As soon as I start up farcry

In that case, Im guessing a display driver issue with the intro vids. Do you happen to get any sound?

I would try removing the intro videos - I dont think there is a command line you can tag on to the EXe shortcut, but you can replace certain video files with 0byte ones and it will cause the intro vids to be skipped.

I think off the top of my head the intro vids to replace are:

:: [install dir]/Languages/Movies/English/CryTek.bik
:: [install dir]/Languages/Movies/English/Ubi.bik
:: [install dir]/Languages/Movies/English/sandbox.bik

Basically, you open notepad and goto FILE > SAVE AS and save it as [filename].bik, it will be 0 bytes in size, you then replace the above named vids the the 0 byte ones and hopefully that'll do the trick.

Think I know why FC dont work for me LOL. Must patch it to 1.4

This map loader patches between 1.4 and 1.33

http://www.filefront.com/14011439/FCMLv3.zip

Its by clivey as well

V5 now available and includes the 1.6 beta patch thats in progress. Just unzip it into your FC/Mods folder so its FC/Mods/FCLoader and run the exe in there

[*] Fixed a few bugs
[*] Recompiled as x86 CPU, so is compatible with 32 and 64 bit OS.


So no one should get anymore errors. Your FC must be patched to 1.4 before running this.

Ok, I tried a couple of things but nothing f$%&*g happens!!!!! All i get is the guy and girl startup screen, and then black!!! nothing!

Patch 1.1 works, but rest after that is all [sh*t]! How can i use a loader for convenience , if the f*ckin patches wont even install?

I am running on Windows 7 Ultimate x86 edition with and AMD Phenom 9650 and 8 gb memory ( took 4 out now, on x86 it only reads 4 anyway )

I did 3 fresh installs wich i ran under compatibillity mode "XP SP3"
I did the same for all the patches, rightclick on properties and stuff, same story, but nothing!
I thought for a second it might be my crossfireX setting, so i switched it off to one card, nothing!
I set the game to 1 core, cuz i read somewhere that that might help, again nothing!

I am on the verge of throwing this [sh*t] game out the winda!!

having issues with the 1.6 beta8.i install the 2 folders in the mod folder but on kicking fc up i have no pointers to a 1.6 mode
just 1.1 1.33 1.4 but it does show the two folders in the fcmlv5 panel

even when using fcmlv5 just the above 3 versions .do i empty the bin 32 file and fcdata file in to the mod folder

note i still have version fcloaderv4 installed as well and that says patch not detected yet

do i rid my system of the v4 fcloader and just use the fcmlv5 and add the 1.6 beta 8 in mods (i tried this an again no 1.6 patche showing)

there is an update on the website somewhere for the 1.6 beta, unfortuently its all in german. does anyone have contact with clivey to update us in english about the progress?

there are a few playing FC1 again and to have resources here would be good since a lot of old farcry players come to this forum.

I found the solution for it by the way. When the video adjustment screen pops up in the beginning, I had to set "lighting" to medium or low. after that, it worked fine.

godz from what i can gather the 1.6 is for the garcry and excalitron but i cant get it to work properly . on using the old fcloader it comes up with the 1.6 loaded in fcam but no ui options on screen . the new loader it has jack [sh*t] and just loads the old 1.5 patch version of fcam garcry ?
for the new fcloader v5 i downloaded all the fcom [sh*t] and installed it

i realy am at a loss as to why it dosent work plus i also had to put a mod folder in fcloader folder to get it to come up with the no ui one

is it a closed beta 1.6 ? as crymod says its ongoing
