2 issues (PC Steam Ver):

1) Once i'm on a gun emplacement (mounted gun not on the truck) I can't escape. Meaning I hit the activate button on a base machine gun, and hitting the same button doesnt get me back to free movement. I tried every mapped button.

2) First time at the arms dealer near mike's i get a message saying the arms dealer is not there. i can jump on the computer but nothing new to buy. The bar is closed. Went to a safe house and tried coming back at 10pm, 12pm, 1pm, 11am and he's still not there. My objective is to 'meet with the arms dealer'. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

When i start my game not in menu just in Engine, my game freezes and the sound is lagging, But if i take the sound away it all works.

just happens in this game..

Got Asus P5k motherboard, Realtek hd, Audio Drivers v, 5.10.0.5391.
Winxp 64bit

I got no idea yet how to fix it, On asus home page there is no new realtek drivers and the one on realtek homepage i can't install because i get blue-screen while installing.

Field of view is messed up in triple display resolutions (3072x768 & 3840x1024 etc). What's the console command to adjust field of view?

Also it seems with Vista a lot of people are getting a black windowed box with sound but no graphics when first launching the game. So far people have fixed it by either disabling Aero or adjusting the Gamerprofile's resolutions and fullscreen setting.

Had the EXACT same problem with Mass Effect. Had to uninstall Vista and go back to XP. Tried 4 different sound cards including the on-board audio, removing/reinstaling drivers etc. Nothing worked. Not even the patch for ME fixed it. I was really ****ed at the time. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif Hope that's not the case for you.

I'm using the hardware triplehead2go, was hoping/assuming that since Farcry 1 and both crysis'es supported that resolution with proper aspect ratio this one would too. Once fixed it'll be great though I'm sure.

[roberellner]

Yeah it's so evil this is the only game this happend in.. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif I just hope a fix or some one know how to fix it in a week or so.

Dx10 mode, HDR is greyed out but appears to be checked. is it on? Had it setup to run HDR only with Bloom unchecked. And it resulted in a black screen with interact icons still showing up. Had to turn Bloom back on to be able to play.

Dismount a turret, I got my "numpad enter" set for interact. Yet gotta use E to leave a turret.

Vista Aero desktop issues. I got the game to run by disabling visual themes.

The game defaults to 1280x960 for me and if I try to switch to 1280x1024 it goes to black screen and have to end task.

I'm running into a major issue with lighting on ATI CrossFire. I disabled CrossFire and now it's gone away but of course I have much worse performance. The issue is that it seems the shadow from the "sun" flickers on and off. At low graphics settings this happens about 5 times a second, at high graphics settings it increases to 20+ times a second. Only disabling CrossFire helps, ingame settings don't.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I'm running the latest driver (Catalyst 8.10) because I heard it had optimizations for FC2. I may test 8.9 with hotfixes later.

Nice, that's sweet. I've used SoftTH with Oblivion and COD4, I'm hoping it works with Fallout 3 next week. :P

I dont think I can use the matrox setup since I'm on triple 24" (3x1920x1200) I don't think it can handle the bandwidth. Good luck.

Fraid it can't, 3x1650x1024 is the roof for even the digital edition. Btw I totally agree about fallout3 and based on those other two gams.

[IndoorKilla]

gotta use E to leave turret

[Deltigre]

Tried hotfix on Catalyst 8.10, no fix. Still flickers with CrossFire on.

EDIT: Now it's also cutting out regularly, goes black for 5 seconds, freezing the gameplay as well.

[Iamzero456]

Dear Ubi,

In the game, whenever I put myself on fire, I eventually die ofcourse. But when I press 'h' to slap out the fire on my arms and legs, I can manage to survive.

Here's my issue: Why can't I just jump into water to put the fire out? After swimming for a few seconds (under water) the fire is still burning on my skin and I die. Could you please fix this tiny issue to make the game a little bit more realistic?

thnx in advance,

P:S: Great Game !

1. Arrow keys do not work in multiplayer, it acts as if WASD is the only way to walk in multiplayer.

2. The sensitivity does not go low enough in-game. If there's a console command, say so!

Hi, hope this is where you want bug reports!

I'm running the Steam version of FC2, on XP Pro SP3, A64 X2 4200+ (@2.7GHz), 8800GTS 512, 2GB DDR400, and using the nv 178.13 drivers.

Getting BSODs referencing either nv4_disp.dll or Win32k.sys when loading a savegame (haven't noticed it in normal play yet). Anyone else having issues with the Steam version? Mine's also only listing ~3.5GB for the game's install size - I thought it was supposed to be ~12GB installed?

Any advice would be appreciated!

[AngryButler]

Ok, heres my situation. I play FC2 for about 20-30 minutes and my framerate drops from 60 to about 5 and the only way to fix this is to reload the engine. I dont know if anyone else is having this problem. My specs are as follows.
Vista 32
Intel Q6600
3Gig DDR2
Intel Extream Mobo
Nvidia 8800 512 GTX X2
500GigHdd
HT Claro Omega Soundcard

All drivers are updated. No crazy background tasks running. Non-Steam version.

[xXMorticianXx]

I am also having keybind issues... I setup KeyPad 7 to move to other seat in vehicle and KeyPad 4 to exit vehicle and neither work, had to map them to none KeyPad keys... whats odd though is some of the KeyPad bindings work. Very querky.

Also, can we please get the game to allow being able to run and strafe at same time? Kinda corny ya stop running just because you strafe.

Far Cry 2: Steam Version
Vista 32 (although, OS doesn't matter for this bug report)
GeForce 8800 GTX

There is an issue that several people I know have had where the game will play smoothly and then freeze for a few seconds, and then go back to playing smoothly. The freezing occurs roughly every 10 seconds.

The Windows Performance graph in the Task Manager shows the CPU usage going to 0% when these freezes occur. You can then see that the issue happens at regular, specific intervals.

This made me believe it was network related. I disabled my network card and the problem immediately went away.

My personal theory is that this is a problem with SecuRom, or another component of the game phoning home. However, that's just a theory.

I can't launch the map editor. It crashes after less than a second. I hear the music though. Sometimes i can see it, but the window is white and when i click it crashes.

I have the same problem. worked fine with old nvidia drivers but Im not sure if the problem is with these fc2 nvidia beta drivers or did I just do something I dont remember.

[jcizzle]

I had no problems installing FC2 (via Steam). Everytime I play, the game works fine for ~10-15 minutes, then crashes my computer (just instantly restarts with no warning message). I just installed the newest ATI drivers today as well as updated to Windows .NET Framework v3.5.

DX10 not working.

Lag on intro screen, Menu.

Did not test game because well no point, as its slow as hell, one frame takes up to 7 seconds to show. Took me long enough to go back and setup DX9.

Hey...
My game is working sweet except for at a short distance away i have weird rainbow colours everywhere on trees and walls untill im standing right infront of the texture then it goes to what it's supposed to be, plus it seems i have textures missing as theres little floppy disk signs on some textures and other textures just plain dont match like pink wheels im running everything maxed out with 4xAA 1680x1050 im running
CPU - Q9300
GPU - 4870x2
MEM - 4G 800mhz
MOBO - Asus p5q pro
PSU - OCZ 600w
Please help im sure the rainbow effect would be good if I were on some sort of 60's rave drug but at the moment its just killing immersion thank in advance

[Rehevkor25]

The implementation of widescreen video modes in Far Cry 2 is flawed. The game will crop and scale a 4:3 frame to make it fit a widescreen display, instead of horizontally expanding the frame like it should. This means users of widescreen displays and multi-monitor setups will be missing viewable area at the top and bottom of the frame. This has a number of negative effects on gameplay; in particular, it makes driving very difficult since the visible part of the vehicle takes up more than half of the screen height.

The overall effect is like watching the game through a mail slot... it feels claustrophobic and cramped in spite of the wide-open outdoor spaces. 2kgames made the same mistake with Bioshock, which they later corrected by adding an option to the video settings that switched the rendering from vert- (cropped 4:3 frame) to hor+ (expanded 4:3 frame). I was hoping developers had learned that this is not the correct way to do widescreen, but it looks like this practice is still hanging around... I sincerely hope Ubisoft patches this quickly, or provides a workaround of some kind.

See further discussion and comparison screenshots demonstrating the issue in this Widescreen Gaming Forum thread (http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14737).

[HeLMuT1971]

Just got the game and installed twice now. The problem is that when I launch the game nothing happens! It never starts but shows the splash screen for a brief second then nothing. It looks as if my hard drive is trying to access something but nothing is happening. Please help!

I rebinded all the keys, it works fine in SP but it is default W,S,A,D, in MP. How do I fix this I do not play with WSAD and I would like to play MP game.

Once I use a mounted machine gun on a truck or wall or where ever it's "mounted", I can't switch back off of it, I'm just stuck! I have to actually reload a "save point" and just not use a mounted gun. I've tried everything.. pushed every key on my keyboard... it's a glitch or something.

I've twice been kicked to my Vista desktop with looping audio while playing MP. I have to reboot to fix it. In game sounds are sometimes broken as well.

I got an realy realy annoying bug on FC2. After you CTRL+Tab out of the game it wont wana go back on full screen mode anymore. And thers no setup option for full screen it did work fine on full as long i dident tab out of the game now i cant get it back to full screen.

Thanks for posible assistance


I have GF8800 GT and 2x acer x243w sceens on and it has been cousing scaling problems before but usualy cliking the full screen button helps.


Ps still not fixed could not find console commands for any fullscreen/windowed adjusting.

And for the Securom thers always other ways around it its porpuse is not to protect game makers form piracy. it is to make legit game buyers life harder and second hand gaiming eaven harder. Nothing wrong to crak your legit game to get it work http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

But anyways Any helps on the Windowed mode commands? Just want it back to full screen game works 100% fine if you dont count the idotic AI.

Why thers no option button for full screen and windowed? Just wandering where did they loose it.

And after all this makes me wander why they think peapole wana buy fewer games nowdays than before atleast there was option for fullscreen usualy on the old good days...

[gamerk666]

Two major bugs so far, playing on 1280x1024 with a NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 on a Nforce 790i motherboard:

1) When loading a level/save, there is a 50/50 chance the textured will become curropted and colors will display wrong

2) Exiting the game causes the display driver to fail (missing desktop icons, black start menu bar, a system beep, then nothing happens on the screen). I can confirm the PC itself still functions, but the screen refuses to update.

In both instances, I'm using the current WHQL driver (Released on the 15th), and can confirm the issue existed in the previous version as well.

Also, one other bug, although I don't think its an ubisoft issue, but deserves to come up.

My Creative X-Fi ExtremeGamer soundcard crackles badly and starts to drop sounds after a few minutes of gameplay. My Realtek onboard sound works fine. I will also point out that I had the same exact issue with Crysis, with no known fix at this point (including manually assigning the number of sound channels).


Thats all for now. The first two bugs need to be investiaged ASAP, as I can't play the game in its current form...

EDIT:

Forgot to mention, all video options are on their max allowed settings.

[juhasuu]

Oh thers also problem whit some FC2 Server when trying to acces multiplayer profile and or MapCommunity.

i also have this error. reinstalled PB and everything.

[ebassist]

Arms dealer dissapears and will not return. I believe I may know the cause of the problem.

Upon accepting an arms dealer mission a convoy will spawn somewhere on the map. However you are free to do other missions and cancel the arms dealer one. I accepted an arms dealer mission then canceled, however on a non arms dealer mission I ran into this convoy, and as it started blowing me to pieces I fired on and destroyed it.

Since I was not on the arms dealer mission at the time, I believe the game has not correctly flagged the mission as "completed" and thus the arms dealer will not return as the game thinks his mission is not complete.

(Someones probably now gonna say the Arms Dealer dissapears until you've made certain progress, nonetheless oweing to the occurance above described (meeting his mission critical convoy not on his mission) I believe it is a bug.

[Ammoxcrew]

Running on vista 64 bit with ati radeon 3850.

I just installed new ati drivers and the hotfix.

The game opens in a window for me. I hit alt enter to get it to full screen but then i get a message saying that extended screen is only usable with crossfire or something along those lines. I can still go back to full screen but I can't get rid of the error message in the background and it's making my game stutter a lot. If I get rid of the error message I can't go to fullscreen but the game runs great. For one I'm not crossfiring and two the resolution I have chosen (1280x1024) in the settings will fit my screen. I already tried disabling visual themes too. Anybody know what to do about this?

DX10 and DX9 Issues!

I'm getting the same problem, DX10 has major stuttering problems, high fps but very choppy game play making it unplayable. Had to set it to DX9 with settings all the way up- no AA and runs average 67 FPS, 80 if no major activity. Yet still on occasion, it will dip down to very low fps outside and inside for no apparent reason, all background process killed, AERO off, and still random drops. For example early on, in one beginning area i talked to the guy who told me to fix the car, fraps read 80fps in that room, i came back to that room after i completed the mission, same room slammed to 20 fps then worked its way up to 40. Walked outside, walked back inside, 80 fps.... WTF? Any ideas? this seems to be a constant problem for people. And i would eventually like to run the game in DX10- PLZ HALP ubi!

I had this same problem and I messed around and found out a few things:

This issue only happens when you change the key mappings from their default settings. What it does is when you re-assign the button to enter a gun (default is e) to something else, it does not change the key bind to exit the gun. You can still use the default key (e) to exit the gun, but if you have assigned the e key to some other function, you will not be able to exit the gun and you will be trapped.

I had to make a ubi.com account to play the multiplayer, and it tabbed out of the game by itself, and now it doesn't go back to fullscreen. Other than that the game plays and runs great and is a great game overall. But it is just baffling why fullscreen toggle isn't included in the video settings.

[BoomSlang001]

I am very upset about this game so far. When running with Steam it would crash whenever trying to start the game on XP. I also have Vista64 and I tried loading the newest drivers and the older whql drivers but the game WONT play in DirectX 10. DX10 just makes even the intro and menus lag and take at least 2 minutes to start. It's ridiculous and unacceptable. I'll have to settle with DX9 but I shouldn't have to. Please fix this!

I have a Q6600 and a Nvidia BFG 8800GTS 512. Xp32 and Vista64. XP works fine now but Vista wont work with DX10.

I have a similar issue but I have probably half the system specs you do (below) I have no idea why a system of your caliber would be having trouble. I have crackling on my sound and lag if i enable dx10, voices get garbled badly too. I found if I turn the settings down low enough it stops and the game is playable, and what I mean by that is that it runs 25-47 FPS solid. That is good for me seeming crysis ran at half that with everything turned on.

Oh and I also have the stuck turret issue

Graphical/Texture hickup.

Originally the ground in the distace (as well as the trunks of some trees) was the "speed limit" texture, it was a bit strange a it only effected things off in the distance, the area around me always rendered correctly.

Then I realized my Catalyst drivers were out of date, updated those and it solved the bulk of the problem. Although I'm still having a bit of an issue with the trees getting some strange purple texture when in the distance (as before when I approach they "clear up")

I've tweaked with the settings to no avail, currently everything's just on max (which I figured could be a problem)

I too am having the same problem. The game runs at average of 45fps, but stutters like crazy when driving vehicles. Using the console commands shows that the FPS never drops when it stutters. Also I've had the random slow down of indoor rooms that ran fine once, then ran slow the next time you were in them. Changing the graphic settings dosent seem to help. Everything seems great besides that, the stuttering is horrible at times though. Hope this gets fixed.

First off, love the game sofar it's alot of fun.

I've been having an issue when Alt-Tabbing out of the game to check messenger etc, where the game will switch into a windowed mode, and there does not seem to be any option to make it full screen again, fixed it by closing out and restarting the game, however a friend of mine is having the same issue and cannot switch the game back to fullscreen even after exiting and restarting.

And another i've noticed twice where i've been playing for 30+ minutes or so, the game starts lagging badly, it plays very smoothly up until that point (running on 2 8800gt's in SLI) but twice it has just degraded to the point where it is impossible to play.

POSSIBLE SPOILERS, at least for the first mission.

You need to buy at least one weapon on the computer (you may have to scroll down). Use the diamonds you got from the guy at the slaughterhouse, or if you found any anywhere else. Then go to the adjacent building and pick it up. Then you can go on to the next part.



As for my problem:

I'm having some minor visual problems. For instance when I get close to certain objects all I can see is a greyish shape of it (shadow?) where it should be(guns, railroad tracks, though only the wood part...).

As well as crashing to the desktop every 20 minutes or so for no apparent reason.

I'm running:

Vista Home Premium x64

The game seems to lag in dx10 mode when walking / running around the scenery. The fps are high, it's not too slow. It has been reported in the german Far Cry 2 forums multiple times already.

I am running Vista x64 and had the problem where the game would start up, then go to a black screen. I was able to get the game to run by manually editing my GamerProfile.xml (Documents &gt; My Games &gt; Far Cry 2). I just opened the file in notepad, then set my resolution and refresh to my monitors standard, changed Maximized to "1", changed platform to "d3d10a" and ShowFPS to "1". After I saved it, I tried launching the game one more time, and it worked just fine. I have exited and re-started the game a few times now and it seems to be working just fine.

Hope this helps some of you!
(I didn't specify all of the element names exactly, i figure if you're comfortable enough editing your config file, you can probably figure out resolution settings and stuff)

[fooffstarr]

Not expecting a response, due to most other people's complaints being ignored too...


Im 27% thru the single player campaign, and the only story mission on the map in Pala is with the UPLL. Problem is once i get frisked and enter the building, no one is there and the door to the usual meeting room is locked.

I've restarted the game, saved and loaded, taken buses to and from locations to force a reload etc. Doesn't make a difference.

There are no missions going from the APL or Underground, and it seems that i can't advance until these unspawning UPLL guys return.

Any ideas?

Hey. Love the game. There are a number of issues that could be fixed though.
1. How there is no way to exit a mounted turret besides pressing the "e" key.
2. The game for some unknown reason crashes quite frequently and at random.
3. I forget her name but that female buddy that you get (I think she's South American or something?), well I died this one time and after she came and saved me and I got up to go about my business, she got injured for no reason at all! I ended up wasting 3 syringes on her because it kept happening so in the end I just had to shoot her to conserve the syringes I have left.

I've noticed that a number of people that are also getting crashes mid-game have ATI video cards. I also have an ATI. It's a 4870x2 if that helps to fix the problem.

There is an issue that several people I know have had where the game will play smoothly and then freeze for a few seconds, and then go back to playing smoothly. The freezing occurs roughly every 10 seconds.

The Windows Performance graph in the Task Manager shows the CPU usage going to 0% when these freezes occur. You can then see that the issue happens at regular, specific intervals.

This made me believe it was network related. I disabled my network card and the problem immediately went away.

My personal theory is that this is a problem with SecuRom, or another component of the game phoning home. However, that's just a theory. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Game starts up in windowed mode and a black screen. I can hear music in the background.

I'm using Forceware 180.42 drivers with XFX GTX280 1gb card on Vista32 (fully updated, all drivers updated).

[Ragtag]

tried that. Still doesn't work. Alt+enter doesn't work either...this is just GREAT.

UPDATE:

Ok, it looks like the game doesn't like AERO on Vista so you have to disable AERO.

Procedure:
Right click the far cry 2 shortcut in games folder, click customize , click on the line named play far cry 2 and click edit. When in properties go to compatibility and turn on "Disable visual themes". Click apply and close. Now the game works. Tested with 180.42 drivers.

[MrGoEatWorms]

In SP arrow keys work for lefties but in MP, there is no way to make they keys work. This is a real bad fault in the coding guys. I am amazed it got passed the catcher. For lefties, it makes the online MP close to useless.

[kirisute]

this sounds very similar to the BIOSHOCK error involving tablet services.
basically bioshock performed the same way as FC2 is for you guys UNTIL you disabled the tablet services.
head into control panel&gt;administrative tools&gt;services.
scroll down the list til you find TABLET SERVICES (tablet pc services to be precise)..right click and choose disable.
restart your pc and test

if this doesnt work try running the game in dx9 mode:
right click the icon, you will either find the correct one in your START&gt;GAMES folder or hunt down the actual .EXE file.
chose CUSTOMIZE
now you will see a list of pre-set game modes..."hopfully" fc2 will have one that states...PLAY dx10 and one that states PLAY dx9...move the dx9 one to the top and OK...now test the game
if it works fine you know its a dx10 and driver issue...both BIOSHOCK and CRysis had similar things..its usually caused by the game engine not disabling the hardware accelration for AERO fully or correctly.

if none of these work i would suggest you head onto the internet and download the latest DirectX packs...most games ship with them but sometimes your older versions are corrupt and a re-install of the REDIST files will resolve the issue.

next steps would be to check your motherboard drivers are fully up to date...Nvidia and VIa have both released driver updates for motherboards in the last week or so.

The FC2 read me does state there are problems if your drivers are set to overide settings in game..so a reset back to driver defaults might shed some light on the problems as well.

[IceT-Bag]

For the guys n gals with windowed mode issues, in FC1 (PC) there was a console command to toggle fullscreen/windowed mode (r_fullscreen 0/1).

I would open the console and use the TAB key to list all the console commands - maybe there is a similar command in there that will let you play in fullscreen - and hopefully you'll only have to enter it once to sort it.

PS:
In FC1, if you ALT+TAB'd out the game on fullscreen mode - there was a high chance of getting a black screen when ALT+TAB'ing back into FC1, to get around this you had to switch from fullscreen to windowed mode via console, then TAB out - do whatever you wanted - then TAB back in and go back to fullscreen.

Maybe its similar in FC2 - couldnt confirm as I dont have it yet.

Here's an odd one for you. At some points during the game, if I grab a mounted machine gun (not vehicle mounted), I don't seem to be able to let go of it again. I press my 'interact' key (delete) and my character grabs the gun no problem, but once all of the naughty people in the area have been given a 7.62mm re-educating, I cannot leave the gun emplacement to continue the game. Instead I have to reload a previously saved game and repeat the same section of game but without using the gun emplacement.

OK I keep having problems with this (and other games) crashing. The last stable drivers i have been able to use were nvidia 175.19. The 178 and 180 drivers cause almost all (COD2, Assassin's Creed, Bioshock, Crysis, and more) my games to either crash to windows desktop or even worse, the dreaded BSOD. Far Cry 2 wouldn't even run with 178 or 180 beta drivers I had to revert back to 175.19 even though the game tells me "These drivers are too old, please update them."

I get past the cabbie intro, jackal intro, gain control for tutorial, and I can only assume you're supposed to "die" here because i see no other option... the game consistently crashes in the next load screen. I have several games on my comp I'd like to play without having to change nvidia drivers to appease each game...
Please anyone with technical expertise I would love your input. I am starting to wonder I may have a hardware issue. My specs are as follows:
GIGABYTE GA-M57SLI-S4 AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ 2.8GHz Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core Processor Model
CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
XFX GeForce 8800 Ultra 768MB PCIe

These specs are posted only in hopes that someone will find a problem...

For those who have the bug that when you change any display setting, to begin with the resolution setting, the game switches to a windowed mode with black contents:

Go to:

C:\Users\&lt; name of user&gt;\Documents\My Games\Far Cry 2

Now open with notepad the file: Gamer Profile.xml

Likely the game for some reason didn't pick up your monitor resolution, so it's using 800 x 600. Change where you see 800 x 600 into your desired resolution.

Save the file and start Far Cry again.

After this you can change any setting. However, quite likely the game will start in windowed mode. I haven't figured out how to solve this. As other people wrote, ALT+ENTER does the trick.

Actually I'm not surprised. My experience is that Ubisoft games are nothing but trouble. E.g. for Assassins Creed they still have to release addressing major issues.

So far Far Cry 2 is not bad, but not perfect in terms of bugs.

EDIT: not 100% sure, but it could be that you have to sit through the intro "ride" to the first save point to ensure the games saves its settings.

If you have aero running in vista, before playing any game you should just open the task manager, and shut off the "dwm.exe" process. That shuts off all the bells and whistles till you start up the pc again next time. Aero is an enourmous resource hog, so it's good to have it off anyway. Furthermore I just off everyhting not needed like searchindexer (there are usually 3 of them) and any windows media server BS or what have you. Hope that helps.

It worked for the single player windowed problem but I still cannot open the Editor. It flashes for a sec then closes.

As someone wrote here (2 posts above I think), make a shortcut and add some parameters.

Another way, is to change the .xml settings file, but then you still start in windowed mode.

I just made shortcut with the resolution parameters and it starts in full screen mode now.

Looks like the problem/bug is in the launcher, which checks for updates.

If the Devs could release the command lines and how to reach a console (assuming there is one) to use those for adjusting the field of view we could report back what values it'd take to fix it.

Btw I also encountered the windows black box, I fixed it by adjusting the Gamerprofile under "\Documents\My Games\Far cry2" and changed the first resolutionx & resolutiony to proper values but ALSO switched "Fullscreen" from 0 to 1. Worked like a charm to fix that one. You shouldn't have to disable Aero.

Would love to have have proper widescreen support. The fov setting needs to be raised for widescreen. I get dizzy when in vehicles. Or at least make it available in console. thanks

[exitiummachina]

Widescreen fixed with the FOV...as well as get rid of the rubber bullets...

[GibMonkey]

First and foremost I love this game but it does have it's drawbacks. Below are what I think are the biggest gripes that I think need to be patched, from personal experience and from reading this thread in its' entirety.

- Registration, activation, and serial number issues. This kind of goes without saying.

- Sound issues. Voices too low. Need to be able to control voices, ambiance, and music in the sound options menu. I put on subtitles to fix the issue for now. This is with headphones on. Also, not to nit-pick but is it me or does everyone talk REALLY fast?

- Magnification options and enemy tagging on the map. One zoom for the monocle sucks. No other way to put it. Enemy tagging would be nice but I would think this would make the map way too "busy." Give us multiple zooms on some weapons and DEFINITELY the monocle - please.

- Bindings in general are messed - the mount/dismount issue with mounted guns, binding keys to the numpad and such. Multiplayer with WASD. My personal experience is that I cannot bind mouse wheel up and down to next and previous, but the game already does this so it's all cool for now but in general binding anything to non-defaults is hokey at best. Binding interact to the numpad enter is an exercise in frustration. Using non-default keys like the numpad keys results in messages in the tutorial like "press _ to bring up your map" where _ is just an empty space. Binds for the time controls - in essence binds for absolutely everything using any key on the keyboard should, in this day and age, really be a standard option.

- There is no holster weapon option or button. This kind of kills immersion for me when flashing my gun even though I am not in a place where I am not supposed to shoot anyone without consequences. Most of the time I don't like running in between missions with my gun out as the distance between these two points can be fairly long.

- There is no option to toggle iron sites. As someone mentioned there is a toggle for crouch so this should have and option in the config to bind for toggle or non toggle. Personally I like a toggle for iron sites but not for crouch. Go figure. This game screams for a prone option too but I doubt we'll see that. See Crysis for further reference. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

- FOV with widescreen is fubar. Please fix the "looking through a slot" view.

- General crash and resolution/directx10/fullscreen issues. Could have something to do with drivers so I'm not dumping this on you Ubisoft. The new Nvidia beta drivers (180.42) work great in directx10 mode, but black screen in directx9 mode. Perfect example of driver issues, not software bugs.

- Improved AI would also be nice - they seem a little on the dumb side. Also, it really does take way too many bullets to put someone down. Respawns at checkpoints and areas every few minutes should be reduced to at LEAST until the next day after you clear a place out. Hate driving through the same checkpoint/bridge between or during missions only to have to fight again and again and again. Cool the first couple of times, really sucks by the tenth time.

- Script bugs with missions and buddies. I'm sure even more will crop up with a game this size.

- Information on commmand line options would be cool too, as well as config file options. Maybe we could be fixing some of this stuff ourselves ahead of time.

- Fix the crashing construction set. Kind-of a no-brainer there.

This is all I got for the moment. I know some of these are just pipe dreams but they need to be said. Thanks for making a killer game!

I meant to add this before, thanks Frost000.

Mouse acceleration is either nonexistent or at a very minimal setting in game. It is definitely apparent in the menu where I'm running my mouse off the desk 3 times over getting from one side of the screen to the other. There should be a setting for this in the options menu, if possible.

[Dashes]

For all you ATI owners, i found the solution(for Dx10 stuttering)!
Open console and write: gfx_maxfps 25 (or 30)
Stuttering stopped, runs smooth. Have fun!

[Frost000]

I'd like to echo GibMonkey's comments, and then add a few of my own.

1) The mechanics of connecting to a multiplayer server need an overhaul. There is no easy way to find/sort servers, and if you are lucky enough to actually find a server you can connect to, you have a 50% chance of either a) getting locked in the lobby - you can see the game map running in the background, with the lobby overlayed on top, and you're completely stuck, or b) punkbuster disconnects you.

2) The field of view is smaller than other FPS's I've played, and I definitely feel as if I have tunnel vision - no peripheral vision. There should also be an option to shut motion blur off, since, in effect, this really just narrows the FOV further.

3) The mouse precision is sluggish. I was able to take care of the mouse lag by switching from DX10 to DX9, and turning my graphics settings down further than I should of had to, but the lack of precision/sluggishness is still there.

4) Prone is an absolute must.

5) I appreciate the idea that an enemy's name only appears when you are aiming at him, however there are instances in multiplayer where the name appears when it should not (e.g. we were able to see the name appear through a pipe, even though we couldn't see the actual guy, and could follow his movements).

6) Its very disappointing that there are no (or at least at this point doesn't seem to be any) buildables. Part of Farcry's charm was due to buildable walls, towers, and turrets.

Our clan is playtesting as we speak. We'll add more as we find them. Our main plea - concentrate on multiplayer. We might dabble with the story line - but our whole clan bought FC2 for the multiplayer game only. Thanks.

I remapped the Activate/Interact button to Space which now doesnt leave the turret. I've tried every button I have mapped and nothing works. Thanks for the tip, I'll try looking at the defaults and see if I'm missing a button mapping.

[grmreapr]

I want to also endorse the comments by GibMonkey and Frost000, right on the money. Though I never really got into FC1 Multi.

The game is a blast otherwise. Reminds me a lot of the original Deus Ex. A few minor fixes (and I think all of these are minor) would elevate it to classic status. Great job guys, thanks for the game and the hard work. keep it up.

[Admiral_Jack]

1. Please add the ability to disable the "windows" key, as it is easy to accidentally hit this and crash the game.

2. Please fix it so that when a round ends you are not dumped out of the mp server you are in. This is logical and should be high priority.

3. Please revamp the server listings. If you won't let players enter ranked games that have already started then please please let us get an option to see servers that are in waiting mode only.

4. Creating a ranked match server works but even though you change the server name, others do not see it. Please make it so that if i create a server that others see the name.

5. love the game so far, even with the bugs.

then again, why can't you join to a match that has already started? i really can't see the whole point in it.

I don't have the first issue but I am having the same problem you are having in #2. I also went back to the safe house late last night and saved it there after 'sleeping' for a few hours. I was going to see if the dealer was there tonight but from what you say, he probably won't be. Have you tried the Bar to look for that chick who you rescued? She's supposed to be in the bar and have something to cure the malaria. At least that's what I thought I heard her say when I rescued her.

[K-Cruiser]

I'm getting the same PB issue as a bunch of other people.

"Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrB.exe driver failure (PnkBstrK.sys) ffab"

I can't play any servers with PB enabled. I know that's more of a problem for PB to fix, but the problem is exclusive to this game. Other PB games work fine.

Also, I recommend working on your MP interface. Quick games are for consoles. I want a server browser, so my clan can host servers that people know they're playing on, and can come back if they like it. This system really makes that impossible. Oh, and who thought it was a good idea to lock games in progress? What is this, an RTS?

Otherwise great game.

[Dazzo1987]

ok so I launched the game in dx10 with settings on very high, and noticed some odd graphical effects (red ground, bright green trees) and slowdown, so switched to dx9, runs much better. So im abit puzzled as to what to do next. Should i install the Far Cry 2 HotFix for ATI cards if im just running in dx9 or is it only for 10. Im pretty hopeless with drivers, not sure which 1 i have at the moment.

So lookin at my system what would you guys say i shud set the graphic settings too? If i install the hotfix should i be able to play dx10 with good fps, or should i just stick with most things on high (Antilising off) in dx9 mode, benchmark saying an average of 40fps.

so yeah with my system shud it be dx9 or dx10? (with hotfix)

edit:
heres 2 screenshots of some graphic bugs i found

1st Could not see anything just hear the guy talking

mouselag in-game and in menu

Widescreen is horrible, its like I'm squinting.

map takes up almost the entire screen, cannot see a bloody thing when Diamond hunting. Put the GPS/diamond detector onto another button to come up on its own, so I can see where I am going. Also would be handy if didn't have to bring the stupid map up first to use the monocular, again for the same reason as diamond hunting.

All enemy AI have almost terminator like ability to both detect me and take damage.

Aiming is poor and the guns lack any "oomph" I mean I've found the pistol to be the most accurate weapon in my arsenal so far.

Speaking voices are far too quiet, thought I had problems with my sound set up.

respawn timer is too quick.

[comrash4490]

Hey I'm having a huge problem with the controls for online play, and a few mishaps in single player. It seems that to get off the machine gun, no matter what your use key is, it is always E, also in multiplayer some controls don't change... for example sprint is always Shift (which i hate) and i have that as crouch, so no sprinting for me, also zooming is always right click, nothing else(not as big of a deal because the zoom cant be toggled, and i would normally have it at F). So all the controls (except the mount machine gun) work fine in single player, but in multiplayer the controls seem like "hardwired" to keys and technically unchangeable... was hoping if you guys could patch this, because not everyone like the default keys (haven't found a single game yet that I've kept the defaults).

Plain wrong, sorry. The respawn timer is MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH too quick. Last time I played in a quite crowded area it was so bad I actually quitted the game because it was no more fun. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif Got over it though. ^^

Sometimes it seems that there is no timer at all, that it depends on how far the player gets away from a location he has liberated for it to be spawn with enemies again...anyone of the same opinion? I mean sometimes I was just 3 minutes gone, maximum. And still the enemies were back.

It's very close to be a show stopper in some areas of the game. I cannot imagine how the Ubi guys could play this for a long time without getting annoyed. The scenery is so beautiful, I often want to just watch the environment --&gt; and BANG you get attacked again or run into the next street fortification, the one you liberated only minutes ago.

And no it's not a matter of minutes, it's a matter of hourse. What I mean: I want to have these locations liberated at least half an hour, if not an entire hour. Or make it an option where the player can choose the duration, that would be ideal!

Please, change it!

[Mezza86]

Im have 2 issues. THe first is the sound in the game. I cant hear people talking unless im looking directly at them, if i look the the left or right i cant hear them anymore. Also gun is almost silent when i fire it... The other issue is that some of the AI look like they are glitching out or something, they look like they have no eyelids and huge bulging eyeballs, none of this really affects gameplay but its pretty annoying, anyway i can fix this?

<LI>NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 v178.24 (latest non-beta)
<LI>Creative SB X-Fi XtremeGamer
<LI>Vista x64 SP1
[/list]Issues:
------------------

1. Loading a save point while playing the game seems to halve the FPS. This is usually fixed by reloading the engine, by changing gfx settings, applying, and then changing the settings back. I suspect this is due to some bugs with supporting SLI setups.

2. Mouse cursor does not move in the menu when moving the mouse at slow speeds. This is obviously due to faulty implementation of in game mouse acceleration. This issue was also present in Crysis with that game's mouse acceleration turned on.

3. Mouse sensitivity depends on Windows DPI and sensitivity settings. My mouse was set at 1800 DPI, which caused the game avatar to spin a full circle with hardly any mouse movement even at the lowest sensitivity setting. When I either lowered the DPI or reduced Windows sensitivity, the mouse sensitivity in game reduced as well. This is probably due to faulty (or no) usage of DirectInput.

4. Beyond the MP not accepting key bind customizations, when using the glider in single player, the key binds revert back to WASD.

5. Cannot bind and does not detect mouse wheel movement during key binds.

6. Widescreen FOV was implemented by cropping 4:3 instead of expanding the periphery. 2K Boston made this blunder with Bioshock, and there was so much customer outrage that they released a patch for ASAP. Personally, the developer that implemented widescreen FOV for Far Cry 2 should be fired.

-----------------------------

Most of these issues could've been avoid by providing the user with a full list of console commands (sensitivity, mouse acceleration, field of view, etc.) and/or config file(s) that the game uses to persist and retrieve user settings. I for the life of me cannot find where my binds and settings are persisted. GamerProfile.xml only contains some cursory graphics settings.

No matter how you kill a person ( silenced pistol, sniper, knife etc. ) the AI's in the surrounding area are always alerted.
AI's can see trough anything ones they know where you are and shoot at you. Ones got shot trough a big solid rock. By the way, how can a shack made up of small thin metal boards and some planks withstand a grenade ?

triggering a character interaction, vital to the mission completion often freezes all controls, with the game still running. impossible to bring up the menu, nothing happens the character just stares at you and the mission is impossible to complete. this happens if you choose to intimidate the informant at the villa from your buddies suggestion. extremely irritating after fighting through a horde of enemies, driving halfway across the map and realising the only option is to complete the alternative objective miles away on the other side of the world.......

I have the exact same issue, I have asked support for help on this, and was initially told that it was a game play issue and I should check IGN.com for "walk-throughs"... I am upset because I failed to realize that STEAM has a no refund policy on anything you purchase. Darnit! I have the latest video drivers (178.24), the rest of our gear does not match...

I got a few issues.

- When loading the game for multiplayer sometimes loading keeps on for about 10 minutes. Alt F4 or Alt Tab doest work to cancel loading.

- I had a few times with "take the diamond" online that i could`t switch to different types of soldiers, but i got the message next time you spawn in you get ...

- Single player getting somekind of performance loss when playing longer and getting in villages. FPS go down, after a resart is solved again

- Changing settings while running the game works but FPS will drop like hell, needed to restart, espacially when changing with AA and not.

Feedback: Patch the server browser and ranked system so that they aren't ripped straight from the consoles.

1. Show me all the servers available and let me order and filter them as I see fit. Don't make me perform a search, potentially find nothing, and then have to adjust my filters. Make it like a normal server browser in countless other games!

2. It shouldn't be default (or even exist) to have ranked servers with games in progress unjoinable. Just let people join and start playing!

The field of view in this game seriously needs to be fixed. I hate how consoles are ruining PC games with **** like this and the multiplayer match making.

[Broken5hiFT]

in multiplayer my customized commands dont transfer over and nothing works. I can't use my iron sites or do anything but walk and jump and the keys arent what i assigned them to be. This is garbage, fix this crap

First of all, make sure you update to service pack 1 for vista. I had the exact same problems until I did. Second of all, once you get it running don't bother running DX10... runs like total crap and no mouse acceleration at menus. Thirdly... Am I the only one the is surprised that no moderator or staff has even replied the the official "sticky" threads... i'd at least like the assurance that something is being done.. I'm loving this game to death in DX9 even if the frames start dipping horribly at random after extend play.

I just purchased Far Cry 2 today. I installed the game just fine, activated just fine. I can run the program fine, but when I try to start a new game, it either locks up or it reboots. This is clearly not a unique problem here. My machine is as follows:
P4HT 3.4ghz
2GIG PC2200 RAM
NVIDIA 7600GS 512 MEG AGP video card
250 gig harddrive
Windows XP Pro(Service Pack 2)

I know this barely beats the minimum, but there is no reason whatsoever for the game to crash like that. Especially since the same problem is happening to people with better rigs than mine, so it's not my machine that's causing the problem. If this game truly is scalable, I shouldn't have a real problem playing the game, albeit at low settings, but I'd be able to play the game, nonetheless. So, I wonder, what is the actual problem?

[gutterhead]

Been having Blue Screens of Death during loading. Odd thing is, this is related to nv4_disp.dll, because thats the error on the BSOD.

I tried ALL drivers, and it doesn't help. I used a driver cleaner to properly remove all remnants of the drivers, and I changed the settings in the control panel a dozen times.

Nothing helps...

In Vista, if you receive a black screen when starting up the game: Windows Vista has some visual settings that may conflict with the game. To resolve this issue:

Method 1

1. Right-click on the Far Cry 2 shortcut and select Properties.

2. Click on the Compatibility tab and check "Disable visual themes."

3. Click Apply and close.

4. Try running the game again.



Method 2

1. Browse to the Windows Games folder (Start button -&gt; Games).

2. Right-click the Far Cry 2 shortcut and select 'Customize.'

3. Highlight the line 'Play' and click edit.

4. When in properties, click on the Compatibility tab and check "Disable visual themes."

5. Click apply and close.

6. Try running the game again.



If your game is running in windowed mode, alt-enter should fix this. We are looking into this as well.


Any CD keys that were invalid on Tues/Wed should now be fine. If your CD key is still invalid, keep in mind that a letter O is likely the number 0, and letter S is likely number 5.

[lolzorer]

Can you patch the game so that mouse acceleration could be turned off and mouse lag would be removed?

Please don't do it like 2K Games and pretend to fix it while only changing one variable in a file which could've been edited by the user easily too and which doesn't actually fix the problem.

[fetus9000]

I installed Far Cry 2 and i told me my video drivers where too old. Even though the game still loaded i switched it to DX10 instead of 9 and closed to update video drivers. Updated to nvidia 178 drivers and it started booting in windowed mode so i used the alt enter trick and even though it goes to fullscreen, i get massive lag which makes it unplayable, but in windowed mode it works flawlessly. I dont know what the problem could be.

I change my binds to a keyboard layout i like.

custom layout works in single player but when i go to multiplayer the keys are half reassigned and half default

[sygys]

When playing most of the time i lose FPS all of a sudden! the only way to fix this is to alt enter to go in windowed mode and alt enter again to get back fullscreen. then everything seems like to reset and FPS are good again!

BTW i had the same problem only sound no view. i deinstalled my video drivers and installed an older Nvidia driver.then it was fixed!

i have this setup:

intel quad q9300
gforce 9800 GX2
2 GB ram 800 mhz
vista 32bit
screen res 1600 x1050 (why is 1600x 1200 greyed out in the game? another bug? because thats my main res normally!)

Crysis warhead is sooo much better in visuals, preformance, ai and physics! the game looks cheap and fake it feels fake. the water is bad! the only new and nice thing is you can shoot bushes and burn them. I had a high expectation of this game. but its bad.

Sadly i cant return the game to the shop!

[Dashes]

Guys, i already wrote it yesterday, but you still complaining.
Solution for DX10 stuttering: use "gfx_maxfps 30" command in the console, the game will run smooth.

[zenzou]

2 Bugs in one:

1st Bug you can see Here (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v357/zenzou/Game%20Stuff/Screenshot0023.png) . As you can see, all the textures used for the map and anything else can be seen in the reflections of the water. This was on the 1st UFLL mission where you have to blow up special forces' equipment... I forget the name of the place though.

2nd Bug is the fact that taking screenshots through the console (using the "screenshot" command) will crash my game to the desktop if I take too many too fast. I'd love to be a virtual-tourist and show-off beautiful screenshots, but if my game crashes after the 2nd or 4th shot, then its just not worth it...

- Sound Effects Volume slider and/or Music Volume slider
- Being able to choose audio device (5.1 Speaker, Headphone, etc...)
- Choose different crosshairs
- Being able to outrun AI who are chasing you in jeeps
- 3rd-person view and customizable gear (like Rainbow Six Vegas 2)
- Add a voice to the Gordon Freeman wannabe
- More melee weapons
- Fully-destructible buildings and boxes/crates/trees
- Support for a 64-bit mode
- CrossfireX Support!!!
- Full X-Fi support
- Water creatues (bugs, fish, etc...)
- Predators (Lions, hyenas, alligators, etc...)
- A fully-functioning control assignment (not one lazily ported from the XBox 360 version)... (i.e. mounted gun exit is alway bound to the "e" key, glider controls are always wasd, etc...)
- More gore (bodies never get charred after being burnt, I guess people in Far Cry 2 can die but their bodies can't be touched). Lets see some competition for Soldier of Fortune-level gore
- Mod Add-on menu (like the first Far Cry)
- Being able to actually bind keys in the console and have more than just gfx commands to play around with
- Releasing a program to decode the .dat files so that people may mod this game and keep it alive
- Car horn (fun for multiplayer especially)
- Spotlight attached to the machine gun on boats
- Radios built-into land vehicles (run other players over while blasting tunes, like Battlefied: Vietnam)
- A plane should be accessible after completing the game... allowing players to fly anywhere they want to and jump out and parachute down
- Attachable Flashlight used to blind enemies and players at night
- Remove those annoying fire flies... or don't make them so damn bright
- Be able to kill the birds
- Be able to chop down trees
- Easy to Normal difficulties should be able to mark vehicles and enemy npcs with their binoculars
- Bring back the throwable rocks from Far Cry so you can decoy enemies
- Free-roam after completing the game
- Have achievements that actually unlock things
- Your character should yell out stuff when he's in the middle of a huge gun battle or is using the flamethrower (i.e. "Burrrnnn baby burrrrnnn")

And a little question. Are we able to use the SandBox map maker to create Single-Player maps? Making your own 50 sq/km map complete with story and objectives would pave the way for a huge moddding community that would rival HL2's, Quake's or BF's communities.

[Marcosdelavega]

Hello everyone,

I'm having a strange issue with the facial textures in DX9. They look out of place ( some soldiers look deformed ), most soldiers have NO EYELIDS, so they look as if their eyes will pop out ! Strangest thing of all is that the guys you interact with ( buddies, key-figures ) don't seem to suffer from this.

If I switch to DX10, the problem is gone, however, I prefer DX9 because of the performance ( and all set to very high , 1920x1200, it looks almost identical )

I have yet to try the new 180.42 Betadriver from nvidia, maybe they'll do the performance trick for DX10. I'll post my findings on that later.

Everything else on screen looks great, though I have to agree with some people, that Crysis looks far better.

Anyway, anyone else having this problem ( and maybe explaination/ solution ?)


Thanks !

Marcos.

No bugs for me, amazingly, unless you count the improper wide-screen setting.

I do have some feedback though. Before that, though- I gotta say, I like the game, it's a lot of fun. Now I'm going to complain about it for a minute.

1. WAY too much time driving around. The environment is beautiful and the size is nice, but having just played the game for about 9 hours straight, I feel like I spent a LOT of time just driving around (repetitive), and the weather only changed once or twice.
2. Enemies don't really die right. It's not as bad as in Crysis, where headshots= instant death and anything else= 30-40 bullets to kill, but body shots, as well as shots to major arteries in the arms and legs, ARE FATAL. I shouldn't have to load 10-15 shots with my silenced mp5 into a guy's chest for him to die, unless he's wearing armor, and most guys aren't. Headshots work great (though sometimes hitting in the neck doesn't kill, which it should), but we should have some more sensitive areas too- 2-4 shots in the heart should kill, inside of the thigh should debilitate- only the extremeties should do very little damage, but enemies should drop their weapons or slow down or something to compensate.
3. If a weapon jams, I cannot switch it with another weapon. I can change to my sidearm, but if (and this was the case) I were to grab a shotgun off the ground, fire a few shots and have it jam, I should be able to just drop it and grab my mp5 again, without waiting for the jam sequence to complete. It almost killed me.
4. There are other cases in which the game makes its own little flourishes take precedence to proper tactics, for instance- grabbing a diamond from a found case REQUIRES that you pick the damn thing up and inspect it before you can shoot again. Silly. You should be able to skip that needless animation when need be.
5. The AI is OBSESSED with vehicles. Why would ANYONE driving a cheap desert subcompact suddenly go BERSERK and try to ram me off the road in my JEEP PATRIOT!? Even if he WAS trying to kill me... It's just a hassle having to get out, pop a cap in his face, and then turn my damn truck around because he spun me around and pushed me into a ditch. The AI should not be immediately hostile to you for just driving down the road. Barreling through a checkpoint is different, I guess, but it's still a little bit of a nuisance having to stop and kick the crap out of every one of those things every time I pass through one, even if I just cleaned it out a few minutes ago.
6. MORE FAST TRAVEL. When I discovered the bus line, I was THRILLED. It should go to a few more places.

Well, there's a lot more I could say. Overall I really enjoy the game, otherwise I would've just stopped playing, but there are quite a few little polish aspects I just wouldn't have let out the door for a final release (if I were a developer). Hopefully future patches make the game a lot smoother around the edges. I'd gladly be a tester for that shizz.

Good points.

Also,
- Hardcore mode for mp
- An option to set the npcs as less bullet proof
- Longer time between respawns of guard posts
- More light effects at night (or possibly change of color patterns). When the sun is up the game looks good but night, bleh.
- Add correct WideScreen support

I found when I turned off the sound and game worked 100%, something to do with my audio drivers. I updated my audio drivers to 10/17/2008 drivers, still an issue in game. I'm stumped.

[helmesjoe]

The multiplayer have really good potential, but with the name indicators its all gone. I don't really see the point with them because when your hiding in the bushes and someone by mistake aim at that bush, your cover is gone because of the big red name over your head.

Please add an hardcore mode like COD4 or just settings to remove the indicators and maybe up the weapon damage a bit, it raises the experience to a hole new level for the real gamer. 1-3 hits and you should be down i my opinion if we are talking about realism. We already have run n gun in Crysis and its not to recommend if you ask me who's looking for realism.

I have pretty similar setup as above.

I fixed the sound/lag issue by setting the audio playback hardware acceleration to none (in windows). Now the game works nicely, but still having a minor sound issue. Ie. when playing tutorial at mike's bar. When I get the tape and hear it, the tape sound freezes. Everything else sounds ok, but not the tape! I have no idea what to try next.

[TheMagicMoose]

So far i have not been able to play the game in 'single player' mode .

With all the test that I've done , here are the results, first of all im writting this at the office and here is my system (office)

First of all in full screen mode the game is crashing(crashing to desktop / Without errors) at the beginning during the jeep run, while going thourgh the small patch of water, (right after pushing the cow out of the way)

While in windowed mode its a different story, the game wont exactly crash, once i get through the guards the taxi driver tells me that we have arrived to destination and to leave the taxi , then the game loads and i get a black screen, although i still hear sounds i dont see any image, i can only hear sounds.

What i really dont get is that i can play multiplayer without any problems, every multiplayer modes work properly, the only issue i have is with punkbuster, but its not realated to the game.

Here are the specs im running (at the office) ill make another for regarding my computer at home later.

[Agustin.Barrios]

A couple bugs:

The sound levels for different weapons is a little unbalanced. The RPG and one of the first pistols you find, for example, are MUCH louder than the G3KA4 (I believe this is one of the first SMGs you receive in the game). I'm not sure if this portrays accuracy to the real-life weapon decibel levels, but it's quite ear-splitting especially when playing with headphones.

Also, the ambient talk of enemies sounds a lot CLOSER than they appear in the game. I will hear an enemy talking to one another and the sound levels appear to be either really low or really high -- not much in between, which is confusing when sneaking. I will think that someone is right next to me but in fact he is several meters away.

Aside from the minor sound problems and the widescreen horizontal cut-off, I've been enjoying exploring this vast world! http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/heart.gif

Well, until Ubisoft releases a patch that will FIX this game, I'm taking it off my computer. There's no point in me keeping a game installed if it doesn't work. I guess that's 50 bucks down the drain if they can't fix the problem.

[jim_bot]

Whenever I try and apply a change to the graphics settings, the application crashes to desktop. No error message.

If I try to play the game with the default settings, it loads for about 15 seconds then freezes, and I have to reboot.

Here are my specs:

-Awful AI, Ai can see through walls, and just run round and shoot you, from what i can tell they dont actually have to be facing you for thier bullets to hit you. They also stand infront of you then turn around, really bad.

-Takes FAR too many shots to kill enemies, unloading clip after clip into enemies is getting very tiresome.

-No autosave, the game should autosave after you complete an objective, AT LEAST.

-Widescreen crop, inexcusable UbiSoft, sort it, quick.

-I'm sure theres more, ive only had the game since this morning.

As a technical excersise its amazing, the fire, weather, water, and engine are all superb. I cant help but feel that UBI got too involved in all that though and forgot to get the basics right that make the game FEEL right. Really dissapointed to be honest. Either way this game was going to sell becuase of the brand, i just hope UBI werent complacent in the respect.

The potential is there for a fantastic game, but theres a few things that are really spoliing it atm.

[GibMonkey]

Repost from page 11 - please add to this list if it is missing anything. Thanks!

First and foremost I love this game but it does have it's drawbacks. Below are what I think are the biggest gripes that I think need to be patched, from personal experience and from reading this thread in its' entirety.

- Registration, activation, and serial number issues. This kind of goes without saying.

- Sound issues. Voices too low. Need to be able to control voices, ambiance, and music in the sound options menu. I put on subtitles to fix the issue for now. This is with headphones on. Also, not to nit-pick but is it me or does everyone talk REALLY fast?

- Magnification options and enemy tagging on the map. One zoom for the monocle sucks. No other way to put it. Enemy tagging would be nice but I would think this would make the map way too "busy." Give us multiple zooms on some weapons and DEFINITELY the monocle - please.

- Bindings in general are messed - the mount/dismount issue with mounted guns, binding keys to the numpad and such. Multiplayer with WASD. My personal experience is that I cannot bind mouse wheel up and down to next and previous, but the game already does this so it's all cool for now but in general binding anything to non-defaults is hokey at best. Binding interact to the numpad enter is an exercise in frustration. Using non-default keys like the numpad keys results in messages in the tutorial like "press _ to bring up your map" where _ is just an empty space. Binds for the time controls - in essence binds for absolutely everything using any key on the keyboard should, in this day and age, really be a standard option.

- Mouse acceleration is either nonexistent or at a very minimal setting in game. It is definitely apparent in the menu where I'm running my mouse off the desk 3 times over getting from one side of the screen to the other. There should be a setting for this in the options menu, if possible.

- There is no holster weapon option or button. This kind of kills immersion for me when flashing my gun even though I am not in a place where I am not supposed to shoot anyone without consequences. Most of the time I don't like running in between missions with my gun out as the distance between these two points can be fairly long.

- There is no option to toggle iron sites. As someone mentioned there is a toggle for crouch so this should have and option in the config to bind for toggle or non toggle. Personally I like a toggle for iron sites but not for crouch. Go figure. This game screams for a prone option too but I doubt we'll see that. See Crysis for further reference.

- FOV with widescreen is fubar. Please fix the "looking through a slot" view.

- General crash and resolution/directx10/fullscreen issues. Could have something to do with drivers so I'm not dumping this on you Ubisoft. The new Nvidia beta drivers (180.42) work great in directx10 mode, but black screen in directx9 mode. Perfect example of driver issues, not software bugs.

- Improved AI would also be nice - they seem a little on the dumb side. Also, it really does take way too many bullets to put someone down. Respawns at checkpoints and areas every few minutes should be reduced to at LEAST until the next day after you clear a place out. Hate driving through the same checkpoint/bridge between or during missions only to have to fight again and again and again. Cool the first couple of times, really sucks by the tenth time.

- Script bugs with missions and buddies. I'm sure even more will crop up with a game this size.

- Information on commmand line options would be cool too, as well as config file options. Maybe we could be fixing some of this stuff ourselves ahead of time.

- Fix the crashing construction set. Kind-of a no-brainer there.

This is all I got for the moment. I know some of these are just pipe dreams but they need to be said. Thanks for making a killer game!

PC community issues:

#1.Widescreen support needed asap, how FC2 made it out without it is baffling.

#2. Dedicated servers. How is a game supposed to be a success without the ability to play every part of it, ie... multiplayer. Not having a few dedicated servers per game type, for a name this big is just mind boggling.

#2. The ability to change our names in game so we are not stuck with our account names, as names. Ubi.com accounts vary, and support more than just this game, so getting a name that is not "133bobzor111" is kinda rare unless you have been around here for some time.

#3. Not getting booted from the server after each ranked match. This is really annoying. Maybe just send everyone to the lobby while the next map loads.

#4. Server browser could stand to be tweaked a little bit better. As is the option to just join blindly can almost be removed, as most of us like to see what we are getting into before we join, or at least have a choice.

#5. Adding the ability to view ping/latency while in game, per player. Perhaps next to thier score, in the scoreboard menu.

#6 Damage tweaks. things don't seem quite right with how the damage is dished out. Maybe have a look at the hit box detection for some of the weapons.
________________________________________________

To the developers:

These are just some of my personal observations so far. I could add a few more things, but these seem to me, to be the majority of the complaints. Some of these are bigger deals than others, but all in all these seem to be the just of whats needs to be addressed sooner rather than later.

FarCry was all about the PC, and had one of, if not the, best community support around. This game for the PC feels more like a console port over rather than something that should have been designed for the PC. Please do not let this game go down like that for the PC community. Patching it, giving it that little extra attention is a good start to making this award winning game a lasting one for the PC community.

Please show this game and community the support it needs by listening to the feed back, providing patches for various fixes, and a few dedicated servers. Without the dedicated servers to play the game on at launch, it's basically saying to everyone "your on your own, we're just here for name brand recognition and game sales". You guys should be leading the way, and setting the example, not visa versa.
________________________________________________

To YOU:

The original Farcry community helped MAKE that game a success. It was done before, it can be done again. To do it we need the support of the devs though, and we need to keep our heads on straight. Understanding that hard times are everywhere right now, all over, is part of it.

Not having dedicated servers at launch could be a reflection of that, though I would think that with a game and name as big as this one, they could squeeze a few out per game type. Giving things time, aka more than 3 days out, is just how it is. Anyone here remember FarCry on day one, with no language localizations, huh.... that was fun http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif. They messed some stuff up, they know that, hopefully they fix it, and don't just try to ride it out on name brand recognition http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

Well i'm having a mission bug involving the hostage rescue in the slaughter house/brick building. I've tried both quests and they're both glitched because they don't give me an option to enter the hostage's building.

The first time loading takes ages (30 minutes or so). When i disable my soundcard (SB Audigy 2 ZS) in the device manger it loads withing 30 seconds. Many people have this problem with there Sound blaster Audigy 2 ZS. Updating to the latest creative drive doesn't solve the problem! Would be great if this could be solved in a patch or something.

If i just play in dx9 mode (due to crappy dx10 performance) do i need the ATI hotfix, or should i just update to the latest drivers?

If i just have the one ATI 4870

Multiplayer does not work; it fails to connect to the Far Cry 2 server. This is not a firewall, routing or networking issue. I am not stupid.

[eviltimes]

PC SP issues:

1) Key Bindings. This is a dealbreaker. Especially the E key.

2) Zoom Lock. Essential for the momocle and weapons.

3) Prone.

4) flashlight or nightvision. or both.

Otherwise running very well on an older machine with DX9 and ATI 8.10.

The music keeps playing and the Loading wheel continues spinning at a very slow and choppy rate. I do not know what to do. Since I am able to get a full refund for a game I cannot play, even opened, I have an open option.

I'd like to play it but it refuses to let me in.

Everything has been updated... Lastest drivers and such.

I'm seeking a solution because I want to play this "hyped" game that I've been waiting to try out...

-Random crashes to Desktop
-Floaty mouse feel (Consoles ruin PC games)
-No server Browser! We need a real PC-esque BROWSER.

[PnPointSnipe]

I remember the day i saw the first far cry 2 video come out. I was like OMFG, this looks amazing. So about 2 months ago i pre-ordered the game, of course after seeing all of the expectaitons.

So then i install, install goes flawlessly. Start the game, put all settings on ultra high. I was amazed when i started the game that it ran so smoothly (at 1920x1200) I was perplexed at how smooth it was running compared to crysis. But then i looked around, and i was displeased. THE GRASS. One of the main features of this game was fire propigation, right? and what burns, grass. The grass looks absolutely horrific, and its everywhere. Oh, and back to fire propigation, WHY DONT THE ****ING TREES BURN, the grass burns all around the trees and bushes, yet? THERE ARE STILL TREES AND BUSHES LEFT AFTER THE FIRE ! I dont know if anyone has noticed that yet? But i think it is a major flaw. Okay, back to the begining of the game. The voice acting is sub-par, and so is the animation that goes along with it. This is something i could live without. So i ignored this. But then i came along to the missions. What ever happened to doin what ever you want? The missions are in a sequential order, and there are like 4 types of missions. Someone mentioned GTA, and i was like damn right. I thought the graphics were better in that game too. But it definitly feels like the mission structure from GTA, and why did I sell that game after 2 weeks of play, because it was REPETITIVE. Next, lets talk about the vehicles. Why do they only go to 60 mph? Shouldnt i be choosing how fast i go, i feel like i am driving a ****in golf cart with a govenor on it. I should be able to risk my life goin how fast i want, i mean, Aint i a mercenary who kills people but i cant drive fast? Okay, now howabout the landscape. When i saw this, i was just like "oh what the ****?" It feels like i am drivin through the grand canyon. It is just a bunch of narrow passage ways, and hardly any open field's and land. This greatly reduces the amount of space you can travel on. And it makes everything a ***** to get to. Oh, and enough with the single player, I cant even get the god damn multiplayer to work. This game pretty much took a giant **** on my computer, and i am so displeased. I so wish i could get a refund back for this game. WTF are we paying for? UBI's 2 week trip to africa which seemed to do **** for the game?

I am done with this post, as it has given me a headache just like the game.

[Frost000]

Updated list of needed fixes, 10/24/08, edited 10/25/08

I will draw from my previous list, as well as some other suggestions on this thread. But I will be limiting comments to MULTIPLAYER only. The clans I represent here are most interested in the multiplayer aspects of the game.

I. Server browser overhaul
a) Need to be able to see a long detailed list of servers at one time.
b) Need to be able to sort through those servers, sorting by name, ping, mode, ranked or unranked, pb or not, passworded or not, waiting or not, etc.
c) As of today, there are too many connection errors. Hopefully the new PB files take care of the PB disconnects, but there are still a myriad of ambiguous disconnect error messages.
d) Ranked servers should have the option to allow people to join at any time.
e) We need the ability to designate certain servers as 'Favorites.' It would also be nice to have a 'buddy list,' so that we could follow a friend into a game.
f) In the 'Uprising' games, we should have the ability to choose the captain (or, if we don't want to choose, we can set it to the normal default method - random selection)
g) We need the ability to hit 'esc' when a map is loading, and have an easy exit to the main menu. Right now we get locked into the loading screen, which may or may not freeze on up. Sometimes it takes forever to simply exit back to the menu.

II. Things that should be added
a) The ability to go prone. We've heard the arguments why you left this out. However, its simply not acceptable. Make the graphics worse, if you need to, and give us good gameplay.
b) The ability to change your name in game, from something other than your UBI login (with options of different color).
c) Let us choose our own character/avatar instead of assigning it at random.
d) Display player ping while in game
e) The ability to toggle iron-sights
f) Multiple zoom options on AT LEAST the sniper rifles.
g) Sounds quality options in the menu
h) The lack of buildables (walls, towers, and turrets) is very disappointing. Its one of the elements that made FC1 so appealing. Why not include them in this 'advanced' version of the original?
i) We need voice com, of some variety, to use in-game. How are we supposed to communicate? Typing in the heat of battle? Its unrealistic to think that everyone on the team will be in a specific TS or Vent server. We need this as an option if there is going to be ANY sort of effort at team cooperation.
j) The ability to run while strafing
k) More realism with weapons and run speed. In FC1 you were able to move faster if you had a lighter weapon equipped, while a larger, heavier weapon like a sniper rifle made you move slower. Why was this taken out? Give us the ability to move at different speeds. Similarly, lighter 'classes' should move quicker than more heavily armed classes.
l) Please give us assault. If not, please tell us why. Its not a difficult mode to make, you can simply tweak what you have now - and you can rely on the community for the maps. Please. The other modes are O.K., but there is no reason not to give the community the mode that we all fell in love with. Please. As it is, we are all left with the impression that you do not care about multiplayer - that it was simply tacked on at the end without much thought or time spend on it. It would go a far way in reconciling us in this regard, if you were to come out with Assault mode. If you plan to, please let us know that you are working on it so that we don't sell our game in the meantime.

III. Bugs to be fixed
a) At certain times the game locks up when joining a server, at the lobby screen. In the background you can see your guy spawn in - and he moves around when you move, but there is no way to get past the lobby screen in the foreground.
b) You shouldn't be able to see enemies through walls, sheet metal, etc. But often times their name pops up even when they are completely out of sight.
c) The field of view is too small. This is the first FPS I've played where I have to put on my glasses - and I shouldn't have to. And there is a 'tunnel-vision' feeling.
d) I'm not sure how to best explain this, but the weapons are sluggish, almost 'console-feeling.' Their aiming is imprecise compared to other FPS's (I'm not talking about recoil). Part of the problem may be some mouse lag, but its not only mouse lag. Its not smooth, nor crisp. Its clunky. I'm having a hard time describing it, but this is terribly important. It needs to be fixed. Again, FC1 didn't have this problem (and it still had plenty of recoil, and bullet spread, etc.).
e) Alt+tab causes errors.
f) DX10 causes mouse lag.
g) For those with the Steam version of the game, sometimes Shift+tab works in-game, and other times it does not.
h) At times there seems to be a problem with the hitbox. While sniping, once in awhile I would miss completely (like a foot to the right or left of the enemy's head) and it would register as a kill.
i) About half the time I play multiplayer I cannot switch to a different class. It always says the new load will take effect at respawn, but it doesn't change.

Thank you for passing these along to the developers. One final request - there is a lot of disappointment right now amongst your core constituents (even a brief perusal of these and other game site forums will show this). So, whatever you are working on behind the scenes to fix this, please let us know. Let us know which issues you are looking into. This will prevent us from having to continually post the same issues over and over. But most importantly, it will help give us some peace of mind that we were right to purchase this game - that you are taking our concerns seriously. Thank you.

SP- happ[ens after a while of playing. seems to be lag time between moving the mouse and movement on screen.

huge frame rate drops after about 30 mins

MP- cannot find server or cannot find games. also not sure what this is about, it says cannot find my data so i cannot join ranked servers, not sure if this is a bug, probably just me being thick. i havent read the manual.

Please post here with feedback/bug reports on the PC version of Far Cry 2. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Thus far I have had two major problems with this game. Firstly, as you all know the widescreen is messed up, and i can't get the game to work in full screen mode.

Secondly, and this is the bigger of the two, i'm finding that in single player and only single player) i will save or load a game, and the moment i do this everything around me turns into a really messed up colours. The rocks around me (and cliff faces) all have various street signs on them. Its really messed up.

and peoples faces are out of wake (purple faces sometimes).

I'm using a computer with the following specs
2.53 ghz core 2 duo, 2gb ram 800mhz, ATI Diamond Radeon 2600xt. Windows Vista Ultimate.

Its quite frustrating because although my graphics card isn't nearly able to enjoy this game at its fullest, i didn't pay 50 bucks for a game that makes it seem like i'm playing it on acid.

I cant believe I wasted my money on this game. They hype you up with amazing visuals and once you actually get into the single player its the same old thing over and over, traveling needlessly from one point to another with re-spawns every 30 seconds. You are kill on sight to everyone (almost as if you have a target on your chest). And guns do virtually NO damage! How the hell did something like this make it past beta/balancing?!??!

And don't even get me started on multiplayer. What a joke. (I've since gone back to CoD4.)

The lobby is horrendous, finding a game is almost impossible, you cant join a game in progress, the weapons are horrid (sure they look and sound nice but do virtually no damage)

Way to go Ubi!

[FearCry_23]

Random crash to desktop without any error
Sometimes after 60min of playing but mostly after 5 to 10 min
This is really annoying
PLZ FIX THIS!!!!

[vpsaline]

When observing an outpost through my monocular or what ever its called, I saw an enemie blocking the path of another enemie. So they tried to walk through each other and one began to levitate into the sky! he went up in the air like 60feet like Jesus would or something. Wow, 55$ game? I thought devs PAID for beta testing services, guess things have turned around they get paid for beta testing, NICE.

[wssymes]

OK, I am really enjoying this game. Here is a list of items that I feel would make the game even better.

1. Fix the respawn rate on cleared guard stations. They really do respawn too fast. Maybe have them return in vehicles to repopulate the station.

2. Please have the enemy AI stop ramming your vehicle everytime they see you. I think they should only try and hit you when you are on foot. I would like to see the enemy actually park there vehicle in an advantageous spot and try to pick you off at a distance. This would be a little more realistic.

3. Please add some predatory animals into the game. Now that the game is released you should have time to incorporate some dangerous animals into the mix. Lions, and Elephants/Rhinos(although they are not predatory, they could charge your vehicle if you get too close) and Alligators, oh my!

4. Please add spot lights to the mounted guns on the vehicles. It would be nice to use this as a diversion tactic. Turn on the spot light and fire a few rounds. Then hop out and flank. Just a thought.

5. Blood spatter and pooling would be nice. Perhaps even have it stick to plants and trees like the original Far Cry.

Multiplayer is good fun but needs some really annoying issues addressing. Firstly I can't get on without disabling my antivirus software.

Then finding a match is a pain because you can't join if it has already started. On top of that, the server browser is rubbish and doesn't tell you if you can join the game or not. It really needs a proper PC server browser and not a useless console browser.

How about letting us use our own nicknames?

The only thing drastically wrong with the actual multiplayer gameplay is the enemy name tags. These should be taken out completely. An enemy with a big bright red label over his head is a little too easy to spot.

Also, the key binds don't seem to work properly. And mouse acceleration needs to be configurable (ie, disable it), as does FOV.

This isn't a bug report but i was told to report here anyway so here it is
Posted Fri October 24 2008 14:09
OK as an avid pc gamer, co-leader of a gaming community and general fps lover , can ubisoft please tell me why it has ruined all my faith in pc fps games for ever more amen, i was so excited about this game , lets be honest pc gamers dont often buy Single player games , so multiplayer games surely seems the obvious route , but no. This game has clearly been 'copy and pasted' from the console version , and every single pc gamer that i know of, from many different clans hates this , and hate you all for making such a bad console type pc game , when will you learn.....

[IDC-SenSe_Less]

After playing the game, single and multiplayer, for a while my mouse pointer doesn't line up with the screen pointer. So i'd have to look UPWARDS in order to click E on something in front of me.

PLEASE fix the lobby. We bought a PC version and this lobby sure does look a lot like a console. Make a filter for servers over 400ping! And make it so you can join games that have started. What if we have a clan, and a clan member gets on and wants to play with us, but has to wait for it to end? Seems redundant.

ALSO, why does it kick you after each match? Obviously it takes forever to get into a game, and to be kicked out of one right after the end, seems ridiculous. How is that user friendly?

Can you add voice commands in MP? It seems so quiet online. There aren't any "under fire" or "enemy spotted". Seems very un-teamorientated...

CAN you please let us change our online names? Say we join a clan and want to put a tag on? You expect your users to re-create a whole new account and start fresh? Seems like a waste of database storage on your end.... :/


main points:
-fix the PC lobby online
-Add some online noises, something other than scattered gun fire.
-Allow for in game name changes.

Well, closing forum threads and directing me here doesn't encourage me to comment. Comments are sometimes spontaneous, inspired by other things that were said. Perhaps I strongly disagree with something said and want to reply in context.

I do not have time to read through this whole thread right now, either, sorry.

None the less, I'll say what I wanted to say anyways, despite it being out of context.

I don't have any "issues" with this game and no bugs to report. I just wanted to say that the developers did a reasonably good job on it. I say reasonably, because there are always going to be bugs that cause issues for other people that need to be addressed in patches.

Comparing it to other games like Crysis is pointless, because they are different games. I'm glad it's not a clone of Crysis (which I enjoyed at the time) because I look forward to new games especially when I'm bored with my existing ones.

There is a nice balance between graphics quality and performance. No, it's not as photo-realistic as it could have been, and while I'm a sucker for graphics, we can't always have that. I'm glad that more people will be able to enjoy this game because of it.

I see a lot of complaints about the environment not being as destructible as people were led to believe. I don't think that some folks realize that the more destructible objects you have, the more hardware intensive a game is. Even if you're not running around destroying the objects, it adds significant complexity. I too watched the trailers and read the hype, but I don't feel like I've been "lied to". I was not expecting it to be 100% destructible, because I know better. Pick a few objects and do it well.

I'm not a big fan of driving around, but OK, I'll accept that this is the style of game it is. I'm very much enjoying exploring the game and there were a few times where I accidentally blew up my vehicle by shooting the wrong weapon in close proximity, and I proceeded on foot across the veldt.

I'm enjoying the characters in the story as well.

I'm not at all interested in Multiplayer but it sounds like there are some legitimate complaints there.

DRM... I had no problem with it, but I bought mine through Direct2Drive this time (first time I've bought a game that way). No, I don't approve of such methods as SecuRom, but as long as it doesn't prevent me from playing games it won't stop me from buying them even though it goes against my principles. (There was a time when I would not tolerate any DRM whatsoever). I will be more interested to see how well Ubisoft responds to their promises of supporting users that have problems with it, and the promise of long term support.

I am less likely to have problems with SecuRom because I have a squeaky clean system. I only use Windows (Vista) for games and I don't install other software. I don't use stuff like Aero either, and only keep the services I need enabled. I don't do Nero or anything, because I do all my CD/DVD writing in Linux.

The only problem I ever had with SecuRom was with Mass Effect. Installing a patch seemed to break SecuRom such that trying to perform operations on executables in the Explorer shell was crashing it. At first I didn't even realize what caused it, but since it started after installing and patching Mass Effect I searched their forums and found another patch that fixed it. That was bad, and served to illustrate how ominous invasive DRM can be. Installing drivers to monitor file operations... for shame.

Anyway, Ubisoft's promised policies with SecuROM activation and revocation seem quite reasonable. If it all works as advertised I'll not have a problem with it. At the same time though, I am very sympathetic to the plight of those who have problems

Congrats on the release of a very nice game, folks. Some of us do appreciate your work. The cost of PC games is very reasonable too, considering what goes into them. A good game entertains me for a long time. I've spent more money on dinner.

Thanks for FarCry 2 :-)

Graphical/Texture hickup.

Originally the ground in the distace (as well as the trunks of some trees) was the "speed limit" texture, it was a bit strange a it only effected things off in the distance, the area around me always rendered correctly.

Then I realized my Catalyst drivers were out of date, updated those and it solved the bulk of the problem. Although I'm still having a bit of an issue with the trees getting some strange purple texture when in the distance (as before when I approach they "clear up")

I've tweaked with the settings to no avail, currently everything's just on max (which I figured could be a problem)

Running a crossfire between two HD4850's. Sorry no screenshots, didn't have that much foresight. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I'm also having these green/purple trees, red ears, purple arms and legs and pink stop signs textures. They only appear at certain times of the day though, mostly evening/night.
