I think it is a combination of the two figures ... I edited that last message ... adding ...

4.8...1.0
48:10
3x16:10


Dunno if it is significant ... must be ... :lol:

I don't *think* it is an FPS issue.... although at first I thought it might be.

In DX 10 with options cranked, I'm usually above 30 (50% of the time in the 40-50 range).... although sometimes I do dip into the high 20's (SLI seems to make little difference in frames for me when things are in the high-20's low 30's....).

I tried switching to DX 9.... which gave me about a 20% boost in FPS... but the visuals where noticably less vibrant to me.


Paddy... I'll try those settings. I've been running with the ones you had posted in the beginning of this thread: 3.85 & 1.253. My monitors are native 1600x1200.... so I'm not sure how that might affect things (I suck at math....).

Thanks!

Ah ... those settings will probably be wrong then ...

You could try this tool ... http://raven.is-a-geek.net/post/FwO_FarCry2_FOV_v2.zip ... by NightRaven which auto sets the height ... you just have to do the horizontal.

5040x1050 is not showing up as an option for me in Far Cry 2's Display configuration screen.... Any ideas?

Yep DX10 only does a max of 3840x1024. Select DX9. restart FC2 and select 5040......


..and if it is anything like mine it will CTD after a few seconds then it'll freeze in the loading screens until you have deleted the user XML file. Rinse and repeat and see the first few seconds of the intro jeep ride as often as you want...but nothing else :evil:

I have had 5040x1050 both shown and not shown in the options, only by changing options in FC2. I think putting it in dX9 mode and restarting the game made it show up for me.

Oh and I fixed the start error, replace the farcry.exe in the bin folder with the one you get here : http://farcry.uk.ubi.com/download/

rename it FarCry2.exe if you want your NV profiles to work properly as well.

is the performance better than crysis to get playable fps at th resolutions with an gtx 260?

(Crysis was bad even at 1680x1050 with that card)

Yes, but it's also uglier and boring :lol:

FYI: So far us SoftTH users have not got FarCry 2 working triplewide, just get the splash logo on the Windows desktop...then...nothing...not even a crash.

Ah well...one of very few games that only work TH2GO so far...

I wonder if GTA IV will work triplewide (none of the previous games have), we will see soon...(though its delayed a bit)...
