Issues fixed
Bouncing NPC glitch
Audio Glitch
Certain audio devices (namely older Realtek integrated audio chips) aren't compatible with the audio in the game and will reverse all channels or make the back channel primary and the front channel near inaudible. This can be fixed by uninstalling the Realtek drivers, and continuing to use the chip with out drivers (however this only works in around 50% of cases). Purchasing a new sound card (Creative's EAX card confirmed to work) or a new motherboard with newer Realtek chip will fix this.
Disable Motion Blur and Depth of Field (these cause in-game blur)
Once this is done, there should be no more motion blur. NOTE: This does not change the blur/dark effect caused by over-sprinting to the point where the player is forced back to walk!
Of course, these values can be edited if you prefer (for example, if you want depth of field, set GameDepthOfField="0" to GameDepthOfField="1"
Forced Windowed Mode
The Nvidia 301.24 BETA drivers can cause Far Cry 2 to load in windowed mode, minimizing the game can also cause the same effect. This is easily resolved.
- Alternatively you can simply press ALT + ENTER to go back into full-screen mode.
Issues unresolved
Service Pack Notification
Each time you launch the game and arrive at the splash screen you may find the following warning pop-up: Service Pack 1 is strongly recommended. Please update your OS.
This message is harmless and you can click OK to continue loading the game.
Stuck/can't exit turret
This happens if you rebind your "interact" key to anything other than the "default" "e". In order to exit the turret if key is rebound, you must use the default "e" key!
Jackal Tapes glitch
- As of patch 1.03 any tape found in the Southern district will play as the ninth tape.[3]
