Description
Fixes for bugs, developer oversights and also some small extra features. This version is compatible with the STEAM version of Far Cry 2.
Far Cry 2 - Patched
This mod fixes lots of bugs and developer oversights, as well as adding a couple of small features to improve gameplay.
There are seperate downloads for the Steam, GOG, Ubisoft Connect and Epic Games Store versions.
The download comes with all the fixes below and also a 4GB patched .exe file for improved game stability and load times.
You can also choose between the following options:
1) Save Anywhere and Limited Saving, if you want to have the PC or console experience.
2) Flashing Items or No Flashing Items, if you want some extra immersion.
You should always play using DirectX 9. This fixes lots of issues by itself.
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.

Interesting. So this is your Vanilla+ mod, but without gameplay changes?
Pretty much! This is bug fixes and small tweaks only, intended for those who want a pure or first time experience. I got all the bugs I'm aware of, but do you know of any others?
Is there no mod that fixes the 60+ fps/hz issue? I thought since its also made with the Havoc engine, fixes like in Skyrim would work too.
I.imgur.com
here is a fix in the game Skyrim to play on higher fps, maybe it works the same in far cry 2? I don't know where to put it tho
Maybe the GamerProfile.xml under\Documents\My Games\Far Cry 2\ ?
The is no fix as of yet unfortunately. There was one which you might see quoted elsewhere but it actual introduces other bugs like the player being damaged by certain animations.
I don't think that fix will work with FC2, although they both use Havoc there is no comparable section to paste that text. The differences in engine make it incompatible.
Does this have the "skip game intro" feature like Vanilla+? I hate how long that intro is, I want to get right into the action and not sit through a taxi ride.
Unfortunately not, and the saves for Vanilla+ are only compatible for this mod if you use the ones with all weapons unlocked.
There's no secret to making those saves, I just played through the intro a bunch of times. Maybe one day I'll do it for this mod too but not yet!
Thanks for making this. The only thing missing is the 2x weapon DMG from your other Far Cry 2 mods, so I used the Almost Complete Guide to modify the hit locations damage multipliers to be doubled (Ex. Bodyshots do 2x DMG, leg shots do 1x DMG, headshots do 12x DMG) and it makes the combat so much better.
Maybe I could have manually edited weapon DMG so that everyone (Player/Enemy/Buddy) does 2x DMG, but that's a lot of work and just editing the damage multipliers is adequate enough. I do not know if the damage multipliers for hit locations affect the player or buddies, but they sure do affect enemies.
Thanks for also making the modding guide for FC2. Breathes new life into the game by empowering the community to be able to mod the flaws this game had, like the bulletsponge combat.
That's awesome, I'm glad that you're enjoying this mod and that you've found the guide useful.
A quick way to make the enemies also more damaging is to reduce player health, which is what I did in Realism+. For me I moved the values down one level, so Normal had the health of Hardcore and so on.
My method is probably to reduce player health by 0.5x to compensate for the 2x DMG to all body parts. I'm not sure if this would make Infamous difficulty impossible, though.
If there are any segments where the player taking damage is mandatory, then the player would have too little health to survive those segments. For example, I once tried to mod Spec Ops: The Line so that everyone would have 0.5x HP. This made a segment where the player had to outrun a Little Bird helicopter outright impossible on the hardest difficulty known as FUBAR Difficulty, because the player kept taking mandatory, scripted damage during the sequence and died every time due to having too little health.
EDIT: Went ahead and used the guide to reduce the player's overall max health AND each health bar by 2x. Player still feels a bit spongy in the early game on Infamous difficulty while enemies actually die in a 3-round burst to the chest. Do I have to start a new game for my mod changes to player health to take effect?
any retail version?
For retail the Steam files should be fine.
It's possible to fix the HUD being stretched at proportions like 16:9 and 15:9?
I don't have an ultrawide monitor so don't know anything about stretched huds with something like. The HUD doesn't seem stretched at all with 16:9 though
It is stretched at those proportions: Wsgf.org
Encountered a bug, my second buddy can't be made "rescue ready" again. He is simply not appearing in any safehouse or Mike's bar no matter how much I sleep. Some guy on FC2 discord said it is the issue of the script in this mod
Any way to fix that? File editing?
