64 bit far cry

[the splat in the hat]

Anyone had this problem ?

Installing 64 bit far cry over 32 bit far cry via patch , installs first part then when patching comes up '' could not complete installation 1628''.

Any ideas ?

my system 4400+ , 7800 gtx, 2 gig ram , xp/64/32/bit op , pro , far cry is an original not hacked copy, and 1628 in my search bar is some sort of info retriever , am l wrong ?

Did you install patch 1.3 and 1.31? Also you need the Enhanced Content Pack for 64, links on http://www.farcry.ubi.com/

Do NOT install the 64 bit version of FarCry. It is an unstable mess. You can not play FarCry64 online anymore despite what Ubi may tell you, the game will crash completely randomly in single player and there will also be all sorts of glitches(a door that is required to complete the level will not open for some reason, or a group of enemies that is supposed to come and attack you will never arrive).

You have been given fair warning.

didn't crash single player when we tested it out. didn't try multiplayer though. if you are a sniper you get extra view distance. i think it is worth doing if you dual boot.

Thanks people , l was missing the extra content pack at 420 megs , so its sorted , my op system is 64 bit / 32 bit pro.

It is entirely random. When I first had it, I played through the first 4 levels on hardest difficulty before I started experiencing problems.

In a bit more detail , l had to kill ALL 32 bit processes in taskmanager for this patch to install, except IDriver and msiexec , everytime l killed them the install copped 1607 runtime error, after 4 attempts and a reboot or three ! It works , but like ''dguy6789''
said there are some issues with it, l have found it not to work online , the colours are not a major improvement , the new maps are ok , it does look prettier , but its not a very good exsample of 64 bit gaming , you can tell its a 32 bit game patched to 64 , you keep all your saved games but loose your profile , so you gotta set your buttons up again.
Overall a bit dissapointing but its 1 of those things you need to see for yourself , l recon the first 64 bit coded only game will be a vast improvement on far cry 32*/64*.

One can only hope anyways.......
