Latest update

Version 1.10.0.72
https://github.com/FoxAhead/Far-Cry-2-Multi-Fixer/releases/tag/v1.10

Changes:

Added option for setting process affinity. Limits the use of cores by the game process. Can help run the game on modern fast systems with lots of cores.

Xavier,
yes both Steam and GOG versions are supported. Game version must be v1.03.
The FOV option is implemented but needs some testing and discussion. Because there are several approaches for changing FOV in the game. The first method was with the WideScreenFixer which changes global FOV just before output of resulting picture adding some delta. So when you aim (ironsight) then ironsight FOV changes as well. This results in some wired looking of sniper scopes. The second method was implemented by Hunter who changed fFOV value just for camera in the resource files. Leaving ironsights FOV intact. My program do just the same but on the program level. In my opinion this method gives the best result. But later I saw some complaints in Hunter's thread about this approach and he made some special version tweaking different weapon's FOV.

Yes, that is idea - not changing game files but change process memory. For one-click-start you can create shortcut from Launcher (click "Create shortcut")

That is sad. I need some more information for reproducing this error.
What Windows version do you have (exact number - press Win-R, type 'winver').
May be some antivirus is blocking activity of Multi Fixer? This utility uses in-memory patching technique which can be considered as malware.

So you say that there is message "dll not loaded" but game launches??? That is very strange. I changed some logic and added more logging. Could you try new 1.1 version and copy-paste all text from the launcher after clicking Play button.
What FOV are you setting?

Update

New version 1.2.0.26
https://github.com/FoxAhead/Far-Cry-2-Multi-Fixer/releases/tag/v1.2

Changes:

Now the in-vehicle FOV value is also changes and is equal FOV + 15.

There is still a glitch, when after loading some vehicles "save" the old FOV value. But if you travel further, new vehicles will spawn with a corrected FOV-value.

Cool!

Glad to hear the Vehicle FOV is worked out.

Update

New version 1.3.0.42
https://github.com/FoxAhead/Far-Cry-2-Multi-Fixer/releases/tag/v1.3

Changes:

Added new command line parameter -exec into options.

This parameter runs a console command 'batchfile'. This text file can contain list of console commands and will autorun at game start.

Update

New version 1.4.0.43
https://github.com/FoxAhead/Far-Cry-2-Multi-Fixer/releases/tag/v1.4

Changes:

Added two game console commands (press ~ to open cosole):
devmodeon - turn dev mode on
devmodeoff - turn dev mode off
Both commands are not official so it will always say "Unknown command: ...". But they do have effect.
These allows to enable/disable lots of other console commands: cheats, debugs, domino (script engine) commands not accessible in usual way. Feel free to experiment with Dunia engine at your own risk.

[BigTinz]

Really enjoyed messing with the time scale. It's a damn shame you can't properly manipulate weather, though. No way to force rain or storms, that I can tell.

Slightly changing the camera offset Y alleviates the arm clipping when using the MP5 with an increased FOV! I also found it very interesting that there are THREE different ways that this version of Dunia can calculate FOV. 0, 1, 2 are all different.

Great work as usual!

[FoxAhead]

FOV is float value. So you can try something like 1.46.
