Far Cry doesn't load up?

[Illah]

Anyone every have this problem? I've googled it to death and can't figure it out.

I got a copy of Far Cry with my BFG 6800OC and I never bothered playing it until now. Problem is 'playing' isn't really accurate, the game doesn't load! I get a 'error occurred, send error report' deal every time I try and play. I've tried it patched, unpatched, tried the latest nVidia drivers, rolled back to version 67.66, etc. with no luck. I'm lost.

The weird part is the game *has* loaded twice. The first time was rather random and the second was right after a re-install. I quit, tried to play again, and it started crashing on load all over again.

My machine is overclocked but super-stable, and my video card isn't overclocked at all. I can tell this is specific to Far Cry, no other program gives me the slightest problems.

Any ideas?

Well, I fixed it. For those interested in the details, I found a post online about the problem after *much* searching that identified the problem: overzealous copy protection mechanisms. Apparently for some people the copy protection will falsely mark your computer and prevent the game from loading. To fix the problem I had to circumvent the protections despite having a legit copy of the game. As for how to get around the protections, well, I'll leave that to your imagination...
