Farcry on vista64 issue!

MadMacs · 18 Apr 2007 at 19:43

I've just installed Farcry on vista64 and i'm having a few issue in the game. Everything seems to be working but when i'm in the game I keep seeing flashes of light almost like lighning. :mad:

I've got the patch v1.4 installed and i've got Forceware version 165.01 for my 8800gtx installed

I've tried lowering the settings but this makes no difference.

is this a driver issue?

Just woundering if anybody can help, cheers!

The thing is all the games i've played so far work great. Even older titles still work fine!

Does anybody have Farcry working on vista 64 with an 8800gtx?

Alternatively try the 158.18 set. Make sure you completely uninstall your old driver. It's really important with the new sets. Old files can get left behind and cause problems.

Uninstall the driver, use driver cleaner in safe mode, run a search for old nvidia files nv*.*
Delete nvidia stuff. Reboot and install the set.

Just tried that and it's still no better. It only seems to be an issue when i'm outside in the light! (In the game).

Also tried the 64-bit patch and still no better!

Can I go from dx10 to dx9?

I would seriously recommend installing the dx version on the farcry disc. If that solves your probs then you can work out a better solution from there.

I've just tried this only to get an error message!

Restart and try again, manually executing the dx installer from the disc if possible. If not try it the way you just have.

This is proving to be a pain in the arse.

Pain in the arse for sure. Just tried install dX of the disk, and it's told me that this version isn't needed since the version I have is newer
