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

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. 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.

Yeah it's so evil this is the only game this happend in.. 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.

I just had to buy something from the computer for the bar to open up, dealer is still MIA and its a little unintuitive if you ask me. Still having the issue leaving the stationary gun emplacements though.

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.

gotta use E to leave turret

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.

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 !

NOTE TO ALL ATI OWNERS - FLICKERING PROBLEM FIXED BY DISABLING CATALYST AI

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!
