Everyone knows that the intense, advanced modern games of today require huge amounts of processing power in order to offer the incredible, immersive and cinematic gameplay experiences that they offer. If you didn't realise when I said 'cinematic', that was satire.
This is a guide I'm making to show that FarCry 4 can be run on a dual core system with more than sufficient performance that offers a good gameplay experience. The first step in this process is to get the game working. In order to do this you'll need to inject a.dll into the FC4 executable when it starts. I'll link all files at the bottom of this post. Now, with the files you have downloaded and unzipped,you should see this: Run the 'Extreme Injector V3' executable. If it isn't already, you'll need to organise the.dll files in this order specifically, which you can do by adding and removing them: Then, just run FarCry 4 and hit 'Inject' the moment you start it. You need to do it while the splash screen is still up, otherwise it might not work.
Once it works, the game should be running! Now, for the performance numbers I get on my PC, which I would consider a mid-to-low spec system. As a forenote, I did consider using Fraps, but decided against it and just kept an eye on my numbers as I played as to give general, but more realistic numbers. My specs: CPU: Penitum G3258 @ 4.4ghz GPU: Asus GTX 760 DCUII OC @ Stock (Not a good OC'er) I'm also using a 1080p monitor (Asus VE248H) For the different scenarios, I just looked at a wall for 'looking at a wall', then I ran in circles and jumped around a small outpost for 'Running around', and for 'In a firefight' I ran into an enemy outpost and went full retard with an assault rifle. I also didn't test the high and very-high settings as I didn't think it was really worth it.
For Far Cry 4 on the PC, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Black screen (not responding) on launch fix?'
I don't think there's enough of a difference between med, high and very-high to worry about it. Low: (Game looks like absolute ass, no AA, near no shadows.) -Looking at a wall: About 61-62 -Running around: Mostly high 40's (Pretty much the same as med settings.) -In a firefight: Mid 40's.
Med: (looks alright now, still no AA) -Looking at a wall: High 50's -Running around: Around 50, down to mid 40's.In a firefight: High 30's to low 40's. Ultra: (Looks darker and more bland, plus the HBAO+ contrast is too damn high.) -Looking at a wall: Low to mid 50's -Running around: Average around the 40's, dips down to mid 30's.In a firefight: 30's with the occasional dip into 20's. So, it seems that as you increase in quality, the max fps lowers by a few fps, but the amount that the fps dips during more intense scenes increases substantially. Injector and.dll files: -(I tested Zippyshare, can't guarantee the others.) Thanks to @ from whom I borrowed the multifile link from. Turns out that Skidrow actually made this crack, so kudos to him for that.
More of his cracks and other such things over at his site, which is about his (Skidrows) game cracks, which you might even call SkidrowGames. Which could be a network (.net) site.

Just a list of my personal scores for some products, in no particular order, with brief comments. I just got the idea to do them so they aren't many for now Don't take these as complete reviews or final truths - they are just my personal impressions on products I may or may not have used, summed up in a couple of sentences and a rough score. All scores take into account the unit's price and time of release, heavily so, therefore don't expect absolute performance to be reflected here.
