How to use
Please see for details how to get started and configure this photomode mod, General features and configuration. This guide will provide additional information for the controls / features specific for this photomode mod.
If you don't see the FarCry6.exe process in the Process to inject to textbox, please click the Select button to select it manually. This might be
the case if you're using the UPlay+ version. Additionally, if you're using the normal UPlay version but you're running the game as Administrator,
and the IGCSClient.exe does not, it can't see the FarCry6.exe process. In that case, restart the IGCSClient.exe as Administrator.
Environment Adjustments
The Environment Adjustments tab is the tab where you can adjust various aspects of the game world. For Far Cry 6 it allows you to control the following:
- Time of day
- Time of day controls the current world time in a 24 hour clock. When the game is paused and you move the time of day, you will see the sun move and the light change. You can also change the time of day with the keyboard (see Keybindings) which might be easier than flipping back/forth to the client to get the right sun position.
- Game speed
- This controls how fast the runs internally; a value of 1.0 is 'normal game speed' and a value of 0.0 is total pause. Use this to create slow-motion effects which help you pause the game at the right moment. Setting this to 0.0 won't completely pause the game engine as it enforces a minimum speed. To pause the game completely use the normal pause via
Numpad 0. - Disable DoF when camera is active
- This setting disables the Depth of Field when the camera is active, in cutscenes and normal gameplay (far way haze). The photomode Depth of Field is applied on top of this and isn't disabled by this setting, but you can disable that in the photomode settings.
Information recorded with camera path nodes
When you create a Camera path, each node records the camera location, orientation and field of view. Additionally to that for this game the camera node will also contain the current time of day. So if you want to have different time of day values per node, you can, just set the value you want in the client on the Environment Adjustments tab and create a camera path node.
Controls
The default photomode mod controls are listed below. It depends on the Camera control device setting on the Configuration tab whether the device (e.g. mouse or gamepad) can control the camera.

Some photomode mods don't offer Time of Day control, e.g. because the game doesn't offer this feature. In these cases these controls aren't available. ↩
