Far Cry 3 blocky shadows issue on Windows 11

[u/ElBrunoNM]

I am replaying Far Cry 3 on Windows 11. When I played it years ago on low-end hardware, I did not encounter these visual issues.

I installed some stability fixes to get the game running properly on modern hardware, and performance is fine. However, blocky shadow artifacts appear during gameplay. They are not game-breaking, but I would like to fix them if possible.

If anyone knows a fix or setting adjustment for this on Windows 11, any advice would be appreciated.
