Far Cry expansion? My 6800GT is going to be in heaven this year with that and the Doom 3 expansion to play with.

Bud Light · 03-17-2005, 09:45 PM

I just installed farcry and man this game is awesome. Runs Great at my monitors max 1024/768 with everything maxed including ingame aa/af but I have one problem. The sand, huts, and some parts of walls indoors are extremely bright. Ive adjusted my monitor and that does nothing. I have not yet installed the patch because I have 2 download it and it takes me awhile. I know that will fix the black spots but what about the brightness?

Yuanji · 03-17-2005, 10:20 PM

the patch fixes some of the color balancing. everything looked much more yellow before i patched farcry.

shadowbreaker513 · 03-18-2005, 06:05 AM

My game looked like this before I patched it. - http://www.freepgs.com/shadowbreaker...%20problem.jpg

You need to patch it.

Tin · 03-18-2005, 01:23 PM

bah to all of the above

. im waiting for Rainbow Six: Lockdown

. also, i dont think an expansion for Farcry is coming...ever since EA Games purchased Crytek last year.

DragonNOA1 · 03-18-2005, 02:40 PM

second paragraph from the link starts out saying:

"First semester: four major launches, including Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Lockdown

This title... is ready for launch..."

Bud Light · 03-19-2005, 01:09 AM

I patched it with version1.3 and it looks great but now my framerate went down a bit. Anybody else notice this? Shouldnt the patch improve performance?

Edit: Here is a pic of a sweet looking bomb. Ofcourse I tried to shoot it

How in the world are you supposed to get past all the people on the top of the carrier? I figured out how to go down a level and shoot the chopper but then I go up to the top and it's impossible. There are about 67 Guys with machineguns.

Get to the minigun on the platform up top.

1 more question: How do I edit the config.exe file to make opengl my renderer?

DragonNOA1 · 03-19-2005, 06:30 AM

Or hide behind boxes and take your time, Rambo.

DragonNOA1 · 03-19-2005, 06:50 AM

The instruction is in the Far Cry readme file:

In your Far Cry directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Crytek\Far Cry), open system.cfg and look for the line r_Driver="Direct3D9". Change it to r_Driver="OpenGL". Please note that this renderer is unsupported by Crytek (or so it claims in the readme).

Jaggannath · 03-19-2005, 06:59 AM

I did a bit of both... first move was to waste the door gunner in the chopper, then kill the initial minigunners, hose the chopper, and then run to the minigun platform and knock the guys off the bridge as they try to run across.

And HOMM sounds exciting to me... I've always found lethargic games like that a bit of simple fun

shadowbreaker513 · 03-19-2005, 08:58 AM

Or do the easy thing. Jump off the side of the carrier, shoot the boat down, and drive away.

I never tried that. But, I did shoot the gunner in the heli and pick the others off one at a time. It took a while though. Man thats a cool game. I couldn't finish it without cheating though. That lava and those things shooting rockets, man was too much for me. I was ok once I got passed them. Thats the only spot I cheated.

That's the end of the game tho. You cheated at the end? Oh man... tsk.

Jaggannath · 03-19-2005, 07:17 PM

What a waste.... work hard the whole way and throw it away at the end
