AMD releases hotfix for the yet unreleased Far Cry 2
In a rather interesting and hasty move, AMD has decided to provide a hotfix driver for the Radeon X1×00, HD 2000, HD 3000 and HD 4000 series cards that will:
- Improve performance for the DirectX 9 version of Far Cry 2 on CrossFire compatible systems
- Improve performance for the DirectX 10 version of Far Cry 2 on both single and CrossFire compatible systems
Of course Ubisoft’s Dunia-powered Far Cry 2 will be officially released only next week – on the 21st in North America and the 24th in Europe, but AMD may be betting on an early leak.
The hotfix is available for download in both Windows XP (32/64bit) and Vista (32/64bit) flavors via the following links:
- Catalyst 8.10 hotfix (Windows XP 32/64bit)
- Catalyst 8.10 hotfix (Windows Vista 32/64it)
Far Cry 2 multiplayer is ‘by the numbers’
IGN had their reporters Alex Simmons and Martin Robinson sit down to have a go at multiplayer and while they do emphasize that Far Cry 2 MP has some nice distinguishing features their overall conclusion is unmistakable:
“Unfortunately the main shooting mechanics of Far Cry 2 don’t stand up to the opposition, it’s not as fast or precise, and that’s quite obvious in multiplayer. It’s not as solid a shooter as either Halo 3 or Call of Duty 4, and I’m not sure if it does enough different to oust either of those games from the top spot.”
“That’s what I was saying earlier – it does what it does well, but it’s nothing outstanding.”
There are feature that are much appreciated by IGN as well like the vehicles, reviving, self healing to name a few.
However at the end of the day according to IGN Far Cry 2 is mainly a singleplayer experience and with some spare time an hour or two on multiplayer should not be a waiste of time:
” Far Cry will always be a single-player game to me – that’s why I’m excited about playing through Far Cry 2, to explore the open world and have an experience that’ll be different from anyone else’s. And while I don’t think the multiplayer has to same edge as Call of Duty, I do think it’s an entertaining way to spend a few hours. I’ll definitely give it a go when the final game comes out.”
