Since posting the FarCry 1.2 patch yesterday I have received a ton of e-mail from ATi video card owners saying that FarCry, once patched, is booting them back to the desktop in both mutli-player and single player games. I installed the patch myself on both an ATi 9800XT box and a GFFX 5950Ultra box and sure enough my ATi box crashes to the desktop randomly. I called tech support and was told this:

We have received an alarming number of complaints from ATi card owners that are experiencing crashes after installing the 1.2 patch. The issue is being looked into. At this time we suggest re-installing your game without the 1.2 patch.

Thanks for the heads-up Force. I'll be sure to steer clear of it for now.

was just going to put that game back in, thanks for the warning

Correct. v1.2 is for nVidia owners. Considering that's the main issues it fixes, nVidia's problems with the game.

Hmm you think they would have actually tested the patch on different systems before releasing it. Oops

i was getting booted back to the desktop anyway.
