Appears you need to have permanent online connection to play Far Cry 3
If the Far Cry 3 servers are down (as they are last time I checked), you will not be able to continue playing the game once you have gone to look at rucksack inventory in game.
Once you go back to game the game will freeze with the only option of exiting the game. |

It comes with the stupid (Console) warning "DO NOT TURN POWER OFF DURING GAME SAVING"...(as if PC users do that.....)
But is should come with "BETTER DO NOT UNPLUG THE INTERWEBS KID, OR YOU WILL HATE US"

Just taking a little a break from playing this game before I get back to it since the Far Cry 3 AU servers are up and running again.
Still haven't used many of the weapons available. Mainly using the M700 Predator Sniper rifle which only comes with the Pre Orders. |

Tip for maps.
You don't have to buy any it seems. Once you get the cell towers,the map will show on the mini-map screen instead of nothing. Last edited by natr0n; Dec 1, 2012 at 07:33 AM. |

far Cry 3 set my system to optimal settings and had been playing on optimal until now. Using ultra showed no impact on performance at the screen res I play at. I do have a problem with AA in game with the 12.8 drivers though, not that I need AA at my res. |

If You find yourself in a similar situation to what I described in my previous post , then Check out this video I found on uTube. It helped me.

This is looking like a cool game and from what I've seen you do have access to NPCs and weapons in the editor, but one thing that really bugs me is why the heck did they choose to cloak the NPCs in a shadowy aura?
It just looks so shoddy and I can't think of any reason for it. A game that has fairly detailed environment graphics, selectable FOV and choice of SSAO and HBAO shouldn't be using NPC effects that look like something out of a cell shaded game. I can't help but be reminded of The Taken in Alan Wake every time I see one of these NPCs with this weird effect surrounding them. The game lacks some polish in ways. I can put up with the subtle flicker of textures here and there, but this is clearly a design choice that makes no sense and just doesn't fit the rest of the graphics. |

Can anyone comment on my last post? Any of you with the PC game, do you know if there's a way to turn off this effect or edit it out in the game files?

I've only been stopping in here briefly lately due to catching up on a lot of work, so I don't have the time to search for pics right now. It's easy to see in any video I've seen of the game though. There's a dark shroud around NPCs. Has no one here really seen this? I can't imagine no one knows what I'm talking about, because it's quite easy to see, and looks horrible.
@natron, From what I've heard that file only has basic menu settings in it and nothing extensive. As for motion sickness, doesn't the PC version allow you to adjust FOV in the menu? Try cranking it up higher, like at least to 85. |

Looks like SSAO looks the best and gives the best frames.
Even though I've been reading HDAO looks better and is better optimized for ATI cards. http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Far-Cr...rks-1036726/2/ EDIT: I take it back. SSAO gave a very awkward black glow around characters under certain lighting. You don't get that with HDAO.
