Alex Tuduran’s ReShade preset transforms your game into a cinematic masterpiece, amplifying realism with a darker, grimier, and more atmospheric look. Designed to push the limits of lighting, shadows, and post-processing, this preset enhances textures, deepens contrast, and adds a subtle filmic grain for a lived-in, immersive aesthetic.

Far Cry 3.5 ReShade Preset Installation GuideStep 1: Install ReShade
  • Download ReShade from the official website: https://reshade.me/
  • Open the ReShade installer and select the Far Cry 3 executable located in:
    Far Cry 3 - Duology\Far Cry 3\bin
Step 2: Select the Correct API
  • Launch Far Cry 3.
  • Go to the VIDEO options in the game menu.
    
  • Check whether your game is using DirectX 9 (DX9) or DirectX 11 (DX11) (See provided image example).
  • Close the game and return to the ReShade installer.
  • In ReShade, select the correct API (DX9 or DX11) based on your game settings.
    


Step 3: Import the Preset
  • Download the Alex Tuduran's ReShade Preset.
  • In ReShade, click on Import and select the .ini file of the preset.
  • ReShade will automatically check all the necessary shader boxes.
  • Wait for the installation process to complete.
  • Launch the game, and when you press the Home key on your keyboard, you should see a ReShade overlay pop-up (See image example).
    
    
    
Step 4: Fix Screen Space AO Issue (Optional)
  • The game has an issue where Scene Ambient Occlusion (AO) gets overwritten, causing grass to lose the screen space shader at certain angles.
  • If this issue annoys you, follow these steps:
    • Open the ReShade menu in-game (press Home key).
    • Locate the affected shader in the list.
      
    • Untick the shader to disable it.
    • (Press Active to the Top for easier management.)


Step 5: Toggle Effect Keybind (Optional)
  • You can assign a keybind to toggle the effect on and off:
    • Open the ReShade menu.
    • Go to the Settings tab.
    • Assign a key to toggle ReShade effects.
      
  • This allows you to see the before and after or quickly disable effects during gunplay.

    Step 6: (Optional) Install Far Cry 3 Reborn Mod
    • The screenshots provided use the Far Cry 3 Reborn mod.
    • To install:
      • Drop the mod's two patch files into the game's Win32 directory.
      • Make a backup of your existing two patch files before replacing them.


    Step 7: Enjoy!
    • Check out the screenshots for a preview of the improved visuals.
