If you're using windows, you can right click on the windows icon in the bottom right and select "system". Take a pic of "device specifications" in that window, and a screenshot of the game, upload them to an image sharing website (like imgur) and give us links to that.

That will take care of Virago's request.

I know it's too obvious. but:

Check your setting for screen resolution in the game - make sure it's set higher than 640X480.

Use Reshade and check off Ambient Lighting and Enhanced Bump-mapping:

EVERGREENs' Reshade for enhanced color and lighting:
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/FarCry2Crew/discussions/6/2269193447675162868

Also up the Contrast and Gamma settings and tone down the brightness slightly
to balance the image.

- Good Luck -

Very glad to help. Reshade made a huge difference in lighting, detail and visibility for me,
and I play at 4096 X 2160. - Can't possibly recommend it highly enough.

FOV actually helps quite a bit. The Default setting of 80 or so is just too narrow a view.

For anyone reading - FoxAheads' 'Multi-Fix' prevents game ending bugs that
often appear late (84%) into the game. Often there's no fix after the fact, and I've had
to delete all saves and restart from scratch twice now. - Hope to save some the same
aggravation.

Multi-Fix has other great features built in and sets FOV by default at launch.

You're not safe unless you always use Multi-Fix to launch the game.
Instructions for running in Steam are included in the article:

Use FoxAheads' Multi-Fixer for running on modern systems.

- Hope that all have a wonderful and trouble free experience -> !

He can also click on 'Help' at the top of this screen and select "System Information' and copy
the text and paste it to a post here. - Take a screenshot in the game - upload it and post the
link here.

No third party operations necessary 8 )
