Thanks! Awesome work, just a few questions

Does it have to be running in the background?

Do I have to set it before each play session?


I've used his fixes for plenty of other games and this works the same way, you run the little executable and it gives you some extra commands while in-game to adjust the fields. Its yah gotta be running in the background but it will remember the settings you last had.

One further hurdle for me I've realized: Each time I load the game it uses all three screens but only displays on my far left until I toggle my resolution to another and then back to my favoured. Anyone else have this happening or is it just something I may have accidentally done in the playerprofile.whatever file in the far cry folder of 'my games' perhaps?

Long time lurker, Decided to register so I could thank you for this fix.

This site has a wealth of information that I've used for years, I imagine it's taken a lot of hard work to get it out there to the public. Thanks!

thanks for the fix!

Can we get a motion blur fix? On ubisoft forums people were complaining about how their eyes hurt from the widescreen cropping, but i think its 95% from the motion blur which is unbearable in this game. Is there a way of fixing this?

Hi folks,

I also registered to thank for the fix! :D
I do have a question though: I have noticed that towards the corners of the screen image gets stretched and shapes get, well, botched. For instance, the moon is perfectly round in the middle of the screen but when it enters a screencorner area, it turns into an ellipse. Do you get this too or am I doing something wrong? My monitor's native resolution is 1440:900 and I have set the hack values as advised: x1.31, y1:253.
What do you reckon?
