Anyone Pre-Order Far Cry 2?
Re: Anyone Pre-Order Far Cry 2?
After a couple days of troubleshooting my PC ,http://forums.legitreviews.com/about17971.html with this fix http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814102801,I am finally able to play this game. I have to say that I'm not that impressed. I'm only 8% into but I'm not digging it. But like a bad book I have to finish it. Maybe I need to give more time.
Re: Anyone Pre-Order Far Cry 2?
I'm starting to enjoy it more but the malaria thing is getting on my nerves.

Re: Anyone Pre-Order Far Cry 2?
I just got into act 2, and have played for about 2 hours without a single malaria event.

Re: Anyone Pre-Order Far Cry 2?
You're ahead of me then. I hate that you can't travel from place to place without getting into 30 firefights along the way. Sometimes you just want to accomplish the mission. I got the good sniper rifle...helps a lot on missions.vicaphit wrote:I just got into act 2, and have played for about 2 hours without a single malaria event.

Someone mentioned early to ride the buses. It doesn't show the bus station in the cease fire town but it's there.
Re: Anyone Pre-Order Far Cry 2?
I always check bus station proximity to my mission goals. Makes it soooo much easier.
Though I just found a jeep that has a grenade launcher on it, so maybe I will do a bit more driving.

Re: Anyone Pre-Order Far Cry 2?
I still haven't played it at all. I picked up Dead Space waiting for my copy to come in and now up I'm hooked. It's like a cross between Doom 3 and Bioshock. Great game.

I had some family over the holidays and somehow my computer got jacked up. I had this game loaded so I did not get to uninstall it. I guess I have reached my install limit. I'm F*cking done with this game. This game isn't even that good to be going though this hassle. To bad I can't give this game away and get it off my steam account.

Re: Anyone Pre-Order Far Cry 2?
I believe you can install the game without your internet connected so it doesn't try to register, then turn the internet on after it fails to register, uninstall the game, then try to re-install and register like normal. I heard this works, but never tested it myself.
Or you could just go to the ubisoft website and download the working EXE as it says in the troubleshooting area of the website.

Re: Anyone Pre-Order Far Cry 2?
Download a working EXE, are you talking about getting from a torrent site. I'm done with this game, I'm not going to hassle with a game that is just OK. Ubisoft
Re: Anyone Pre-Order Far Cry 2?
No, not getting it from torrents. Ubisoft has a working EXE posted on their own troubleshooting site for people who cannot register the game electronically. It is funny, but EA does it too.

Re: Anyone Pre-Order Far Cry 2?
Isn't that a no-cd crack that EA have hosted on their site?

Re: Anyone Pre-Order Far Cry 2?
It is, it also bypasses the activation also. The FarCry 2 exe doesn't make it a "no-cd" exe.
