Maybe they turn on that Auto Adjust AI. Im not sure but i think that adapts to your play type, so if you arent very good, then it gets worse.

heheheh....
If you think the AI is crap just go play project IGI.
Then come bk and tell me what crap AI is like.
Anyway, I updated my drivers and now I can't play farcry....
Bloody thing.
My card is a 9800 pro with the newest gfx. Is there something I need to know to get it running?

I keep putting the damned thing on the hardest settings with the Auto Adjust turned on... but I can still sweep through the demos in a few minutes and only get hit once or twice at most. It just has retarded AI when it comes to combat... and a lot of other things, TBH.
If you can't beat the Far Cry AI you need practice. Learn to play with a combination of planning and action. Plans never go exactly the way you plan so either plan in short bursts (plan it so that you'll end up behind cover with enough time to plan your next attack... it's a kind of repeated hit & run tactic) or think on your feet (generate a plan on the fly while you are executing the plan... that's the most exciting way to play... but it is harder to do). If you master that skill you can apply it to just about any game.
For additional reading try the Action Hero's Handbook.

Hmmmm, I am getting a few weird errors, mostly sound and animation in the tunnels section...
But its still fun.
Oh and the AI is very good but yes. Far too easy in parts.

It's not that the AI is necessarily too easy. It's just that the second demo was freaking short. Basically it was start, walk a little bit, kill some guys, go into tunnel, kill some guys, go up elevator, done. Hopefully this third one will be longer, because I LOVED the first demo.
I only had one gripe with the AI. Almost everytime I played, there would be a couple guys that just ran back and forth until I killed them with the sniper rifle. Maybe that is a counter-sniper tactic that they use but it's not very effective in my book!

The demos always take me forever to complete....mainly because I enjoy shooting the ragdolls into odd positions after they are dead.

first demo took me over 2 hours. Sure, I COULD have finished it quickly, in the third run though I had it done in a matter of minutes. But I played it like I would in RL, it had a good immersion level to it.
I LOVE to snipe. I'm the silent guy you never see....so it took 2 hours. and I STILL died once.
second demo took 40 minutes.

I never completed it in the first run through because I walked around the entire island (to see if there was an alternate route) and almost made it back before that damned attack helicopter found me (and killed me). Then on the second try I went straight up the middle and killed everyone along the way... in whatever amount of time it takes to walk/run that far (I'm not sure how long it took, but I remember that I didn't stop until I got to the door).
The worst non-AI glitch I had was when I got the boat stuck under/in the dock (mostly under it, partially sticking through it) closest to the island. In addition to that half of my torso just stuck through the top of the dock (instead of colliding with my body and hurting/killing me)... and when I got out of the boat I magically popped up onto the dock.
