Hello guys and gals,
I'm trying to install Far Cry 1 but It won't get through the installation process. I et a message that says run 32. or 64.
I'm really lousy with computers but I want to play this game. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx to all and happy holidays

Hi there......


have you tried running the game in ''compatibility mode'' for XP..??, FarCry 1 is quite old, but ive certainly had it running on vista.

I'm not sure how to do that. As soon as the installation starts, I got that error message. The game doesn't load at all.

right click on the FarCry launcher / properties / compatibility / & select XP

just keep at it mate, i know this game works b/c ive got it.

Hello samehm28,
Do you have the DX9 box checked when you are trying to install, if so, uncheck it.
I don't know why, but it causes silly problems to crop up.
Just as an experiment, i loaded my copy up to see if it would load OK, it did, apart from the DX thing.
Hope this help, good luck, and post your results.

Hi stoneys-nutz,
I couldn't locate the DX9 to see if it's checked or not. I googles the issue and tried everything, even the UBI patches won't install...grrrrr
I have a feeling the problem could be solved easily but I'm just not thinking straight.
A step by step explanation would be really appreciated.
My OS is Vista64 with AMD 4800.
Thanks guys and happy holidays to all

During the install process, you come to a page where it says, do you want to install DX9, do you want to install Adobe, the tick boxes chould be unchecked, you do not want to install any of this.

It didn't reach to this point. Once I insert the CD and click install, I get a message that reads " Run system32 on 32bit or System 64 on 64bit."

Like skunksmash, i too have it and it runs fine, try exploring the DVD/CD and launch the installer from there.
