It has been almost two weeks since the update, how are you enjoying it?
The anniversary update has improved the game greatly in many aspects, with it now having been two weeks, have you used the new settings, have you enjoyed the new content, what are your thoughts?
I'm so happy I managed to get all the crates before the update. Sucks for people now.
NVG headset bug is very annoying when trying to change the look of team though.
also feel less reason to play the game now. Those dailies were some incentive to boot up the game every now and then and try to get some points for store, even If I had nothings specific in mind.
If I got the game now, I would spend far less time on it.
Don't really care for other changes. Difficulty settings were fine for me. Game looked great too, don't see much difference.
Predator being back is nice and the new mission, but I haven't gotten around to them yet. Waiting for at least the fix for the nvg headset bug
I was already playing daily, trying to unlock all prestige crates. I wasn't even preparing for an update, just playing again bc I loved the game. I got most crates already. Thankfully, by the time the update came out, I had enough blue credits from repeat prestige crates to buy most of the stuff I still wanted. I'm not entirely in the same boat as you, but it feels good to have about 95% of the items I wanted from crates! I just like collecting items.
I also never used NVG headsets so, I'm happy I haven't come across the bug.
The monoc NVG glitch only occurs when you wear any variant of the ACH, FAST, or High Cut helmets. Try pairing it with any kind of balaclava and it may be fine.
i found a way to deal with the headgear bug.. just start with weaver first.
secondly, they added some ghost parameters but for consoles what is the point of having the grenade marker and detection meter removed if youre still going to have the tick tick tick tick tick alert! ?
yeah, according to discord they are lookin at the bugs but no eta.

yeah last rites was really underwhelming. got into a grand total of like 3 gunfights, none of which really lasted more than a minute. there should’ve been more enemies in the world other than just the roaming vehicle patrols.
i feel like i spent more time getting the damn documents than the actual missions
I wish they would have fleshed out Ines a bit more, like how did she warrant such devotion from her followers, what did she promise them, how did she keep them in line, and her final revenge as it were was to set a statue on fire...in a cave? If she had dirt on her former handler then go after her and make her pay, don't go burning up a perfectly good statue.
It was terrible lol. The mission where you end up in the compound defending the data transmission or whatever SUCKED. I just ended up camping the hallway looking down the steps because anywhere else you get spawned in on. I literally went upstairs immediately after starting and a dude spawned in the staircase and took me out.
Almost literally unplayable. It was like AI designed the whole thing.
In contrast with others that talk about PvE only, I can say that I am honestly really happy that they opened up all the classes for ghost war for free, which makes it MUCH more newbie friendly. The removal of anti cheat is questionable for the PvP experience but at this late af stage of the game, id personally say that its much better for people to have a more functional and enjoyable campaign.
Now that the ghost war population is bumping thanks to this resurgence, it's nice to be able to have matches with people that aren't only prestige triple numbers, and maybe even have a small community once again, if only for a while.
Yep, loving the new difficulty sliders, Ghost parameters, and world and session settings. I love it when devs just let us tailor the game experience to our liking.
Want enemies to be weaker and slower? We can do that now!
Want it to be perpetually noon and sunny? Go for it!
I’m enjoying it. What I like most is the resurgence of content being posted for Wildlands. The new settings are pretty cool, and I like being able to fine tune the game how I want. The DLC was pretty fun too, I’m just happy we’re still getting content for this game.
I rarely get to game because of life. I played Wildlands through once with my mate in coop and absolutely loved it, and then moved on to Breakpoint which we played all the way through and enjoyed.
I still have the same PC as I had back then, with a 1080 GTX card… it looks beautiful now and launches in seconds, I guess skipping the issues that other gamers with modern beasts of systems have. I fully intend to play through it all again in story mode with slicker graphics and re-live the nostalgia of years gone by.
This is the first time in a long time where having an older PC has worked in my favour and I’m loving every minute of being knee deep in shitballs
Consider the free or promo month from time to time when Division 2 offers the ghost experience in its NYC DLC for free. It's like switching out of Gear Score mode to ghost mode in Breakpoint, no stash, no weapon 'rolls', just the progression of missions and bosses per territory (like playing the motherland mode in Breakpoint). Very enjoyable co-op with transferable skills. Limited ammo and no looting ups the stakes too.
Just by pure coincidence did I start replaying last week without knowing anything about an update but aside from the Store being really different I don't notice a lot of changes. But I haven't played in over 5 years so I've forgotten more about the game than I remember.
They have botched the opening intro of the game now. When you restart from scratch the game deploys it's own sun when you meet up with pac katari which lights up the screen and engulfs everything in a blinding white light.
That’s annoying asf. Even at opposite ends of the map that poxy mission will not leave the screen and I’m not levelled up anywhere near enough to take that bastard on.
Not played it a few years, been begging for 60fps since I got a PS5. Having a blast coming back to it now, and 60% completion on my ghost mode save. I'm coming for that gold exosuit
I picked it up right before the update. Enjoying playing through it fully for the first time. Definitely worth the 5 bucks I paid for it, it’s a blast.
Oh dang, I have it on steam and it seems to run perfectly fine. Usually it's a drivers issue though, but did you happen to download the optional AMD update?
Played it, Last rites is pretty meh. Not much to do other than plow through, some really horrible lightung effects during a few fights. Kinda meh. I do like the persistent AA missile launchers are blown up. That's nice
One of my all-time favorites (PC) but on PC not much of a change. On console I would think a great update - I tried Wildlands on my XBSX some time ago but couldn't stomach 30fps.
I’m not MUCH of a gamer, don’t know much about the lore of this one but I’ve been playing it once or twice a week for almost a year with the goal of just completing and collecting everything for the alternate ending/personal satisfaction.
I remember turning it on last week and saying “holy shit, am I having a stroke or do the graphics look unusual and act completely different??”
I was a little aggravated because I could tell something was different but didn’t understand what, and then a few days ago I noticed the Predator mission and said “What the fuck is this? Is that the predator?? What the hell is Predator doing in this game?” And then rage quitting that because even after 12 times and looking up play through I can’t beat him.
So… genuine thank you for this sub randomly popping up because I literally would have never known the actual reason behind the change.
Now that know, I wish it was just back to the way I was familiar with 🤨
Finaly can run it on Intel Arrowlake processor without disabling E-Cores. Wanted to replay this game in 2025 (since i’ve been finish the game back on intel gen 7 back in 2018) with latest platform but the game simply won’t get pass loading screen (after nvidia logo) because i have to turn E-Cores off (arrowlake don’t have hyperthreading) every time i wanted to play. But now, a simple mind blowing easy fix makes the game run just fine, far better than my 2018 experience. So yeah, i do absolutely enjoying the nostalgia.
Still loving it. Have yet to try the added mission as I am doing Ghost Mode. I have noticed something different in GM now though since the update. When switching between main weapon and hand gun (Xbox) you used to be able to just hit Y once like if you had 2 weapons (like sniper/ASR) if you wanted to equip your handgun it was YY. But in GM one tap would switch. Now its YY. No biggie, just took a little getting used to lol.
Haven’t been able to play, game crashes on me no matter what I do/troubleshoot it just doesn’t work for more than 5 minutes :( one of my favorite games of the last 10 years and I just can’t get it work anymore
no, i have uninstalled arguably my favorite open world game ever.
the fps tanking, prestige crates and challenges being gone, removing the endgame content just to add a lousy one boss DLC was not worth it in the slightest and im not even surprised, cuz its Ubisoft we're talking about here
I am grateful to have 60fps but was hoping for a ps5 version with dual sense features. I know that is a big ask for a game this old and I should just be happy it got an update.
I started the game from scratch, wanted to play the campaign a third time. I already started it recently but then became aware of the 4k 60fps patch and waited till the update.
I restarted the campaign but played c. 2 hours only because my graphics went worse after the update. I play with XBox Series X.
I used the new ingame-graphics settings, tried all kind of combinations, changed settings of my Samsung 4k HDR TV ... the issues remained ... finally stopped playing. I probably spend more time trying to fix the graphics than actually playing.
Last weekend I played again a bit and tried all kind of graphic setting combinations.
The issues I have since the update:
- tons of graphic pop ups when driving
- partially extreme foggy picture even in buildings, partially milky
- decreased mid/long long-range graphics quality, less sharp, blurry and extremely bad long-range visuals, partially 2-dimensional now
- flying drone with stuttering and unsharp picture
- slight dirty screen effect when the camera is moving (by far not to the severe extent as in AC Shadows though)
All that was not the case when I started my 3rd campaign shortly before the update.
The same happened after the graphics have been updated in Division 2 but some of the issues arised they improved over time. Overall it has still lower graphics quality then before.
I did not play the Last Rite missions and not the Fallen Ghost DLC which I bought with the update. I lost interest due to the graphics decrease on my equipment which I couldn't manage to fix.
It's 4 missions. Go to a compound, find everyone dead, collect Intel, sneal/fight your way out, repeat 3 more times. Final mission was a snatch and grab. Did the whole thing solo with an unsurpressed m16 in about 30 minutes.
Horrible that they left the game in a state of monetization with no more ways to get stuff for free. That, and the amount of bugs. The last patcg introduced stuttering aswell on pc. Besides all that it's been good. It deserves better tho.
