Far Cry 4 - Release Compat. and Settings
#1
Hey all,

First post so go easy. Like many others I've had some issues getting Far Cry 4 up and running. I downloaded this copy of the game first because it seemed to be the most popular. After doing some reading, I found this version to be 1.0.0 which had some issues with frame rate and FOV settings. I had to adjust the ambient occlusion in the "crab rangoon" room to get proper, playable lighting. I still find my FPS to be a little under what I had hoped for medium settings, but that brings me to my actual questions:

Can I apply this update to the version I've already downloaded (note the difference between R.G. Steamgames and SKIDROW)? I've played through the prologue of my current V1.0.0 and found my save games to be working. Also, does anyone have any advice on making the game feel a little more... smooth? Aiming and looking seem to be really sluggish.

Update: I've just noticed that my map is completely blacked out, so I only have my mini-map to go off of. Does anyone know if that's fixed in V1.0.3?
Update 2: Found a Youtube video detailing how to fix the black map, so that's taken care of. Going to try the SKIDROW patch and see if it works. I'll post my results when I finish.
Update 3: Installed the SKIDROW patch but now my saves aren't properly loading, I only have the option to start a new game. Going to do some hunting around to see if I can't get them to work. Patch seemed to work well though.
Update 4: Read a ton of comments and tried doing all sorts of rename and location switching tactics but I can't get the ALI save to load on a SKIDROW crack. I figured this was going to happen so I didn't put much time into the game pre-patch. Best of luck to you guys trying this.

Thanks all!
