Far Cry 2 - Enhanced Texture Pack
This is a texture pack for Far Cry 2 that uses ERSGAN AI upscaling to improve the original textures. All the textures except decals have been upscaled. Decals weren't excluded becuase the upscaler doesn't play very nicely with transparency. The road signs have been completely retextured with a 'hand painted' font.
The 'Singleplayer Mods' version has the following differences to be compatible with most mods:
- No main menu logo textures.
- No Xianyong Bai character portrait texture.
- No map icons texture.
- Most multiplayer/in-game editor textures removed.
- Extra high resolution weapon icons.
The AI upscaling is not going to make this look like a current-gen game. It serves to smooth out pixelation and remove compression artefacts. Check out the images to see a variety of comparisons.
Installation instructions and the necessary tools are included.
Unless you are using the 'UI only' option your .exe must have the 4GB patch applied or the game will crash. I have included pre-patched .exe files and the instructions also explain how you can do the patch yourself.
7-Zip is required to unpack the files.
If you report any bugged textures I can only fix them if you send me a save or a screenshot of the map where I can find them.

Changelog
1.0
- First upload
1.1
- Removed dirtbeam_d.xbt to fix weird circles on some dirty things.
- Fixed some textures that had not been converted properly.
- Removed Xbox controller textures as they can't be seen in the pc version.
1.2
- Removed dials_d.xbt because the upscale did not maintain transparency properly.
- Resized HUD weapon images to 1x resolution to fix multiplayer scaling
1.3
- All textures without alpha transparency have been compressed using DXT1. This has significnatly decreased the overall size of the pack, meaning all vehicle and weapon textures can be included with more stability and faster load times.

- Singleplayer map icon resolution has been increased.
- World map textures have been swapped to a more painted look.
1.3.1
- Fixed the flamethrower weapon icon being too big (Singleplayer Mods version only).

- By using the 4GB patch every game texture can now be included! Credit to sihafo5472 for suggesting this.
Specifically, the following are now included: Npc clothing/faces, vegetation, terrain, maps and loading screens.
- Removed the map icons texture from the Singlepayer Mods version.
1.4.1

Is this the version that is compatible with the Redux mod?
Yes
thank you! it looks much better now! great for high resolution!
I just installed the texture pack over the redux mod. Yes,it does work. Kudos.
The mod crashes even with the patches applied unless I go to medium texture quality or disable mip0 loading
Make sure you did the 4gb patch properly. I've run this fine on a potato laptop but without the 4gb patch it is guaranteed to crash while loading.
Do I still need 'modernized' - mod now?
I don't like to use nexusmods!
