As an introduction

First, a big thanks goes to FarOutCry who created this mod!
Everything works perfectly.
Instead of stretching like in vanilla Far Cry, the weapon textures have been scaled correctly.
You can easily set up authentic widescreen support from 4:3 to even 48:9!

Downloading

Installation

The whole process is quick and easy.
Mod has been written as an installer, so it does the job for us.
All you need to do is download the mod and select the target directory.
(C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Crytek\Far Cry\) and voila!

Additionally, you can choose extra options to be installed, like SilentPatch - created by Silent - and I really urge you.

This patch aims to fix a few issues, like broken water reflections or problems with vertical syns.



Next step

After the installation, just run the game and click on 'modifications' at the left menu.
Then select 'FarOut Widescreen WIP' and click on 'load'.
Whenever you start the game, you have to select this mod from the list - remember it.

Result

An extra tip

I typically set the lock to 72 & 144 fps in older games.
I've noticed that the CPU and GPU experience higher temperatures due to a significant discrepancy between frames.
RivaTuner is what I use, as shown below.
So if, for some reason, you would like to get lower temperatures - here's a tip.
