I am crashing now too, but I get the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH with an nv4disp error. It's obviously related to my nvidia cards, but the drivers are recently installed and are the newest betas for Far Cry 2 that nvidia released yesterday.
Anybody having this issue too?...
===My PC Hardware===
Intel Quad Extreme 3.2Ghz // 4GB OCZ Platinum 1600Mhz // XFX 790i Ultra Motherboard // (2) GTX 280's in SLI // 300GB Velociraptor HDD // Razor AC-1 Soundcard // Windows XP SP3 OS // Cooler Master HAF 932 Case
I've bought the PC version of FC2 yesterday, and have since ran into 2 BSOD's too. Rather disappointing for what otherwise looks to be an amazing game.
My Setup:
Gigabyte P35-DS3L
C2D E6850
2GB OCZ DDR2-PC6400
GeForce 8800GT 512mb
Creative SB Audigy 4
2* 250GB Samsung HD
WinXP SP3
latest GeForce WHQL driver v178.24
First thing I'm gonna now try is remove al NV drivers with driver-cleaner to make sure all NV stuff is gone, then re-install the driver and give it another shot.
There is a new (beta) NVidia driver - 180.42, available at Guru3D.com, this driver has specific FarCry2 optimizations.
I just got the bsod. I just viewed the event viewer and it says
System Error
Symbolic Name: ER_KRNLCRASH_LOG
Message: Error code %1, parameter1 %2, parameter2 %3, parameter3 %4, parameter4 %5.
microsoft error reporting says its caused by audio software. I updated my sound card drivers before installing the game.
I updated my video card drivers to 178.24.
(7600gt)
Interesting...Mine are all nv-related.
Damn nvidia drivers. I even went to the last WHQL drivers and I still get BSOD. Only game that does this...except Crysis.

I may have fixed my issue. I will test it more tonight after work.
I uninstalled my video card drivers AND the nvidia physx drivers and installed the latest WHQL drivers.
I think it was the PhysX drivers...will know more later today.

Today I bought the PC version of Farcry 2
I also had 2 BSOD's immediatly followed by a reboot, and in my case I know when they come...
When I try to open a medikit box, I see the BSOD :s
My pc:
CPU: E6750
GPU: 8800GT 512mb
2GB Kingston DDR2 pc5300
Any solutions yet?
(for me probably: stay away from medic boxes and die :/ )
i'm getting BSOD with WHQL driver v178.24 too.
I'll try the 180.42
8800 GT
AMD 5200+
4GB RAM
XP Pro
BSOD again.
I've updated my drivers, nforce and video, used 2 different drivers, nothing helps.
I disabled SLI and it doesn't crash!
IS SLI THE PROBLEM? I insist on using both cards.
UBISOFT FIX THIS, it is a MAJOR problem!!!!!!!!!

I'm not using SLI and it's still blue screening.
Updated to the 180.42 and it's crashed again, but it went a lot longer before it crashed.
