-HUGE FPS BOOST!- Disable depth of field (on background/when not aiming), and enhance near objects/forest Anti Aliasing.
- This stabilize the frame rate fluctuation, fix the low-res textures on the background and can give a huge FPS boost in open view areas, for example, on the top of a tower.
Disable HDR
- Disable this to improve fps.
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).
Disable motion blur
- Also helps to reduce input lag.

- Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) support status is unknown.
Issues unresolved
Game stuck on skill tree
- Game stuck on the first time you enter the skill tree. The game will not exit from the skill tree no matter what key is pressed.
Crash after first cutscene and random crashing
- Crashes can randomly happen in all parts of the game.[1]
- Crash are more frequent after first -unskippable- cutscene.[2]
Textures and artifacting
Artifact blocks appear on screen.
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. Also going offline in Uplay may rectify the issue.)
Crash when installed in a Windows 8 Storage Space
- The Game will refuse to run when installed on a drive which is managed by a Windows 8/8.1 Storage Space. Reinstalling on the C:\ drive will fix this issue.
Issues fixed
Change UI language
- For some reason Far Cry 3 will sometimes have a (poorly) translated interface.
Microstutter
Multi-GPU crash
- If your game freezes and crashes when entering a saved game, you must disable the Post FX option.
Game stuck on splash screen
- Game splash screen pops up on desktop and freezes, doing nothing until the process is ended.
Parachute will not open
Game reports wrong button for opening parachute when jumping with wing-suit. There seems to be link between crouch binding and change vehicle seat binding. Make sure that these actions are bound to same key.[3]
Multiplayer weapons will not level up
- Weapons earn EXP and level up during matches, but do no retain EXP post-game; weapons stay at level 1 indefinitely.
Installation Issues
When using a C:\ drive with limited space such as an SSD, the game will not install onto a secondary drive even if you have sufficient free space.
First loading screen stalls or takes excessive amounts of time
