Ubisoft released Patch 1.02 for Far Cry 3 on PC in early December 2012, addressing problems across multiplayer, co-op, the Map Editor and the single-player campaign.
The multiplayer changes included improved matchmaking for both multiplayer and co-op modes. Ubisoft also improved team balancing when playing in a party and fixed problems affecting user-created maps with more than eight players.
Patch 1.02 addressed a specific Map Editor crash that could occur at launch when a player’s Windows username contained language-specific characters.
Several single-player problems were corrected as well. One fix prevented players from falling through the game world while they were not connected to Ubisoft’s servers.
The update also fixed the “View Leaderboard” and “Start Trial” buttons on the World Map, addressed leaderboard problems and improved stability when quitting the PC version to the desktop.
Patch 1.02 was one of several updates Ubisoft released for Far Cry 3 following its 2012 launch. Further PC patches continued addressing multiplayer, stability and gameplay problems. In March 2013, Ubisoft released another Far Cry 3 gameplay patch that introduced several fan-requested changes across the single-player and multiplayer modes.
