If anyone's wondering how to get this to work in 2022 or later,
First get ReShade 4.7, i believe this is the version the author of this preset used as the dates check out and it has the Legacy effects. (get it from the repository ReShade Repository - ReShade Forum )
Follow the steps given by the author then place his preset "burntfoodinafrica.ini" in the FC2 bin folder, launch the game, press HOME, skip tutorial, from the drop down menu select the preset then enable all of the ticks except for clarity (i noticed it drops FPS heavily and doesn't really do anything visually unless that's not a problem to you), then go to settings and choose a bind for toggle effects, close the menu and see for yourself if the toggle does anything.
Last step, thank the author for the best and most tame preset for Far Cry 2 that doesn't make the game unplayable at night and doesn't extremely oversaturate the colors.
Hi thanks for the tips, but the ReShade 4.7 I get via ReShade Repository (the author use ReShade 4.7 in his game-improvement guide here : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2777274300) doesn't seem to have Legacy standard effects list (where you choose Ambientlight.fx and Clarity.fx) it only propose the Standard effects list instead...
