Far Cry 2

Anyone else got this?

Anyone else disappointed? Lot's of to'ing and fro'ing, fire is over-rated. It's run of the mill at best. I'll write more when I can be bothered if anyone is interested.

5/10 in my book , i was very disapointed to be honest, i would not recommend:g:

gfx wise its good but i thought the gameplay is a little weak, only played it for 2 hours so far though

I agree completely. Very disappointed. Gfx were quite bland (though with everything turned up to high i still had no problems, even without the ATI hotfix). Gameplay just very bland and samey. Voice acting is atrocious. There's no real sense of plot or progression. I'm gonna see if I can trade my copy in for Red Alert 3 or Fallout 3. Got about 4 hours into it and just gave up in boredom. Luckily, i've just (finally) worked out how to play a Pally and have fun, so i'm revisiting an old character on WoW instead

Yea I tend to agree, Im really trying to like it, but Im a bit bored with the same gameplay all the time .  Ill give it a bit more time only about 4 hours in.  Anybody tried multiplayer yet?

There seems to be a bad response to this game pretty much everywhere you look, disappointing really.

I like it. I must say the driving seems a bit much. Maybe quick travel between safe houses rather than just bus stations. I like how it's more RPG than FPS, choosing between guns, upgrades etc.
I've barely scratched the surface, but i've no big issues with it just yet.

My biggest issue is that I can only play in DX9 not DX10 (it crashes after 5 mins in DX10)

So much for my monster BFG GTX280 OCX

my gtx260 runs it at max in dx10 and doesnt crash, try riva and lower the clocks slightly if its stable send bfg an email explaining the fault, they may let you rma the card...worth a try:)

I've only just received this as a replacement for another card I RMA'd

Lots of people are having the same prob in Vista, part of the issue is a conflict with aero which I have disabled but still no go (even tried latest beta drivers that others seem to have found solves the prob for them but no joy)

im on the mid oct drivers and aero is running, just confirmed im defo dx 10 as well...strange, was it the steam d/l or a disc like me?

disk using 180.24 beta (had the WHQL drivers before that) - I'm 64bit Vista.

This must be an nVidia specific problem then. I'm using an ATI 4870 in Vista 64 DX10 mode, everything turned up very high at 1920x1200, and it runs smooth as you like and i've had no crashes. I still don't like the game much, but at least it's stable...

One thing that is bugging me - why can't I turn HDR rendering on? The tickbox is greyed out.

hmm im on vista64 ult as well, installed it on to my sons ath38x2 and x1950 and it still ran and looked good and his drivers are a year old.....
 
im at a loss although in work today i will have a google around to see if its a common problems
