    Anyway to Desaturate the colors without injecting tool?

    Hello I was wondering if there was any way to desaturate some of the colors without a DirectX Injector tool. Ive tried multiple injector tools for both DirectX9/11 and also trying to run farcry3 in both DirectX9/11 and the game always crashes right after the far cry logo when i launch the game. Game is running with admin rights and all but I have no luck..

    Yes there is. Go to nvidia control panel -> adjust desktop colour settings -> and put the vibrance down. It should work.

    If you were trying to use sweetFX to desaturate the image and getting a crash, you need to extract d3d9.dll, dxgi.dll, and injector.ini to the Far cry 3/bin folder. Everything else in the sweetFX zip file should be extracted to the Far Cry 3 folder. If you install it by trying to put everything in the bin folder or running the game on DX11, it will crash. I've found that using a #define Vibrance of -0.05 in the sweetFX-settings gives a really nice result.
