Notes
|
Disable motion blur and depth of field
- Disabling motion blur helps to reduce input lag.
- Disabling
<GameDepthOfField>
enhances antialiasing on forests and objects that are near, stabilizes the frame rate fluctuation and can give a huge FPS boost in open view areas, for example, on the top of a tower. - Disabling
<GameDepthOfField>
also results in flat and low quality distant objects being more visible, not meshed well with background.
Edit GamerProfile.xml[citation needed] |

Notes
|
Disable HDR
- Might improve performance.
- Breaks hair rendering.
Edit GamerProfile.xml[citation needed] |
---|
|
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).
- Use of SSAO makes MSAA useless because the way it's implemented[4]

Issues unresolved
Crash after first cutscene and random crashing
- Crashes can randomly happen in all parts of the game.[12]
- Crashes are more frequent after first -unskippable- cutscene.[13]
Switch to DirectX 9[14] |
---|
Changing from DirectX 11 to 9 in the video settings may solve this problem. |
Disable any sort of forced AA[14] |
---|
Nvidia GeForce 500-series cards[15] |
---|
Raising your GPU Core Voltage by 25/50 mV may fix crashes. For step-by-step instructions see reference |
Textures and artifacting
Low GPU and CPU usage (~60%)
Enable D3D11MultithreadedRendering[16] |
---|
|
- Note: This causes crash issues with the Uplay version of the game (not recommended.) Also the Ubisoft forums admit it's broken. [citation needed]
Very low FPS in pre-rendered cutscenes
Lower your resolution to 800x600 and/or set Post FX to medium or low |
---|
|
Game crashes with MSVCR100.dll on Windows 10
Change renderer to DX9[17] |
---|
|
Issues fixed
Change UI language
- For some reason Far Cry 3 will sometimes have a (poorly) translated interface.
Set language in registry[citation needed] |
---|
|
Microstutter
Adaptive and dynamic V-sync[citation needed] |
---|
|
CPU Affinity in Windows 8.1[citation needed] |
---|
|
Frame drops and Graphical Issues
- The Built-in Anti-aliasing causes Frame drops and Graphical Issues.
Opting for an external Anti-aliasing method[citation needed] |
---|
|
Rename renderer libraries[20][21] |
---|
|
Low FPS on modern multi-core CPUs
Set CPU affinity[citation needed] |
---|
|
Multi-GPU crash
- If your game freezes and crashes when entering a saved game, you must disable the Post FX option.
Lowering the Post FX option[citation needed] |
---|
|
Game stuck on splash screen
- Game splash screen pops up on desktop and freezes, doing nothing until the process is ended.
Edit GamerProfile.xml[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
|
Game stuck on first skill tree
Select the takedown skill by double-clicking on it, then select another skill[22] |
---|
Parachute will not open
The game reports the wrong button for opening a parachute when jumping with a wing-suit. There seems to be a link between the Crouch and Switch seat keybindings. Make sure that these actions are bound to the same key.[23]
Multiplayer weapons will not level up
- Weapons earn EXP and level up during matches, but do no retain EXP post-game; weapons stay at level 1 indefinitely.
Copy the save file to alternate path[citation needed] |
---|
|
Installation issues
When using a C:\ drive with limited space such as an SSD, the game will not install onto a secondary drive even if you have sufficient free space.
Copy temporary files[citation needed] |
---|
|
Change temp folders location to different drive[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
|
First loading screen stalls or takes excessive amounts of time
Kill WmiPrvSE.exe[citation needed] |
---|
|
Crash when installed in a Windows 8 Storage Space
The Game will refuse to run when installed on a drive which is managed by a Windows 8/8.1 Storage Space.
Installing the game on a drive that is not a Storage Space will fix this issue[citation needed] |
---|
Game crashes on Windows 10
The game tends to crash after about 20 minutes of playing on Windows 10 devices
Disable TabletInputService in Task Manager[14] |
---|
|
Additional solution[citation needed] |
---|
Launch the game in Win8 or Win7 compatibility mode. |
Last possible Step[citation needed] |
---|
The last possible step is to copy the game to your C: Drive. |
Resolution issues before launching
Create GamerProfile.xml[citation needed] |
