Default 6800OC and Far Cry

I bought a BFG 6800OC with the free copy of Far Cry. The card works great
but the game freezes at the splash screen. I've applied the patch,
uninstalled/reinstalled and everything else I can think of. Has anyone else
heard of this?

AMD 64 2800 socket 754
GA-K8NSP F4 bios
Audigy 2
1 Gig Geil PC-3200 ram
Windows 2000 SP4

Do you have the latest drivers for you card ? Also the latest direct x ? I
remember when I first dl'ed the demo it wouldnt work until I installed the
latest nvidia drivers.

Apply the 67.02 beta drivers and also update your motherboard chipset
drivers. On your Creative Audigy 2 soundcard turn down the sound hardware
acceleration a notch or two. Reset the vieo card back to the default
settings from its overclocked setting.
