Funny Thing About Far Cry 1 Blue Fog Issue
Although Far Cry was released in 2004, I get my hands on this game like 2011 or 2012 to play myself. At that time I didn’t have the Skorpion gaming PC. I only had my HP laptop which isn’t built for gaming, yet I gave it a try.
I experienced the same things I said above for the very first time. What’s funny is, I actually thought it’s an issue of my laptop caused the Far Cry 1 graphics problem. My world didn’t fell apart. I was just disappointed that Far Cry didn’t look great.
I didn’t search for a solution at that time and started playing with blue fog everywhere. Somehow I played Far Cry 1 till its horror elements came to eat my flesh. Yeah, I’m talking about 🙉 Trigens.
I’m Not Giving It Up FCry
That was my first attempt to enjoy the game on Windows 7.
After I built my first Gaming PC, I started to play each and every game I missed due to bad graphical support in my previous laptops and PCs. Skorpion gaming PC can handle almost every game at their max settings. But Far Cry 1 threw me the same old crappy graphics this time and I didn’t follow the same path as earlier.
It’s clear that this blue fog issue is not due to my graphics. That lead me to find a working Far Cry 1 graphics problem fix which is what I’m going to show you guys in a moment. Later I found out there are multiple methods to fix the Far Cry blue fog render such as,
- With Far Cry 1 Patch 1.4
- Editing a system config file of the game
- Using a 3D Analyzer
This time I installed Far Cry 1 on Windows 10 and worked great.

I’ve been playing Far Cry 1 on Windows 10 while creating this graphics comparison video. So, it should work. Try clicking on the EXE file from where you installed the game. Try running the game as Administrator or in Compatibility Mode. Maybe it’s something to do with 32-64 Bit. Check the links in Video description for Patches where you can find 64-Bit upgrades as well.
If everything fails, install a different version of the game.
Happy Gaming!
