@soldius Latest Wildlands patch didn't fix the game launch issue -- there is a workaround though, it requires you to move the game folder to external drive, i.e. Thunderbolt or USB 3.0 SSD and point the uplay client to it. The only problem is that apparently the game is not optimized for the laptop AMD GPUs at all -- I have an MBP 2016 with Radeon Pro 455 (2 GB VRAM) and the game runs at 20 fps on average even with the most of settings set to low, including textures and shadows -- therefore it's not playable at all. I wonder how it works on yours 460 with 4 GB of VRAM.

I wonder how it works on yours 460 with 4 GB of VRAM. There are also certain things you can change in the graphics options to really boost fps. For example, disabling v-sync, dialing down or turning off anti-aliasing, lowering your res to 1080p, using DX12 etc. (and of course overclocking the card as it overclocks well I've been told).

Thanks MKS. Don't know if I want to fork out for an external drive yet, but thanks for the heads up. I'll let you know how it plays if when I get it fixed. Newer games I have Tainbox 6 Siege and BF1 play great (thanks to newer drivers from bootcampdrivers.com

Well, my MBP with Radeon 455 doesn't have any problems with Crysis 3, Forza 6, Rainbow 6 Siege, GTA 5 and The Division -- all of them run very well (30fps+) with the high settings, v-sync on and everything, at either 1050p or 1080p. With the latest bootcampdrivers.com Crimson driver, The Division, the most frequently game played by me, performs even better -- so, it is rather Wildlands being not optimized, I'm afraid...

I wonder how it works on yours 460 with 4 GB of VRAM. Happy to report and big thanks to MKS, bought a Lexar 3.0 USB 128 GIG Jumpstick for 29.00 on Amazon. Installed Ghost Recon Wildlands on the USB Drive (D and Works! This is a solution that works for Macbook Pro 2016 users with AMD Radeon Cards and of course bootcampdrivers.com drivers. This goes counter intuitive to all the advice UBI customer support gives you. They still have no clue. I am running the game at highest resolution no problem. No stuttering or artifacts. MAcbook Pro 2016 Windows 10 Pro Bootcam Radeon Pro 460 4 GIGS VRAM 16 GIG Ram 2.7 ITB SSD of which 450 is for Windows. So if your Ghost Recon Wildlands wont launch this solution works, if only for MAcbook Pro 2016. Thanks for all your help. Now on to reaming UBI and getting some free s..t!

Good to hear you've solved it. Unusual that installing onto external actually SOLVES the issue (normally its the other way around). You might want to let UBI soft know so that they can implement a fix.

People keep talking about ReLive working, but it doesn't for me using the latest drivers. Alt-z or Ctrl+Shift+r etc, do nothing for me. 395X late 2015 iMac. I have it installed and switched on OK. Any ideas? Sorry if this has been asked before.

Any ideas? Sorry if this has been asked before. If you look under the compatibility page you will see that Relive does not work for iMac 5k until you disable eyefinity in the Crimson software settings, but that then lowers the maximum resolution to 4k down from 5k.

Thanks Matt. OK, so I go to the Eyefinity page, select discard and nothing happens. I try Ctrl+Shift+r in a game, and still nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

Discard and then apply the settings and check that your resolution can only be set to 4K, then disable and re-enable ReLive and you should find it works.

But Discard doesn't do anything. There is no 'apply' that I can see.

Do you mean in the AMD Radeon Display page, or something else?

after discarding eyefinity are you left with a 'quick setup' button instead

No, nothing happens at all. Screen looks the same with 'Discard' and 'advanced Setup' (which does nothing, just goes back to main screen).
