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.)
Issues fixed
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.

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.

|---|
Change UI language
- For some reason Far Cry 3 will sometimes have a (poorly) translated interface.
| Instructions |
|---|
- 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
