Essential improvements
Patches
- Patch v1.4 (32-bit only) - The latest patch available for the game. On non GOG versions, a bug that might be encountered is that the AI can see the player through walls and kill him quickly, use Unofficial Patch 1.41 to fix it.
- 64-bit Upgrade Patch - Upgrades the game to take advantage of 64-bit architectures, allowing for higher frame rates and other optimizations. Both 64 bit patches are NOT intended to be installed over the latest 1.4 patch (which all digital versions include), the effect this could have on gameplay is completely unpredictable.
- 64-bit Enhanced Content Patch - Adds exclusive features such as higher resolution textures and objects as well as increased viewing distances in some cases. 64-bit Upgrade Patch required. Game may exit may to desktop on Rebellion level near lighthouse. Finish the fragment using the 32-bit binary - saves are cross compatible.

Notes

Unofficial Patch 1.41
The GameFront link has game and PunkBuster server info as well.
- Fixes issues with AI, bugs and other stuff founds within the 1.4 patch.
- Serve as a replacement to the official patch.
SilentPatch
- Fixes the water reflections for landmasses not working on Vista and newer systems.
- Fixes the in-game Vsync option and common crashes.
- Implements the
-64bit

How to install[5] |
---|
|
Tent AI Bug Fix
- Fixes AI seeing through tents.
- Standalone version of GOG fix. (Is not required for the GOG version due to a hotfix added.)
FarOut Widescreen
- Integrates Unofficial Patch 1.41, SilentPatch and Tent AI Bug Fix. Can be selected during setup.
- Widescreen support for FarCry, from 4:3 up to 48:9.
- Fixed FOV to prevent textures stretching.
- Use the
-mod:FarOut_Widescreen
command line argument to launch modded version directly from Steam, once installed. This argument is absolutely required for FarOut Widescreen to work.
Far Cry Fix
- 32-bit version can be found here.
- Includes the 64-bit exclusive patches.
- Adds Quick saving and loading (assigned to the F5 and F9 keys).
- Includes widescreen FMVs.
- Large file size due to included videos.
- FMVs are from the console port, Far Cry Classic, which has altered levels. Cutscenes will have some inconsistencies with the PC version.
Far Cry Multiplayer Community Patch LRv3
- Multiplayer patch which reincorporates an in-game server list among other changes at the menu and options.
- Several new in-game panels for player and server-administration, automatic map-downloading, leaderboards, widescreen support, built-in auto-updater, new game modes, mapping features and modifiable weapon balance and game logic.
- Built-in multiplayer anti-cheat engine (PunkBuster support dropped by Even Balance).
- Server Side Mod (SSM) which includes additional config commands and files to customize game server behaviour.
- Single player portion removed from main menu. (Load Far Cry with FCLoader → 1.40 / 1.33 for single player)
- Incompatible with most other community mods and fixes due to client-side file integrity check upon boot.
Add Quicksave/Quickload

Widescreen resolution | Vert-. Use Far Cry Widescreen Fix or FarOut Widescreen. | ||
Multi-monitor | Vert-. Use Far Cry Widescreen Fix or FarOut Widescreen. | ||
Ultra-widescreen | Vert-. Use Far Cry Widescreen Fix or FarOut Widescreen. | ||
4K Ultra HD | Vert-. Use Far Cry Widescreen Fix or FarOut Widescreen. | ||
Field of view (FOV) | Use FarOut Widescreen or Far Cry Widescreen Fix and set FOVFactor = 1.0 to desired value in FarCry.WidescreenFix.ini . |
||
Windowed | |||
Borderless fullscreen windowed | Use Far Cry Widescreen Fix while in windowed mode. | ||
Anisotropic filtering (AF) | Up to 8x. Force 16x in the graphic card's control panel. | ||
Anti-aliasing (AA) | Up to 8x MSAA. Also Sparse Grid SuperSampling AA is available via Nvidia Inspector with 0x000000C1 flag (works when HDR is on!), or it's possible to combine both SGSSAA and Nvidia DSR by selecting 4x multiplier (if the monitor is Full HD for example) in Nvidia control panel (very demanding, but results in superior image quality compared to other AA methods). |
||
Vertical sync (Vsync) | Use SilentPatch[5] | ||
60 FPS and 120+ FPS | No frame rate cap. High FPS speeds up the load times considerably compared to 60 FPS cap. However, the AI's aiming becomes more difficult to play against at high framerates, and physics can be glitched (especially when climbing out of ladders). | ||
High dynamic range display (HDR) | HDR Rendering is available after patch v1.3 with the console command \r_hdrrendering 7 . Just change the number to the personal preference. Rendered image uses SDR color space. In-game HDR option refers only to HDR Rendering. |

DSOAL doesn't work with 64 bit binary. If encountering sound disappearing after long gameplay periods using the 64 bit binary, simply restart the game.
