The Guru3D Far Cry 2 Thread

cimmer, do you have a desktop icon in that spot ? the black square looks to be the size of a desktop icon . in the games startup profile try disabling visual themes and desktop composition

 

Another over-rated but not-so-good game?.... we shall see

 

I think maybe the game was altered & then rushed near the to the publishing date, that's possibly why some of the destruction physics content seen in early videos is missing, why it was removed is yet to be discovered,it either caused massive slowdowns or crashes & I don't think it would have been removed from PC simply because consoles couldn't handle it
either.
Maybe there will be a 'missing PC content' patch due out shortly :banana:

 

hi people with this wide-screen fix what settings do i use for a 16:9 res @ 1920x1080

Is it comin out for you tomorrow in the US? Lucky bastards

 

I agree.... My mistake was I bought it thru Steam, which means I cant return it... All in all, it looks nice, but at the end of the day its a complete borefest, a huge disappointment and a waste of my hard drive space.

 

yeah game-spot called me today to tell me it will be in the store tomorrow. i pre-ordered it 2 months ago.

 

Just a quick question... Why dont I see the "start editor" option when I go to the map community section? I'd like to try making some maps, but I cant even find the editor Is it a separate download?

 

Try this:

X 1.15
Y 1.443

What the hell is this game about? totally blew out my mind just moments ago when i got a job to kill one of the faction leaders and of course they didn't like it very much. then i got to choose if i want go help my buddies or some other people and i choose to help my buddies, not so easy and i died but then i wake up middle of nowhere and there is this huge sandstorm going on and i'm like wtf wtf, oh i have to find shelter okay... but at one point i collapse and next thing i notice i wake up in some "house" and the jackal is talking to me how everything is going to hell and i get a mission to do some **** then go meet some guys in the desert and then game loads and i get message saying objectives updated, i look at my map and WOAH i'm in totally new place : O

 

Try this one:

X FOV: 1.31
Y FOV: 1.253

 

ahh, got it, thanks!

 

Got this on the weekend, took over 24 hours to download from Steam

Thoroughly enjoying it so far. Can't wait to get som better weapons however, it seems the AI can shoot me from a lot further away than I can shoot them.

 

What?

I assume you don't have Dial-Up, do you?

I started downloading it a few minutes after it was released and ~ 1 1/2 hours later I was able to play it...

Steam's usually always very fast for me.

 

Same, STEAM downloads average like 800 for me personally. Although I know many people with speeds that change erratically.

 

Actually I have DSL with a connection of 4Mb.
I live in New Zealand, my ISP is the local Steam cache however the Steam server went down and obviously FC2 was not cached locally when I went to download it. Normally if a game is cached locally I will get 200kbps+ through steam, however I was getting 20kbps at some points downloading FC2. Quite honestly the broadband situation in NZ is ****ed at the moment with too many people competing for limited bandwidth. We suffer from major bottlenecks during peak hours bringing most peoples broadband down to terrible speeds.

 

Yeah, I heard that the first time a few weeks ago. I was actually pretty surprised that NZ (and Australia, too, iirc) are having those kind of limitations and expensive prices. Time for some more underwater Internet tubes to NZ.

 

I also think my new flatmate might have been torrenting at the time I might need to switch off the wireless and claim ignorance next time I have an important download on the go :nerd:
