Far Cry/Ubisoft Forum Rules

If you are having a problem running Far Cry (or have a general computer question) please look through some of the topics before you post. Someone may have had the same problem as you. Do a search using keywords as well. If the search function does not work, try this method using Google.

For your first port of call you may wish to try here:
Official UBI Technical FAQ for Far Cry

If that doesn't help, post your problem here with your system specs at the end of your post. This will help a lot with diagnosing your problem.
You should include at least:
CPU type (AMD or Intel) and speed
Amount of RAM (system memory)
Type of video card and driver version
Operating system (Windows XP,ME,98,NT)
Motherboard make, model, and chipset version (If you know)
Far Cry patch version (1.0, 1.1, 1.3, 1.31, 1.32, 1.33)
Any other features that might be pertinent like power supply, number of hard drives, etc.

To play online these days you MUST have the latest patch installed to login to UBI.com.
Get the 1.3, 1.31, 1.33 and 1.4 patches here:
