🗂 How Far Cry 1 Root Folder Should Look

This is where you'll install required files (like the FCAV Launcher folder):

🚫 Forget about the Bin32 folder!

Don't try to launch the mod from the vanilla game inside Bin32.

❗ NOTE: The FCAV Launcher folder must be located in the root game folder!

1️⃣ First Method — Launcher Installation

(Recommended method; if the launcher does not work, use the manual method below.)

1) Download the launcher: Launcher Latest Version

2) Install the launcher into the root game folder — not Bin32. Check the screenshot above.

3) Start the launcher and wait for the update, then play.

2️⃣ Second Method — Manual Installation🟥

1) Download MANUAL VERSION OF FCAV: Google Drive Mirror or from MediaFire: MediaDrive Mirror

2) Delete OpenFC from root folder and FCAV from Mods folder if you had previous versions.

3) Extract FCAV.zip into ROOT GAME folder (not Bin32).

4) Launch the mod from YourFCFolder/Mods/FCAV/game.bat or from OpenFC folder. Then start the game, go to Mods partition, and launch FCAV.
