Far Cry 64bit patch ?????
- Thread starter ReeceKB
- Start date
Apart from the draw distance, there are only two levels with significant extra content. Pier is one, i forget the other. 
Scanned your posts twice but still didnt notice if you are running Nvidia or ATI?
Nvidia was official supported in patch 1.33, the leaked version of 1.4 had ATI support, although i here some guys have it working on ATI with 1.33.
Assuming you are patched to 1.33:
To enable HDR.
1st turn off AA.
2nd Set graphics to High or Very high (Whichever displays SM3.0 you can see this if you type \r_displayinfo 1 in the console \r_displayinfo 0 to turn that display off)
3rd In the console type \r_hdr(then hit tab) it will auto complete "\r_hdrrendering" complete the command by adding a number from 1-11
eg \r_hdrrendering 6 (the number set a coarse control on the degree of brightness and rate of adjustment)
If you play online, things to remember with both the 64 bit and HDR:
Always set HDR back to 0 before going online, the majority of servers will kick you for having it set to any other value.
Always follow the instructions in the file you down loaded for removing two files before you play online, i think its objects2 and textures3, or again you will be kicked from servers. You can simply replace them once you are done playing.
If you have any other problems you can always find help on the Ubisoft Far Cry forum

I remember that it was Pier and another one of the later levels which had all those little islands in it. The beach textures were very noticable on this level and the 64bit content has new beach textures.CuZ said:Apart from the draw distance, there are only two levels with significant extra content.

Talking about FarCry makes me want to play it again
I still have to wait another month for my motherboard to be returned

I haven't bothered reading the whole topic.
But just so anyone knows, prolly been said already.
The patch is nothing to do with taking advantage of 64 bit processors, it works on any processor.
Its just some enhanced textures\draw distance.
Nothing to do with hardware, the only thing is it checks for an AMD64 processor, as AMD did a deal with the developers. There's a simple guide in various places (prolly in this thread) to extract the enhanced content, you just overwrite the stuff in the game directory with this content.

LOL... By then you never know, patch 1.4 might finally be out
Didnt see that lol...
Bear in mind that you cant just patch to 1.33, you need 1.3 and 1.31 first...
Console is the top left key on the main part of the board; next to the numeric 1.
Do be careful what you change tho.
While some console commands can get you kicked from MP servers, there are a couple that can get you banned
