FarCry SP Demo #2 Released - Research Level

[Jumpem]

I p[lay it at 1600 x 1200 on a P4 2.4 with a 9800 Pro.

Played this last night.
P4 2.8C, 2x256 Geil Ultra PC3200 Dual Channel, Sapphire 9600XT

Plays excellent at 1024x768. I believe I had it set at Medium with more cranked up in certain areas. After reading on several sites how the demo sucked and how it lagged so bad, I don't get what they were talking about. Game ran very nice and the graphics are intense. Should be a pretty cool game.

I've only got a Ti-200, the regular level was (somewhat) playable. The graphics were really good on whatever defaults settings I had it set for. This should be awesome for 9800 and 5900 card owners.

I don't know what you downloaded but the zip I downloaded was not an exe just files that need to be copied to the Farcry directory.

By the way I just ripped through the new mission and it kicks arse! LOTS more eye candy!

Thank you for the mirrors link. What is the console command to see your fps?
Edit: thanks again. See that their site has a whole list of commands. So far getting about 50 fps on VH settings.

Third Far Cry Demo Planned [March 09, 2004, 2:10 pm EST] - 6 Comments
If the original Far Cry demo (story), the Research level for the demo (story), or the separate full Research level demo (story) haven't yet provided enough samples of Crytek's now-gold (story below) shooter, IGN's story on the game's gold status (thanks Frans) has word that there's still more single-player demo action on the horizon: "A second new demo, 'Boat,' will be released March 15."

Far Cry Gold [March 09, 2004, 1:55 pm EST] - 7 Comments
The Far Cry Website (thanks Quboid) has short-but-sweet word that Crytek's upcoming first-person shooter is now gold: "Ubisoft and Crytek are proud to announce that Far Cry? has gone gold! The game is scheduled to release in the UK on March 26th."

Excellent, another demo. The week of the 15th-19th is going to be a good one for pc gaming.
