Template:Video Settings

Change resolution manually

Changing your resolution to 640*480 will greatly increase preformance on bad PCs.
Instructions

Disable HUD

The only way to disable the HUD is by editing a .dll file with a Hex Editor program. You can disable the HUD within the game as of patch 1.04.
Instructions

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).
Instructions

Disable Depth of Field

This will improve performance and fix the low-res textures on the background.
Instructions

Change language in the UI

For some reason Far Cry 3 will sometimes have a (poorly) translated interface.
Instructions

Input settings

Template:Input Settings

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

Instructions

Toggle aiming down sights (ADS) for weapons

Instructions

Fix controller compatibility issues

Instructions

Issues fixed

Clicking "Story" on main menu does nothing

Story button as well as others make a noise when clicked but do not proceed to the next menu.
This issue is usually caused by FC3.dll and FC3_d3d11.dll not being compatible with reloaded uplay_r1_loader.dll and ubiorbitapi_r2_loader.dll. Issue can be fixed easily by editing the hex values of the FC3.dll and FC3_d3d11.dll
Instructions

Windows XP

Attempting to run the game on Windows XP may result in error Application Error 0xc0000142.
Instructions

Multi-GPU crash

If your game freezes and crashes when entering a saved game, you must disable the Post FX option.
Instructions

Game stuck on splash screen

Game splash screen pops up on desktop and freezes, doing nothing until the process is ended.
Instructions

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]

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.

Instructions

Issues unresolved

Game stuck on Skill tree

Game stuck on the first time you enter the skill tree. The game will not exit from the skill tree no matter what key is pressed.

Crash after first cutscene and random crashing

Crash after first cutscene.[2]
First cutscene is also unskippable.[3]
Crashes occur randomly in all parts of the game.[4]

Textures and artifacting

  • Artifact blocks appear on screen.

  • Random lights appear.

  • Escaping to menu and returning and geometry has failed to load correctly.

  • Stretched, hollow blocks of the ground appearing randomly. (Possible Fix for this particular one at least for me is to change to direct X 9.)
