Just Cause 3 is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.Just Cause 4 is set to release next week and the question on every PC gamer lips is "will it run well on my PC", a pertinent question given its predecessor's well-documented performance issues on both PC and console hardware.ĭigital Foundry has managed to get a sneak peek at the game's PC version, running on both Radeon and Geforce graphics hardware with performance levels and graphical accomplishments that put Just Cause 3 to shame.

It’s important to note that this is not effecting all users. Even once this has happened, the process starts all over if a player opens the menu, which can certainly be frustrating. Apparently, every time the connection drops out, at either the user end or Square Enix’s end, the game freezes for a minute or so before asking the player if they would like to play in offline mode.

While Just Cause 3 is not an online-only game, it does maintain a connection to the servers to track leaderboards for assorted statistics, like kills, deaths, and longest airtime. The disconnects from Square Enix’s servers seem to be the biggest issue. Along with the rating are reports of a variety of bugs: they range from bad connections with Square Enix’s servers, to framerate drops, to regular crashes to desktop. The game currently has a “mixed” rating on Steam just a few hours after launch. Some critics and Steam users are reporting bugs and connectivity issues with Just Cause 3’s PC edition.
