Let us know.

Played for an hour - starts with crazy Vaas :) Nice graphics and sound effects with all jungle sounds and bees buzzing (irritating but so natural). Played on Ultra settings - turned down Shadows to High. I'm getting 25-30 FPS. Don't want to lower the resolution - will try to lower some other setting for higher FPS.

The gunplay's solid. Feels heavy and responsive. There's TON of things to do. Lovin' it. And oh, frames are now 35-50. Turned vsync off. No tearing though.

Please let me know the settings that you are using. I tried lowering the resolution but the game crashed. It starts in windowed mode and then I have to change it to fullscreen.

Mouse movements are restricted in menu screens - cannot access half the screen to the right and below - so no access to buttons there, instead use "tab" key. Is the entire screen accessible to you? Had similar issue with BF3 but changes to compatibility settings and game patches resolved the issue then.

Do let me know the drivers that you are using. Did you use AMD overdrive? I tried but did not get any increase in FPS - GPU was over 95% busy and temp around 72-75 degrees - its strictly stuck below 30 (as if locked).

This game does not take much of resources , I guess.
It is running smoother than Hitman:Absolution on my PC. Hell, I am even experiencing stuttering on Absolution.
AFAIR , even BF3 gave higher FPS than Absolution.

Dunia 2 FTW.

Btw what there in Far Cry 3 : The Lost Expedition Edition?
Is it a DLC?

Started playing it Yesterday. I must say, i am very impressed it, like i did for FC1. Excellent graphics, and nicely optimized. Even in my PC, it is running in decent fps with medium settings at 800x600. Still it looks awesome. Story and gameplay is impressive.

Guess what!!!! I had ordered Lost Expedition Edition from Game4U. Got DLC code for that in DVD pack. I checked my mail today and to my surprise, Game4U had sent me Predator Pack code as well... :) Both packs unlocked :) Hoping Game4U sends me Monkey Pack DLC code as well :D

Most important question for me: what's the FOV? And is it customizable? If yes, then what's the range?

Managed to get FPS up to 40. PostFX and Shadow turned to Medium. HDAO, MSAA-2, Vsync-off, GPU buffered frame-2. Full HD - everything else turned to MAX. It still looks amazing.

Turning down PostFX instantly gave me 10 FPS bump - will turn it off completely as I dont see much difference in quality. Here is an article about it.

But haven't figured out how to access full menu screen - just can't move mouse to right-half and bottom-half of the screen. Anybody???

Why So Serious ???
This depth of field trick didn't affect my FPS. I'm using HD7950 on i5-3570K with 16GB of 1600MHz RAM. I'm getting constant frame rates of around 60 when settings are ultra high with MSAA off. "GPU buffered frame" also doesn't seem to have any effect.
My frame rate drops to 20 when I enable MSAA. Downloading latest beta drivers from AMD now... will post if it improves the performance with MSAA on.

The field of view (also field of vision, abbreviated FOV) is the extent of the observable world that is seen at any given moment.

Its customizable the last time i checked (in skyrim).

Actually I was asking what's the FOV used in this game and whether there's a slider to change the setting and if yes, what's the range?

start the game
play by the default values
if you feel that it should be low/high, then modify the value in its config file (I'm assuming that it exists)

I think I saw FOV setting in Far Cry 3, yes you can change it but not sure what changes.

This issue was resolved. Problem is with Windows 7 Aero themes - I changed it to Windows 7 Basic theme and the issue got resolved.
