FarCry 1.2 Patch

CombatCow · 22-07-2004 8:34am

Just as a note to ppl using audigy cards,you will have to uninstall farcry then re-install it and apply JUST the 1.2 patch or else your sound wont work at all,dont think 1.2 will support older savegames either :dunno:

Running and stamina speed has increased a lot,it's much better now,also the rocket lancher has to reload after every shot

...also the OICW can only have 3 nades loaded instead of 5...which should stop a lot of nadespamming.

Dont know if performance is increased with the patch yet.

Doesnt really look like a necessary patch unless you use multiplayer. (They fixed all the big bugs in 1.1

)

I am on last level of single player so won't bother installing it yet.

Installed the patch this morning and got a small boost of 8-10fps .Nothing major i know , but every little helps

Agent Orange · 22-07-2004 1:35pm

And, uh, does it have the long sought after quicksave functionality?

Stephen · 22-07-2004 1:58pm

just use the console - /save_game name
once you type it once you can just press arrow up to get it again and again

MiCr0 · 22-07-2004 2:41pm

any one fancy mirroring it in ireland?

po0k · 22-07-2004 3:05pm

I would, but a disk in our server died

And can't mirror it in work, it's not really appropriate material

Poke the maths.tcd.ie crowd. They like to show off their gig connection.
Bastards.

tman · 22-07-2004 4:13pm

eh... 65MB and no quick save function???

apparently it would be too much work integrating a quick save feature in the game... expect it in the next patch release.

i'm not up the programming side of things, but isn't quicksave just an alias and a keybind?

They said it was to do with the AI which would be difficult to "save" in a single state, or something.

neokenzo · 22-07-2004 5:21pm

I have an audigy card and I didnt need to uninstall the game. I just install the patch and everything work fine.
Was playing on a private server yesterday and there was no change to the Rocket Launchers or OICW which is weird.

tuxy · 22-07-2004 5:24pm

have they finaly released a linux server version?
was very stupid to release the game with out a linux server option
its no suprise it hasnt realy taken off as a multiplayer game

Far Cry v1.2 patch withdrawn

"Far Cry patch 1.2 has shown unexpected behavior on specific hardware configurations. These matters are mainly due to incompatibilities with several optimizations brought lately to the code, with the intent to please a large number of users.

We’re currently asking Crytek to work on delivering a new patch as soon as possible. Until then we have decided to remove the patch 1.2 from the official Ubisoft websites."
