The far cry 2 thread!
Alright, apart from custom maps... lets discuss the epic win that is far cry 2.
My system defaulted to all high graphics, and i left it there - its running nice and smooth. (not sure if DX9 or DX10 tho) Memorable moments so far: * Setting a chicken on fire, and then running like hell as the whole friendly base caught alight from it. * firing a rocket at an oncoming jeep, to have the flaming debris fly up and smack me in the face. My "best buddy" then came in and dragged me from the wreckage *driving into what i thought was a friendly town, until they all started ramming me in their cars and shooting at me. Flamethrower solved that problem

Can you run the benchmarker,its in the bin folder and post your result.We might as well use this thread to post them in,unless someone wants to make a new thread just for the purpose.

This game does sound good to be honest and i am looking for another game. I resorted to digging my copy of X3: Reunion and after flying around for 5 minutes straight and not getting anywhere I remembered why I put it at the bottom of the box.
How does this game compare to Crysis for example? i.e will i be able to play it on my computer?

Yeah my new theory is to try EVERY game before buying it. I've been let down by demoless games too often but I still want to support the games worth playing.

Just for shits and giggles last night i tried to download the game to see how bad the seeds/peer ratio was and what my d/l speed would be. I got 0.7kB/s down and up on the torrent and it would have taken me 2 years to d/l.

lol. With all the different images on the trackers I wish people would have just use one or two files like Assassins Creed with the 6000+ seeders before the game was even released. Ironically the cracked/nuked version played better than the retail version I got for my bday.

Awesome game! It's very smooth at 1680x1050 all maxed out with 4xAA and a 4870 at 850/1050
![]() ![]() I find it does stutter a lot though. Sometimes, every 1 or 2 seconds it'll freeze for a split second and then resume. I'm using the ATi hotfix too. EDIT: Also found some nvidia far cry 2 drivers: http://techreport.com/discussions.x/15746 links available there. |

Well if you have a 512mb 4870 it might just not have the ram available to load the large textures. If is stutters @ lower resolutions then I would assume your right about the driver though. Maybe a good round of defragging will help also.

Quick note for ATI users, try using 2x AA instead of 4, performance is worth it the TINY IQ loss; as well as Very High Shadows instead of Ultra High.
I noticed some things I was not prepared for gameplay and control wise. There's no prone..no leaning..and iron sights/zoom is a momentary maneuver, rather than toggle. Also, mouse acceleration.. AWFUL. I cannot stand force acceleration. The Gamerprofile.xml seems to indicate nothing about this. Where are the files to modify engine commands?

Be warned, there is a serious activation issue with this game. I have never ran into an issue in this manner. it allows you to add your key then says its not able to activate. Steam forums say ubisoft is reactivating a ton of keys I guess, but it just makes me wonder WTF they were thinking releasing bunk keys!
I have contacted suport and looked in the forums and so far there are no answers, I hope to hall they get this sorted FAST. Concider yourselves lucky, those who are in already!
