Change resolution manually
- Changing your resolution to 640*480 will greatly increase preformance on bad PCs.
Disable HUD
- The HUD and mini-map are extremely large and intrusive for this game. Ubisoft is reportedly working on a patch to allow incorporate optional settings for disabling UI elements; however, at this time, the only way to disable the HUD is by editing the .dll file with a Hex Editor program.
Disable ambient occlusion
- Ambient occlusion can't be disabled completely through the in-game settings when playing in DirectX 11, only switched to various techniques available (SSAO, HBAO, HDAO).
Disable Depth of Field
- This will improve performance and fix the low-res textures on the background.
Change language in the UI
- For some reason Far Cry 3 will sometimes have a (poorly) translated interface.

Remapping
- Driving keys are not updated when remapping the movement keys, currently there doesn't seem to be a way to remap them.
Manually bind enter key to an action
This does not allow you to hit enter to bind a key. Can you explain the procedure to get "enter" as the bound key for "jump"?
DOES NOT WORK.
Toggle aiming down sights (ADS) for weapons
Issues fixed
Windows XP
- Attempting to run the game on Windows XP may result in error
Application Error 0xc0000142
.
Multi-GPU crash
- If your game freezes and crashes when entering a saved game, you must disable the Post FX option.
Parachute will not open
Game reports wrong button for opening parachute when jumping with wing-suit. There seems to be link between crouch binding and change vehicle seat binding. Make sure that these actions are bound to same key. [1]
