Textures and artifacting

Issues fixed

Disable HUD

The only way to disable the HUD is by editing a .dll file with a Hex Editor program. You can disable the HUD within the game as of patch 1.04.
Instructions

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).
Instructions

Disable depth of field

Instructions

Change UI language

For some reason Far Cry 3 will sometimes have a (poorly) translated interface.
Instructions

Clicking "Story" on main menu does nothing

Story button as well as others make a noise when clicked but do not proceed to the next menu.
This issue is usually caused by FC3.dll and FC3_d3d11.dll not being compatible with reloaded uplay_r1_loader.dll and ubiorbitapi_r2_loader.dll. Issue can be fixed easily by editing the hex values of the FC3.dll and FC3_d3d11.dll
