Is Far Cry 2 any good? Is it comparable to Crysis?

Thanks...

Thankee, going to try this now :)

Excellent news Paddy and cheers Racer_S!
I donated some to DF to help him on the way to this but he was beaten to it, well all goes to a good cause :) and I'll add the same to Racer's as well.

Far Cry 2 PC game.....$99
Matrox TH2Go Dig Ed....$749
3x24" Dells........$1500
A rig to run 'em....$lots

Guys that put the effort in to help the community get a decent product....PRICELESS

Works and a definite improvement, but I am still finding the view a little off. I can't alt-tab to the trainer without FC2 crashing so it's difficult to play with the numbers, so any other recommended x/y values for 48:10 or is it already as good as it's going to get?

Post by **Paddy the Wak** » 24 Oct 2008, 21:55

No need to Alt-Tab out of the game ... instructions for altering the settings are on the front of the tool and you can do it in game.

Those settings were a pretty damned close match to the 5:4 ... took me ages to get to them ... lol

Great Work Racer_S...Thanks a ton

Has anyone found the perfect settings for triple 5:4's (3840x1024)?

Thanks

I don't know if these are the mathematically perfect settings, but I'm perfectly happy with the X FOV setting at 2.94.

Great 'Britishism'! Or are you from across the pond and the phrase is common over there as well?

I'm British, you muppet!

No, I've heard and used it before and I was raised in upstate New York.

Pip-pip and all that, England signing in :lol:

Great fix, works a treat...

sadly I feel it may also have demonstrated why the devs chose not to release with widescreen support - when I use the fov hack to correct the disply, I get flickering shadows, particularly obvious on the hill sides, but visible in other places...

assuming not everyone is having this problem, so for the record, my rig:

q9550 @3.4
4GB OCZ DDR2 800
4870x2

vista ultimate 64
latest catalyst hotfix

running at 1920x1200

edit - natch running everything on highest available settings, 4x AA...

Excellent work! Donation made.

Working perfectly for me in 3840x1024. A credit to Ubi that I'm getting good frames at this resolution even with AA enabled and fire raging.

I was enjoying this game on one screen.... It is sooooooo much better in triple head.

Thanks RacerS!

Thanks again Racer_S, it is getting where I won't even install a game until I see one of your fixes is available!
