Yup, that's exactly what i did: created an ISO on my portable HDD, then just plugged it on to his PC via USB, transferred the ISO and mounted via Daemon tools. Somehow Far Cry recognizes that this is an emulation though, it tells me so. Although, i haven't yet applied a patch yet, just the Deviance crack.
I'll try the patch and keep you informed.
Thanks for the help
