Far Cry 3′s New PC Patch Adds DLC Support, Toggles for HUD

For an open game about exploring a natural, jungle-covered island, Far Cry 3 sure does provide protagonist with a whole lot of magic information. Between the constant objective tracking and the mini-map, it’s like you’ve got Google Maps implanted in your broski brain.

Far Cry 3′s latest patch, 1.04, alleviates that a bit. The patch adds more options for HUD adjustment, allowing you to turn off those persistent objective markers in your face, for example. The patch also brings in a lot of little bug fixes, and something notable but inevitable: DLC support. Get ready for that to start showing up before long.
