Ubisoft Release Far Cry 5 Patch

Opinion on Far Cry 5 appears to be somewhat divided. Some love it as a brand new installment to the series which shows a dystopian future in the US. Others feel that the overall play is shadow and limited. Regardless of your opinion, however, it seems that Ubisoft is keen to improve where they can with the game. As such via their official website, they have released a new patch for the game.

The main bulk of the patch seems to fix the save corruption issue some users were experiencing. It does, however, also address the multiplayer connection issues.

Given that they have been fighting off a hostile takeover from Vivendi, it’s amazing they found the time.
