 Thread : Vista 64 can't run FarCry? Please Help!!

Hi,  
 
I decided to install my old copy of farcry to see that it doesn't install. I went on the web and read on several forums that a 64bit patch is needed. Later I read that this patch is only for xp64. Is there any patch for vista 64 and if so where can I find it?
 
Thanks  
 
Ryan

The 64bit patch will work on Vista too.  I just started up the game with the 64 bit executable to make sure.  However, I installed the game in xp (as well as the patch which also works as a no cd crack), and just surfed for the game executable.

That's interesting. I ran Crysis on Vista 64bit without any patching. Just installed it and it ran like clockwork. Maybe newer retail sets have the patch included? :p

Opps, sorry, I'm such an airhead. You were talking about the older Far Cry, not Crysis. :na:

 

Still, it should run fine. :p

Look through the folder, is there a "setup64.exe?"

Install 32 bit version of Far Cry!  Then install the patch.  Then run 64 bit exectuable.  Far Cry was not originally 64 bit :)
