I just started playing Far Cry again and found a way to get around the auto-save crap that annoyed me to bits the last time round and I thought I'd share:

Change the properties of the shortcut you use to start the game and add "-Devmode" to the end, like this:

"C:\Program Files\UBISOFT\Crytek\Far Cry\Bin32\FarCry.exe" -Devmode

Then edit the Devmode.lua file in the main game directory and add these lines:

Input:BindCommandToKey("#Game:Save('Quicksave')","f9",1);
Input:BindCommandToKey("#Game:Load('Quicksave')","f10",1);

This will give you F9 - quicksave, F10 - quickload.

I've had problems with the HUD disappearing after quickloads though so you might want to go to the menu and load instead which seems to stop the problem occuring.

edit: the above problem is caused when I quickload during the short death sequence with the blurred vision, etc. Loading from the menu solves it.

I had problems with the bastards shooting at me and making my health decrease.

I had problems with 'unexpected' mutants jumping at me from the shadows to gnaw my face off. I found a resolution in the following file:

C:\Program Files\UBISOFT\Crytek\Far Cry\Pants\New

"shit your thong" doesn't sound quite the same though. Plus it would act like a brown bacon slicer

I only got to the other end of the island, then got bored.

This seems to eb a reoccuring theme with single player gaming recently as I have only got to Ravenholm in HL2, and haven't bothered to pick it up and play again

Far Cry the game is that fecking island. At least HL2 has a bit of variation in the enviroments. I suspect Ravenholm was just too scary for you.

Of course not, I am not shit scared beyond belief by those zombie monkey bastards from satans arse*

*may be a lie

but the island is very purrdy, the most jungle-like jungle I've ever seen in cyborspace

Indeed

Booyakasha junglist posse!

Junglist! Or something! Yeah!


back to farcry: i thought it was a bit poo. Mildy attractive poo, but poo none the less. I really failed to see what the fuss was about.

Shooting a can into the sea, and swimming with the fishes.

I think it's got good and bad points, mostly it just looks nice. The mutant things are unimaginative from what I can see so far but the AI is pretty good I think and I'm liking this shotgun type weapon I've just picked up, BOOOM!

I played it for a bit but with my poor FPS decided to postpone it till it looks pretty, plus super jerky in battles makes it harder.

I enjoyed the game quite a bit though from what I did play.

I'm stuck, going into the labs from the cave, were you see those dodgy creatures run into the vent, it won't let me through the door, any ideas?

gamefaqs?

I dont remember, maybe patching will help ...
