How to Remove Scan Lines

By Mango Man

We all appreciate the nostalgic and comedic idea of scan lines in FC3:BD but they make the game uglier than ideal.

Removing Scan Lines

Go to C: > Program Files (x86) > Steam > SteamApps > common > Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon > bin

There you will see FC3.dll. You will need a hex editor of some kind to open it (I used HxD). Once you have that open it up and find "COverlayTrack" (use Ctrl+F to open search) convert all corresponding letters and numbers to 0.

Zero out the same value in the FC3_d3d11.dll if you use DX11.

NexusMods I think has a remover mod as well.

Any chance you could provide a download link to an already edited dll with the scanlines removed, for those of us too dumb to do this manually?

It is not needed to null out the entire string. Strings in C++ are null terminated, meaning the first 0x00 it encounters determines the end of the string. So you only need to replace the C with 0x00.
