Is there a way to play this through Steam? I would love to record play time and share screenshots. Best I could do is have Steam run the FCAV launcher but when you press play it stops going through Steam.
Where that .bat does work to bypass the launcher when launched outside of Steam, but using that command Windows gives me a strange error saying it can't find farcry.exe in the openFC folder even though it's right there.
I guess I will have to suffice with tricking Steam into running the game when I launch your mod manually, so I at least get the playtime.
You can try to add manually farcry.exe from OpenFC in steam as separated game. Also, about screenshots, they saves into: "YourFarCryFolder/FCAV_Files/Screenshots", but yeah, that will not shown in steam. Okay, if still nothing will help, we will investigate this thing and will try to make special guide a bit later.
Appreciate the response. Problem with a separate Steam game is that it's not running under the actual Far Cry game, so game time isn't counted and screenshots aren't saved to that community hub. Basically we need the Steam overlay to work running this mod while Steam thinks we are playing the og Far Cry.

I tried this in Steam launch options:
"G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FarCry\Mods\FCAV\game.bat" %command%

.bat file will not work with steam.
