And finally the gameplay I've seen a dozen times already, nothing new there. At least Doom3 can actually be scary, thats a quality FC never has at no point.

This all might sound harsh, yet I bought FC the day it came out. And as I said, the graphic engine was ahead of its time. Months before D3 and HL2 came out, we saw a game like no other and I'm confident CryTek will come up with a killer engine when they're done with CryEngine2. Thankfully, it will not be used in FarCry 2 - at least not in the first game. :)

I've never had that happen. Marines would hide behind rocks or crates and duck below them once they finished shooting at you. The little jumping mutants would hide in corners, waiting for you to poke your head in. They would also attempt to surround you, with two teams of enemies coming from each side. The best part was that it was all random. The AI could take one method of killing you, you'd reload, and then they would do something completely different.

Doom 3 scary? Hardly. It's just the same old shock factor that's been around for years, with zombies and imps that pop out of dark rooms. Nothing scary about that. Not to mention that they had no variety in their attacks, as they always did the same old thing over and over.

I haven't installed the content yet (recently reformatted my drive and just reinstalled FarCry a day or two ago), but now that I see this thread again it's reminding me that I should. If I remember to do that soon, I'll try to compare your shots to how it looks on mine. :p

(Dug, the guy who created this thread, is away for an internship and probably won't be back for a few more weeks.)

It's hard to tell by the pics you posted. Actually the traing mission doesn't do the patch any justice. Wait till you get to the pier level, post some pics from there and I'll let you know if you got the patch installed right

Thanks Dug777! Was replaying fc for the fifth time or so (still like this game) and stumbled accross this. Outside of the occassional flickering texture - works great with my ancient system.

:beer: :beer:

You should probably try uninstalling, and reinstalling everything from scratch.

Eugh, and you definately need some AA in those shots.

Allright, and let me remind you that Even with Dual 7800Gt's in SLI it's phisically impossible for them to do HDR+AA (and HDR was on in those shots...I think.

I hear that...I'm going back through the last two years and running games proper once my new hardware arrives.

Oh, and as to the story being weak...I still don't know what the heck was going on in Serious Sam but I loved every second of it! :)

just use the modded patch that allows you to install the 64 bit content package in 32 bit windows

does this include all of the content from the regular 2 patches? since that one is only about 350mb.

Has anyone gotten the HDR + FSAA patch to work? I installed it but I can't seem to get them both to run at once.
