Far Cry 5 feature 2

Far Cry 5 Patch 1.11 adds official HD Textures Pack, adds new masks, weapons and vehicles


Ubisoft has released a brand new update for Far Cry 5. According to the release notes, patch 1.11 adds an official HD Textures Pack for the PC, brings various Map Editor improvements and fixes, and adds new masks, weapons and vehicles.

Furthermore, patch 1.11 fixes a bug for Voice Chat losing functionality when switching game modes, fixes some bugs for general Lobby Stability when jumping between the various game modes, and fixes a bug regarding a trophy unlock issue for “Hope County Master Angler” in NG+.

As wrote in our PC Performance Analysis, Far Cry 5 featured highly detailed textures so it will be interesting to see whether these new HD textures improve some low-resolution textures that we could spot here and there, or whether they simply increase the amount of GBs that our GPUs are scheduled to handle without improving the overall image quality. After all, we’ve seen numerous official HD Texture packs that do not really bring any noticeable visual improvements to some games.

As always, Steam and UPLAY will download this new patch the next time you launch their clients, and below you can find its complete changelog.
