Far Cry Fix

[temp]

Thats cool and that explains why the 1.4 beta patch to allow HDR+AA at same time works on 1.3nocd cause there aint a nocd1.4 beta lol.

Again 1.33 is only for online and or linux etc, If like me you only play on your own the story game you only need patch 1.30 but since it seems it will still let you use a any nocd with 1.33 why not update

I havent played Farcry for a while now, but a lot of members are aware it is my favorite game.
Even tho I have been giving Battlefield 2 a hammering lately. Or I should say Battlefield 2 has been giving me a hammering!!

it's like Grumpy said.. the main executable didn't get updated by any of the patches (maybe by the new 1.4 one, haven't tried it), so the 1.0 NOCD exe is still valid for all versions up to 1.33.

I just stated above 1.4 patch lets you play with 1.3 nocd, so it obv dont change .EXE, its only a beta patch to let game run HDR along with AA which was not possible before, the actual gpus were not meant to be able to run HDr and AA at same time when launched (example n40/nvidia 6000 series) but this lets all 6000 & 7000 and new Ati cards run both turned on at same time, but still needs you to drop down the games console and enter 2 cmds after you have overwriten 2 games files with patched ones.

BTW It looks nice esp water with sky above it.

Also if still are trying to download file from magagames.com make sure you don't have download accelerator utilities running because don't work there and can give that kind error messages

wow. guys! firstly, thanks very much for all the suggestions. i thought perhaps i would get 1 or 2 VIEWS but didn't dream i get this many replies!! thanks very much

okay, to begin, i've inst patc 1.32. i've tried fixes for this and any / all subsequent versions of the game. the latest fix i have i grabbed from GCW. i extracted it to the ubisoft-crytek-farcry folder. still no joy. returns the following error:

CrySystem.dll Loading Failed:
the specified module could not be found

i have visited MegaGames again and revisited all of the mirrors. they all consistently return thefollow screen:
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 66.199.232.172. (change IP for mirror. you get the idea).

someone mentioned that megagames has problems with dload managers. i dont use one for firefox and have tried turning azureus off in case it messes with things but again, no joy on the downlaod.

i have installed and run the FFF crack-tro and FFF fcd-rue. they dont seem to do anything and truth be told, i have no idea what they're s'posed to do.

i tried reinstalling the game and working from the beginning. again no joy.

i know that the problem with the dvd is a hardware one. its copy-pro won't work on my dvd writer. other forums have confirmed this for me. i have updated the firmware for the dvd but again, no joy.

the thing that gets me is that i paid for this game. sure it was discounted but the principle remains the same. i am running all over tyring to get this thing to work when in reality, the stupid software company should make sure that their games are fully tested and hardware incompatibility problems addressed. i've spoken to ubi and they've done SFA about fixing the hardware issues the game encounters. they're not interested i've been told.

any more suggestions?

oh and thanks again.

Did you try to use fixed image mounted in daemon tools 4 instead of fixed exe?
