bah, Far Cry didnt impress me - was fun to fool around with, but i got sick of it after awhile, felt boring to me a lot of times... anyways, what id really like to see be worked on is Sims 2 support - you think they wouldev already had support for it :?

Whats the deal with Far Cry anyway? Is it just a nice looking FPS? I didn't really pay attention to its release.

Far Cry is a *very* nice looking FPS. Gameplay is good too -- you do get to ride around in vehicles (including boats and a hang glider). Best of all, enemy AI is freaky, and going in with guns blazing is almost always a bad idea, at least for a amateur like me.

I found farcry boring after dealing with those stupid ape creatures for like 20 levels. I just got bored. The beginning of the game was great, ride around in a jeep and run people over. I kept on playing for awhile hoping to get to some more cool stuff, but eventually lost interest. And the story... oh... nm

Even with this new version, I still can't get Far Cry working. Should I use the OpenGL renderer or the D3D9 renderer? Should I use the Loki installer or just try to work with the one on the cd?

My guess si D3D, since FarCry is not OpenGL (I think).

Heh, well, I'll share what I have figured out so far. The D3D9 renderer is the supported one. I installed Far Cry via the Loki installer, so it is automatically nocd patched and upgraded to 1.1. I have a Geforce 6800, so everything is set to veryhigh. Unfortunately, whenever I start a level, the camera appears in a weird place, and whenever I move the mouse, It appears in a different weird place sometimes across the island. Weird.
