FarCry demo released

[Helevitia]

I have a 9700Pro and I don't see that problem. I see other problems though(crash back to desktop, sound glitches).

Also get it.

Me to, also have a 9700Pro.

Has anyone tried this demo with an AIW 9800 Pro?

I can access and change the options and controls but when I try to start the game the "loading bar" gets to about 99% and then my system goes into a full reboot. I messed around with it for about an hour but after the 6th system reboot I figured it wasn't worth it.

How much ram and what CPU ?
It took my brother 15 minutes to load it on a 1700+ TBred, 512 ram and a Geforce 3 Ti200.

Yes....using Catalyst 4.1 with no visual problems....
sound sometimes cuts out once in a while...

Ram (1.0Gb) and cpu (3.0GHz P4) are not the problem.

However...

Probably is the problem. I don't remember which drivers I'm using, but I know they are older than 4.1's. I've been a bit lazy and was not compelled to update the drivers in a while since I hadn't been having any issues with my current ones.... until maybe now.
Thanks for the tip.

[Beezer]

Well, I did indeed update to the latest drivers. The demo works ok now.

Good to hear

.....there isn't much that the AIW 9800 Pro can't do ..

It was ok, I just hate the way it saves.

Crytek's aAnswer to the police raid

http://www.crytek.com/news/story.php?id=6&p=0&n=pr&t=1

Today at 9.00 am, there was a raid at Crytek's offices in Coburg, Germany. Due to an alleged claim of a disgruntled ex-intern, Crytek´s office complex was investigated for using more copies of a software brand with the incorrect number of licenses purchased.

The management of Crytek is grateful for the diligence of the German Police Department concerning protected software and fully cooperated in every way. As a software devloper, Crytek is always interested in properly obtaining and utilizing third party software. Development of the eagerly awaited Far Cry was only delayed for three hours while police cleared the matter with Crytek and it's management staff.

Despite false allegations that have appeared in various media and forums, no inventory or personel were affected in any way. Crytek would like to assure its fans that completion of Far Cry remains on track.

wth? even after clean format and different drivers I get this.

As far as I know, all the 'problems' people see with the demo is because the demo was rushed.

If you can use the search option on the Far Cry forums you can find the message by Ubisoft.

The slow down here and there (the entrance to the interior at the end of the level, for instance) is a normal bug.

It plays great on my Radeon 9600 Pro with the latest catalysts. You seen all the idle movements the enemies make while waiting (for you)? You seen what they do when you shoot one of them?

The AI in this game is almost perfect. I'll be waiting in line at the IRC channel for this game. With my 4Mbit line it should be in in.... oh... sorry...

I will be waiting in line at the games shop. Yeah right.

Another Far Cry single-player demo was released today.
