Patch 2 change log



Current changes:



a.. Made the run speed about 15% faster
b.. Made sprint last 30% longer
c.. Adjusted damage to vehicles


(vehicles now survive longer in multiplayer and behave consistently between weapon damage types) Bullet damage can be disabled by "g_vehicleBulletDamage" cvar: 0 = no bullet damage (default), 1 = bullet damage; this works only in MP.

MP vehicles can get the same damage from every kind of bullet (no distinction between sniper rifle and the deagle), this value is set by 'dmgBulletMP' variable inside 'DamageParams' table of the vehicle.



-buggy, humvee and gunboat can be destroyed with one rocket.

-bigtruck can be destroyed with three rockets.



-buggy and gunboat can be destroyed with 100 bullets (if g_vehicleBulletDamage = 1)

-humvee can be destroyed with 150 bullets (if g_vehicleBulletDamage = 1)

-bigtruck can be destroyed with 500 bullets (if g_vehicleBulletDamage = 1)



-vehicle damage code cleaned and made more consistent.

Sounds like they're saying "we added it, but it's still not done". So we
can't use it but it's there.

What the hell does this mean?

"High System Requirements

- Computer: A 3 GHz AMD processor or better is recommended."

So one of the system requirements to run at High is a processor that
doesn't exist?
Has anyone ever heard of an Athlon actually hitting 3 GHz? I might have
read something about some super cooling set-up on an Athlon64.

My point here is, I'm assuming they're actually referring to a PR 3000
Athlon, I just effin' hate the fact that FarCry labels my machine
"medium", I know it's not bleeding edge but it's better than "medium".

I have a Athlon64 3500+ with a 9500 Pro and 2 gigs of memory and the
auto detect on Far Cry selected medium for my system. Now I'm not sure
if it simply puts every system at medium, but I was still a bit
disappointed that it put my new system there.

I guess it must be your video card it didn't like.

I have a 3Ghz P4, 1gig ram running dual channel and an AIW 9800SE
(pipeline unlocked, so it's a 9800pro really), and it auto detected me
to high.

Your system should have more ooomph than mine on every count except
the video card.
