The recently promised (story) version 1.3 patch is now available
for Far Cry, offering a long-awaited update for Crytek's first-person shooter
that includes some of the features from the abortive version 1.2 patch
(story). Accompanying the client patch is a new dedicated Linux
server, the 74 MB client can be found on
3D Gamers,
ActionTrip,
FileFront, FileShack
(registration required), and
Worthplaying. The 6 MB Linux server is available on
3D Gamers,
ActionTrip,
FileFront, FileShack
(registration required), and
Worthplaying.
but it's interesting it never seems to happen with NVidia cards.
It never happens FOR YOU. There is a big difference. As much as you like to think so, the world doesn't begin, nor end, with your experiences.
Throughout the year and a half that I owned a Geforce 2 GTS, I had a fucking TON of driver issues with it. It basically took about ten releases for me to find a driver that would run stable, and then I had to stay on that driver for nine months before another stable driver (for me) came out.
It's all purely dependant on what hardware and what brand of card you have. I had an Asus motherboard with an Asus Geforce 2 GTS, and the fucking card would not run the reference drivers without crashing every ten seconds.
And then, ofcourse, out came Sacrifice, which would ONLY run with one single driver, that being a reference driver. Nice going there.
Both companies are fucking cunts when it comes to the stability of their drivers. It's all about getting 2% extra fps in Unreal Fucking Tournament 2008, or even worse, some fucking benchmark that nobody gives a shit about, and at the same time compatibility with a dozen games that are six months old goes down the fucking crapper.
Crytek is just a bunch of sorry ass programmers, and I say this despite the fact that I love their game. Asking people to roll back to 4.3 is just fucking ridiculous, as is the fact that it took them nearly a year to implement a savegame system. This isn't ATI's fault.
Now, KOTOR, on the other hand...
Btw, what expansion pack? Did that get announced?
