Far Cry® 2

I'd love to play it, but steam failed to cloud-save my 30 hour playthrough. Got a new PC, and I can't even get through the long opening sequence without crashing. It's an old game, there's going to be issues; but if you're charging money for it, it had better be at least moderately playable. It isn't.

Ubisoft sells this for 10 € but it's no more supported by modern PCs and they don't even patch it. Todo list to manage to use it on modern PC: – Alt+Enter to go full screen – Apply your video settings but you'll need to limit FPS to 60 and turn on V-sync (otherwise you'll have shaking/boucing NPCs) – To stop game crashing after 15-60 min of game, you'll need to apply the 4GB patch from NTCore (https://ntcore.com/4gb-patch/) on the FarCry2.exe (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Far Cry 2\bin\FarCry2.exe) Now you should be able to play it. Thanks community. Shame on you Ubisoft.

[h1][b]Вступ[/b][/h1] Експеримент, що хочеться повторити. [h3][b]🎮 Геймплей – 7/10[/b][/h3] Суворий шутер у пустому відкритому світі. Вбивати – цікаво, бо занурюєшся через кількість реалістичних механік. Проблема в швидкій прокачці – цікаво їздити навіть коридорними джунглями, коли в тебе є цікава мета; Але коли ти швидко збираєш та прокачуєш ідеальне для твого стилю спорядження, нічого крім нудного сюжету в грі немає – збирання алмазів та додаткові завдання втрачають сенс, якщо ти все потрібне купив. [h3][b]📖 Сюжет – 5/10[/b][/h3] Цинічний найманець непереконливо робить все, що скажуть дяді, які не хочуть закінчувати війну. Злодій – головний герой 1-ї гри; Він цікавий філософ, але його мало, а аудіо дуже важко знайти. Вдала ідея втручання у війну, але реалізація – ніяка; Вибору між фракціями – не існує; Робиш все одній банді, завдання закінчується, робиш все другій банді. Фінал – незвичний, але, знову ж таки, недороблений. [h3][b]🛋️ Атмосфера – 8/10[/b][/h3] Класна Африка з максимальним реалізмом для шутеру – навіть ворогів важко помітити в сірих декораціях. Приземленість всіх механік змушує вірити в світ, хоч він – це коридор для блокпостів. Гра змусить боятися звуків машин – вороги під час перестрілок можуть збити насмерть. [h3][b]👀 Вигляд – 8/10[/b][/h3] 2008–й, що досі вражає – особливо заходами сонця. Автентична картинка зачаровує кожну секунду: фізика вогню, випалені сонцем савани, густі джунглі, пилові бурі та брудні поселення. Анімації смерті ворогів – дерев’яні. [h3][b]🔊 Звук – 4/10[/b][/h3] Африканські етнічні мотиви, що не створюють жодного настрою – звучать нудно + їх ледве чути, бо немає окремих налаштувань гучності музики. І радіо немає. Будете слухати лише машину або постріли. Шкода композитора. [h1][b]Висновок[/b][/h1] Амбітна та унікальна гра, якій не вистачає бюджету та різноманітності. Купа цікавих ідей для сурової імерсивності відкритого світу губляться на тлі недопрацьованої подачі – особливо в сюжеті, що натякає на неіснуючий вибір. 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑 (72 / 100) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3733645472 🎬 Відео-відгук на 25 секунд: https://youtube.com/shorts/449eEuxFJEY

A great game with a ton of charm and nostalgia for me. Usually when I think of some of my favorite guns in games, my first thought usually goes to their renditions in this game. The jamming/malaria mechanics get a lot of overblown hate as jamming is pretty easily avoidable if you use owned weapons and malaria is practically a non-factor for 90% of the gameplay. That being said, [b]the PC version absolutely blows.[/b] It basically can't run on modern hardware by default, and while theoretically setting up the few mods to fix the game isn't very difficult, the game is still pretty unstable. I've spent probably an equal amount of time troubleshooting constant intermittent crashes to no avail as I have actually playing the damn game in my most recent revisit. Assuming Ubisoft took the effort to ensure that the game they're selling is actually stable and playable, this would 100% be a positive review as the game itself is awesome, but it's just not worth the hassle trying to get the game to run properly.

The game is good but it's almost unplayable on modern PCs. I had to install something called multifixer just to run the game and had to lock it to 60 fps so the NPCs wouldn't bounce around like they're using pogo sticks and it still crashes constantly. What's even worse is it often crashes while you're saving so the save file gets corrupted and if you only used one save slot throughout the whole game, you're doomed. I learned this the hard way and had to start all over again. I tried using the quick save feature but that seemed to crash my game even more. It may be an old game but you still gotta fix it if you're charging money for it. Especially if you're a big ass company like Ubisoft. Half-Life came out in 1998 and it still runs fine on modern hardware.

Literally unplayable. I'm at a part where I'm meant to go to a place called "Mike's bar", and the person I'm meant to meet to progress the story keeps repeating the same voice line because he's glitching and I can't continue with the rest of the story. I guess this is my fault for buying a Ubisoft game in 2026.

While the game is really immersive and a great experience, I simply can't recommend the Steam Version as it crashes almost every hour of play. I had to use the multi-fixer launcher aka bypassing Steam's launcher for it not to crash. So while the game is a great entry to Far Cry, you have to bypass the launcher on Steam or get the GOG version. Edit: This game won't even stop breaking with multi-fixer on. I'm over halfway through but honestly I'm done making it work on steam. Don't buy it here, get the GOG version or play on a console.
