My error said "Could not retrieve version number, Installation will be aborted" but that is from the Steam version.
I think electronic versions need to get a different patch.

[Lugabuga]

How come you've still not fixed the widescreen chopping issue (That removes the top and lower part of the screen to stretch it out)?

You'd think something that affects what you acually see (and not just tech issues) would get a priority.

[Hudspath79]

I thought Steam did the update on its own?

[asonne1]

Patch 1.01 broke the community FOV fix 3.0, and you did not come up with You're own fix, Something that with an SDK or You're source code etc could be fixed in a matter of hours.

Fix it for godsake and stop being lazy.

[john_chi]

NOTHING has changed for me! I still get BSODs/video driver crash after splash screen.

So after nearly two weeks of not even being able to play the game I was excited about this new patch. Got the game patched up, Far Cry 2 splash screen comes on and BANG! Video Card driver crash! So I decided to try it again, this time I ran the benchmark first, that was able to load fine. So I start the game again, this time it actually loaded all the way to the start menu. I went to options to change my resolution to 1680x1050, then hit APPLY and guess what happens? Game is stuck for a few seconds with music still running and then BSOD!

My system specs -
Windows XP SP3
Intel Core 2 Duo
Nvidia 7950 GX2 with the latest 178.24 drivers
2GB RAM

I believe I should be able to run this game. UBISOFT PLEASE FIX YOUR PRODUCT!

[CowChris]

Platform: PC, Windows Vista 64-bit
Graphics: Nvidia 9800 GTX
Drivers: GeForce Release 180.43

Symptom:

Previously experiencing intermittent crash/blue screen upon loading the game prior to 1.01.
Disabled "visual themes" to fix.

Have installed 1.01 - go to Continue mission, it goes through about 2 or 3 loading screens and then it freezes up, unable to press Num Lock, Caps Lock etc...constant HDD read light present. After 3 or 4 minutes, computer reboots.

Hope this helps.

[the_pusher.]

My resolution defaults to 1440x900, and I can't change it to anything else.

I was playing at 1680x1050.

[PanterA666CFH]

The patch hasn't resolved any of my particular issues.

Framerate still stutters every 3-4 seconds, extremely annoying, only way to stop this is to limit the framerate to 30 fps from the console using gfx_MaxFPS 30 command.
This problem occurs during the benchmark itself too, my PC averages 50fps with Ultra Settings and 2xFSAA.

There is still no proper wide screen support in the game, just plain lazy if you ask me. Especially when a 3rd party application can make this work (but not with this new 1.01 patch, bloody hell)

I also cannot join the Multiplayer servers if I have my anti-spyware application, StopZilla running, I have to quit that application and stop the StopZilla service.

Still no proper server browser in the game for multiplayer, I guess that would be asking too much.

Still a crap load of issues, seems like most of the communitys problems have been ignored, what bollox.

My system specs:
Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit
Intel E8400 @ 3.0ghz
HIS Radeon HD4870 512mb
4Gb GSkill Pi DDR2 (1100)

Seriously though, this is a bit disappointing, yet I will continue to cling to the remaining faith I have that FC2 will become the greatness that it can become.

V-Sync is broken now i get 100+FPS(while looking at sky) and V-Sync is on (60Ghz refresh rate)

when the game starts in windowed mode with resolution 1680X1050 and you press Alt+Enter to make it full screen the resolution switches to 1280X800... (which is the resolution of the windowed mode)
AND when i change it to 1680X1050 the resolution just doesn't work and stays at 1280X800

it works in compabillit(?) with windows xp service pack 2) but than i don't have dx10 http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

[HedsteemWup]

It broke the Multiplayer...Server and Client.


I had to revert back to 1.0 to even see my server i have hosted since day one.

Also No Dedicated servers show up, there is No IP addy's Listed and All the Pings are 9999

my game ran well but after the patch it has gone to ****, lost points and it crashes(pc version)

Nice one, fix widescreen and dedicated server now, bwhind a router dedi server dont work with 9000-9060 open.

[Moonbogg]

Rather than let us join a game already in progress, like everyone asked for, you simply made games in session invisible!?!?! Are you KIDDING!?!?!

FOV widescreen fix doesn't work anymore. Why aren't you letting us use our widescreen monitors Ubi??

This is really really terrible. I have never seen anything like this before. Totally ignoring all requests.
I was able to join a multiplayer game, and STEAM updated far cry 2 sucessfully. Still very dissapointed.

[Knacki1978]

Why was the borked FOV not fixed? It can't be that hard to implement a correct widescreen support in an official way.

Furthermore the workaround fix from the community also does not work anymore.

A disappointment.

[Mach58]

I've waited 2 weeks to play this game. Thrilled to see the patch. Loaded the game and the same freeze after the 3rd load screen. Tried it again and rebooted my computer. I must say this is an improvement. It reboots automatically now. Before the patch I had to do it manually.

Uninstalled and reinstalled. Same freeze as before. Sure would be nice to play the game, because Best Buy will not refund my money!

Raide,
With the new patch v1.o1, I noticed I now cannot hear the engine of the jeep or the door opening/closing at the safe house. Also, not able to hear the enemies gunfire. My sound card is a Diamond Multimedia 7.1.

[jfodder]

STILL No widescreen fix.


Pathetic.

Previously mentioned, but it also stops the FOV fix from working. I'ts not too surprising, as those FOV fixes are typically broken when the game version changes, but it's a reminder of just how stupid UBI has been on the issue.

Once again i'm sure Racer_S will come up with a fix long before the dough-headed developers will get off their collective arse to do anything about it.

I don;t understand it: it's a hot-ish topic in many places and it such an EASY fix to implement... if it was difficult to do maybe i could understand, but if ONE guy that's NOT even being paid to do it can get one out in a matter of days why should it take WEEKS for people that ARE paid to do it?

Someone needs a reality slap.

PS - the money that i got back from my pre-order for Far Cry 2 (thank DRM for that) I'm going to give to Racer_S next payday.

[REMORSELESS]

Save game/change AA mode Crash To Desktop, completely randomly.
Car/Jeep collision sounds are EXTREMELY loud now, much louder than they were and when shooting the sound is really soft and are accompanied by strange popping noises, not sound card b/c I played GRAW PC co-op with a friend both before and after.
Random FPS drops after random amounts of time playing.
When driving, especially in desert, big *** black line in the shape of a V in front of car moving along the ground, presumably loading the textures in, but annoying as all get out.
FOV killing the game...

Specs below, using WHQL Driver 178.24 on video card.

[Auscleaver]

Since patching I'm getting a video glitch that shows a long line extending from the top of all weapons. This makes it hard to use the iron sights and is very annoying. It is also appearing when in a vehicle. How do I roll back to the previous version without having to reinstall? I'd prefer not to have to start again as I'm upto 80% through the Stormode. Have just noticed that the centre channel on the 5.1 sound is nearly absent - for a game that relies on listening to whats going on around you, this sux. Have to look wawy during scripted scenes or when trying to listen to something. All was good before the patch - Roll back please!

Cheers

[xXMorticianXx]

As soon as I saw it wasnt that big I knew not to expect anything special. But come on now, we have how many issues plaguing this game since literally Day 1 and how many posts within these forums explaining all the issues and this is what we geta for a patch?

Ok... I can understand this being the first of hopefully many patches but what in this list of fixes is/was really necessary compared to the hundreds (if not thousands) listed in threads all over the place on here? honestly I think there are way more pressing issues at hand and the patch is utterly useless... come on now, 42MB and it takes all but 2 secs to install... almost seems as if its not doing anything (oh wait let me correct myself... it made all the pings on servers 9999... did someone request this as a fix?) outside of that, I dont see this patch having done a thing.

And yea... what is the deal behind not showing Ranked matches now? Is this what your Devs call a fix, versus actually doing some work and listening to 99.9% of the community who recommend the ability to join an already started match? I swear I need to keep my mouth shut because it seems that every time I say to myself "I seen it all now"... I see something new and not to intelligent.

I have the STEAM version and the patch installed through steam correctly. I was able to play a multiplayer game. Hopefully this helps identify whatever problem you have suffered.

PS....WIDESCREEN SUPPORT PLEASE

[athenian]

I don't see any pings next to the match name, Ranked or Player.

Why can't Ranked servers have a custom name like the Player Match servers?

[Volgore]

I am hearing random popping and snapping noises in the game, Alot of other people are having the same exact problem.

Example: When driving a vehicle and going forwards to backwards quickly, I hear a snap after the breaks squeel and the screen jerks a little.

Also some gunshots from AI cause popping and snapping, it's totally random.

All of this didn't start to happen until the 1.01 patch was installed.

I'd also like the mouse acceleration/menu lag and FOV fixed for widescreen. Widescreen is what everyone has these days.

[beavermatic]

Anyway we can get the patch files in a non-installershield format? just the directory/files that need to be overwritten?

I run a dedicated FC2 server, and I can only access my server via a web ftp-like interface of the game directory, and I cannot run the .exe from this. I have to upload the patched files over the old.

I was able to extract the .exe installer, but theres still some .cab files that i cannot extract (data1.cab and dat2.cab)

Please help!

[Moonbogg]

tried joining custom match, and there hardly is any. Since we still can't join a game in progress, thee are hardly any games available. Since started games are hidden, it just looks like there aren't any servers. Look slike multiplatyer is really dying out. They all show a ping of 9999. I tried to join one and I crashed to desktop without message or anything. This is the weakest multiplayer experience ever.

Lets have a holocaust against console kids. Stupid simple-minded noobs are ruining the PC gaming platform.

[Kokorotdrol]

Thx for the patch ubisoft im glad to see you guys are hard at work but the patch just made things worst? Atleast your working on it, but atleast fix the multiplayer for now, the thing is... Cod4's multiplayer started to increase after about 1month-2months after release, so ubisoft stil got a chance to fix it and make more money cuz the people dont wanna buy a bugged game, but when cod5 is going to be released its going to be to late http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/51.gif u got about 10 days left ubisoft!

[lienard]

I know it wasn't meant to be fixed in the patch,
but I'd like to say I still get the stutters in dx10. Affects single player game mostly.

neeeeed a fix for this already... and the FOV fix. wow... cmon.... how is that not part of the first patch?

[doctorfootwear]

first off i would like to say that my system is more than adequate to run the game.i run it @ ultra high DX9 @ 1920x1080 on a 46in lcd with 16x AF and no AA and i average between 30 to 60 frames(vsync on).the only real problem im having is random crashes to desktop with no error message of any kind.somtimes i can play for hours with no crash and other times it crashes in just minutes.currently im runnig vista premium 64bit but the same thing happens when I tried running it under xp32bit.Right now im using 180.43 driver's but I get the same results with 178.24.Also you can call it a coincidence but after the patch the crashing seemed to get a lot worse.If anyone else is having similar issues please say something so maybe the good people at UBI will find the problem and fix it.

game working good before the patch f-ed me. can not get full screen 1680X1050 any one know how to fix it

I don't read :

'fixed a random game stopping crash while playing single player'

Good work on the patch. Thanks. Next-up fix for widescreen and DX10 stutters please.

[badarrs]

First line of patch says

- Server's IP address now displays in lobby, beside the match's name (for direct IP join to work)

I do not see any address in the lobby,in the Match Lobby,maybe im looking in the wrong spot.

Is there another V1.01,cause the patch notes are for 1.01 and i have 1.01 so if there is a different 1.01 then i would like a link to that 1.01 and not a link to this 1.01 that has the wrong 1.01 patch notes.

Is Direct connect working for any1?i can hit ~ key and get the IP address i connect to and tried it on a few different servers,search match failed every1.

[trgzbaby]

2 new 'bugs'
1) a thread I started re my menu prob:
Patch 1.01 new bugs (http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/1521068375/m/3581092207)
basically I now have a very unresponsive mouse in the menus and it seems to have started since patch 1.01 - coping by navigating as much as poss by keyboard.
2) I was using FOV fix (ver3) to overcome the crippled FOV when playing 1680*1050 but this now no longer compatible - I appreciate that it's a 3rd party app and that UBI has no requirement to resolve this but it's an annoyance. The obvious solution is to properly support widescreen monitors by increasing horizontal FOV and not reducing vertical, very, very simple.

Apart from these two new bugs I still experience these in 1.01:
a) odd drops in framerates from time to time - alt-tab out of the game & back fixes prob,
b) I'm suffering with the inability to 100% succesfuly re-map my keys. Re-mapped 'show map' key, to 'n', only works in cars with the default '5' working when on foot; remapped 'interact' key, to 'f', works fine to use gun turrets but doesn't work when trying to leave gun turrets and I have to use 'e' to exit,
c) change seat key doesn't work in boats at all.

Otherwise the game plays quite well, and I'm quite enjoying it, and I've yet to encounter any of the storyline bugs that have been posted.
FYI running nVidia 180.43 drivers

[FSCB]

yeah so ppl still want their FOV and DX10 issues fixed. fair enough.
but the fact that this patch does not have a fix for the random crashes that occur for many pc ppls, makes this patch 100% undeniably useless.
basically, UBI devs/programmers shouldnt be paid for the last 2 weeks of work...because all they could come up with was a ~40MB POS and a confirmation that there will be a "patch" for predatory animals!!! (which i cant see, like many others, cos the game has CTD). McStooge.

Did Ubi think it was only fair to share the Crash to Desktop with those of us who weren't experiencing it?

****Multiplayer BUG****:
Enemy viewing loadout does not die until coming out of loudout screen.
***********************

Last night some clan mates and I were playing and having a great time. I had the Dragonov sniper and a clan mate on the other team was standing about 15 feet away. I pull up my scope and start shooting him in the chest...he doesn't die....I shoot him in the head 3 times, nothing....another clan member is shooting him, nothing. Finally, he falls over dead and we say "WTC?! You wouldn't die." And he responded saying that we was viewing his loadout.

Everytime I use a ladder or get out of a car or get of of a bus and hit save I through a grenade or malatov cocktail. This started after the patch.

[XWingFighter]

Remaping keys does still not work correctly. Only way to exit a turret (a normal one or one on a car) is to use "e", no matter if you redefined that function or not.
Also redifing the "play tape"-key or one of the multiplayer functions (like chat, team-chat, yes, no and so on) corrupts the redefined-key-config. For exampe: After setting up different keys for those funtions, numpad 0 does not work any longer. - But it did befor changeing this functions.
So my suggetion is to completly rework the key-setup part of the option section.

Patch causes my pc to lock up at loading screen whilst trying to join an online game and I need to press the restart button. Following this Windows won't boot. Using a boot cd and repairing windows is the only way to get back up and running.

See my post HERE (http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/1821007696/m/1651006107?r=7201067207#7201067207) for full details of issue and system.

This thread (http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/1821007696/m/1651006107/p/1) indicates a number of people have OS destroyed by FC2.


I believe people with problems like this have something wrong with their OS in the first place. Close those millions of background apps from running and maybe the stupid game will actually function for you. FC2 fragged my HD and OS...pshhh, give me a damn break.

Hi all.
The patch actually did a lot to make my single player game run more smoothly. Also the lighting is much better. Before the patch inside the buildings was so dark that I couldnt see. There seem to be alot more animals running around now. So on the single player game the patch has done good things.

However on the MP... I still get the error message "The Far Cry 2 Server is unavailable at this time. Please try again later" over and over again. Can someone please help me with this.

Yeah....get your @$$ on teamspeak and we'll help you man. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

[Brag321]

I have no technical problems with the Patch but it still didn't add the proper widescreen support, the current one stil crops my FOV... which means I wont be playing Far Cry 2 untill next patch, let's hope they fix it soon.

[hydrogennz]

Everyone just keep positive and keep voicing your opinions on what you want improving with the game. They (Ubisoft) will get the message and we will eventually get the great game that Far Cry 2 should have been from the start.

Yes I know it sucks that it let all our high expectations down but, oh well that is the way the cookie crumbles sometimes.

But keep up the pressure and keep up the great feedback and we can forget about this whole debacle in no time http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif.

yeah ryt...McNoob.
When you can run games such as COD4, crysis, COH, GRID flawlessly, I think the requirements of FC2 are petty in comparison. and yet, FC2 does not work. my pc? other ppls "faulty" pcs? not likely. try lack of QA.
definitely programming/QA for a pc is harder than for console...since pcs come in so many flavours. and COD4 and crysis had their fair share of issues as well, but to have a game that simply does not work is a disaster.

and most likely the game runs on your machine because it is an outdated, stripped-back POS with nothing on it that can cause whatever conflict is occurring.

anyways, i hope UBI work it out, like others, i havent been able to use FC2 other than as a drink coaster for the past 2.5wks.

no matter, only a few days left til COD5 comes out. It might be treyarch, but shud still be boss.

Last night my SP game didnt show any affects such as fire, rpg launch, explosions etc etc. will try this again tonight to see if it was maybe a fluke. I noticed the key binding for the hanglider are adjustable but i cant find where to do it, as of yet and i didnt test to see if its bound with the other vehicles....

would it be possible for UBI to make a game monitor that observes whats happening system wise when the game is running, what settings the person has, and his hardware spec. logs that information and allows an upload error report so Ubi has ALL the information needed to know exactly why people get random desktop crashes, BSOD, and sound/video errors. sepnd some money doing that and you will have ALL the information you need to narrow down the problems as being hardware related or driver.

as for random crash to desktop I have yahoo messenger running in the background, Yahoo tends to notify when someone comes online or goes offline. anyone else with a random crash to desktop have Yahoo or any other messenger running at the same time as FC2? could be a conflict issue.

I tried reading all the posts here in this thread but i got tired of reading all the insults, maybe instead of flaming, post good information that will help the developers both in knowing information about your system specs, background software running, the exact error(s) including whats written on the BSOD screen, driver info pertaining to what part of the sytem where the error is. and maybe a thank you or 2 for the attempt at patching.

Thanks Ubi, the patch seems to have fixed my random save files from being crash to desktop files.

my system specs according to CPUZ:
short: http://wtf-squad.net/cpuz.htm (html dump file)
long: http://wtf-squad.net/cpuz.txt (registers dump)

maybe a registers dump while im in game with errors may help?

The system was a new build about a week old. The OS was a clean install which was then fully updated. No other apps had been installed, there were no instant messengers etc installed let alone running.
FC2 was the first game installed on the system, although having repaired the OS I have installed other games to test the system which works without issue on everything I tried except FC2.

I believe the issue lies within FC2, bear in mind the system played SP FC2 ok before the patch.

played again and all affects are back and working perfect, no random crashes to desktop and all saves are good. got my a$$ shot up a few times and had to reload last save and no issues(15 saves using each type). patch worked in that respect and im thinking the missing affects was a video card issue. I reloaded one of those saves and affects were there so I could not reproduce the problem, so bug may have been on my end.

for SP the random crash to desktop issue seems to have been fixed for me, hope others as well.

anyhow i stopped testing and started playing considering i could! and I do belive there is more than 55 hours of SP gameplay as was advertised, testing the patch in a new game and so far new yet familiar content. good job UBI! yet shouldve had a public beta to find the many problems and the many suggestions. as of now i hope the checkpoints can be cleared for around 24 game hours. if anything a trickle back of guards during 24 hours and only at the 24th hour have the vehicle useable.

anyway patch worked to fix my random crshes and bad save files. as for the hanglider yet to test controls.

I'm almost always interested in single player only, and this patch mostly fixes mp issues. Anyway, I installed Far Cry 2 (yes, with a NO-CD .exe file) a week ago, so I only started to play -got no further yet than repairing the car-. Video (1680x1050, settings Very High, XP32, DX9). Game ran smoothly (fps 25-50), sound also ok (old SB 'live' card). As far as I can tell, game runs stable. If something would go wrong, video/sound wise, one should notice right away.
Anyway, installed patch, sound & music went haywire, only hissing and brrrrrrrrr sounds, uninstalled game, re-installed, no patch applied, game was perfect again...any other people here who's sound malfunctioned after the patch?

u havent uploaded (or maybe dont even know that u can upload) ur system specs thru the ubi support page, have u? so wat r u talking about? i sent my dxdiag 2 weeks ago when the game came out, so there is nothing left to do other than wait and vent. im sure many others have sent their system specs thru ubi support page, seeing as this thread only started a few days ago.

oh yeah, thanks ubi for my $90 worth of lost cause.

Could someone point me to an example...maybe I am missing out on something.
It's fairly simple, the game reduces the height of the image in order to create a widescreen view rather than increasing the width - the result is that you actuall see less with a widescreen monitor. It's a pig running around with a map as it seems to block most of your vision.
Check out the second post on this forum Widescreen gaming forums (http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14737&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0) also in this forum Cut Down Screen (http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums?a=tpc&f=1521068375&m=6911036696&r=4421036696#4421036696)

Pathetic. Couldn't even fix the widescreen issue in 2 weeks. UBI programmers are ******s that don't deserve to be near a computer. Why couldn't you guys just delay the game for PC by a month and fix all these issues?! It is much worse delivering a piece of crap than being honost and tell the community that you are not ready to release it.

Bought the game tonight, updated drivers prior to game install, auto-patch did its thing, reboot PC prior to game launch.

Shut down firewall/anti-virus, win firewall off, launch game and log into multiplayer, went into a quick game, game hung up during load, could not alt/tab to windows, needed to reboot PC.This happened three times, happened once as attempted to back out of a server.

Attempted to host, game runs but no one can connect, all ports opened as needed, no router to deal with, ping of 88 (as seen by other players). Same issue for four other players, they could launch the server but nobody could connect to them, all had ping under 100.

We had hoped for a more favorable start to this game, the impression is the game was rushed, to bad as it had potential.

I am still having problems to connect to online games after this patch you released today. This is a real let down.

Hey all, by the looks of it FC2 was released to early hence all the problems >.<
I 2 have been having problems with FC2, 1: when i go to join an online match sometimes it will crash with a continuos loading circle and music, or it will let me in a game and then kick me straight out again.
2: Map Editor: i can load this fine, but when i go to place anything down, my mouse cursor will fly across the map editor, when all i have done is clicked my mouse, also if i press the right mouse button to change the camera angle, the camera will look straigt up at the sky and i cant move the camera away. Ihave tryed different mice and drivers, but with no success.
So now all i have is campaign, which lets face it isnt amazing.
BTW i downloaded the game for 49.99euros
(wish i brought it in a shop now, that way i could send it back easily)
Ive tryed to patch it but i get an error message. I hope Ubisoft get their *** in gear, this is turning out to be a real dissapointment.

The next Patch is coming.
Too bad doesnt look like they are fixing much:


- Allow player to select display mode for Widescreen view in the display options
- Improve server list with filter options (ping, punkbuster, server name, maps, game mode, dedicated server...)

Multiplayer
- Allow match search from the maps leaderboard
- Add minimum players setting in host options
- Order scoreboard by point
- Add an option to set respawn time for the host
- Show VIP on scoreboard
- Allow PC user to use Clan tag
- IP display in the lobby server

Server
- Add new functions to dedicated server
- Allow the same server to host more than one game at a time

[john_chi]

Maybe the fact that this new patch will support widescreen means less BSODs? I mean BSODs are usually caused by the video driver crashing, and this might do something about the way the game works with the video card.

As it states in the update about the patch, not all of the features being fixed were listed. So, looks like there will be more included, let's hope it is further connectivity fixing and this game will be back on track for sure...as these are the chief complaints.

im waiting when ubisoft will repair crashes to deskop always after 1 hour of playing.
Very annoying.

[badarrs]

Couple things i wish were different/fixed.When i chat and L is in sentence it goes to load screen,and i gotta get out of there,hit chat key again and continue,kind sucks.Also the position of the info box,like voting/results of voting,if that could be at the top of the screen it would be great,or even a few seconds less time on the screen would work,that sucks also.1 more.Uprising captain random Sucks.It seems to always choose the lowest level meaning the captain is a noob most of the time,yes voting helps But it can be very slow,maybe after vote to change to actual change be a little faster.A better NOtification of Whom is captain would be nice for the team,a seperate notify TO the captain himself would help also,most people dont know they are captain till every1 is yelling at them.Hope this is the right place for this and UBI will at least consider these,if not sorry.MP is pretty fun fast action pace,i think they did a very good job!

[jcmorgado]

Lol

This is for laughting..

the patch came out quickly and smouthly,
and what realy is fixed????

I do not know do you???


cause the game as far as I know by my own experience still doesn't run past the third intro starting screen and still loads for a century until I get sick of it and reset my PC...That by the way it's the only way to get
of the loading part...

I am woundering if UBI it's laughting of us right now!

I think so...we are the sad guys that bought ther unfinished game...

If we had Ba*** we would stop buying games to this sad A***s and I bet they would start caring
a litlle more professionaly about ther releasing products...

God I am furiouse with this game...

[jzimmer763]

The only soulution they have come up with for this problem is to disable sound card.
The game does start but a lot is lost without sound. What to do? Thought about kicking the charge back on my credit card.

yea I know what you mean!

So ther solution is to cut off the sound of
my Sound Blaster Xtreme gammer to play ther
beauty game in silence!...LOL

We are back in the 30's when movies were silent
and we had a piano in background for sound !

Maybe next they will ask us to by a piano as well!



Thankfully I have bought it in a store,
so tommorow its changing by a real game
that works and certanly its not from UBI !

Game wont start up now... Sometimes i get the option to continue my game... and then it goes back to windows. No error messages, nothing in log files... just stop running. Other times it already stops during start up. Get the logo far cry 2, and then it starts up in windowed size, instead of fullscreen. no matter what size i choose... then i use alt+enter to get fullscreen and shortly after it stops.
Had no problems before update. Now i can only play it in windowed format. And not even the real size i choose in the game.....
It S.cks...

Game lag problem after 20-30 minutes gameplay still cannot be solved, expect 1.02 gamepatch

[joshg46]

Just intalled the game and patch. It defaults to 800X600. When I change the resolution it shrinks to a small window that can NOT be resized. I am running Vista and DX10. Im sure there ia a simple fix to this. Can anyone help?

After the patch i can't start either the game nor the Editor.
As i see it, there is no problem with our computers nor setups, this is a software bug. If the game worked well before the patch, the software team has only one thing to do...fix it. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif Lot of work and not easy to find the glitch, lot's of testing, I know, I do this too for a living, but for cellular 3G basestations.

So after nearly two weeks of not even being able to play the game I was excited about this new patch. Got the game patched up, Far Cry 2 splash screen comes on and BANG! Video Card driver crash! So I decided to try it again, this time I ran the benchmark first, that was able to load fine. So I start the game again, this time it actually loaded all the way to the start menu. I went to options to change my resolution to 1680x1050, then hit APPLY and guess what happens? Game is stuck for a few seconds with music still running and then BSOD!

My system specs -
Windows XP SP3
Intel Core 2 Duo
Nvidia 7950 GX2 with the latest 178.24 drivers
2GB RAM

I believe I should be able to run this game. UBISOFT PLEASE FIX YOUR PRODUCT!



I had this problem with Assassins Creed. The GPU is getting stuck in a loop process, so it keeps crashing. You could try downloading the file " nv4loopfix ", just google it, this helps. It turned out that there was a problem with the graphics drivers on the original disk that came with my graphics card. I am running an ASUS EN8500GT. The problem is with ASUS. I Had to completely uninstall everything related to my GPU and make sure the registry is devoid of all traces, then just install the most up to date drivers from NVidia & it should run sweet as a nut. Hope this helps.

I'm in the south and have completed 2 UFLL missions and 2 APR missions (65% game completion). I went to the UFLL for the 3rd mission and the doorman gave me a mission to "Free the captive from the locked structure in the Dogon Sediko".

I went there and found the door, but the 'open door' hand icon does not appear. I can't open the door and can't complete the mission. This also means I'm stuck and can't continue with the game!

I had previously been to that house in the Dogon Sediko village (2 or 3 times before) to rescue the buddy, but was unable then as well(same reason).

I think this is a bug and I'd like to see it fixed in the next patch. I'd really like to be able to continue the game.

Other people have this issue as well:

I have the DVD version of the game and have not been able to play it at all! After installation SecuROM window popped open and complained about something about that i cannot check the date. I guess this had to do something with those pirate versions, it probably tried to check if i am trying to play the game before the actual publication date, right?

Next thing was to actually connect my PC to internet (not normally connected because i do not play multiplayer games) and the game did automatically the update procedure and fetched a patch. Now the problem is that SecuROM is complaining that i am running something called emulator. WTF?
The game DVD is genuine, and i do not run any trick nor hack nor crack SWs, why should i?

Maybe i should run those crack SWs and do use pirated FC2, it could work better than this crap.

I did SecuROM log file and send it to them, but havenät heard anything back, they too are lazy and incompetent.

Hello all,

I cant play the game in DirectX 10 mode. All is fine in DirectX 9 but when I set 10 and restart the game, it slows down to a crawl, right off the bat, intro and all. I have Fraps and it reports 0 to 1 frame per second. If I press Alt+Enter, it goes into windowed mode and all is well with the frame rate but, I play in a smaller window and can see my desktop in the background. Isn't there a way to get full screen mode in DirectX 10? I definitely do not want to play in a small window like that! It doesnt feel right and it takes away from the feeling of the game bigtime!

My system specs are:

Intel quad core Q6600 @ 2.4GHZ
Nvidia 8800 GTS 640MB
8GB RAM
Windows Vista ultimate x64

[RattlerGL]

I forgot to mention...

This problem is present both with and without the patch.

[thunderchurch]

I seem to recall reading somewhere that this patch isn't suggested for SP becuase the AI can see through rocks and walls... Is this the case? Sorry I can't find where I read that. I have downloaded the patch, just about everytime I load the game, but have not patched.

Can someone confirm or deny that 1.01 is not a good SP patch?

[neilthecellist]

This game is epic fail. Came with my EVGA GTX 260. Wish it hadn't so I could save $69.99 on the card.

The patch itself? Makes the game even worse. Yes, the AI can now see through rocks and trees (how do patches CREATE bugs? Only ubisoft... and bioware now, but at least bioware fixes them)

Absolutely no real widescreen support still ticks me off.

Why is that when we pointed out that Far Cry 2 was going to have these problems BEFORE the game was released, our threads posts were locked and deleted?

Now that the game is out, people can finally see how terrible this game really is. Getting Far Cry 2 to run on Windows XP is a pain to begin with, not to mention all the problems that patch has now created.

AMD Phenom 9850 X4 Quad Core 2.5 ghz
EVGA GeForce GTX 260 896mb PCI-Express 2.0
4 GB RAM 1066 mhz DDR 3
Windows XP Service Pack 2

running on 1680 x 1050 resolution, game looks worse than Crysis. The promotional screenshots are OVERHYPED.

Poor stereo-3D support.

Poor widescreen support.

Poor patch support.

Conclusion: This game fails. Going to give it to my friend soon. It would be an insult to sell a Ubisoft game to a friend in my town.

i have the exact same computer setup with the exact same problem.. interesting

[Auscleaver]

Well, I have since buying the game built a new PC that I have been planning for a few months. Now I can't play the game at all.
New PC Specs:
AMD Phenom quad @ 2.4Ghz
ASUS EAH4870/512DDR5
4GB RAM
Game starts up into the intro movie and just before the end of it the system crashes and then restarts the computer. I'm currently playing COD4, TDU ARMA and other games that run beautifly. I feel a new patch is in order!!! The standard of new games on PC at the moment is craptastic and FAILS!

[neilthecellist]

No, it's just Ubisoft games.

If you've tried BioShock (2K Games) or Mass Effect (BioWare Inc.) then you know what a good PC game is.

[plc222]

They should have just released the source code and sold the game for $5.
I knew there were issues, and was suprised that it actually ran on my computer (Crysis ran very well).

Great game, but it is a clue when options menus seem as designed by a 6 -year old.
And no ability to map "Keypad Enter" ?

Is it just me or does anyone else find this topic useless now since 1.02 is out. lol

Still not sure why it's even a sticky anymore.

Yeah.. im searching for the release date for the next patch.. I need hardcore mode, and some joinin progress type stuff.

Major bug every time I come accross this gaurd post the npc is shooting me from inside the rock and is impossible to kill.

[plc222]

Yeah, that happens sometimes. I was SO confused , running all around this one outpost, running out of health, knocking crap over trying to get to bottles of health and blowing everything up looking for him. He was a sniper in a rock mostly hidden. I kept moving until i got enough of his arm or some body part (leg?) out of the rock and shot him. Try other things to kill him though (fire? grenades?)... just shooting him is kind of boring after all that .. but i just wanted to stop the madness LOL

Hey I am going to check that post ...it may be the one i could not unlock ... http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif thanks for the reminder

[elbmek]

Already mentioned elsewhere then I noticed this thread. Driving and crash - no game! Heading south, just after Slaughter, alongside railway and bumf! Hello Desktop. The same has just happened whilst on my mission for Voorheldt (sp?)to Port Seleo. Id this a well known bugg-er? It also happened whilst on my way to Mike's Bar to 'save' friends there.

Lots of talk about patches, what was the last patch out - and when?
