News Summary: version 1.1 released!! Added download and replaced the screenshots with 3 new ones from v1.1. The videos are still v1.0 footage. Changes include brightened shadows, darkened desert, reduced bloom and more visible and vibrant sky. Background: I wanted to create the perfect graphical enhancement for Far Cry 2 - one where the colours are bright and realistic, not bland and brown.

One of the issues I encountered is the game's vast array of settings from bright desert to dark, shadowy lush jungle. Using CeeJay (of guru3D.com)'s SweetFX Shader Suite package I was able to integrate SMAA anti-aliasing, custom HDR, Bloom, shadow gamma adjustments and a whole lot of other technologies to change the look of the game.

I have spent hours upon hours customizing the configuration file in SweetFX to best suit Far Cry 2. I think what I have arrived at is truly excellent and makes the game look amazing.

Installation: 1) Copy all contents of this folder to the /bin directory in your Far Cry 2 installation folder. For Steam users this can be found in C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/far cry 2 2) I highly recommend you also copy config.txt into My Documents/My Games/Far Cry 2 directory and add the following line to your Far Cry 2 launch parameters without quotations '-exec config.txt'. This will turn off in-game bloom, hdr and other tweaks that will conflict with the mod. To add launch parameters for Steam users, right click on Far Cry 2 in your games list, click Properties, then click Set Launch Options and type '-exec config.txt' without quotations. For non-Steam users right click on FarCry2.exe in your Far Cry 2/bin folder and click Creat Shortcut. Right click the shortcut and under the shortcut tab in the Target field add '-exec config.txt' without quotations at the end of the line. It should read something like./far cry 2/bin/FarCry2.exe' -exec config.txt 3) I also recommend customizing your in-game settings as below; - Leave Brightness, Gamma and Contrast neutral - All graphical settings should be maxed except Shadows, Shader and Geometry.

I have these one notch down from max to improve FPS performance. - Widescreen tick box enabled for modern resolutions - The mod will run automatically when you launch the exe/shortcut or from Steam. Troubleshooting: - Press SCROLL LOCK on your keyboard to disable/enable the mod in-game. If there is no change then the mod probably isn't running. - Make sure all overlay software is disabled.

Overlay software includes FRAPS or other software that displays or records FPS, or in-game video and screenshots. - Make sure you have DirectX 10 enabled in the game settings before installing. The mod is reported to work in DirectX 9 but, if your graphics card can handle DirectX 10 it is highly recommended.

- If you are getting the Far Cry 2 splash screen but the game doesn't appear to be launching open your nVidia/AMD control panel settings and restore everything to default. Far Cry 2 doesn't like the control panel trying to force its settings on the game.

- It goes without saying but make sure you have the latest patch from Ubisoft installed if you are using a non-Steam version. - If you are running the non-Steam version, try launching FarCry2.exe directly with administrator rights rather than any shortcut to the exe. This has fixed launch issues in some circumstances. - If you are experiencing low FPS there may be a conflict between your onboard GPU and your graphics card.

Try forcing your graphics card on in your nVidia/AMD control panel. Alternatively, deleting d3d9.dll may fix the problem (but only if you are running DIrectX 10 version of the game). Editing: - You can further modify the config by editing SweetFX_settings.txt in your Far Cry 2/bin folder. If you want to alt-tab and do this in-game you may have to press PAUSE BREAK to reload the changes once you save the txt file - You can take in-game sceenshots using the PRINT SCREEN button which is saved under the Far Cry 2/bin folder as a bitmap image. Recommendations and Other Tips: - For modern high dpi mice you may need to edit GamerProfile.xml under My Documents/my games/Far Cry 2.

The 'GameProfile Sensitivity' field is the one you want to change. For 3500dpi mice I use 0.15. Passport scanning machine. Note that if you subsequently open your settings game you will need to edit this file again as the game will overwrite your changes. - If you are getting random crashes after long gaming sessions this is likely to do with the Memory Leak issue in DirectX10.
