Far Cry 2- Real Africa Mod. Hwo to install it?

[letting it crust :3]

Yes, I've read the read me and I replaced the file. I just don't know if it works or not. Could someone who has time send me a friend request so you can DM me help? Have been doing stuff with this game for the last day, and have gotten nowhere. Thanks for your help!

I think I did that, but how do I know if it worked?

I'm at nightime in-game I think
So I'm not sure if it worked or not. How can I tell?

Take your time.. I'm interested in seeing this.

Too bad - I've been curious about those mods - have a tendency to avoid - hate to
mess with a good thing.

Man ! - Glad I never tried it. Had enough trouble figuring out how to get my monitor
settings right. Once I toned down the gamma and contrast and upped the colour
values slightly it popped into clarity. - No more desert eye-burn. <8 )

Yeh this whole SweetFX thing is a bit screwy. The readme and forums all tell me the same thing, and the game works- but not SweetFX.

All of those mods are way out of date and obsolete.

Download reshade, point it at your farcry.exe and make your own custom shaders in seconds. Curves, levels, clarity are really all you need.

Ok, if you say so. You say “point it at my farcry.exe?
What does that mean?
Are you talking about what comes up when you go into properties for Far Cry 2 and click “browse local files” because that brings up 2 folders. bin (I’ll refer to it as bin 2, as there is another bin in your steamapps folder) and there’s also Win32. Which folder should I use? Or am I off completely?

Hunter ! - This for real? Doesn't risk anything of functionality? Can be easily undone?
I've been working in grx for a long time and these are exactly the four most useful tools.

I know that sometimes I can be a bit slow on the upswing - always late for the party but
you've uttered the magic words that have pressed all the right buttons. - Even if I don't
end up using it - it's the shiny new toy I'd love to play with.

Have a time saving hot link handy?

- THANK you! - For the feed - 8 D

No loss in functionality. Some settings can be more taxing than others on your hardware...

My in game screen shot didn't include the reshade menu, but as soon as you boot the game you will be greeted by a brief tutorial. Just check the box of what you want to tweak, and play with the numbers until you like what you see.

Good luck. Happy to help if there's any info you need.

Cool! Which file do I throw the reshade into? Is it the Win32? Or bin?

You just point it to your farcry2.exe, it takes care of the rest. Check the imgur gallery.

Does the shortcut work? I only appear to have that.

EDIT: nevermind, I found out how to do it. How would I edit the settings after wards? (I want to turn Splitscreen on at first in order to see what looks good.)
