This solution was provided by **koorashi** in [this reddit post](https://old.reddit.com/r/farcry/comments/15q4en/goddamn_that_bassy_repetitive_noise_on_the_pause/c7ozuna/) from December 2012 ([web archive](http://web.archive.org/web/20220411160830/https://old.reddit.com/r/farcry/comments/15q4en/goddamn_that_bassy_repetitive_noise_on_the_pause/)).

## Instructions

Drag `FC3.dll` or `FC3_d3d11.dll` onto this program to apply the patch. A backup copy will be created with `_orig` added to the end of the file name.

Which DLL to patch depends on your video settings in-game:
* `FC3.dll` if you are using **DirectX9**
* `FC3_d3d11.dll` if you are using **DirectX11** (default)
* *(If you're unsure, then just patch both DLLs)*

### Location

The DLL file can be found in: `/bin/`.

For example: `C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Far Cry 3/bin/FC3.dll`
