issues with farcry

[elitebear4]

well i decided to pick up far cry the other day and was really excited to play. i popped the game in and encountered an issue that i had faced with the demo. even when i put in my video settings, the game doesnt seem to actually apply them. i have my settings set at medium, but when i play the game, the graphical settings are CLEARLY set at low, as if i hadnt even modified them. has anyone ever experienced this issue and solved it? ahhh

It's possible that the FarCry executable v.1.0 does not properly implement things that are supported by your card. (Several revisions to the game have been made since v.1.0 to implement new visuals and ways of rendering those visuals.)

Got patches? Got latest drivers?

I can only change the settings right after I launch the game and before I actually start playing. Once I start playing if I go back to the video options I cant change AA anymore until I restart the game.

Launch the game put your settings where you want them, apply them, then shut down far cry, restart far cry and see if they stayed.

Other than that I've never had a problem aside from driver related HDR weirdness thats been fixed.

Get all the patches too

sigh. i apologize for creating this thread before even doing any research. i just checked out the far cry forums and found out that this occurs because the game was released BEFORE 6600 support existed. so yeah, the 1.3 drivers should fix it up nicely. thanks anyways

I should have checked that before I completely uninstalled. Not motivated enough to try a reinstall. Meh.
