Includes a couple of bugfixes and improves the way binoculars and weapon scopes work.
Installation instructions
- Download and install Far Cry, if you haven’t already. The game needs to be patched to v1.4; this is already the case for the Steam and gog versions.
- Download the Far Cry VR installer from the link above and run it. Note: the installer is not signed, so your browser and/or Windows will likely complain about not trusting the installer. You will have to tell Windows to run the installer, anyway.
- Make sure to select the right path to your Far Cry installation. If you are not sure where it resides, in Steam you can right-click on the game and select “Manage -> Browse local files” to find the path on your machine. Similarly, in GOG Galaxy you can right-click on the game and go to “Manage installation -> Show folder”.
- Finish the installer.
You can now launch Far Cry VR by executing the FarCryVR.bat in your Far Cry install folder. Far Cry VR requires SteamVR; if you have trouble starting the game, make sure that SteamVR is running first and working with your VR headset.
NOTE: by default, the installer runs without admin privileges as the Far Cry game folder should be user-writeable. If you run into issues, you may need to explicitly run the installer as an administrator. To do so, right-click on it and select “Run as administrator”.
Attention for owners of the Ubisoft version: due to the way the Ubisoft game launch works, the mod currently does not run out of the box on this version. There is a fairly simple workaround, though: open the FarCryVR.bat in a text editor of your choice and delete the last line, erase d3d9.dllNow running the bat should properly launch the mod and allow you to play in VR. This problem will be fixed in a future version of the mod.
