Far Cry 5 is out now and players are loving traversing the fictional area of Hope County, Montana. The latest installment in the Ubisoft franchise continues to receive rave reviews for its incredible narrative, intriguing characters, and engaging gameplay. But ... just like other games, it's not exempt from its fair share of bugs and glitches and though there was a patch to "fix" it, the latest discovery continues to pose a problem.

Within the game, there is a day/night cycle for total immersion. The alternating environments allow players to have a sense of time, and in turn urgency, when fighting against crazed cultists. The latest bug, however, takes that timetable away completely and plunges players into what seems like eternal darkness.

The latest patch, seen at the bottom of the article, was said to fix the issue but players are still reporting on the every growing forums that they are still stuck playing the game at night. Ubsioft even responded in the thread stating that they were aware of the issue, but doesn't look like a successful fix has been applied as of yet.

Suggested tips so far to see the light of day again:

  • Join a co-op session
  • Fight a boss

Reloading doesn't seem to work at all, nor does fast traveling. You can see the full forum post here to lend your own experience.
