The setting and connection to the locals, as well as nature, make Far Cry 4 one of the best entries in the series and offers a great starting base for any long-time enjoyers of the title who wish to add their own elements to its intricate world. Installing mods for Far Cry 4 is generally a simple process: However, when installing mods, be sure to read the instructions carefully, as poor installation can cause issues like bugs and game crashes.

Also, there are no NVIDIA GameWorks features that I can see - the fur effect looks identical to the PS4 version - but that might be a good thing as the theory is that the crashing in Far Cry 4 was caused by the GameWorks features! I really love this game and the PC, while obviously looking a little crisper and sharper than the PS4 version due to the higher resolution, looks very pretty if a little dated in places (lack of tessellation for one thing). I am still using the v361.91 WHQL driver but there is supposed to be a newer v362.00 beta driver, not that this game seems to need it on my system but if it improves the minimum framerate then I am not to complain! The benchmark (with v-sync on) showed a minimum framerate of 51 fps and an average (unsurprisingly since it is capped) of 60 fps.

The game did not crash either though it remains to be seen whether prolonged play will result in them as they typically occurred in Far Cry 4 after 30 minutes of playing. I will post how the game runs in these larger areas later on tonight when I've had the chance to play it for a few hours.

Granted, most of my playtime was spent in smaller enclosed areas or caves as I only reached the part where you are free to go wherever you want as I had to leave for work. I got the chance to play the PC version for about 40 minutes or so this morning before work and it seems to be running fine for me, holding 60 fps for 99.999% of the time during the opening tutorial sections at 2560x1440p with the Ultra preset and SMAA.
