Farcry.. does it work for you?
« Reply #30 on: April 13, 2004, 05:38:10 AM »
Really enjoying the game multiplay but I can't play any further single play as the game crashes at one point.

****SPOILER DON'T READ IF YOU'VE NOT GOT TO THE REGULATOR LEVEL****




I'm at the end of the 'Regulator' level and the start point I'm at is right before you blow up the computer console where there is one merc and one technician in orange overalls and head out into the large courtyard area where the Merc's helicopter in. I can load this startpoint once but if I die and try to reload it ut crashes me straight back to desktop. I can complete this section and blow open the fan cage and walk through where it shows me the cut scene showing the mutated Merc's breaking free from their cages but then it crashes me back to desktop as the cut scene ends.


****END SPOILER****

It's frustrating as I've enjoyed the single player so far, not had a game make me jump like this since Wolfenstein. I'm using an ATi 9800 Pro 256mb card and used Catalyst 4.3 and 4.4 drivers, updated my Nforce chipset drivers too but no joy.

The other mild annoyance are the rockets in multiplay, been in a lot of games where people have just left when the rockets start firing as they unbalance things. The engineer's job is pointless after a few of these guys turn up and you have to be quick to get near these guys as they reload so quickly.

My system:

XP2500+  @ 2.2ghz (3200+ spec)
1gb ram
9800 pro cat 4.4's
nforce 2 board and using onboard sound

Fortunately I've never had lockups or kicks to windows, from the UBi boards Revvin you are not alone, seems most seem to blame it on video, but I'm not so sure thats the issue...

What you using for sound?  If you are using onboard sound, try getting just the audio driver and not the unified nforce drivers.

I was playing it on my laptop.

1.8 gig, 512 ram. With a Radeon 9600.

Worked fine for me, no CTD's or anything.

Finally beat the demo! It was tough. Hate the lack of quicksave though. It's a real drag to have to go way back every time. It makes you stop playing it in fact. Still, lovely looking game and it doesn't need totally top hardware.

farcry is ok. I'm having fun.  I get the really weird feeling playing this game that I am on a mini golf course. I guess its the ground . The palm tree and green felt grass give me the illusion.
