Far Cry 6, is a widely popular first-person shooter game released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Stadia, and Amazon Luna.
But nothing is perfect, it also has some errors that bother the players a lot, such as Warm up PSO cache issue.
What Is Warm Up PSO Cache?
Far Cry 6 is such a huge open-world game same as the previous entries in the series and has many things that you can explore. The island of Yara is one of the biggest Far Cry maps to date. So, there is a tremendous amount of assets that the game needs to load before launching.
Warm up PSO cache is the process that happens in the background to load the assets and resources including textures, models, and more. Once the loading is complete, you will be able to enter the game.
But sometimes the process is prolonged and makes the players spend much time on it. And the worst situation is that the game crashes, making the game fail to start.
As a result, “Warm up PSO cache” becomes a concern in the minds of players. To address the crash problem and reduce the time it takes for “Warm up PSO cache,” do the following.

The minimum requirement for running the HD Texture Pack for Far Cry 6 is 12GB of VRAM. For 4K configurations, you will need 16GB of VRAM. If you download and run the HD Texture Pack with lower VRAM capabilities, you will encounter performance issues while playing.
Solution 1. Wait 5-15 Mins
When you boot the Far Cry 6 on your computer for the first time, it’s normal to need time to wait for the game to load. Because the Far Cry 6 is a massive game and its HD Texture Pack needs time to be loaded.
So, when you find the Warm up PSO cache process is too slow, the first thing you need to do is to wait five to fifteen minutes to see whether the game is open normally or not.

- Find the Far Cry 6 on the Processes page.
- Then right-click it and select End Task on the menu.
- After that, reboot your computer and restart the game.
Solution 3. Verify Game Files Via Ubisoft Connect
If restarting the computer also can’t fix this error, you can guess that there might be some corrupted game files. So, you can use Ubisoft Connect and Epic Games Launcher to verify the game files. Here is the way below.
For Ubisoft Connect:
- Open the Ubisoft Connect, then click the Games tab.
- Highlight Far Cry 6, then click the arrow icon in the bottom right.

Solution 5. Move Your Game Files to the SSD
All the preloaded files of the game and online games are stored in a storage disk. It asks the users to have enough disk space to store the game files and other program files. Both HDD and SSD can store data, but there is something different between them.
In general, the users can store the game files on HDD and have a nice experience in playing the game as long as the HDD is big enough. But SSD is better than HDD in some ways:
- The SSD is better than the HDD on the part of game loading speed because the SSD can read the data faster and use less energy.
- The SSD also generates less heat when the computer is running a massive game and that can avoid the game crashing due to overheating.
Some people report that they have fixed this Far Cry 6 Warm up PSO cache by moving all the game installation files to SSD. If you install Far Cry 6 on your HDD, you can also try switching the position of the game file.
If your computer uses an HDD, to upgrade it to an SSD, you can choose to use Migrate OS to SSD/HD Wizard function in MiniTool Partition Wizard. This function can keep your data safe. And you can use your system normally after migration.
One thing you need to pay attention to is that this function is only available for the Pro version and above.
