I wasted all my rockets on a bloody big monster the other night
(1.1)... I crept closer and closer so I could throw a grenade,
expecting any time he would rip my arms off, only to find I could
actually walk right up to him safely. He was dead, but standing...
Grrrr! I could have done with those rockets 2 minutes later!

Well... I'm already regretting installing it. :-((( Appears to work to some
degree if I start again from the start and then will lockup. I cannot load any
of my current levels... it locks or drops me back to the desktop. Not good,
especially as I stupidly did'nt copy the game directory, and whats worse is the
1.1 wont now re-install... thowing up an error in the process of installation.
:-(((((((((((( Not a happy bunny!
So word to the wise. Backup your 1.1 installation before installing this
patch!

Sometimes patches tend to make some registry changes,
so just copying old files back won't necessarily work and
will screw up things even more. But I guess it's quite rare.

So far so good. Played through two levels from existing save games and
everythings fine - a little smoother but no great difference. Hoping
they've fixed the sound problem - OK so far. Shaun

Do you still need to install patch 1.1 first?

1.1 already installed on mine and went OK but others have had problems.
Best place to search/ask is:

Hope this helps, Shaun

Patch 2 change log
Current changes:
a.. Made the run speed about 15% faster
b.. Made sprint last 30% longer
c.. Adjusted damage to vehicles
(vehicles now survive longer in multiplayer and behave consistently between weapon damage types) Bullet damage can be disabled by "g_vehicleBulletDamage" cvar: 0 = no bullet damage (default), 1 = bullet damage; this works only in MP.
MP vehicles can get the same damage from every kind of bullet (no distinction between sniper rifle and the deagle), this value is set by 'dmgBulletMP' variable inside 'DamageParams' table of the vehicle.
-buggy, humvee and gunboat can be destroyed with one rocket.
-bigtruck can be destroyed with three rockets.
-buggy and gunboat can be destroyed with 100 bullets (if g_vehicleBulletDamage = 1)
-humvee can be destroyed with 150 bullets (if g_vehicleBulletDamage = 1)
-bigtruck can be destroyed with 500 bullets (if g_vehicleBulletDamage = 1)
-vehicle damage code cleaned and made more consistent.

Added quicksave support for single player (still in process)
Sounds like they're saying "we added it, but it's still not done". So we
can't use it but it's there.

What the hell does this mean?
"High System Requirements
- Computer: A 3 GHz AMD processor or better is recommended."
So one of the system requirements to run at High is a processor that
doesn't exist?
Has anyone ever heard of an Athlon actually hitting 3 GHz? I might have
read something about some super cooling set-up on an Athlon64.
My point here is, I'm assuming they're actually referring to a PR 3000
Athlon, I just effin' hate the fact that FarCry labels my machine
"medium", I know it's not bleeding edge but it's better than "medium".

I have a Athlon64 3500+ with a 9500 Pro and 2 gigs of memory and theInglo said:
auto detect on Far Cry selected medium for my system. Now I'm not sure
if it simply puts every system at medium, but I was still a bit
disappointed that it put my new system there.

This is what I use for "quicksave". I hope I'm not stating the
bleeding obvious here
1. Hit the "~" key to bring down the console.
2. Type in (without the quotes) " \save_game ". DO NOT PRESS
"ENTER" YET!
3. Hold down the SHIFT key and press the HOME key.
4. Hold down the CONTROL key and press the "C" key.
5. Now press ENTER.
6. Now when you need to "quick save" just press the ~ key and
hold down CONTROL and press the "V" key, then release both keys and
press ENTER.
It's a kludge, I know, but beats nothing.

I guess it must be your video card it didn't like.
I have a 3Ghz P4, 1gig ram running dual channel and an AIW 9800SE
(pipeline unlocked, so it's a 9800pro really), and it auto detected me
to high.
Your system should have more ooomph than mine on every count except
the video card.
