Yay, thank you for this. I like the standard FC graphics. I had some patch from before, 1 guy posted link in comments and I saved it to my HDD lol because I thought it's a last link. It was 1.504 :D
Anyway thanks for this :) Hope you keep working and ironing things out.
So, let`s make this clear - the last official patch is 1.4 ( right now I downloading this version ).
And here is patch 1.505 ( actually updated just a day ago ). I know about unofficial 1.41, 1.42 patches. Two years ago I played FC with 1.42 patch. Is 1.505 are evolution of 1.42 ?
And finally I found this 1.6 patch here Farcrypatch16.de
According to readme: "This patch combines the best of all previous released versions: 1.33, 1.4, XT4 and FCAM."
So, what patch should I install for perfect single playing ?
"iLLU: Because database admin access and 1.6 sql coding parameters (that is the main problem) have never been in my hands, I fear that at the moment there is no chance to get 1.6 back alive."
Also 1.6 is only for multiplayer and breaks things like singleplayer, mods, etc. 1.5 does not.
1.5 keep the original FarCry as ORIGINAL only to fix and improve. Choice is yours as to which you want to use :)
Yes they (1.6) took stuff from FCAM and put it in their version..
There is a major bug in this patch. Game only see checkpoint maded at level start, all next checkpoints are in savegames folder, but not on the list in load menu (quicksaves works ok though). Checkpoints not shown in game are also not listed in sav_base.ini in levels folder. It is a LITTLE annoying issue. If someone know some workaroud other than doing quicksaves i would be glad.
I can confirm this bug too, by the way, ennemies can prone in this version, I always hated that ^^ feels unrealistic how they instantly switch to prone, please remove this from 1.5, only leave it in FCAM
This patch messed some of the textures for me ... the mountains on that stage where you use the hang glider for the first time are missing and written "replace me"
I dont know details of the instalation process , but BEFORE the patch i was using FCAM , then i installed the patch ... i don't know if maybe that is a overwrite/bad overwrite... issue... But if nobody else experimented this, than it must be my error. Anyway thanks for the interest
This patch deleted all my checkpoints. And once I started the game, I found that it gave FarCry Aim-Down-Sights, which is a feature I absolutely do not want. All I want are the bug fixes, like AI shooting through tents, getting caught on geometry, and low detail foliage.
Here is a workaround for everyone who got issues with the autosave feature: navigate to your FarCry installation folder \FCData and open "ZZZScripts150.pak". Go to Scripts\MenuScreens and delete "Campaign.lua" as well as Scripts\MenuScreens\Ingame "InGameSingle.lua". The only drawback seems to be, that the quicksave-option is not available anymore within the menu. So you'll have to decide which of both you prefer.
I'm still having the movement issues in the multiplayer portion of the game. As soon as I create a game, and move my character in game just a single step or more with the forward key, and release that key, the character continues to walk at a snails pace forward instead of just standing still!
I think this could be a common bug on modern PCs, it happens on both my PCs with Windows 10 64 bit (both have high specs aka gaming PCs).
Is there any fix to this, or maybe a console command I would need to type in to get rid of this issue?
This patch did sadly not fix this issue, so I guess I'm out of luck.
The cheats don't work for this mod. Something in the devmode.lua is not activating them. If I copy of the devmod.lua from original game, I have my cheats back. Also using sniper rifle with zoom is unusable with this mod, shooting the weapon kicks so much it completely moves the camera off the target. Tried to give this mod a chance but for those reasons alone, I uninstalled it
Patch notes are important as this seems to break more than it fixes. First level; the terrain textures turn to "replace me" and swimming across to the base camp crashes the game. The addition of iron sights doesn't even work either. I don't recommend this for stability reasons.
Guys, I have Russian localization and after installing this patch the text of the main menu of the game and settings has changed to English, how can I fix this? i just can delete this patch... but i dont wanna do this
Its good to see you back! I'm looking forward for FCAM 2.0 Also Merry Christmas and Happy new year.
Thank you! And Merry Christmas and Happy new year to you too!

This is a quote from the 1.6 site..
"iLLU: Because database admin access and 1.6 sql coding parameters (that is the main problem) have never been in my hands, I fear that at the moment there is no chance to get 1.6 back alive."

1.5 is MUCH more extensive than 1.41 and 1.42.

Garcy, thanks for reply, I will install your patch. If I want to stay maximum close to original FC, I need only patch 1.505, without FCAM ?
Correct :)

I can confirm this bug.
A workaround might be to create a script that adds all saves to sav_base.ini.

What file directory do I put this mod in? (Steam)
great work!
Version.txt still says 1.504. It appears that FC.exe references this file for something (hopefully nothing important).

Are you using FCAM with graphics or just a patch with no graphics?

I have fixed this issue in the past by installing the 32bit ECU patch over the top of a faullty x64 ECU game!
No changelog 1.4 -> this?
Give the changelog here. I would like to see it before downloading this.
This patch deleted all my checkpoints. And once I started the game, I found that it gave FarCry Aim-Down-Sights, which is a feature I absolutely do not want. All I want are the bug fixes, like AI shooting through tents, getting caught on geometry, and low detail foliage.
ADS can be removed in the game's options :) as well as the crosshair while not zooming (which is pretty cool)
Mod dead ? Author was not been here for the long time ...
Is it compatible with 64-bit patch ?
Here is a workaround for everyone who got issues with the autosave feature: navigate to your FarCry installation folder \FCData and open "ZZZScripts150.pak".

Hey, I have tha too, but I think it could be a desyinc issue rather than in-game bug.
ok this added a cpl of loadscreens i had to click thru and it removed my mouse pointer.... is that suppose to happen??
This seems to crash my game after installing it on the gog version.
Is it still possible to adjust the FOV with either this or FCAM?
It's playable, but it's still kind of narrow for my preference.
Does this patch tamper with enemy armor? Cause since i patched I can't kill a grunt without a headshot, kind of a game breaking thing >:(
The cheats don't work for this mod. Something in the devmode.lua is not activating them. If I copy of the devmod.lua from original game, I have my cheats back.

is there a way to use the widescreen fix with this?
Does not work with Win10. Freezes up at game menu.

Is it so bad? I would like to see screenshots of these bugs.
