In reguards to the game settings.....you have written what FarCry manuel writers should have written. Well done.
I have printed your guide for the graphics and sound and stapled it to the back of the Farcry manaul. Smile

Your guide has allowed a crapy system like mine...

AMD Thnderbird 900MHz (100MHz FSB)
GeForce 5200 128 (agp 8x running at 4x)
kt133 DFI mother with max 4x agp
512 of pc133 RAM running at 100MHz fsb

...run even better than I could do my self being the Certified PC Tech and hardcore gamer that I am.

-------------------------------------------------
SIGH! It's almost time to get a new system.

Thanks guys, glad to see it's helping. As you say, I too believe a lot of this information should be in the game's manual, particularly regarding the effects of in-game settings.

However writing tweak guides is what I do, so I guess it's no skin off my nose Smile

Again, since the CryEngine engine is quite new, I may have got something wrong so please email me if you find any obvious mistakes.

My Machine is as tweaked as it will ever get.
i have a Account i created for gaming only. and i also launch thata ccount under a different hardware profile.

uptill now i thought i could get farcray as good as i can get it with it still being playable.

But thanks to you guide i was able to better fine tune the settings so i now have level 2 bump mapping and also have dynamic lights from my gun flare. This means in order to compensate i needed to tweak otehr things down. Now my FarCry looks even mroe beautiful then it did before! and i still have a good playable fps averaging 25.

This means in order to compensate i needed to tweak other things down(thingds that either werent essential for realism or that tweakign them down didnt produce any significant chang ein visuals but definatly gave back a few fps. Now my FarCry looks even mroe beautiful then it did before! and i still have a good playable fps averaging 25.

Nice guide though I wouldn't knock the omega drivers ( www.omegacorner.com )
I just downloaded the latest 2.5.36 driver for my Radeon 8500 64mb card. On my system (Athlon xp1800+, 512mb DDRAM) I had 20 second lock ups every now and then. If I drove a buggy I couldn't change direction without a freeze up. With the latest Omega driver I'm running 1024x768 32bit, textures medium, water, light and shadow low with the smoothness of James Bond in a night club!

Great guide! Thank you. I have always used the TweakTown guides Smile

*** THIS NEEDS A STICKY ***

A few corrections:

Corpse Stay - The maximum value is 999 when set from the in-game menu

Resolution - You can run Far Cry in lower res than 800x600 with \r_width 640, lower than 640 resolutions work too

Render Mode - You can change RM only by setting Special Effects Quality to high or above

Also, check out this little page: Far Cry Info

Excellent job PersianImmortal!!! This told me in more detail what some of the more advanced settings do that I was wondering about. Thanks for all the hard work. Guys like you are what make these forums worth visiting, and it should REALLY help a lot of the people having trouble getting the game to run well. Oh, and good job with the corrections/additions Mocib.

Aye, here here... *STICKY THIS*!

Thanks guys.

I've updated the guide to include the various tips suggested, and also to include the Systemcfgoverride.cfg tweak (on Page 9).
