Downgrading Far Cry 3 From v1.06 to v1.05

On May 28th, prior to their release of Far Cry 3 Classic for the consoles, Ubisoft decided they were also gonna patch their Far Cry 3 PC counterpart after 5+ years. This pretty much broke some mods. And unfortunately, unless you have a copy of FC3 that's earlier than 1.06 or a copy of it that hasn't been updated yet for whatever reason, you cannot reverse this.

Until now anyway.

Most of the actual changes of the v1.06 patch are actually perfectly fine. Except for these two: common.fat and common.dat located in the data_win32 folder of your Far Cry3 installation. But in order to fix this, you need a copy of common.fat and common.dat that is from a v1.05 copy of Far Cry 3 or earlier. That is what I aim to fix.

I uploaded the needed files there. Just copy and paste the needed files and you're done.

I can't tell you how long I've had to work to find out what exactly was causing the problem.
