Some of the mp fixes were useful, and that's what's important to me. They should just trash the entire interface and redo it though. At least the ranked game server list isn't so useless now.

I am trying to get back to the 1.00 version in steam, but I'm having trouble. I hit "delete local files" or whatever and re-downloaded it, but it was still patched (and it had all my save games). Maybe it installed it from a backup or something?
If I backup my save games, is there a way to get the 1.00 version back? I have the Steam version...

Well, at least it seems that the patch actually fixes a few things for the Single Player game (I never play online multi).
I'm glad I waited to install it. I've had the game more than a week and it's still in the box. I already have the latest CATs (Far Cry 2 "patch" as AMD calls it) and all other games are working fine.
Ironically, the official FC2 homepage says nothing about the patch. :roll: Ubisoft really screwed the pooch with this one. Any game publisher's/developers web page for the game should be the first place the patch shows up. IMO.
*edit*
Can someone please verify that the patch is indeed 42MB? I've downloaded it 5 times from 5 different sites on Gamershell.com and it's been 20.4MB every time. I trust the patches on GH; I've never had any problem DL'ing from there.

The exe auto-downloaded from Ubisoft is 42MB. The file i've seen available in several places across the net is zipped down to 20-something MB. If you unzip it there should be a 42MB exe file in there.
I compared the one available here: worthplaying.com to the exe direct from Ubisoft and it appears to be the same.

Thank you, DanDeighan; you were 100% correct.
I just figured a 20MB download had to be bad b/c I've never seen a patch zipped down to 1/2 it's original size. My unzipped patch is 42.2MB.AND....I'm loading the game now!
Expect to see me posting in the "Now that FC2 is out" thread, soon.

After getting shot in the back by a guard station I had cleared, I went and downloaded the trainer. The gameplay is stupid repetitive, and all I really care about is the story, so I'm just trying to get through it. I think this is a 1 and done game.
