Thursday 07.15.2004  Far Cry 1.2 Patch Update
 
 
 

Once again, we want to let you know that Far Cry patch 1.2 is close to being released. We were about to release this week as planned, when a hardware manufacturer code update forced us to modify the patch accordingly. It took a couple of days to make it work without breaking anything else. We think it is worth the extra wait, as it's all about making sure everyone enjoys the best experience possible, both in terms of gameplay and performance.
Yesterday, a new solid patch candidate left for what we hope is the last series of tests.

We are all looking forward to releasing this very ambitious Far Cry upgrade, and we know we need to give it our best to make sure we live up to your expectations.

Thanks again for your patience

That is one very argumentative statement

but i hear that with this upgrade, my newly purchased GeForce 6800GT OC will take advantage of the new graphical features.

tekie, what card do you have? I have a ti4200 atm and can run the game @ 800x600 all settings maxed with 60fps

I sympathize tekie, I haven't been able to play it until recently with my proc, ram, and mobo upgrade, and as Pride says, it is the best single player game ever. I'm not very far into it yet but when those trigems jump up at you I literally get chills down my spine. I got the same feeling when I played Half-Life with those crabby things that jumped up on your face (I forget their name). And that was considered the best single-player game EVER at the time.

Well, IMO best single player game was x-wing (old dos game) that game just kicked so much ass.

But hopefully i'm ordering a new card SOON and will be able to play it. (I need the card so I can do doom 3 :-D)

turn the lights off, turn your speakers up, and just listen... I've broken 2 joysticks out of fear when i played it. I get way too immersed in it, and if you have ever played on the Insane difficulty all the way thru.... the nerves get so bound up.

the bots coming out of the shadows without a sound, and then all of a sudden *SCREECH*!! you are flyin around tryin to figure out what the hell that was. I suppose its all in the sound. Thats the only game i blast the speakers for. Its the only game WORTH blasting the speaks for.

But to each his own. Played Silent hill games... Scary, but not fun.

not a fan of farcry

Think I can run FarCry?

Here are my specs

Pentium 4 3.2ghz
512mb DDR memory
ATI Radeon 9200SE 128mb card
