FarCry help needed

Paul -C- · 8 Jun 2006 at 10:13

Hi

I've installed the latest patch and the 64bit textures for Farcry. When I'm playing the system speaker keeps beeping constantly. I do have both my cpu and x1900xt slightly overclocked, but this also happens when running stock speeds. I've tried running the card really underclocked, with the graphics card fan blowing at 100%, but it still happens.

This is the only game this happens with.

Could this be a problem with the 64bit texture pack? I've also tried the 1.4 patch and also turning down all the graphics options, but the speaker is still going crazy.

As soon as I press escape the beeping stops. Even just moving the mouse around can stop it sometimes.

Anyone else had this? Or know of a solution?

Thanks!!

I just checked some temps whilst playing... My CPU never goes above 45 degrees and my graphics card is between 60 and 90 degrees.

I do have Asus Probe installed, but it's not actually running when I'm playing the game...

What if its that shift key thing making beeping noises.

I disabled that a few days ago.

I disabled the Asus Probe sound notification, but I'm still getting the beep.

It's really ruining the game

Could it maybe be a PSU problem?

I have a Tagan TG580-U15 580W PSU

Here's a graph of the 3.3V I took whilst playing Far Cry:

The other voltages looked pretty stable.

Could this be the source of the constant FarCry system speaker beeping?

I went for a shower and left the computer idle for 15 mins.

Here's what I've came back to:

I take it this isn't good?

Question:

Do you need Windows XP64 to run FarCry 64bit or will my 32bit Standard windows xp pro, run it?

You can do it on 32bit XP

I've ran Asus Probe alongside Speedfan and it looks like Speedfan is way off, as suggested above. The 3.3V value is pretty stable at 3.33V

Anyone got anything else I could try?

I found this thread, where the poster had exactly the same problems. Turns out a BIOS update fixed it for him.

Only problem is that I already have the latest BIOS for my Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe..

Just bumping this with my solution...

My Tagan 580W PSU was set to Split mode.

When I set it to Combined I could play Far Cry without any beeping
