Farcry 64bit

[Down1oader]

I'm pondering installing farcry on vista 64bit ultimate. Will the 64bit version of farcry work on vista, will it also work on a core 2 duo and if yes/yes then what patches do i need because there seems to be two 64bit updates :S

no one ?

 

[Lyon85]

yes/yes

Why did you think it wouldn't work on a C2D?

Anyway, no idea about the patch, never done it myself. The newest one?

well it has amd plastered all over the 64bit patch so i was unsure, theres two 64bit patchs one says content and one says us/uk. are they the same or? and do i have to patch to 1.4 before applying the 64bit patch...

Patch it to 1.4 first then add the 64 bit patch, thought there was only one 64bit patch, but its a whopper download.

there were 2 files when i downloaded it - farcry_amd64_ecu.exe and farcry_amd64upgrade_us_uk.exe - both over 400Mb each.

Not quite sure what they are now as its over 2 years since i downloaded them but one is enhanced content and textures, the other is the 64bit executable and some other stuff.

Guessing you would run this one first, farcry_amd64upgrade_us_uk.exe

Yep

The farcry_amd64upgrade_us_uk.exe is the update to the engine to make it 64-bit

The farcry_amd64_ecu.exe is the enhanced content which you apply after you've updated it to 64-bit

Yep

The farcry_amd64upgrade_us_uk.exe is the update to the engine to make it 64-bit

The farcry_amd64_ecu.exe is the enhanced content which you apply after you've updated it to 64-bit

& note both will work on Intel even though it says amd

The game looks very nice with both patches & plays a treat too

Awesome game.
