One player complaint which has emerged loud and clear since Far Cry 3’s release is the cluttered Heads Up Display, a complaint which Ubisoft has said they’ve heard loud and clear.
PC players had already been making use of a configuration hack which hides the HUD, a double edged sword in that it also buries essential information.
The developer has confirmed that it is currently working on a patch to add adjustable HUD options to the game, allowing players to keep the essentials and hide the rest.
Here’s the official statement:
“Based on feedback from both press and fans, the Far Cry 3 production team is working on a patch that will allow you to toggle most HUD/UI elements based on player preference. The patch will also avoid issues encountered in the .dll hack that might create a mission walkthrough break (missing QTE prompts, critical information, etc;). The team is excited about how the Far Cry 3 community and fans of the game are enjoying themselves, and finding new ways to experience the Rook Islands. More news will be coming on the patch shortly…”
This is a quick response from Ubisoft, and it’s good to hear player complaints are being heard and addressed.
