I fired this game up today, and I forgot how tough it was. I'm playing it on my Dell Latitude 6540 laptop. All the settings are maxed out. If you make a simple mistake, you're dead. Does not matter how much health and armor you have. Makes it realistic. Anyway, I'm dying a lot, but a fun game from the past. I also remember how fun multi player was. My son and I used to have a blast playing this using some network cards.

I still love this game all these years later. The AI was great then and is sill good now (though, I became really good at predicting the baddies after a while).

I'm still trying to finish it. I'm at the last map - Volcano. Twice I died trying to jump from the rock to the hill so I could go up to the radar tower. Every time I fall in the lava. You can't even save the game at that point so I have to start all over.

FarCry was a fun game for self-imposed challenges. I remember completing the first area by trying to get a vehicle to the end of the area.

Well, now I'm gonna have to reload this.

Now I'm at the very end -


Forgot how hard this game was when you get close to the end.

I also found a x64 bit version patch. More info at this site:

Once I finish what I'm currently playing, I'm going to try these patches for the x64 bit version of the game.

I went ahead and installed the x64 version patch along with t he enhanced content patch. Works great as the visuals are so much vibrant. The resolution I'm running is 1920x1080x32 on my NVIDIA Geforce GTX1660 TI. I have an older monitor Samsung that I bought about 8-10 years ago and I haven't upgraded it yet to something better. If I upgraded the monitor, can it run in 1920x1080x64?

Thanks for the heads up on the x64 patch!

Does this run under Win10?

Yeah I'm running it under Win10 with no issues on my laptop and desktop.
