Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
Arg, still can't decide on PC or 360, how would an 8600m handle this? I wish there was a PC demo out.

Poutine is awesome. The best part is how disgusted Americans get when you post pictures of it.DeadCell said:So I've heard...
I think it's safe to say that we can all blame the French Canadians on this one.
Although, to their credit, they sure know how to make some killer poutine.
God bless fries, cheese curds, and gravy. <3

The 8600m is slower than the desktop 8600GT, so in that case, I'd probably suggest 360. It'll run fine on the PC, but might not run with equally beautiful, unless you've got a low resolution LCD.

Playing the 360 version and this game is gorgeous. Really really great. I'm really surprised how good it is. I was a bit hyped and went with a blind buy, but wow, it's really good so far.
Is anyone else playing on a computer monitor and getting small bars on the top and bottom of the screen?
My monitor is a 22" samsung that is 1280x1050 native ( I think they're adding that resolution with the fall update)

Sick game, just noticed something.
I restarted the game and my start point after the "cease fire" mission is different. I wonder if its randomized.
The dialogue changed too.. The first time he said "you're sick, so if you die too bad".. Second time he says "you're sick you don't have time to screw around"
Nice touch.

Yeah, that. I always get confused on the first number. I know it's not quite the right resolution for the 360, right? is that why there's the black bars?

Apparently Far Cry 2 HATES the 9800GX2 badly.
Note the Guru3D benchmarks use an E8400 Core 2 Duo @ 3.0GHz, so it might be limiting the 4870x2, but it's much more relevant to the average gamer without a 4.0GHz oc'd Quadcore.

What kind of DRM does it have? Disc based or draconian online verification shit? That's what'll decide 360 vs PC for me..

Yesssssssssss! Just got the game!
Call all the EBs around you, Canadians. I decided to call an EB in a mall semi-close to me not expecting much, and they had it. Just got home with it! I even got the pre-order bonuses!

The damn game won't even start properly on my PC.
It just switches to a blank window. Eventually, the main menu seems to start up (music is heard and mouse clicking activates "stuff"), but there is no image on the screen (not even in safe mode). I'm using the nVidia beta drivers here, but those were made FOR this game.
Any ideas?

Got the game installed. I was running the game went through the intro and had it crash on my system, I started the game in safemode to see what was causing the error, seems it was just a random hardware failure. I go to change the game settings like resolution and such but it won't let me change it even outside of safemode in the game.
Any idea if there's an INI that I could edit? also my game keeps starting up in windowed mode, I HATE THAT. Is there an option within the game to change this? I know there's one within the benchmark tool.
Thanks

those drivers are bugged in dx9, there's a few workarounds for it, think disabling aero is one of them
played the game for 4 hours (360): awesome, so good looking. i only did 2 missions, the other time is was just exploring (the oasis area in the lower right is so awesome!).
the only complaint: not enough animals in the world.
oh and ubisoft: please make a LOST first person game with that engine.

Hmmm, not my experience. I'm running a Pentium D @ 3 Ghz, 2 gigs RAM, and a 4850 and I had everything at very high with 4xAA, ran super smooth in DX9, tried DX10 with same settings and suddenly misplaced colors occured everywhere and whole chunks of screen would simply not appear at moments (total black); went back to DX9 and everything was ultra-smooth again. This game runs extremely well (although not nearly as impressive as Crysis); as for gameplay I've only just begun, but the opening sequence was pretty impressive. Shooting is not quite as fun as I'd anticipated it to be though.Ikuu said:

Fuck, if this happens to me tonight, I am seriously going to go on a tear. Seems you aren't the first person to have this happen to so I'm nervous.

I fixed the black screen issue, but I want to use triple buffering. The game hits 60 fps a lot, but when it drops, it drops all the way to 30 fps due to lack of triple buffering. D3D Overrider causes it to crash. I'd rather not play with v-sync disabled either.
