Last Resistance Add-on, or LR for short, is an extension to Far Cry which restores and enhances its online multiplayer functionality. It was developed by *RD*Krieger, Astaron, and Clivey for over 7 years, and since 6 October 2015 – the date Ubisoft discontinued support for the FC multiplayer – it has been the only way to play the online multiplayer.

The current version is LRv3.

Changes[]

FarCry Loader[]

The LR Team introduced FarCry Loader which is a program that allows to launch a desired version of the add-on or the original game itself.

Main menu[]

The main game menu has been updated and streamlined. The "Campaign" button has been removed as the singleplayer mode is not available within the LR.

Multiplayer[]

The LRv3 Multiplayer menu offers different server lists, easy to use filters, map downloads, server and player counters, server registration options and the possibility to connect over IP port addresses.

Internet (LR) Server List[]

LR provides a simple and fully up-to-date game server list where all available game servers can be found.

ServerInfo Panel[]

After connecting to a game server, a window opens that shows detailed information about the server’s configuration, the current and the next map on the server and the players/bots currently playing on the server.

Automatic Map Download[]

Before LR, maps had to be downloaded manually from websites. LR allows the player to automatically download and install maps while in the game. The program detects a missing map while a map is being changed on a server and offers to fill in the gap. The LR mapspace hosts more than 780 multiplayer maps and is being regularly added to.

Map Downloads Panel[]
