1. DESCRIPTION
Also available for FC2, FC3, FC3: Blood Dragon, FC Primal, FC5, FC New Dawn, Watch Dogs, Watch Dogs 2!
Now compatible with game version 1.12.0!
Far Cry 4's native Anisotropic Filtering implementation has four issues:
As a result, even with maxed out settings, most surfaces get blurry rather close to the camera, like roads - and that's even worse for textures that do not use Anisotropic Filtering, like tree trunks or water.
As of Version 2.0, this mod edits a config file so that:
This should have little to no performance impact, unless you are using a very old GPU. Using this mod won't lead to any undesirable behavior - unlike forcing AF from your GPU control panel.

Now compatible with game version 1.12.0!
Far Cry 4's native Anisotropic Filtering implementation has four issues:
- It uses a variable level of Anisotropic Filtering with a minimum of 2x and a maximum of 8x on Ultra.
- The level of filtering is assigned per-surface - most surfaces get 2x/4x AF (eg skin, weapons, props) and a few get 8x AF (eg ground).
- A lot of surfaces do not get Anisotropic Filtering at all, and rely on Point or Linear filtering instead (Tree trunks, water etc).
- The "Texture" setting controls both texture quality and filtering. High, Medium and Low settings do not use Anisotropic Filtering for most surfaces.
As a result, even with maxed out settings, most surfaces get blurry rather close to the camera, like roads - and that's even worse for textures that do not use Anisotropic Filtering, like tree trunks or water.
As of Version 2.0, this mod edits a config file so that:
- The game always uses 16x Anisotropic Filtering instead of a variable, per-surface level.
- Surfaces that previously relied on Linear or Point filtering now receive proper 16x AF as well.
- 16x AF is enabled for every "Texture" setting, meaning that even the lowest setting will use 16x AF.
This should have little to no performance impact, unless you are using a very old GPU. Using this mod won't lead to any undesirable behavior - unlike forcing AF from your GPU control panel.
