I dont know how to post this because apparently the problem it's just about one game but there I go:

I just obtained the game a few days ago and I got some graphic issues in the game. When I'm playing, whatever the moment is I got this weird squared shadow front of me while I'm walking. It's like there's is an invisible just over the ground what has this weird shadow... I've tryed chaing the directx setting (9 and 11) and changing graphic settings to low but the shadow won't dissapear, anyone does know how to fix this? I thought I got artifacts and my graphic card was broken but I tryed so many games even Far Cry 2 and all of them runs perfectly so I discard my graphic as the problem. I let you some pictures so I hope u can help me!

As you see in all pictures there is this squared shadow. In last pick its a little bit difficult to see it but there is it under the vehicle and inside the crosshair.

So, do u know something about that or how to fix it?

I got an i3-4130, HD 5850 Xtreme, Asrock H81M, 4GBs DDR3, 500GBs HDD and I usually play in ultra/high settings at 1366x768!

Greetings!
 
Sounds like it's just the one game, so check for patches and apply it/them as required (if the game is on Steam it'll automatically be updated).
Check the graphics drivers are the latest WHQL certified ones, don't use Beta drivers when troubleshooting or you could easily just substitute one problem for another. 😉
 
Hi. I have installed all updates and I just noticed that: the problem disappear if I open the game through farcry3_d3d11.exe but the FPS drop very hard... but If I open the file farcry3.exe and configure the DX to 11 I got high fps but the shadow issue appears.. so... what can be the problem?
 
Ok now I see. I always have running the game through farcry3.exe and I usually to edit the settings to change to DX9/11 but this never worked because the farcry3.exe its only for DX9 so it doesn't matter if you change to DX11 because it won't change. DX11 game has their own .exe.

So I localized the main problem: DX9. In DX11 the shadow simply disappears.. just like my fps hahahaha so what is the problem? the graphic card? the dx installed? :\
