Frame rate limit

Use the -RenderProfile_MaxFPS X command line argument where X is the preferred max FPS[citation needed]

Notes

This is the best method to eliminate micro stuttering - especially with the DX11 executable.[citation needed]
This method is better than adding the command in GamerProfile.xml because you won't have to set the properties to 'read-only', so you can change this parameter without having to lock graphics settings or gameplay settings.

Widescreen resolution

Edit GamerProfile.xml[citation needed]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open GamerProfile.xml with a text editor.
  3. Change ResolutionX= and ResolutionY= to the desired values.

Notes

Whenever you change graphical settings in-game ResolutionX= and ResolutionY= will be reset to 800x600.

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]
  1. Go to the configuration file location.
  2. Open GamerProfile.xml.
  3. Paste following to new line after </CustomQuality>
    <Post>
    <quality GameDepthOfField="0" CinematicDepthOfField="1" MotionBlur="0" FXAALevel="2" id="x" />
    </Post>
  4. Locate <id=x> in the pasted <Post> section and change x to the same value as quality of PostFX set in game, for example <id=ultrahigh>.
  5. Save the file and make it read only.

Notes

Making the file read-only prevents the game from changing any settings so make sure other settings are OK before doing this.
Each setting in <Post> section can be changed individually to one's liking.

Disable HDR

Might improve performance.
Breaks hair rendering.
Edit GamerProfile.xml[citation needed]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open GamerProfile.xml with a text editor.
  3. Find Hdr="x" and change x to 0.

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]
Edit GamerProfile.xml[citation needed]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open GamerProfile.xml with a text editor.
  3. Locate SSAOLevel="x" and change x to 0.

Notes

Whenever you change graphical settings in-game SSAOLevel="0" is changed back to the default 1 (SSAO).

Bind Enter key

Manually bind Enter key to an action[citation needed]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open InputUserActionMap.xml with a text editor.
  3. Locate and replace, or append the following code:
<ActionMap name="common_use_remap">
   <MassRename MergeKey="remap">
      <Rename hexInput="0x646CA0E7:0xA79E3F0F" hexToInput="0x646CA0E7:0xEFDA7A5A" />
   </MassRename>
</ActionMap>
The hex codes are CRC32B hashes of key names. The first half corresponds to either "kb" (0x646CA0E7) or "mouse" (0xAF35B6ED). The second half is the name of the key or button.
To bind Keypad Enter, replace 0xA79E3F0F ("return") with 0x949D9DA2 ("numpadreturn") in the example above.
To bind Keypad Dot/Comma, replace 0xA79E3F0F ("return") with 0x5AFDB393 ("decimal") in the example above.

Toggle aiming down sights (ADS) for weapons

Edit GamerProfile.xml[7]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open GamerProfile.xml with a text editor.
  3. Change IronsightToggleMode="0" to IronsightToggleMode="1"

Negative mouse acceleration

Negative mouse acceleration prevents fast mouse movements. The mouse acceleration option in the Options menu does not fix the negative effect.
Disable negative mouse acceleration[citation needed]
  1. Download the latest version of the Far Cry 3 Mod tools
  2. Extract the file
  3. Go into <path-to-game>\data_win32
  4. Right click on Common.fat and select Open with.
  5. Select browse, then go into the "bin" folder you just extracted and select Gibbed.Dunia2.Unpack.EXE.
If there's no folder, wait a few seconds. The program is only finished once it exits, and it does not indicate it has not finished extracting.
  1. Open the newly created Common_Unpack folder and go into the actionmaps folder.
  2. Open Inputactionmapcommon.xml with a text editor.
  3. Find and replace all instances of maxOutput="10" with maxOutput="999".
  4. Save the file.
  5. Go back to Data_win32 folder.
  6. Now open another Window and head over to the bin folder.
  7. Drag the common_Unpack folder and place it onto Gibbed.Dunia2.Pack.EXE.
  8. Delete Common.dat and Common.fat.
  9. Rename Common_Unpack.dat and Common_Unpack.fat to Common.dat and Common.fat respectively.

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]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open GamerProfile.xml with a text editor.
  3. Find D3D11MultithreadedRendering="0" and change 0 to 1.
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
The game should start to work normally after first unskippable cutscenes (the last one is after escape). You can press ESC to go to main menu to change details.

Game crashes with MSVCR100.dll on Windows 10

Change renderer to DX9[17]
Happens also on DX9 with some demanding mods like Mud's Mod.

Issues fixed

Change UI language

For some reason Far Cry 3 will sometimes have a (poorly) translated interface.
Set language in registry[citation needed]
  1. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Ubisoft\Far Cry 3
  2. Set Language to English
  3. Set SKU to US

Microstutter

These forms of V-Sync can reduce micro-stuttering.[18][19]
Adaptive and dynamic V-sync[citation needed]
  • For Nvidia cards, Adaptive V-Sync can be enabled through the driver control panel. Set 'Vertical sync' to Adaptive.
  • For Nvidia cards and G-Sync monitors, a 60 fps cap in Nvidia Inspector or RTSS will greatly reduce micro-stuttering (if not all of it), only as long as the framerate doesn't drop below 60. GPU Max Buffer Frames set to anything but Off can also help.
  • For AMD cards, Dynamic V-Sync can be enabled using the third-party program RadeonPro. Click the Add new profile icon and find the Far Cry 3 executable (farcry3_d3d11.exe or farcry3.exe). Click the newly created profile and click the Tweaks tab. Set 'VSync Control' to Always on. Enable 'Dynamic Framerate Control' and set 'Keep up to' to 60.
CPU Affinity in Windows 8.1[citation needed]
  • For Windows 8.1 users, toggle off the core with max usage in the CPU affinity settings. For Core i7 CPUs, toggle the hijacking core and its corresponding logical thread.

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]
  1. Disable the in-game Anti-aliasing option.
  2. Open Nvidia Control Panel or AMD Radeon Settings.
  3. Enable the desired Anti-aliasing method from the Graphics Card's application.
  4. Save configuration.
Rename renderer libraries[20][21]
  1. Rename FC3_d3d11.dll to FC3.dll and FC3.dll to FC3_d3d11.dll in bin folder
  2. Set your renderer in options to DX11
The game will launch in DX9 but will have all in game graphic options open. In the cost of some graphical downgrade, it may result in much better performance (especially on weak CPUs and AMD GPUs).
After long times of gameplay, it can lead to some glitches (none of a save affecting).

Low FPS on modern multi-core CPUs

Set CPU affinity[citation needed]
  1. Open the game.
  2. Once in-game, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to open the Task Manager.
  3. Click on Detail tab and find FarCry3.exe or FarCry3_d3d11.exe.
  4. Right-click, select Set affinity.
  5. Uncheck CPU0, CPU1 and every other core after that (CPU3, CPU5...) leaving max 4-5 CPU cores selected (e.g. on 12 cores/threads CPU only check CPU2, CPU4, CPU6, CPU8, CPU10).
  6. Confirm with OK and monitor fps changes in game window.
  7. Play with affinity settings until optimal FPS achieved.
  8. Install a program such as Process Lasso to make the affinity permanent.

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]
  1. Enter the game and enter the Options menu.
  2. Enter the Video Quality menu.
  3. Set the graphics quality to Custom
  4. Set all parameters to your personal preference.
  5. Set the Post FX options to Low

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]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open GamerProfile.xml with a text editor.
  3. Find VSync="x" and change x to 0

Notes

If this does not work, delete %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Far Cry 3\GamerProfile.xml

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]
  1. Copy folder 46 from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\0c7ddfbe-d92d-4270-8cf9-3493a81f0c2d\
  2. Go to %PROGRAMDATA%\ and make a folder called Orbit (if it does not already exist).
  3. Make sure Orbit is set to hidden (right-click, Properties, Hidden).
  4. Paste folder 46 into Orbit.

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]
  1. Go to the temporary files %temp%
  2. Find the Far Cry 3 install folder
  3. Copy these folder to your secondary drive, then start the setup process
Change temp folders location to different drive[citation needed]
  1. Prepare new folder for temp files in different drive.
  2. Right click on top of start button and select System
  3. From left column open Advanced system settings
  4. From Advanced tab click Environment Variables button.
  5. In user variable list, change both TEMP and TMP to newly created folder.
  6. Save changes and restart computer.

Notes

To access enviroment variables more quickly, simply search for Enviroment variables with Windows search.

First loading screen stalls or takes excessive amounts of time

Kill WmiPrvSE.exe[citation needed]
  1. Open the game
  2. Once the loading screen comes up, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to open the Task Manager.
  3. Click processes and make sure "show all processes" is selected at the bottom of the screen.
  4. Find WmiPrvSE.exe, right click it, end procress.
  5. The loading screen should end shortly afterwards.

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]
  1. Press Ctrl+ Shift+Esc to open the Task Manager.
  2. Click on Services.
  3. Find TabletInputService (Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service).
  4. Stop the service.
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.
