The car I drive (in real life) always has the headlights on, even during the day. Pretty much every car nowadays does...

Are they on at full power all the time? in Norway we need to use "driving lights" all the time.

Yeah, we here have to drive with lights on 24/7 at all times. Spooks me out to look at the US and UK and the people without lights. So no prob here for me

Big annoyance - the audio of the game skips and repeats a lot usually when the soldiers are calling for backup or are saying that they located you and all available should respond. please fix this it is extremely bothersome.

[Dmrk42]

i just wanted to share the problems i have had first i have the usual sound problems but i also have a problem where rico will say something like time to meet the factions and markers will appear on the screen and will not go away here is a picture to show you what i mean.




this will not go away and is really frustrating as it gets in the way of everything and makes driving and shooting in that direction almost impossible because vehicles and enemy's are hidden behind it.

please release a patch for this it is really frustrating that something like this is still in the game.

What do you expect. You've destroyed everything and taken over the place.

Anyways I just want more peds. It's so....empty. The big cities need to be full of life.

I've read so many problems, it's almost like they haven't made games before, but of course they've made a few, but perhaps they could do alot more research, and sorry but they could be more dedicated, and test the game over and over until there's almost no noticable glitches, and maybe use an advanced bugs/glitches scanner, and they could learn alot from the many game developers out there, because there are so many things missing, realistic plane/car/bike/boat capabilities, and definately VTOL and reversing for planes, and and they could bring in intelligent gamers like the many people in this community. I know it's hard work, but isn't it rewarding when you get so many compliments and you'll get a better audience and more sales, if your really that bothered about money. I wish you good luck on your future creations Avalanche, Eidos and Square Enix.

[PC]--A bug which happened after going to High Mile Club, the time froze at 3.27 AM, not only the clock, but all the night/day cycle.. Night Foerever. I had to restart the game..

[eieio1]

Don't ask how I got into the situation but I was pulling an armoured tank out from behind a tree i got it stuck behind with a truck but when I was pulling out the truck I went a bit to far forward and the truck went down a hill and landed on its front bumber. NOW THIS IS WERE IT GET BUGGER, all of the sudden the screen freaks out and the screen is not just a mishmass of diffferent parts of the screen, its hard to describe and I can't take a screen shot of it but think of it that it is a bunch of triangles infront of the screen of random colours and everywhere is flashing different colours that match the area around me. I closed the game and restarted it but know it has happened with the intro screen and all other parts of the game too, everything is wierd on the screen I can't see text just the text block with blue triangles from the background seeping onto the text box.

The game runs fine and I know its running fine but that crash just caused the game to mess with something and now all I can see is a random assortmant of coloured triangles.....yay
Anyhelp would be apritiated. failing that im just going to re download it from steam.

Sorry if this is a double post..

-Chain link fences are bullet proof, AI won't even attempt to shoot through it.

-Rocket launchers don't need to be reloaded? Enemy rocket troops have slow moving heat seeking missiles, but when I pick up the launcher enemy dropped, it is fast moving rocket. Same with helicopters with rockets.

-Weapon upgrades seem to be affecting enemies weapons as well. The machine gun in particular drains my health after 5 shots on normal after I have upgraded it. This is even after upgrading my armor several times.

-I finally unlocked the tank for delivery, spent 100k on it, only to have it decimated in under a minute by enemies with sawed off shotguns, pistols, and SMGs. Last time I checked, buckshot and 9mm rounds weren't that effective against armored vehicles.

-Enemies parachuting in for backup are invulnerable to being shot out of the sky.

-Enemy jeeps, helis, and boats show up on minimap, but not enemies on foot, annoying to try and get to cover around a corner only to find 3 guys there.

-With no enemies around the alert level goes right to red instead of orange. While in a red alert, if you kill all enemies in the area, the alert stays red instead of going to orange like I assume it should.

-While in a government vehicle, enemies know it's me from quite a distance, would be great if there was some sort of disguise effect while in one.

-90% of the time SAMs do not count twards the completion of an area, while other times they do.

-Some villages have items and sabotages well out of the radius of the village that still count twards the completion of the village or base. Should extend the radius to continue showing the % under the minimap.

-Sometimes a firefight between a faction and the army sounds like it's happening right next to me even though it is happening a couple of hundred meters away.

-While up on a skyscraper or top of an oil rig, attempting to jump down to a ledge a couple of feet down will result in a full on base jump. This has happened many times to me and is quite irritating.

It must be some sort of random glitch, I am stood on top of a building in that very airport right now and I can pick up the items just fine. Out of interest, have you tried starting and aborting a race? That fixes the pedestrian bug, so there's a chance ot might fix this too.

BTW, I checked this on an EU 360 with a PAL copy of the game.

There is an unidentified settlement at X:11699 Y:5106 South of where you get the Mercenaries Must Die mission, and east of Negeri Gandin (Military Base). Upon entering what I assume is a military air base, the location never shows up on the PDA. Parts of the base are only cosmetic. What I mean is, buildings, rocks, things that normally need to be blown up, and even the ground built up on the sides of the cliffs on the upper portion of the base, you can walk right through all of it. It looks like everythings there, but you can't shoot, grapple, or destroy any of the destroyable items. The AI can see you as if those things aren't even there. From what I saw there were 3 gas tanks, a broadcast tower, and a generator, that cannot be destroyed because of this. I did not explore the base in full, but I did find a G9 Eclipse Jet in the hangar, and found out the hard way that the runway is also affected by this glitch.

I revisited what turned out to be Banjaran Gundin Military Airport and everything was working like it should, all surfaces were solid, and all objects were usable. I was able to get 100% completion on the settlement. I was not in a mission when I first encountered the bug, and wasn't in one when I revisited the area. I don't know what cause the glitch, but apparantly reloading the game fixed it. After leaving the base on foot however, my alert level was gone, and I headed to the Mercenaries Must Die mission. The person in the guard tower at the bridge was shooting at me and the alert level didn't rise again until he actually hit me with a bullet. I tossed a charge at the tower and blew it up, then noticed the gatling gun was just hovering over the ground with nothing holding it up.

Original 60GB PS3 with upgraded HDD - and Limited Edition JC2:

1. got the game today and played for a while, saved and quit the game, at this point it reset my console...

2. impossible to shoot through chain fences

3. Planes appear out of empty hangars...

4. is it just me being an idiot, but how are you supposed to land a plane? the landing gear raises when you take off but it does not lower when you near the ground?

5. why cant i drop a grenade while hanging from something by my grapple?

6. when you have completed a mission to take over a base, if you then begin to destroy all the government stuff, you will still hear chatter on the radio saying they have spotted you etc, when they aren't even there any more?

[Mercenary4u]

Many of the annoyances that are already stated and such are all on my list.. However, I'm playing the game right now and stumbled onto a horrid graphics glitch. This is on the Playstation 3.

X: 30463
Y: 30835

That's the location. When standing on the ground, not on the building, you appear to be walking on air where the concrete and mountain meet, you can CLEARLY see under the structure. This 'hole' can't be missed if you walk around the place. It's fairly large.

[Rich949]

Here we are listing all the little things that tick us off in the game, but does Eidos even care? Developers hardly ever seem to with their games. Sad, because I love this damn game, and I want to be able to love it more.

[gamble606]

After playing JC2 for a while i have come to the conclusion that this games was never tested before being released. a couple of points i have and please forgive if i have re entered any from other posts:
1. Too many enemies, while on mission
2. Energy last less than 5 seconds
3. Upgrades are useless cause they effect the AI too
4. I was standing doing nothing and a guy in a red hat walked into me and then a full scale riot started
5. hi-jacking takes too long
6. not enough ammo reloads for the guns i have its been 2 hours since i found sniper rifle reloads
7. cant crouch and fire ??? why the hell not ????
8. the races are stupid a 1 star air race is too hard with the basic controls used ??
9. the armoured vehicle lasted 20 seconds during the mission to steal it ? whats the point in stealing it then...
10. why after buying a sniper rifle do i have to buy it again just to get reloads and why is it all so expensive

I could go on but i think many other people will also have problems to write too
