Far Cry sucks the big one....

The buggiest game I have ever run and the only game which I have to
constantly restart to try and get rid of glitchy graphics, sticking
frames etc etc etc.
The game itself is good which only adds to the frustration - when they
say the first game Crytech have produced I can start to see what they
mean........

v56k left a note on my windscreen which said:

Runs with no problems here on my Radeon 9800 Pro and no problems on
friends' 5900 Ultra and Ti4600.

It does have a few oddities to be fair - I get glitchy textures occasionally
which flash, and sometimes the ground below helicopters goes grey.
I also had one really bad glitch where the entire environment messed up.
Besides these, no real issues.

Well first off I had to load the Forceware 60. drivers to make it work
without juddering.
Then it somtimes shows beyond a certain distance grey (trees etc are
just grey blobs) - other times I fire it up and its fine.
Now I have got as far as the "Regulator" map and it freezes occasionally
(I have to reboot the PC) and runs very jagged - slow frame rate etc.
A right royal pain.
I have tons of games and so far this is the only one to have caused me
these sorts of problems...

Pentium IV 2.8Ghz
GeForce5800Ultra
512MB RDRAM 1Ghz (PC1066)
Ultra-160 SCSI 36Gb drive

I havent had any trouble with mine (full version), except when all the
settings are at "highest" my older computer cant take it. I usually have
all the settings one step below the hightest and its fine. Make sure you
have the latest video drivers and even 512 ram seems low.

I recommend you get a hold of the Starstorm drivers. For this game they're a
revelation.

From the looks of things my problems are nothing compared with yours....

I think results vary from system to system.
I'm running a 1.6Ghz CPU and a GF4 Ti4400 with 45.23 drivers.
It plays ok,and i don't see any strange glitches you mention.
My PC seems to have a knack of handling most games very well.....

There's one exception to this....Lock On....it's very stuttery,so i'm
upgrading my CPU for this one.

Have you patched to 1.1?

Don't bother.
Lock on is the most demanding game out there.
No PC in the world can run it with full eye-candy at good framerates.
