1. Context: What is "Far Cry 3 v1.05 RELOADED Exclusive"?
- Game: Far Cry 3 (original, not the 2018 "Classic Edition").
- Patch Version: 1.05 (the final major patch for the original PC version).
- Crew: RELOADED (prominent 2000s–2010s warez scene group).
- "Exclusive" meaning: At the time, RELOADED claimed this crack had unique bypass methods not found in other releases (e.g., SKIDROW, CPY). Often referred to as a "scene release" (properly packed, NFO included, no external loaders).
I n s t a l l N o t e s :
- Run "Far.Cry.3.Update.v1.05.exe" (point to your FC3 root folder).
- Copy cracked contents from /RELOADED/ to /bin/.
- Play.
Technical Breakdown: What the NFO Said
If you could dig up the original .nfo file (the text file released with the warez), it likely contained lines like:
"Far.Cry.3.Update.v1.05.RELOADED-Exclusive" "Notes: This update is ONLY for our previous release. It will not work with SKIDROW or CPY releases. You have been warned." farcry3updatev105reloaded exclusive
The patch was distributed as a 350MB binary diff (using WinRAR split archives). The installation process was manual: Game: Far Cry 3 (original, not the 2018 "Classic Edition")
- Apply official 1.05 patch (download from Ubisoft).
- Do not restart the PC.
- Overwrite the
farcry3.exe,uplay_r1_loader.dll, andorbit_api.dllwith RELOADED’s exclusive substitutes. - Run a registry key fix to disable Uplay's self-update.
Cons
- No multiplayer matchmaking – only LAN co-op works. No official servers.
- 64-bit only – the crack doesn't support the 32-bit exe (irrelevant for most, but modders note).
- No Windows 11 native fullscreen optimization – may need compatibility flags.
- Ultrawide fix required separately – the crack doesn't modify FOV or aspect ratio locks.
