So here's the scoop people: I originally bought a physical copy of Far Cry (2004) so I could use the awesome sandbox editor to my heart's content. Only did I discover later that it wouldn't run on Windows 10 because of its incompatibility with a form of DRM that Far Cry uses. At first I considered buying a different OS so I could play the game (along with other physical games I own that also won't run on 10), but I quickly realized that would be a waste of time and money. Someone eventually pointed out to me that the DRM-free version of Far Cry on GOG.com would work flawlessly on Windows 10. So I bought the game off GOG and it turns out they were right, this version of the game runs beautifully. The only problem: IT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE MAP EDITOR! I was so disappointed when I discovered this! I know this to be true because when I installed my physical copy on my computer I was still able to access the disc menu, which had the sandbox/map editor selection on it, whereas the GOG version takes me straight to the game menu, from which I can't access the map editor.

What gives? I don't understand why the editor wasn't included with this version.

I looked at my GOG installation of Farcry and the files for the editor are there.

You have to run the Editor.exe file that comes with the game.

Use whatever they call "My Computer" or "File Explorer" in Windows 10.

Go to your Far Cry installation directory, specifically here: Far Cry/Bin32 directory. All of the executable programs for Far Cry are in that folder, including the Editor.exe file.

Then, if you want, you can manually create a shortcut to the editor on your desktop, menu, or wherever else you prefer.

Followed your instructions and found the editor; opened it and it seemed to work. Thanks. I'm going to try it out before I mark this question as answered, though.
