Everyone else will have to download and install the mod separately. "We've already added several tweaks to various Ubisoft games," Traczyk said, "and we really appreciate their open approach in this matter." Players who own the classic Far Cry through GOG will already have the fix included with the game.
Ubisoft, apparently, trusts GOG to handle things. Whatever its philosophical motivations, GOG handles changes like this on a case-by-case basis, and some publishers are more hands-on than others. Plus, it just isn't much fun to get shot in a video game by broken, all-seeing AI. Then again, this new GOG-improved version is closer to the original 1.0 version that launched in 2004.

The function of the leaked patch 1.4 where people could activate HDR and Anti-Aliasing at the same time on ATI graphic cards has been cut due to engine related. For GOG, making a change to game files owned by another publisher isn't as unusual as it first appears.

GOG's programmers made the change themselves after FarOutWidescreen described the bug and how to fix it. "I opened a support ticket noting that the game ships in a broken state and carefully explained the issue, and how trivial the fix was, and it escalated from there." This patch was one of the last pieces of support for the game after over two years, and it was never officially fixed.įarOutWidescreen, who describes himself as a "self-taught programmer," figured out a fix for the problem and published it as a mod earlier this year.
