Issues fixed

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.

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.

Instructions
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.

System requirements

Multiple saves and user created maps will increase the amount of needed hard disk space.
