Here is another Mirror for the patch

(1.3 - 1.4 standalone)
http://www.fangaming.com/fileinfo.php?fileid=279&gameid=151


(1.4 cumulative)
http://www.fangaming.com/fileinfo.php?fileid=280&gameid=151

The patch can be summed up in one word ... but that word won't make it through the language filter

Hehe after doing a fresh install of Far Cry I join a server but now my mouse is just for show.. ^^

AND the ******** thing doesn't even uninstall properly

come on, we have to give it a few days before complaining, be a little bit constructive here. Give it a try !!

what i dont understand is the "put out ur scripts6.pak" thing. Why should i remove my ssmod? isnt it needed anymore? is there a new version or what?

I've given it 20 minutes, now I am uninstalling FarCrt and will not be back Goodbye

I have now tried both sp and mp but in both my mouse can't be used for looking around.
I can fire my gun but not aim it.
Mouse now only works in menu.
Weird beans.
Any help would be appriciated.

@Alex: Welcome back m8... Always nice to see Crytek here, hopefully you can help with some of the problems being reported...

Hey, maybe UBI come along and explain the release philosophy?

@Clivey: That will teach you to turn up on time... I tested that in an empty server

@Doc: I asked about SSM in the dim and distant past , this and the Jungle replacement should have been in the readme... Will hopefully hook up with you later in the week as there is something that if I can get permission needs adding to 3.8 post 1.4
@Grumpy: Correct... does not uninstall correctly so you cant reinstal after you have deleted mp_jungle.... it reports it already has a later patch installed. But seriously, yours is an opinion I value highly, what are the issues other than installation that you are so upset about?

@Jager: Have you installed the right version of the patch?

CuZ

Impressive documentation on the Project FiXit - very nicely done. I dont have an opinion yet on the gameplay cause i didnt play FC for some weeks - except, i like the melee-wrench

Great! What about ATI HDR capability? I had no time to dl the patch yet. HDR wouldn't work with my 1900 with the last patch. (1.33 I think).

...... Clivey leaves the forum very quietly

To clarify some problems:

1. To get your mouse back working go into the options -> controls and set everything to default. This should help

2. About the uninstalling: No FC patch ever could've been uninstalled properly without leaving some new files left in the Far Cry folder. No FC patch ever has a backwards compatibility included.

I can understand some concerns about the gameplay. It includes some dramatic changes which our, in our eyes, necessary to balance the gameplay. Far Cry 1.33 consisted of three weapons in multiplayer - Desert Eagle, Sniper and M249. All other weapons weren't used at all or only by a few players. To change that we we had to adjust some weapon stats. Yes, this affects gameplay and yes you need time to re-learn some weapons. But if you are willed and if you give the patch a small chance then get into it, try every single new content and see that it will work out

Even inside our dev team we had concerns about the balancing, but after playing several matches we saw that the stuff actually worked. Now every primary weapon is worth a try and of course on some weapons you really need some train and skill to hit, but wouldn't it be too boring to be able to hit w/o 10 minutes of training?

Give the patch a chance and try to be a bit more constructive.

Thanks,
-Alex

@Cuz- Ahh I see what you mean now about future-proofed. I guess my answer should've been no then. Much of GLSSM has been absorbed into the patch, so really the next version of it will be much smaller and only adding features/changes as necessary from 1.4. Much of Godlike's commands are in the patch now with just a gr_ in front instead of gl_. Of course, there is quite a few new ones. Just a reminder to all...just check the Server_Command_Table.pdf in your Support\Manuals folder.

@FliegerAas- I answered your question above.

Ok I gave it a chance, played a match, got fed up with over 5000 ulost in 20 mins. Unplayable.
This game is finished. Bye bye

You forgot the m4, the engineer was perfect how it was before imo, now the engineer is completely unstoppable.. it's everything you could ask for and more.. it's bad enough when the engi is doing circles around grunts at the flag like before but now he has a knife? (wrench that sounds/does same dmg as knife)...

rofl i mean check out the engi now, hes equipt'd with an m4/health/pistol/wrench(knife).. so now when your doing laps around grunts while trying to cap a flag with the m4 even more powerful then it was before you can easily get 2-4 kills with an m4, lay down health, then knife people..
If anything you should be able to melee but it shouldn't do as much dmg as a knife, or make it so you can only use it every couple seconds.

when i went into 3-4 different servers today, 90% of the server was engineers.. and iv only saw a few grunts today, and they had the oicw/ag36.. the saw is pointless..

also the m4 was very powerfull before, it was perfect. now it's just overkill.

another thing for matches, for around 2 years? bulletproof has been playing together and in matches our default set up is 1 engineer, 4 grunts, and 1 sniper (6v6). depending on the map we may have 2 snipers, or 2-3 engineers, or even depending on the flag the oicw/ag36 can be useful.. as one of our members used an oicw during our match on sunday in HTGN league.Now our setup for this patch would be 5 engineers and 1 sniper. or 4 engineers and 2 snipers. as the m4 is so powerful the engineer class makes the grunt class look like pussies. also taking into consideration that the new melee wrench is now primary/secondary weapon for the engineer...


Team BulletProof server is running Cliveys 1.33 gun fix on our server, he is currently making an update fix, and im pretty damn sure more will take this route.

just my 2 cents, lateeee

Don't look at this post as a flame, I'm in a kinda happy mood really.

Woppey 1.4 came out.
It was almost unreal!

I downloaded the upgrade from 1.3xto 1.4 and installed.
Played some and noticed that my lost packets where going for the roof even worse with ulost.
In a 20minutes game I lost more packets in 2.6 years of gaming combined ^^ I stopped counting after I hit 1600.
Then the map changed to the new jungle and I feel the thrill of excitement but no.. what is this..? Level mismatch?
But I just upgraded?
Oh well I've suffered so much why not suffer some more ^^
I try to rejoin another server for a couple of minutes but no.. Its not meant to be.

So in a desperate attempt to see if I could fix this problem I uninstall Far Cry and reinstall it with the 1.0 to 1.4 patch.
Then when I'm finaly ingame again I can't look around with my mouse ^^
After spending some time on forums and other stuff like that and no solution being found a friend suggests to reset my controlles to default which I do and my mouse works.
Why I have no clue but I play for a few hours and try to use the m249 and the other weapons.
Its very different but still its some fire in the m249 is left.
But its dead for long distance, You have to lay down to get good accuaracy and when the oppsition stick to scoped weapons you can tell who wins.
So m249 coupled with heatseeking bullets is welcomed.
Its not just me who has experience a rise in packetloss so its annoying but what can one do.

The new patch brings back memories from the 1.1 days when we where making the switch to 1.2
P90 was a automatic sniperrifle, its still quite good but no where near 1.1
And now the M249 had to be wounded.
A massive recoil which makes it impossible to use it at long distance unless you want to die by sniper fire or other scoped weapons.

Still havent gotten around to play the altered maps since no one on the server wanted to.
Looking forward to see the difference.

Peace..

Installed Patch 1.4 tried to join different Server but i get only a Kicked message, nothing more! What do i have to do, to play online? Buying more than 2 Copies of Far Cry i already have? Does this Fix the Problem for Christ Sakes!!!

When this Problem Occurs in Crysis the Same Way like in FarCry, i will never buy a Crytek Product again, thats for sure!

Ive,
Only played a few short games and from what I have seen thus far a real assesment of what the Patch might result is a bit early too tell. I know some of the overall views posted here have a negative tone to them, I will play for a while before either condeming or accepting the Patch and all it has to offer. I think once more servers load it and more of the cmmunity has had time to actually play it, then a better view of what we may like or dis-like could be drawn..................

So til then,
Thanks for the release, because it took alot of the support from several within the community to put this togather, and because of that, I honestly believe it deserves more than a "Hey I played it for a DAY Review!

Sincerely,
JOHNNY_REB_
