Far Cry gets a 5GB AI-enhanced HD Texture Pack, available for download, comparison screenshots
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/far-cry-gets-a-5gb-ai-enhanced-hd-texture-pack-available-for-download-comparison-screenshots/
Now here is something that passed under our radar. A while back, modder ‘Zeneric’ released an AI-enhanced HD Texture Pack for the first Far Cry game. Zeneric used Topaz’s A.I. Gigapixel and ESRGAN in order to improve the quality of textures by four times.
This pack is 5GB in size and enhances almost every texture. The pack also comes with upscaled bump, displacement, and normal maps.
To run this HD Texture Pack, players will need the unofficial FarCry patch 1.505. The modder also suggests using SilentPatch FarCry. These patches fix bugs (such as missing water reflection), and enhance graphics (such as textures looking better).
>> Here's the link to the mod, but the article doesn't provide the links to the unofficial 1.505 patch nor the SilentPatch.
