PC gamers and modders have released new unofficial patches for Far Cry, Bully: Scholarship Edition, Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto Vice City and Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. These patches fix some rendering issues and crashes, and bring various Quality of life improvements.
Going into more details, the patch for Far Cry fixes water reflections on modern Windows versions, fixes crash occuring when using a mouse scroll wheel during loading screens, allows VSync to work properly, and adds a “-64bit” commandline option for getting a 64-bit version of the game to work via Steam.
On the other hand, the patch for Bully: Scholarship Edition fixes various crashes that were occurring on Windows 10 (and potentially on Windows 8.1 and other systems), improves collision loading, forces the Frame Limiter to be much more precise, and adds an option to change FPS cap.
Last but not least, the unofficial patches for GTA 3, GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas fix various issues and decrease keyboard input latency by one frame.
Those interested can download the unofficial patch for Far Cry from here, for Bully: Scholarship Edition from here, and those for GTA III, GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas from here.

Need Vice city Remake.
Why remake? Make gta vi on vice city. Will go along with all the retrowave thingy that is going on the last few years.
Godamn it john i saw the picture and i thought it was a xbox emulator running far cry instincts
A pure far cry without open world BS…
The problem with the open world is that its an empty and disjointed with horrible pacing. If they made a far cry game in the spirit of say gothic or the forest, or rage, meaning unique environments with unique mobs and locations, i would enjoy it much more, sometimes less is more.
wut?
Dude 10 years ago was in 2008, there werent any open world games back in 2008 that were better than far cry 4,5.
Assasin creed was repetitive and simplistic so was infamous, then you got fallout 3 which is meh and not a real fallout, new vegas is better. Far cry 2 which i love but its too repettive and saints row 2 in 2009.
Sorry there is no “gotcha” moment here.
And Ubisoft replace the sci-fi alien in FC1 with some supernatural theme for the rest of the series because alien/monster is too Crytek/too Crysis…smh
the thing far cry edition?
Yes
there is an excellent weapon pack out there and plenty of map packs.
Is there anything like this for the original Crysis?
mods plenty of mods. Also vivisector but its kinda crap in the first levels it turns into a completely different game later one as if devs learned how to make games as they were developing.
Sorry I wasn’t more specific. I was talking about proper 64 bit patches, since the versions on Steam just won’t start.
I had this same issue with 64 bit.
I can’t seem to recall how I solved this issue before, but it had something to do with the Bin64 folder.
I think renaming either the Bin32 or Bin 64 folder, and/or the .EXE files found inside these folders, sort of worked for some, but the game needs to be fully patched first.
I think STEAM has an issue with this, because IIRC, I never faced such kind of issue with the Retail disk copy, 2 CDs which came with Crysis.
Could this be related to SecuROM disk protection ? Not sure though.
Btw, I just found a link. Don’t know whether it will work or not, but try downloading this folder, and paste it into your Crysis directory.
Or, maybe rename it to Bin32, and just check whether the game starts or not ? Most importantly, please make a BACKUP of the Crysis Bin32/64 folders, before copying any file or folder.
The link might take some time to get approved by the mod/admin.
Nah, the problem is EA sabotaging support for its own games on Steam, in order to favor its own store, Origin, thus not releasing proper 64 bit updates.
thats a steam problem really. there are “fixes” online if you get my meaning.
Original Far Cry is the best. no open world, no repetitive camp liberation, radio tower liberation BS, mini sandbox and well made levels, every weapons gunplay feels it has its own weight. AI can see you across the realm, they see you and you will be under their rocket launchers mercy. I don’t want to talk about mutants, they are annoying as hell. On the easiest difficulty you’re already thrown into the tropical hell.
During weekends it’s only natural to take some time. We won’t disable this feature because in the past there were tons of spammers. This way we can easily limit spamming.
That’s Okay, No problem at all. Yeah, that indeed makes sense, since you can control the spam bots this was as well….
Ah yes that patch for the first far cry is perfect!
I wanted to replay it for ages but the d3d wrapper that fixed that issues gives you an 80% degradation in performances that was felt even on modern gpu’s
Some of my favorite games 😀
