Yes, we're reading this forum too, so don't post tech questions in the other one thinking no one will see it here.

I would like to say that so far the game has run flawlessly and with eye candy gallore! Cheers the UbiSoft team!

[XyZspineZyX]

When I try to start up Far Cry demo, a windows appears but then another comes up called 'Critical Exception', and needless to say, things don't go much further. :-(

The description says:
EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
Attempt to read from address 0x000000000
The memory could not be "read"


Running on a Geforce Ti 4200 with 43.45 drivers and DX9.0b installed.

[XyZspineZyX]

Niallmc, I've read several times that there's a corrupt version of the demo out there and they were able to get rid of this error by re-downloading the file from a different server.

Also, before you do, realize that Far Cry REQUIRES the 53.03 drivers and doesn't usually run properly without them. I had probs, and then after downloading the 53.03's, everything was fine. I'd do that first, to be sure it's not a driver prob.

If you still get the bug, I'd look at acquiring it from a different site and reinstalling.

[XyZspineZyX]

Thanks for the advice, but I did have the demo working fine the day before so download must have been ok, and 43.45 drivers seemed fine then!

[XyZspineZyX]

When i try to do the reflections/buggy/shrk fix (i.e. the one in which you have to unpack the game.paks with an unzipper) i cant seem to get to the contents, i unzipp it to a folder but there is nothing in it.

This is very annoying, please utilise your extensive knowledge to solve this prob

thank v mucho

[XyZspineZyX]

What should i do to fix this problem?...

I have a system of sorts that supposedly runs at about 1.9-2 gigahertz.
Substantial amount of RAM.
And DirectX(whatever one it said i needed).

Does anyone know why, when i enter the game
everything is a mess of greens and other colours like a bad attempt at 3d by an SNES system?

It's really hard to describe just how bad it is.
I don't really care about the frame-rate yet...
But, i'd like it to at least display properly,
like the way i'd seen it running in the "CRYTEK DEMO MOVIE FILE"

[I_Am_Tron]

how much ram is a 'substantial amount of ram'? 512? also, you should have directx 9.0b installed.

and one important thing you forgot to mention was what video card you have and what drivers you are using for it. without this knowledge it's hard to say much. but my guess would be to download the newest drivers for your card to see if that works.

Athlon 64 3200+
1.5 GB DDR 400
ATI Radeon 9800 XT 256 MB

Yes i have posted a thread on this already, but i hadnt read this thread yet.
I need to know how i can re pak files after unpaking them or dont i need to?
cuz i want to add a few tweaks and fixes to the demo for more realistic AI and details etc.
So if you could tell me step by step what to do, to repak the files, i would be soo greatful.
Also i dont know why i cant see a rough surface on the water even with the dl'able shark/jeep/water fix, it just plain flat blue, which looks crap in a way, i have a GeForce 4 MX440, 1.3 Ghz AMD athlon processor running the game at highs and very high settings except shadow and some other detail, NO AA or AF running at 1024x768, havent checked the FPS yet but runs pretty damn smooth. http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
So how do i repak files?
Why dont i have good water with the fix?
Thanks for any help. http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/images/smiley/16x16_smiley-happy.gif

[MonsterMan69]

It appears that I have solved my own problem. I had overclocked my graphics card slightly :-) and it seems that was my problem. I don't know if the card was getting too hot or what but when I put the settings back to factory defaults everything ran fine again. Those of you who overclock beware....

I have an ATI 9200 (NOT SE) with 256MB.
Some people say to use the 3.9 drivers, some say 4.2. I have the 4.2 installed. I cannot get the game to run.

Sys is a P4-2.4 ASUS P4PE w/256 RAM.
Should I try switchiung to the older drivers?
Even bigger question, where can I GET the 3.9s. I can only find the newest ones on ATI's site.

[iKALASHNIKOV]

I can get Far cry to run, but when it starts up the screen is either all black or blue, or the textures are extremely bulky or stringy. some don't even appear at all.

proxieman go to www.ati.com (http://www.ati.com) go to drivers and software, choose your OS, graphics driver, radeon family, click go. and then if you scroll all the way to the bottom under the 4.2 cats theres a link in red that says previous driver versions. its pretty damn tricky i know it took me a bit to find it lol. anyway good luck

I have an ATI Radeon mobility 7500 running the Omega Drivers based on Cat 4.2 in a 1.7GHz 1gig Ram laptop. I'm confident the game will run without any problems, but it does that stupid check before it even tries to start. Can I bypass it so I can play the demo?

as you can see, it just assumes my mobility won't run it, when it's packing the same drivers as the cards that are supported.

When you say that the FC demo requires the 53.03 drivers for NVidia gfx cards, I have a small problem - I'm running Win98SE and this release isn't available for my OS version. However, 53.04 is available and has the same release date - should I assume that this is the driver version I need? Because (see my separate post) I can't get the demo to run - just a grey screen and frozen PC (using this driver, older ones or more recent ones)...

Ok, I posted this in another post but I saw this one so I'll post it here too.

First, my specs are:

Intel P4 3.0Ghz 800FSB (Hyper Threaded)
Intel 875P Motherboard
WinXP Pro
1GB Corsair PC3200 DDR Ram (Dual Channel)
ATI 9700Pro
Audigy Gamer
120GB Maxtor Diamond SATA HD (Primary)
60GB Storage HD
120GB Maxtor External HD


The Problem:

Everytime I try to launch the demo, my PC restarts. I have AA off etc but I haven't had any luck. The only way I could get the game to run without my PC restarting was by ALT+Tab to the desktop and then click on the FarCry button in the taskbar but then the graphics in the game are totally messed up. What can be done to fix this and can I expect the same crap to happen with the retail version? I mean, who makes a game to support only a certain set of drivers? Which it may not be a driver problem at all with everyone having problems/getting it to work with different versions of drivers.

Please Help.

[Atreyu-k2]

had the same problem, except i still do, i'm running a radeon 9000 128mb mobility, yes thats right i'm playing it on a laptop.

2.4ghz p4
512ddr ram
radeon 9000 128mb mobility catalyst 4.3 drivers, installed them twice just to make sure, i have to use a program called mm4 to allow normal desktop pc radeon drivers to work on my laptop screen, system setups are always different and therefore its usually up to the manufacturers of the laptops to configure the drivers, which can take months, the program works and i've never had any problems.

40gb hdd 5gb spare.

i've narrowed it down to 2 things, its when i see a vehicle, buggy, helicopter, boat it doesnt matter what, its only vehicles, i have no idea why this happens but also my compass seems to go mad and spins around like crazy when i finally manage to look away from the vehicle, its only when i look at it.....like i could be standing right next to it, but when i scroll round and look at it, everything DROPS.

and i get like 0fps and it takes atleast 30 seconds to get away from it.

i'm running at 1024 with everything at low, no vsync, tried that didnt work.

tried it at 800x600 also, didnt work. the worst thing is, when i'm NOT looking at vehicles and just shooting people normally i can get some stuff up to medium and it runs like a dream, i've never seen a game look so good on my pc, except maybe with the painkiller demo in exception.

but if anybody could help me with this i would be great. i really like the vehicles in farcry and it would be a damn shame to let the game down and having to uninstall the full game when i get it cause it doesnt work.

thanks guys.

did you unpack it ?, and run the exe from outside of the zip, its not a good idea to run a install from inside of a zip file,also i noticed that the beta installer took quite a long time to get going.

[SaWGodFather]

To those of you with 256 megs of ram who are having trouble running the game, i suggest getting more, 512 should be bare minimum for any system now, But if you can afford a gig go with that. As for those of you with radeon 9000 9200, 9200se, 9600se,7500, 8500,gforce 5200fx, geforce 4(any model)geforce 3 any model, geforce 2 any model, and any card older than these, you should consider the fact that your card is low end when it comes to running games with full directX 9 features, and think about upgrading. All of the above cards however should be capable of at least running the game at low - mid settings in a decent computer. But if your having glitchs in gameplay try the lowest resolution and settings and try running the game in openGL instead of DirectX9. As for the drivers, The catalyst 3.9, 4.2, and 4.3 all worked fine for me. I would go with the 4.3, but any of the above should be fine.

To the buddy who said he is using whatever version of direct X the game says he should use, means he probably doesnt have the correct version. If you dont know to Call it Direct X 9 at this stage in the game. I would double check to make sure it is installed.

To The buddy who asked the difference between a 9600se and a 9600xt, there is a huge difference. A 9600se generally will give you the same performance as a 9000pro or a 9200 that has been slightly overclocked. The 9600se cant touch the performance or clock speed of the 9600pro or the 9600xt which are capable of achieving a higher clock speed than even a 9800pro because the card has less hardware on it, and doesnt heat up as fast as the 9800pro.
(higher clock speed doesnt mean its faster however) The 9600se is the one ati card that isnt really worth the money in my opinion.
The 9600xt is basically a 9600pro with the same overclocking feature that is available on the 9800xt, which comes with a thermal diode giveing the card the ability to run at its highest possible clock speed without overheating, if it starts to heat up,the card will clock itself down slightly to compensate. This is a very good feature, but if you dont want to spend the extra cash for that feature alone the 9600pro is just as good. I dont recommend to anyone buying the 9600se.
As for the performance of the 9600pro/xt it can render everything a 9800pro can, just at lower framerates. Just for an example, if a 9800pro is getting 80-90fps, the 9600pro will get about 60 in the same system with the same settings. In my opinion The 9600pro is the best mid range card on the market, ive tried a 5600 fx card , the 9600pro far exceeds it in performance, (havent tried a 5700ultra yet but its probably alot better than the 5600fx so if your looking for a mid ranged nvidia card i would go with the 5700ultra).

I can run the game at high settings on my system, with no glitchs,no problems, and the 3.9 catalyst,4.2 and 4.3 all worked fine for me.
Here are my specs...

My Rig
2500+ barton o/c to 3200+(2.2g) nforce2 motherboard 400fsb @ 11x200, 1 gig (2x512)pair of infineon pc3200 ddr, Radeon 9600pro clocked at 500/370, WD7200rpm hard drive w/8m cache, 19 inch nec flatscreen, and a bunch of other little nickets and trickets... lol

If you believe your system is similar or more powerful than mine, and you had trouble running this game, the only explaination is either human error, on your part, or maybe your system isnt really as fast as you think it is.

[cmrbreno13]

Godfather, you had a good explaination about the video cards but what I don't agree on is the only 2 options you gave the people who are having problems running the game are Human error or a misjudgement of system speed. I can't speak for everyone else but I know my system is fast enough to run farcry with very high settings, I mean I got into the demo and it was playing without any lag but the problem was textures etc. which made it unplayable. setting up the demo (downloading, unpacking, installing, launching) is pretty strait forward. My machine has handled some of the newer games like UT2004, Doom3 beta, Morrowind with all of the expansions, Command and Conquer Generals with zero hour all settings maxed out without a problem with FarCry being the exception and I know I'm not the only one. By saying that the problem might be due to human error is not really lending a hand in Helping us solve the problem...

[SaWGodFather]

What are you Specs then? The Doom 3 beta is just the leaked alpha, with some third party maps in it. It doesnt run at high resolution, and even if you play with the options in the config, you wont get much of an increase in image quality so you cant really say that because you can run that beta, you can run doom3. As for all the other games you mentioned, none of them have any new directX 9 features in them, most of them are openGL based and require a much slower system to run.
Unreal 2004 is not a system hog, its minimum requirements are a pentium 2 i believe with a 64 meg video card, it was meant to run on an older system. Basically because its just Unreal 2003, with some new maps, gametypes and vehicles added, it is not a sytem hog. In fact non of the games you meantioned are. Far Cry is the latest greatest game around right now and will be the benchmark for future games and hardware, that is Clear. But nothing you meantioned in your above post gave me any impression that your system has the power to run Far Cry properly. And with most of the performance issues in the threads in these forums lead me to believe nothing other than, the people making the posts have slow PC's, or they had a conflict with something that got installed.
To fix these problems, in respect to graphics card issues, using the software uninstall utility provided by Nvidia and Ati to remove all of thier drivers and software from your system, then loading the default windows drivers, followed by a reinstall of your cards latest drivers, and then reinstalling the game will solve alot of problems for alot of the people posting here. Reading the Readme before you install something is always a good idea as well. After this is done properly if your still having issues , its most likely due to an outdated component or multiple outdated components, and in some cases, its the whole system. In the Recommended Requirements When it says 128 meg video card with directX 9 compatability , only cards that have DirectX 9 compatable on the box fall into that class.
Anything older than a 9200 radeon or 5200fx is not a directX 9 compatable card. Having these two cards in particular will not give you great performance in the game however as, they are the lowest end versions of the newest cards on the market, and wont perform much better than the cards without DirectX 9 support. So as ive said before in this thread and other threads in these forums, any newer card faster than the two mentioned above, is what you should have for this game in my opinion. But at least you should have one of those two. Plus i dont think the Card makers are focusing much on compatablility with drivers in thier last generation cards, when the next generation is preparing to hit the shelves.
I stick to my two explainations. Reinstalling software as mentioned above, and or upgrading all or part of your computer will solve most peoples issues with this game. And i know it seems like alot of people are having problems with this game from the threads in these forums, but there are alot more of us who never had a problem with this game from day one. Also its been said in these forums and on many other sites , that thousands of people have already downloaded at least one of the two leaked versions of the game floating around. Do you think all those people would download 3 or 4 gigs of data if the demo wasnt working for them. Then there are those of us that already pre ordered and paid for the game, and im sure that number is probably in the thousands too. Ive only had one person in my Clan (of which has over 40 members) who had trouble running the Far Cry Demo, his PC was a 1.2 gig pentium with a radeon 9000 and 512megs pc100sdram, when he upgraded to a 2.8gig hyperthreaded pentium with 512 megs of pc3200ddr he had no trouble running the demo, but he couldnt attain the same framerates as me only due to the lack of power in the card. But the game Had no errors for him after he changed the processor , motherboard and ram.
Im not saying everyone should go out and by a new computer, but you cant expect all games in the future to be backwards compatable like Unreal 2004.

I wasn't trying to start an argument which with your last reply I can see where you're coming from. My PC is as follows:

Intel P4 3.0Ghz 800FSB Processor (Hyper Threaded)
Intel 875P motherboard
1GB (Twin 512MB sticks) of Corsair PC3200 DDR Low Latency Ram from their XMS series (Dual Channeled)
WinXP Pro (with SP1)
ATI Radeon 9700Pro (latest drivers)
Audigy Gamer sound card
Maxtor Diamond 120GB SATA HD
Maxtor 60GB HD (Storage Drive)
Maxtor External 120GB HD

Again, I do appreciate your feedback and I'm glad to hear someone got it working with the newer drivers.

Ok, I just tried Demo #2 and still no go, Godfather, since you have an ATI card could you please post your video card 3D settings (from the Desktop controls)? I just want to see if my settings match yours since the game has problems with AA. I can't turn it off in my desktop controls but I have it set to "application preference". In the demo I have AA as "None" and what happens is I'll click on "Launch Demo" and it will start to load but then freezes. Am I just downloading faulty demos or what? http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif. This game may not be worth my money. Sure I'll try the game to see if the retail works but until then...I may just pass on it. I agree with the statement about having to upgrade for the next gen games but I shouldn't have to upgrade my 3.0ghz processor to a 3.4ghz or my 9700Pro to a 9800xt or my 1gb corsair PC3200 ram to 2Gb of corsair PC3200 Ram(which I highly doubt is the problem here) just to get the demo to launch.

Ok, I reinstalled DX9, and the 4.3 drivers and I can get into the game without the computer restarting but now some of the textures are glitching....I got it this far so are there any ideas on what I can do to fix it?

[cmrbreno13]

Ok, I'm back to square one with the same old problems...it's just a very glitchy demo. First it works then it doesn't. Hopefully the retail will be much better. All I can say is that I ran everything on very high without it slowing down but again, the only prob I had before was strange graphic problems. Now of course I can't run it without it restarting... http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/images/smiley/16x16_smiley-mad.gif

I posted in another forum, but here goes again:

I am having major frame-rate troubles. The game looks gorgeous, but that makes it all the worse that my fps are so low. I downloaded the new drivers like the website says to do. I'm running a P4 3.2Ghz with a gig of RAM and a GeForce FX5900 Ultra 256 meg vid card. I cannot imagine that my system is the cause of the problems. I have been waiting so long for this game, but if this is the kind of fps I'm going to get, it ain't worth the $50 bucks - that's for sure.

I would like some assurance from UbiSoft that the game will run much better than the demo - and I realize it probably will be, because that's the way demos are. But dang, it looks so good... AAAAAAAHAHAHHHHHGGGGHHH!!!

[TiaMaster]

This is BY FAR the BEST looking, and from the demo, best playing FPS out right now.

Frankenstein P4 2.6 Ghz
Gig of RAM
RADEON 9800 Pro w/4.1 driver
SB Audigy set to 5.1 Dolby
ALL SETTINGS set to VERY HIGH!
no AA or AF will work but when the damn thing look like this it really doesn't matter.

I bought the collector's set FarCry3 and do not know how to activate the complement

[Ubi-Mush]

From the Far Cry 3 main menu, select Options --> Exclusive Content. Enter your key in all CAPS and with the dashes.

Hi

I have far cry 3 for PC, where the map editor is not found within the game itself, but instead started from the initial launch window where you can also launch the game itself, view the readme and manuel, and have the option to uninstall.

Here is my problem: I have completed, validated and saved my multiplayer player map using the far cry editor.
I then launch the game and go to multiplayer > my setup > my maps, where I should be able to select my map and publish it by clicking ''make available online'', BUT my map is not there, nor is there any kind of ''import map from file'' option..

So to summerize: ingame i go to multiplayer> setup> my maps, but it cant find the map I've made in the seperate far cry 3 map editor for PC.


HELP?
