Excellent!! I might try reinstalling it, and see if I get all my sound when
I play.

Unfort. a major FPS decrease.

66.81, 1024x768/VH/UH only arround 20 to 35 FPS.

What did I do wrong ? ;-)

1.3 Works flawlessly so far on my 2K/6800/3000+ box.

I tried _hdr, and I wasn't very impressed, no more so than say, "Improved"
under shader selections, or "Paradise".

FPS did drop, but 10x7 was still playable and fun with _hdr=7.

What is "_hdr=7"?

Hard to tell because we don't know what video card you are using.

HDR, in Far Cry is, "High Dynamic Range" a special rendering method using
vivd coloring and lighting techniques.

Check out the entry in TweakGuides, and the myriad other complex entries to
personalize FC.

Shaders are proving themselves to be valuable resources....

"I am eternally grateful for your answer, which not only completely
solved my problem with the FPS drop but will also magically turn the
rest of my life into bliss. So please give me your address so that I
can send you a $500 check, no, make that a blank check -- your advice
was that good. "

And its borked on my PC. Can't lift the gun in the air, which was a little
frustrating with a bunch of mercenaries bearing down on me.

I think I am going to uninstall and go back to 1.2.
