Shadow bug with Far Cry

[JNightshade]

Okay...
When playing Far Cry with shadows set to anything over "medium", I get this weird glitch. Every once in a while (only in outdoor levels) something will have a shadow that's shades of green, yellow, and orange (rather than the expected black). I'm willing to bet it's a driver issue- I'm running Catalyst 5.2 right now. If anyone here has had this problem, and knows how to fix it- please tell me. Oh, and the card is the ATI Radeon X800 XT PE.

I don't know what it is, but it's not a driver issue. It's a game issue & that's as far as I know. But if you're absolutely sure it's a driver issue, then try the newly released Catalyst 5.3s :smoking:

hmm. I shall.

You'll probably have more luck there.

I tried...
as far as I can tell, their support is shit.

Have you gone into their forums and asked for help there yet? Just curious.

Is the game upto date, may have been sorted in one of the updates, I think they are on v1.3 now. Worth a try if you havent already updated it.

is 1.3 recent because I when installed farcry and I have a pny nvidia geforce 6800 gt and It didn't look good (water and other stuff) even with updated drivers and what I remember to be the most recent update for farcry. so if 1.3 is recent ima gonna try it.

update to v1.3 with the patch here:

http://patches.ubi.com/far_cry/far_cry_v1.3.exe

(74.1mb)

then update to v1.31 with the patch here:

http://patches.ubi.com/far_cry/far_cry_v1.31.exe

(8.85mb)

Here is a link to an ubisoft solution center where they list what was fixed by 1.2 and 1.3 patches. Might be worth a read to see if your gfx problem is known to them.

Yeh i'm going to start a year long placement at a company as part of my Computer science degree soon which means lots of money and I'm gonna buy a new one then. Was thinking about a x800 XT / x850 XT PE, but i will see what there is on offer nearer the time!
