R_TexResolution - 0=Full texture resolution, 1=Half resolution, 2=Quarter resolution. cfg files (see below and also the Console Commands Section). They can also be changed in the game's console, or by manually editing the.

Note that editing these values using the Config Tool will make the appropriate changes in the corresponding entry in your main System.cfg file (see below). Indicative performance impacts are given, but you are encouraged to experiment, as the performance and visual impact depends a lot on your particular hardware and other settings as much as anything else. These settings are covered below, but not in great detail due mainly to space considerations and my less than perfect knowledge of the intricacies of every setting. For example if you just want to disable Motion Blur but keep the rest of your Special Effects Quality settings equivalent to High or Very High, you can do so here. However unlike the descriptions given in the In-Game Settings section, here you can actually alter the individual components of these settings, and not just use presets like Low, Medium and High. This will open up a new dialog box which contains tabs addressing all of the game's Advanced Video functions, such as Environment Quality, Lighting Quality etc. Go to the Video Options (Advanced) tab, and click on the Customize button on the bottom right. Changing them is exactly the same as changing them in Far Cry.īut wait.there is one particular section of interest to us. All of the settings under the Tool's main tabs have already been covered in the In-Game Settings section above, so they won't be covered again here. You can launch the Far Cry Configuration Tool by clicking its icon, or if you can't find the icon, go to your \Program Files\UBISOFT\Crytek\Far Cry\Bin32\ directory and launch (double click on) the FarCr圜onfigurator.exe file. Note that before we get into any tweaking with either method, I strongly recommend you copy your System.cfg and Game.cfg files and put these copies somewhere safe as a backup. The Configuration Tool tweaks are covered on the next two pages, with the. cfg files, which allows for a wider range of tweaking but is less user friendly than the Configuration Tool. The first one is by using the Far Cry Configuration Tool. There are two major ways to further tweak the game's settings. Below are several ways in which you can further increase performance and/or improve visual quality beyond the bounds of the in-game settings. But of course, given also caters to the hardcore tweakers out there, it's highly unlikely we were going to leave the tinkering at just the in-game settings. In fact for most purposes they should be sufficient. So far we've seen that the Far Cry in-game settings do allow for a fair amount of customization.
