Essential improvements
Make 100% Completion Possible
- Because of two unpatched bugs, no more than 99.96% completion can be attained in the vanilla game. One of the 221 water towers does not actually exist, and the final optional sidequest - no matter which one it happens to be - does not reward the usual 3 Weapon and 3 Vehicle parts.
Use Jusupov's 100% Completion and World Location Settings mods[3] |

|
Bullseye Rifle fix
- This mod fixes a couple of annoying issues with the Bullseye Rifle (a DLC weapon), like using improper ammo type, lack of possibility to zoom with scope and more.

Issues fixed
AMD launch crash fix
- AMD's graphics drivers codenamed Crimson are not compatible with Just Cause 2 Multiplayer.
Solutions here[citation needed] |
---|
Possible crash fix
- Crashing issues observed with decals on some Nvidia cards.[10]
Use DXVK |
---|
This should allow the "Decals" option to be enabled without crashes and overall makes the game less prone to crashing.
|
Disable dual core optimizations for ASYNC10[11] |
---|
|
Turn off 'decals' in video options menu[12] |
---|
Turn off Steam overlay in the Steam game properties[citation needed] |
---|
Directx Error 3
Run the game with the /dxadapter=0 command line argument.[citation needed]
|
---|
Slingshotting does not give momentum
Enable V-Sync in-game or manually lock the game framerate to 60 FPS.[citation needed] |
