Well I played the game for only couple of hours but the my comments regarding the game this far is, bladder full of hot air!
I mean besides looking pretty, it doesn't do anything else more spectacularly, I mean I haven't seen even a single live animal in the game,surrounding looks awesome but nothing more than that and the player's sprint speed, come on I can run faster than that considering the fact that I weigh over a ton.
Well I seriously hope this game turns me into a believer as it progresses.:p

lol...with a backpack of over 8 kilos can you run that fast ?
And yeah this game is barebone, lookout for more experiments with duniya engine.

Its meant to be played cool, in a real explorer spirit. Such games take time to build up the fascination, do some crazy things to spice it up. Beside there are chicks too as compared to stalker :p

I only have DX9 mode since I'm running on XP 32-bit. The frames are very stable with the settings I mentioned above. It hovers around 55-60Fps on most occasions. What setting are you playing on?

On Dx10 Overall Quality set to Ultra high with no AA (1024x768)
I get 50 FPS

On Dx9 Overall Quality set to Ultra high with no AA (1024x768)
I get only 35 FPS

It is supposed to give more FPS in Dx9 mode:confused: but mine seems to be Vice-versa:evil:

Checked Dx9 mode both Vista64bit SP1 and also Xp SP3
Vista gives 35 FPS
XP gives 33 FPS

I am using AMD hotfix driver for farcry but haven't checked it without hotfix in dx9 mode but on dx10 mode I tried with hot fix and without by which performance increased by 8% with hotfix

Guys, I am on Windows XP SP3 DirectX 9 with 8600 GT GFX. I heard that we need DirectX 10 for FarCry 2. Is this true? DirectX 10 means to play this game, I will have to install Vista or is it still possible in XP.

Moreover, how can one check how many FPS are we getting?

:confused:

DX10 is a mode for the game which can be achieved on if you have Vista OS. The game is backward compatible with DX9 as well just like every other game. Infact I'm currently playing this on XP 32-bit OS. So no it's not mandatory to install Vista. ;)

@Panda: Dude a simple FRAPS screenshot of your display settings would have been much easier to look at rather than that whole game analysis you posted. :D

^^Whos Panda ?? :confused:

@go4saket

DX9 works too. I am playing on XP SP2 32Bit like allwyndlima.

PS :- Why not make this the official FC2 thread ?
