FarCry slowdown!!!

funny... sounds almost like a memory leak.... im assuming a reboot solves the problem? do u have any sort of an app running in the background? and isnt farcry at version 1.2 now?

Well, if I close Multiplayer and go into Campaign then back to Multiplayer without closing FarCry all together, it still does it. If I close FarCry all together, and restart it, then all is good. What do you mean by a memory leak?

memory leak is where a program requests memory so it can perform a function. The memory assigned is flagged as non usable by other programs (to prevent two programs attempting to grab it. Once the requesting program finishes what its doing it removes the flag from the memory therefore making it available for other programs to use. Now if the program in question tho doesnt remove the flag then that memory is leaked as no other program can use it. Now say if the initial programs runs and stops many times and each time leaks a bit of memory after a period of time u will see for example the game/application slow down as the pc loses more and more of its memory resources as a result stopping the program all together and restarting it will solve the problem.... i dunno tho i havent seen any memory leak probs about farcry but u saying that a restart will solve the problem sounds exactly like a memory leak..

The problem has been solved. Updated to Patch 1.3, and all is good. Played for an hour, and was getting 75+ FPS. Its so nice now, so smooth. Guess that did the trick. Oh BTW, I even tried reformatting when I set up my RAID 0 configuration, and that did not work. So it was definetly a glitch in the program.
