Got a reply from Ricco at Ubisoft who was far more diplomatic than Catherine above. Will post full conversation later. (My email is not on my gaming computer.)

In short, "punishment" because of using the "hack" is done by a machine with no human intervention, so we are at risk when we start trying to play multi-player.

Our problem has been forwarded to the devs but "they can't accpet suggestions from outside the company" on how to fix the game.

Whatever that means, I did not feel insulted by the reply, just that they were not in a position to help, because we are in the minority and not a priority.

Probably a stupid question, but is it still necessary to play in offline mode with this? Thanks

@SubSonix

If u want to use a modified version of the "FC_m64.dll", in this case for the fov correction and the blackbars, u have to deal with EasyAntiCheat service, so u need to disable that in some way. So its on ur own risk if u do that, maybe its a good decision then, to play the game as most "offline" as possible.

I thought your version did disable EAC?

It does and works online/offline.

Thanks Zens, that looks promising. Anyone risked it with online play?


In the meantime: Here was my reply from Ubisoft:

"Hello KRYGORIAN,

Thank you for reaching Ubisoft Customer Support.

My name is Ricco and I will be assisting you with your case.

I understand that you have some feedback to offer regarding the issue that you had with your 3 screen configuration to play Far Cry 5. But I must advise you the the anti-cheat system may detect this alteration that you have done in your system, and you may be penalised for it.

I hope that answers your questions. Please feel free to contact me if you need any further information.

Kind Regards,

So guys and girls, remember: NO CREATIVE IDEAS TO UBISOFT. They might get into trouble for LEGAL REASONS.

Let us hope that "multi-monitor support" is not a creative idea, or we are doomed.

After unlocking the fov the game is playable but the cutscenes and the binocular view are still out of proportion, any possibile solution to this problem? Thanks

I ran into an odd problem running FC_Unlock_FOV_v4 -- With the mod installed, turning my character results in a huge delay. After restoring the original files, it goes back to normal and I can turn my character without any hiccup. Pretty weird.

Well i have to correct me, campaign works (coop i didnt tested), for the multiplayer lobby (exmp. TDM) u just will not get connected to other players.

Don`t see a big risk getting banned but sometimes shit just happend.

Is someone having problem with the cutscenes and the view from the binoculars? The image is terribly out of proportion.

@Meme - you are doing something wrong. Besides the "black bars" on the outer screens, the binoculars work fine.
Besides, they are binoculars. That is how they work. You can't see out the sides!

I played 4 games of multi-player last night. WOW so much of fun. Kinda a mixture of Counterstrike meets Battlefield 2 but with a decent respawn time.

Enjoyed it immensely and didn't get banned.
(Of course I was always either worst or second worst in my team, so nobody would have accused me of cheating.
I blame the lag. I am in Africa and the servers are... elsewhere, apparently.)

So UbiSoft doesn't want any creative Ideas from outside their Bubble. Gotta Love It.......

Hey zens. I appreciate your efforts. Could you please upload this file to a non-sketchy website? The website you linked waits about 5 seconds, then attempts to redirect you to another website that exhibits malware-type behavior. I use Eset Smart Security and it just flat out banned the website and identified several files in the redirect website that were malware (such as the favicon).

To be clear, the file you uploaded is not what is being flagged for malware, or even the website anonfile.com itself, but the website it redirects to.

EDIT: I was able to get past the page redirects and download the file. I scanned it with my AV and it came up clean. I used the file in game and now my game's FOV is fixed without messing with the anticheat dll. Thanks!

I have applied all the uploaded fixes, is the main menu and cutscenes supposed to be 16:9? because I don't see any changes in this regard

Thanks lot! Works perfect <3

I tried the game, FOV is totally fine when using a single 21:9 screen. But the cutscenes are in 16:9, is there an easy way to fix those without having to lose the whole online part of the game? I am not sure the answer is in this thread.

Hex edit Cuscene Aspect ratio: Go to ...\Far Cry 5\bin\FC_m64.dll
Go to OFFSET 3F867A0 look for 00 00 10 41 and change it to 00 00 40 40.
Before:

After:


and zens anticheat fix:

Search: "40 55 53 56 57 41 56 48 8D AC 24 B0 FD FF FF" and change it to "B0 01 C3 56 57 41 56 48 8D AC 24 B0 FD FF FF"

Done this and fixes the aspect but now I'm getting very odd loading issues, LOD gets completely broken a lot of the time and suddenly stalls and loads in, also completely broken the wing suit challenges, get half way and the map and checkpoints refuse to load.

FC5 fov unlock was working perfectly, I'm nearly finished with the game... and Ubi updated to 1.05 and now its broken again.

Amazing work on the previous fix, worked absolutely fine for me playing ubi/offline. Tried the old fix on the new .dll and they've changed something apparently because the game won't launch after patching without restoring the previous .dll and having FOV locked at 60 again....

When will these companies learn.

So the fov hex fix does work wonderful, thanks!

The aspect ratio hex fix for cut scenes does not, nor does the menu change size (maybe there is no fix for that). I have 5 screens in a 2-way-SLI configuration, but only the three screens on the main GPU shows the cut scenes. I've seen problems with playback of videos between GPU's before, both Google Chrome and Firefox seem to suffer from it since a couple of releases back (however Microsoft Edge seem to handle it). However when enabling subtitles it seems that some of them are rendered below and outside of the display areas, sugesting that the video is croped.

Anyone else here with a multi-gpu and 3+ screen setup that can share their experiece with these patches?

Excellent, thank you Jack. Any chance the fix the water clipping issue? Don't know if someone noticed, but the water keeps disappearing when the FoV is somewhat high.

Hi guys. Does this work on farcry 5 v1.06 as I can't get it to work since the update. Excellent work you do jack. Any chance of an update for v1.06. Thanks

Hey everyone, I just wanted to post that using jackfuste's fix I have been playing coop with GF with no ban or problems!

hello again! i'd hate to be 'that guy' to ask again, but could you possibly get an updated fov fix for us? i didn't play for a month or so and i come back and found there's been two or so patches again. hugely appreciated either way! (would be nice if ubisoft would just allow us to adjust this setting without having to patch anything) thank you

I still would like to drop something in your steam wallet Jackfuste. You have saved so many games for me, it's unreal. What's your steam ID

Hi czarman!

I tried to update the HEX for the cutscene aspect ratio fix per your instructions using HxD ( OFFSET 3F867A0 look for 00 00 10 41 and change it to 00 00 40 40) but I'm not able to find OFFSET 3F867A0 anywhere; there are multiple instances of 00 00 10 41 to change in the FC_m64.dll file, but no corresponding OFFSET 3F867A0. Is the column highlighted in red where I'm supposed to find the string 3F867A0?



Thanks!

Yes but if the Game got updated the Offsets Number change

It should be close by the Hex String 39 8E E3 3F see the screenshot.


But i never really played this Game and i remember that someone said that this hex change created also some other problems....

_________________
CZARMAN aka 彼得爸爸

Ah gotcha, thank you so much czarman! I’ll try the hex change and see if I have any luck getting around the other problems!

Hi Jackfuste! Might there happen to be an updated version of your FC5_Unlock_FOV file to unlock the aspect ratio cutscenes to 21:9 for the latest game update? Thank you so much in advance!!

czarman - could you spend some time to fix the latest version (I can upload the FC_m64.dll file)? PLZ

v1.011 STEAM/UPLAY Legit

v1.011 CODEX


make sure FC_m64.dll doesn't applied to "read-only" before patch
or you can manual fix , Here how to

• Open Program HxD > Click File and Open FC_m64.dll
  
• Ctrl+F > Click "Hex Values" > Click Search Direction "All" > Write 04 F3 0F 5E CA 8B 7E 78
  
• Replace Value With 04 0F 1F 40 00 8B 7E 78
• Save and play

This fix did not work for me

did you tried disable EAC first http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.ph ... 01#p172001

On 21:9 3440x1440 v1.011 (I did not touch the EAC) works great.

BTW: Thank you susahamat

They have updated Far Cry 5 again. Mine says version 1.013 now. And of course the fov is fixed at 60 again. Is there a fix for this? Or perhaps a way to get the game back to 1.011?
Thanks!

I seemed to have fixed my own issue.
I used a hex editor to alter the dll file as per the instructions.
The one line of code that I could not find was this one.
00 00 B8 78 00 00 00 C3 => 00 00 B8 60 01 00 00 C3 (unlock fov in-game)
I ignored the first four zeros and searched again.
That did the trick.
Hope this helps some people.

Hey Jackfuste, awesome work on these all fixes, but could you pls give me/us the fix for the fov slider in the latest version of Far Cry 5 for surround gameplay?
