Ubisoft has just released the third major update for Far Cry 6. According to the release notes, Title Update 3 packs a number of Quality-of-Life improvements. Moreover, it fixes some gameplay issues, and makes some adjustments to the HD Texture Pack for PC.
Going into more details, Ubisoft has made some changes for the HD Texture Pack on PC that should decrease the blurriness that appeared for some players when using the HD Texture Pack. However, the team still recommends using this HD Texture Pack only if you have 12GB of VRAM. So yeah, those with RTX3080s should still avoid using it (especially if they are playing at 4K).
Title Update 3 also makes several adjustments to reduce the instances where HUD elements would be blocked or hidden, e.g., when changing region. Not only that, but it increases Mission tracker icon and font size when using the “Increased” option for UI and Fonts Scaling under the Vision option menu.
The Far Cry 6 Patch 3 is 8GB in size without the HD Texture Pack. With the HD Texture Pack, the size increases to 12.4GB.
As always, Ubisoft Connect and and Epic Games Store will download this patch the next time you launch their clients. Below you can also find its complete changelog.

PC
- HD Texture Pack — Some assets appearing blurry
Developer comment: We have made some changes for the HD Texture Pack on PC that should decrease the blurriness that appeared for some players when using the HD Texture Pack. When looking into these reports, we are seeing players using graphics cards with less than 12 GB of VRAM available. When using the HD Texture Pack with less than the minimum required VRAM available, the performance and the look of the game can be worse than without the pack.
- Fixed an issue that caused the “Aim Type” and “Weapon Wheel Interaction” options to reset to default when restarting the game.
