Your results may vary. This version of the mod will only work with FC4 game version 1.5Visit http://ultra.farcrymod.me to give feedback, ask questions, or troubleshootThis mod reduces texture quality on many objects throughout the world. You can see a sample here: http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/104123Please keep in mind that while playing the game the ugliness of the textures will be much less jarring and personally I feel like you get used to them pretty quick.This mod isn't meant to look pretty, just make the game playable smoothly for those who couldn't do so otherwise.If you have a lower-end graphics card I'd be happy if you could help me test this. If you have a graphics card that is at, slightly above, or slightly below the minimum requirements - this is for you!In extremely limited testing using otherwise the same graphical settings, I've achieved these results:One system went from ~35 to ~55 FPS One system went from 20~25 to 45~50One system went from ~35 to ~4Highly speculative, but cards such as NVIDIA GT 540 / GTX 450 / GT 630 / GT 740, ATI Radeon HD 5800/5700, Intel HD 4000/4500, and any similarly low-spec mobile versions (460M, 540M, 630M, etc) may run the game at playable FPS with this mod.Note: You still need a quad core CPU, 4GB RAM, and a 64bit OS. This mod should help with slower quad-cores (slightly) and slower GPU's (more so), but thats all. This will require a ~1.5GB download.I suggest you turn the following features OFF:AO (Ambient Occlusion)AA (Anti-Aliasing)FurTreesGodraysMotion BlurOnce the mod is running, feel free to turn these features on one-by-one to ensure they work properly. I strongly advise against the NVIDIA Enhanced Fur option (Fur: ON seems to work OK). I suggest running at LOW graphics preset and then changing Textures to Medium or High. Turn off motion blur!I would be very appreciative of any feedback you can give! Visit http://ultra.farcrymod.me to give feedback, ask questions, or troubleshoot.Please include your system specs (CPU, RAM, GPU+VRAM) your settings, as well as your before AND after FPS. If there are any textures that look *really* bad and jarring, I may be able to indiviually fix certain textures without affecting performance markedly.INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:You need to extract the .zip file and place the patch.dat and patch.fat files in your farcry4\data_win32\ folder.I would suggest making a backup of your original patch.dat/patch.fat files as well as any savegame. You can always re-download the original files, but making a local backup will make it easier/faster to revert to the original state if the mod doesn't work right. Don't be surprised if it crashes, it is the first version after all.Visit http://ultra.farcrymod.me to give feedback, ask questions, or troubleshoot
