One thing ive noticed is this game dosnt like it when your computer is over clocked .
Ive had to set everything back to stock clocks and it now works great .
Try running stock clocks on video and cpu and see if thats works for ya .

Yeah I can see his reasons for the respawning, and personally I havent had too much of a problem with it as I havent backtracked on myself and it would be pretty empty without it.
Its interesting what he was saying about the story as well, I hadnt really noticed much with the missions, but now he mentions it the buddy ones are a bit sadistic.

^ my GTs at stock, but i guess ill bump down the multiplier and have a look at the cpu
*edit - no luck there/
Try going into My Documents/My Games/Far Cry 2
and rename GamerProfile.xml to GamerProfile.bak
I had that problem and this fixed it, no idea why it fixes it though, if it happens again just do the same thing. The only minus is it resets your settings.

It grows on you, don't give up
yeah it grew on me then was getting bored again near the end.
I'm not so annoyed with the respawning, but what I dislike about the checkpoints is firstly that there's absolutely no "factioning" in the game, so you're going to get shot at regardless, and how their jeeps are super-powered when they drive them, so even if you power through full-speed in a buggy, which is definitely faster than a jeep when you're in them, they still catch you up.
Still weird.
Have you removed drivers etc fully, as in uninstalled, driver cleaner, restart safe mode, driver cleaner, restart (possibly more) install.
I normally dont use drivercleaner, and just install ontop. but its working now so...
Why does my game load perfectly sometimes, then other times it just hangs on the loading screen forever. Normally takes a minute or two to load, but sometimes its been on for more than 10 minutes and not even loaded :/ Music's still playing and everything, just seems to work when it wants to.
Can you use diamonds for anything but weapons?
Just been doing the weapon shop guy's series of "destroy the convoy" missions as they're quite easy and fun.
Considering polishing them off and then going on a diamond hunt, then buying every weapon so I can use them in the missions. (Obv. I won't find all the diamonds on the first map, but enough to buy a few good weapons!).

thats truly doing my head in, its just crappy poor quality game lengthening tactics.
Story is fairly poor, reputation system is ridiculous, from the guys posts to the criticism I think a rep system based on which faction you are helping and targetting one faction over another gets you specific weapons available to one faction only would be the way to go. Making reputation based on buddy missions, which are overly long and always ridiculous, is stupidity in itself as, buddys go, so how is your rep with one buddy causing higher rep with factions, and everyone else in the game, makes no sense at all, especially when you're fighting both factions.
Its reminding me of stalker except its even more repeaty and boring so far. The faction system in stalker was there, for the sake of being able to say they had a faction/rep/whatever you want to call it system like other games have, they don't advertise it means, and does nothing but thats not the point.
THe problem is, at no point in the game do I care about stopping the Jackal, you don't actually come across the "innocent" people you'd be helping by stopping the war, just two horrible factions of people I'm quite happy to leave to kill each other. How can the factions work in the same town, wtf, they have entire armys but a little chicken wire with a sign saying no guns makes them safe. Except in those times the town is under massive attack for no reason which results in no change.
Nothing in the game makes sense, there really isn't a story and frankly theres not a reason, start to-a long way in, to play the game in terms of story.
Fantastic(but buggy) engine, I mean it looks superb, gives a huge world and with a great story is easily good enough to be the basis of a fantastic game. But it fails on basically every other level so far. I think games like this end up seeming worse than they are due to the huge potential you can see behind it that was completely passed by.
The ones you buy don't really rust, as everytime you need a gun you just goto a gun warehouse and pick up another off the wall.
I dunno what the stats are for the golden AK either, and I dunno if you can improve upon them?
I've realised, I don't think they actually 'get into' they're vehicles and chase you either...I think they spawn at a distance behind you and just catch you up.
