Far Cry v1.2 Patch (65 mb) - 3DGamers
Far Cry v1.2 Patch (65 mb) - Worthplaying
Far Cry v1.2 Patch (65 mb) - FileShack

Changes:
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.

* Made the run speed about 15% faster
* Made sprint last 30% longer
* Adjusted damage to vehicles
* 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.

* Fixed framerate issue when player touched assault ammo pickups
* Fixed issue with password protected servers not removing password after restart

* Fixed message printout for multiplayer statistics (was only working with log_verbosity 1, not it works with 0 (default) as well)
* Fixed listplayer on the client (was only working on the server)
* Changed multiplayer scoreboard system for less bandwidth and easier extendibility
* Fixed bug in scoreboard that reported ping incorrectly by a factor of 2. Pings now appear correctly (half the old values). Note: ping is still the same, the output value was inaccurate)
* Fixed check in server/client version check (now you cannot connect to servers with old network code)
* Fixed bug in submitted Punkbuster ID causing random CD Key hash to be generated. Global ID unique to CD keys is now parsed correctly.
* Added MultiplayerUtils:OnChatMessage a script function which is called on the server for every chat message (to enable saving out chats)
* Made several changes to improve network packet scheduling

Sweet, dl'ed and installed. I've been thinking of playing through the single player again, but won't have time until after summer school is out. :-/

Anybody seen if there is any performance increase w/ the patch at all???

Yea, I would like to know that too. I'm still using the original version and...I've read that there have been problems using the x800pro (graphical issues). I have not experienced these problems myself and so I really don't want to fix something that's not broken.
 
I installed it and played a couple levels of single player. Everything seems amazingly, stupendously, astoundingly the same. Oh well.
 
so whens the 64 bit edition coming out? thats what im waiting for.

i didnt see anything new in this patch. even the so called 15% faster run isnt noticable.
 
Yeah the single player feels more or less exactly the same, and I could never get into the multiplayer to want to try that out. Bores me for some reason
 
Has anyone had a problem with their mouse when using a stationary gun? This is a pretty bad problem.
 
From all the new problems I've been reading about it seems like it creates more problems then it fixes... Maybe people should stick with 1.1
