[quote]well could you please try my modded fix and see if that works? even if not it should not crash the game but might display an error in the "Fix" status filed if the memory patch location is not recognized, i.e. diff. version of executable.
registered to say thanks and to offer some advice for folks having problems with the fixes.
nightraven's fix worked off the bat but the vert fov was not modified on my rig resulting in image squashing if i was trying to see more horizontal.
racer_s's fix did not work for me until i changed the DEP settings on my pc to disable protection on farcry.exe and the fc2FOV3.exe executables.
Once this was done i was able to modify the horizontal and vertical fov as i wished.
to disable dep for these exe's goto my computer's rpoperties , then advanced system settings, then the advanced tab, then settings on the performance section, then data execution prevention tab, then change the dep options to the bottom one and select the executables using the add dialogue.
Restart your pc and profit.

Thank you numptyboy, disabling DEP for FC2 has allowed me to use racers FOV. I can now play in widescreen its a miracle...stinkin vistas security features!

To confirm that disabling DEP for Far Cry 2 lets me use racers FOV.
I've always wondered, how do you guys make these FOV/UI fixes? Do you just disassemble the EXE and search for the 'fov' string or something like that? Seems pretty hard to me.
hey... how do i get this going @ 1366x768... my little brother plays it at my mums house on their 50" plasma and it just looks garbage upscaled from 720p.. whereas crysis looks flawless @ 1366x768 :cry:
Can we please have a motion blur fix? The blurring on this game kills my eyes. I can't run at all unless I feel like torturing myself.
I want to be able to play this game without getting a massive headache!
Lowering the "Post" effects in display options should lessen it.. but it'll also lower/disable other effects such as heat distortion and maybew some smoke effects. Try it and see.
Personally i like the bur effects. It's nice when using ironsights and I don't find it a bother when stamina is low.. those are the only times i ever see it. (Running DX9, it may make a difference for blur)
Once again, Ubi cheesed out by not having a plethora of console commands for us.
Hello.... Does this hack (v.3) work with Vista 64bit... Because on my PC no... When i dont use hack... screen (in the game) looks good but it not work in full screen..but only with black strip up and down on the screen... When i use Hack (1.31 --- 1.253 16:10) and turn it on... (*) Windows is smaller ... (black strips are bigger) I don't know why..because in win XP works Perfect (but there ist also in default on full screen) So how can it work with Vista 64b..Please ( i have Geforce x280) Thanks
This utility works much better than version 1. One enhancement I'd like to mention would be to have the utility automatically apply the changes and exit once it detects the Far Cry 2 window. That would be a nice option for people who know what settings they want to play with and no longer need the utility process running in the background. I created a Windows vbs script that automatically starts this utility, starts FC2, and kills the utility process after 30 seconds when I know FC2 will be running.
