Fine here (all settings maxed out on an XP-M barton @ 2.4GHz / 9800 Pro @ XT speeds / 1GB PC 3200 / Asus A7N8X-DLX V2.0 / Windows 2K SP4, DX 9.0B, latest CATs and nForce drivers)

It seems to me that the people who installed it over 1.1 are having the difficulties, the few who installed it from fresh seem to be very happy...

Not to be awkward but I did install it over 1.1... Maybe it was only play tested (before release) with decent spec hardware and latest drivers instead of everything out there?

[Applecrusher]

I found a few things that say save games from 1.1 arnt playable in 1.2... and that some people have graphical problems :/

Cheers for the headsup buff. Im in two minds wether to install it over the 1.1 patch... surely there shouldt be a problem- i would have though everyone would be using the 1.1 patch.

I'l risk it and report back

I've gone back to the 1.1 patch. Tried the new one last night and ended getting a severe drop in framerates on my Rad 9600 Pro. I was getting major lag on my crosshair and the game was sticking when there was big explosions. Previously though I had it all set to high and it looked great and was running smooth as silk.

Wouldnt care, on the readme for the file it said they have sorted rendering issues with the Rad 9600 series cards. Really looks like it.

ive got a 9600pro so ill leave it till the revised edition is released.

what a cock-up.

Ubisoft has taken the decision to withdraw this patch due to issues experienced by a number of users. An official statement follows:
"Far Cry patch 1.2 has shown unexpected behaviour on specific hardware configurations. These matters are mainly due to incompatibilities with several optimisations brought lately to the code, with the intent to please a large number of users.
We're currently asking CRYTEK to work on delivering a new patch as soon as possible. Until then we have decided to remove the patch 1.2 from the official UbiSoft websites."

When I installed 1.1 I couldn't play over LAN so i'm still at the original.

There patches don't seem all to great to me.

Well i installed the 1.2 patch and its made the lack of memory jumpy jumpy lag problem even worse, how lovely.

they have probably made optimisations for the ten people with x800 and 6800 cards

Anyway of removing the 1.2 patch without reinstaling?

You could try re-installing the 1.1 patch though it might refuse to install or go fubar.

[steve threlfall]

That worked like a charm malfunction. Cheers mate. Framerate increased by an average of 12. Some performance issue

its been taken down
