<p>Like many open-world games, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/far-cry-5/">Far Cry 5</a> features a day/night cycle. Due to an unfortunate bug, however, a large number of players have found their game world plunged into a never-ending darkness.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The issue has affected some of us here at GameSpot; we&#8217;re stuck permanently playing the game at night, which just isn&#8217;t ideal&#8211;it can be awfully hard to see anything. This problem led to a sizable <a href="https://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/1859910-Bug-Always-Night-in-Far-Cry-5/page11" rel="nofollow">forum thread</a> on Ubisoft&#8217;s support site, where numerous players have shared similar stories. Some believe this occurs following the mission The Cleansing, though it&#8217;s unclear if this is the sole cause. It&#8217;s also not guaranteed to happen, as not everyone is affected.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Ubisoft has acknowledged the problem in the forum thread, but this problem has continued for over a week with no sign of an official fix. Players on all platforms&#8211;PS4, Xbox One, and PC&#8211;appear to be affected. A <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/far-cry-5-update-improves-co-op-mode-fixes-gamepla/1100-6458026/">new update</a> has just been released on PC and is on its way to consoles on April 9, but early reports suggest it doesn&#8217;t fix the problem. The patch notes don&#8217;t specifically mention it, though unspecified bugs are addressed.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Some players have reported that killing a boss or joining a co-op session can break the nighttime lock, but it doesn&#8217;t seem to be a foolproof measure. We&#8217;re testing this on PS4 and will report back with our findings.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In the meantime, as we await a fix, check out the newest episode of Potato Mode, which shows just <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/we-absolutely-destroyed-far-cry-5s-graphics-and-ma/1100-6457952/">how bad Far Cry 5&#8217;s graphics can be</a> (when you can actually see anything, that is).</p>
