I've just reinstalled farcry, patched to 1.4 official, and would like to know if it is possible for me to use the 64 bit content, I'm on vista x64 with an intel, but the patch says it's for amd, so I'm unsure wether this will all work, if it will, wich patches do i need to grab, there are 2 on filefront.

1.4 wont work with X64


Just install retail Farcry. Patch with farcry_amd64upgrade_us_uk_fp

Then install farcry_amd64_ecu both available from AMD

Then start the exe from Bin 64

Just noticed, lol my mouse is dead ingame, in the menu it works fine but ingame my mouse wont work lmao.

Ok let me try all that :p .

Will the amd64 expentions of the game work with em64T though?
Oh and do i have to reinstall farcry again, or can I try these 64 bit patches on the 1.4 ?

if you still have problems with the installer saying its for AMD only - create 2 directories on your hard drive called something like FC1 and FC2 then run each installer with the "/a" parameter , this will make the installer extract the files to a directory you specify so point it to the directories you made earlier.

You might then have to just copy the extracted content over your far car install , sorry can't be more specific but don't have a x64cpu/os but this is how you get the extra installed on a 32 bit set up

I don't really 'need' the exclusive content, I just want to make it work for now as my mouse is dead ingame in vista x64, anyhow I'm downloading both the exclusive content 400 ish mb patch and the normall 64 bit also 400 ish mb patch.

there isn't anything that doesn't "work" on a 64 bit cpu and os - they will run the 32 bit game just fine just the 64bit version of the executable is better tuned for your 64 bit combo to give better performance and quality (according to the PR machne anyway).

The extra content is basically better textures and greater draw diatances and other stuff like that which supposedly was too much for a 32bit system to run smoothly at the time although its a bit different now as even 32 bit machines and os etc have enough oomph to use the extra content .

Huh, just played till the carrier, and I've just seen wild boars and blood I've never seem before, was this added in the 1.4 patch ?
Enjoying the good game anyhow :) .

My thread on farcry 64bit with vista 64bit here http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17746623

I never could get this working right myself :(

Hmm so best for me is to avoid the 64 bit patch?


Anyone else here had problems or something or have experience with it on vista x64?
