Example Code Snippet (Conceptual)

def apply_patch(patch_file, game_data_dir):
    # Conceptual function to apply a patch
    if not os.path.exists(patch_file):
        print("Patch file does not exist")
        return
# Assuming a simple replace-based patch system
    with open(patch_file, 'r') as f:
        for line in f.readlines():
            # Assuming format: "source_file|target_file"
            src, tgt = line.strip().split('|')
            # Implement file replacement logic here
            print(f"Applying patch: src -> tgt")
# Example usage
patch_file = "path/to/patch.dat"
game_dir = "path/to/FarCry3"
apply_patch(patch_file, game_dir)
