Mods recommended for a first time player?

[Qdude]

I want to play this game but I've read things saying it's buggy, especially when your FPS is above 60. Any mods to fix that, and any other mods that are good but don't ruin the experience for a first timer?

Merging Mods and Crash on DX10

Hey, I've tried to use the True Misery mod but it always crashes my game if i play on DX10 (I'm aware the game is more stable on 9 but the performance loss is not tolerable) so I wanted to use Vanilla+ with the some of the changes included in True Misery. the thing is that the game still crashes on DX10, but when I use vanilla+ the game works fine. Is there a file or a line that causes the modded game to be this unstable on DX10?

I pretty much unpacked the content from True Misery, grabbed the xml files i wanted and replaced them when i unpacked vanilla+, before packing everything in one patch file

I'm not sure someone can help you out here. I think these questions can be better addressed by the author.

Do not use DX10 in this game. DX9 is far more stable, and has better grass effects.

I'd straight up disable DX10 in my mod if I knew it wouldn't have some weird side effect.

1) use dx9, 10 creates issues and crashes even on vanilla.

2) never tried True Misery, maybe that mod is unstable itself?

3) if you merge mods, the chances of crashes and issues increases, you´ll have to double check and make sure there aren´t any conflicts between the mods.

True Misery is based on Infamous Fusion, so it shouldn't be any less stable than that. I did play with it a bit and I couldn't spot anything that could possibly make the game unstable.

Bump.

Mod is now released. Replace (dot) with . to download, of course.

Could someone please mirror to another host? VPN doesn't help me in this case because 1fichier has a cooldown timer. Thank you.

Okay, like I said I never tried that mod but just wanted to say that this game is rather complex, sometimes it may seem stable for a few hours and then all of a sudden you got problems .. maybe in the second map after lots of hours..
at least a full playthrough should be done before releasing, I know most good modders care to do that but not everyone, just saying..

another thing I forgot for the OP, when merging mods it is better to start a new game because old savefiles prior to the new modified content may create further issues and conflicts.

I haven't had any issues with using existing saves, EXCEPT if I edit any of the map sectors. I did that one time and the game would soft lock if I entered that sector. In that case you have to start a new game, not sure why that happens. But everything else is just editing values. The funny thing with that is, if you edit vehicle stats or weapon stats and use an exisiting save with that gun or car, it will keep the old stats until you switch cars or weapons.

Mods recommended

I used to play Far Cry 2 a lot on Xbox but this is my first time playing on PC. I was wondering if I already like the game as it was built and still need to beat it, would you recommend just multi fix?

The mods I’m considering are Redux or Tom’s Vanilla+ or Realism+

Tom’s seems to be the most modern and updated but I’ve heard good things about redux being the best.

[ToothCarcass]

Sounds awesome

[UnKn0wN]

Here some preliminary feedback…

I would like a detailed feature list to better understand the changes compared to your latest Redux, I just tried it for a couple of hours now but I it messed up my game lol

I was running a custom mash up of Redux and Tom mod myself and didn´t want to start a new game…
My mash up was basically Tom`s graphics and silent machete.. and pretty much Redux everything else.

I noticed that weapons are all messed up in the store now, seems you took how weapons are handled from Tom´s mod, anything else you took from Tom´s mod gameplaywise?
did you change stuff from latest Redux?
I just want to better understand all the changes...

Anyway, it looks good and plays fine, I just have to start a new game with this to properly judge but I think I will finish the run of my mash up first as I am not in the mood for restarting the game from scratch right now..

Oh, an option to have player position on map and short or long taxi ride would be nice, like you did for your latest Redux.

I will try your mod soon or late mate... just too busy with other stuff right now...
keep it up..

No pressure. I really just did make the mod for myself and decided to upload it online if by some chance anyone else liked it. I don't consider it the best by any means, Redux or Tom's mod is probably more balanced and faithful to the original game.
