The embedded Easy Anti-Cheat has been removed from the game.

Use modified EasyAntiCheat_x64.dll^[3]

VR support [edit]

Issues resolved [edit]

FPS drops with CPU bottlenecking [edit]

Change FarCry5.exe priority process to high^[9]
In case off "Access Denied" error use the Easy Anti-Cheat bypass or see this Reddit post. Try to change process priority on splash screen to avoid task switching and connected with it later stuttering in this game if exist.

Lock FPS in game options to your max achievable value or just 60 FPS^[10]

Can't reverse in car, nor descend in helicopter [edit]

Disable Steam Input^[11]
Right-click the game on Steam, go to Properties. Click on the `Controller` tab. Under Override for Far Cry 5, set in the drop down menu `Disable Steam Input`

Very low FPS with 99% GPU usage [edit]

Use ReShade and Rinput injectors together^[12]
Fix for cards like HD 7870/R9 270 and low details. In case of game error of injecting see Easy Anti-Cheat bypass. In case of FPS drops after using map, disable ReShade by pressing `0` (you can bind the key in injector menu, beginning from version 4.x, by "home" key) or press `Alt`+`Tab ↹` . Sometimes ReShade's dxgi.dll may cause crash on application launch. Restart the system to fix it.

Stuttering [edit]

(AMD) Turn on Enhanced Sync in Radeon Overlay (`Alt`+`R`) or GPU control panel.^[10]

Turn on Dynamic Resolution in game options to 30 FPS (it won't limit FPS itself)

Turn on Game Mode on Windows 10
