All the talk about FarCry recently made me download the demo.. but.. it's not working out too well.. Anybody have any ideas? Is this the game, or am I doing something wrong.. I don't seem to have any problems with anything else..Fear looks great.

(Everything is running on Very High in FarCry)

This is on a 7800GTX btw..

It's running on the 78.01's..
And I'm not sure.. I've never played this game before.. but I just wasn't really expecting shadows to be large multicolored squares?

This could possibly be due to the fact that this is the demo. The demo came out before the retail game, and even in the original retail game there were issues with textures on NVIDIA cards. Only after at first patch (1.1) were they resolved. I haven't really played FarCry since I owned an FX5900, so I can't really say that this is your problem, but the Demo is probably 3 year old code.

Then again, isn't there another thread on this forum about FarCry texture issues with the 7-series... For what it's worth, IMO FarCry is a really fun game, but the code is somewhat buggy overall.

Yeah.. as far as I saw, the other thread was only related to blocky shadows on the forearm.. everything else seemed okay.. I'll have to borrow the retail version from a friend of mine to check how it runs with the patches.. Though image quality issues aside, this game has been very fun so far.. I'm excited to play the full version.

it's the demo...get the real game and get the newest patch...that fixes it right up :)

its from lack of 6/7 series support...

I had those same problems with the actual game (worse actually) - I had to upgrade to 1.32 to fix it.

Had the same problem pre-patch. (v. 1.0) Went away with 1.1 though.
