Far Cry 2 - Patched (Epic Games Store) file

Full list of changes

Graphics

• Capped the framerate to 60 - Fixes bouncing npcs and various other bugs.
• Removed the weird line close to the player where high quality shadows become low quality.
• Removed rim lighting that made the player blue at night.
• Slightly improved draw distance and LOD when using 'Geometry - Ultra High' and 'Terrain - Ultra High'.
• My personal 'Colourful Far Cry 2' reshade configuration. This is Far Cry 2 with vibrant colours, very simple with no extra post-processing. You can easily customise the saturation of the colour with included instructions.

Weapons

• Renamed the 'Eagle .50' to the 'Desert Eagle' and the 'Homeland 37' to the 'Ithaca 37'. Removed unnecessary hyphens from others.
• 'Creeping' has been added to the machete so you can walk at half speed by holding the iron sight button. This facilitates stealth when using mouse and keyboard.
• DLC weapons have been added to the ammo upgrades.
• DLC weapons' reliability have been tweaked to match the upgraded vanilla weapons.
• Explosive crossbow bolts now fire in an arc.
• The sawed-off shotgun now uses shotgun ammo.
• The sawed-off shotgun now fires 14 pellets in one shot, as it fires two shells at once.
• Fixed the MAC-10 being silent.

Vehicles

• Windshield bullet holes are now permanent.
• DLC vehicles now come in a variety of colours.
• Fixed the missing Big Truck engine sound.
• Fixed the hang glider being pushed into doing loops when shot.
• Fixed the hang glider bouncing on water.
• Fixed the being able to see the edges of the player's arms when using hang gliders.
• Improved a slight misalignment of the vehicle GPS.

Gameplay

• Less annoying outposts and improved world persistence - With his permission I have included Scubrah's amazing newscript. This means that areas the player has visited are maintained in memory, up to a reasonable distance. This comes with a modest performance impact.
• Improved stealth - reduced enemy perception pre-combat by 20%.
• Fixed assassination targets having the same vision as snipers.
• Reduced the chance for enemies to chase the player when driving through outposts from 100% to 50%.
• Reduced fall damage.
• Reduced monocular sensitivity.
• Explosive barrels now start fires.
• Specops enemies now have a truly unique appearance suitable to their role.
• Removed a sniper that often gets stuck inside a rock in map 2, at the ammunition outpost between the Crash Site and Sepoko.

General

• Restored the infamous difficulty critical healing animations.
• Removed the flashing save reminder from safehouse map icons.
• Removed mouse speed clamping.
• Fixed the Jackal tape bug where the 10th tape repeats and you can't hear the remaining ones.
• Improved the formatting of the character select screen (English only).

DLC - Available without authentication with Ubisoft

• Predecessor tapes.
• Homemade and primitive machetes.
