Key points

Poor port with many bugs and issues that have not been fixed and very bad performance.[1] For example, if one wants to access the settings whilst in-game, one must quit to the main menu.[2] Furthermore, there are many problems with the game remembering remapped keys.[3]

Widescreen resolution

Title Update 1.2 will lock the resolution to 720p.[5] Patching to Title Update 1.4 resolves a lot of video resolution problems, and enables the game to be played in most resolutions and in Eyefinity set ups.

Issues unresolved

Steam Multiplayer

Any time you connect to a host with a different patch, you will be booted within 10–15 seconds of connecting. This is because the Steam version of the game is different to other multiplayer hosts or clients.[6]

Issues fixed

Can't connect to Co-op games

Check that no other network adapters are enabled. Adapters such as VPN, Virtual Box, and others may cause conflict. In the event that multiple are present, disable all but the one your intend to use and the issue should be resolved. Alternatively, you can attempt to change the priority for the network adapter.[7]

Mouse Won't Work

Whilst the keyboard and mouse may be selectable within the game menu, but does not work in the game. Uninstalling the drivers for any installed gamepads fixes for some people.[8]

Game does not go fullscreen correctly

Go to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier and edit default.cfg, change the resolution, save, then set the file to read only.

Mouse not clipping to the game window

Go to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier and edit default.cfg; change fullscreen from True to False, save, then set the file to read only.

Poor performance

Disable Ambient Occlusion in graphics options. Due to poor optimization, the effect is extraordinarily resource-intensive.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/212630/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (212630) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
