Far Cry Fix

[thedrtim]

wow. guys! firstly, thanks very much for all the suggestions. i thought perhaps i would get 1 or 2 VIEWS but didn't dream i get this many replies!! thanks very much

okay, to begin, i've inst patc 1.32. i've tried fixes for this and any / all subsequent versions of the game. the latest fix i have i grabbed from GCW. i extracted it to the ubisoft-crytek-farcry folder. still no joy. returns the following error:

CrySystem.dll Loading Failed:
the specified module could not be found

i have visited MegaGames again and revisited all of the mirrors. they all consistently return thefollow screen:
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 66.199.232.172. (change IP for mirror. you get the idea).

someone mentioned that megagames has problems with dload managers. i dont use one for firefox and have tried turning azureus off in case it messes with things but again, no joy on the downlaod.

i have installed and run the FFF crack-tro and FFF fcd-rue. they dont seem to do anything and truth be told, i have no idea what they're s'posed to do.

i tried reinstalling the game and working from the beginning. again no joy.

i know that the problem with the dvd is a hardware one. its copy-pro won't work on my dvd writer. other forums have confirmed this for me. i have updated the firmware for the dvd but again, no joy.

the thing that gets me is that i paid for this game. sure it was discounted but the principle remains the same. i am running all over tyring to get this thing to work when in reality, the stupid software company should make sure that their games are fully tested and hardware incompatibility problems addressed. i've spoken to ubi and they've done SFA about fixing the hardware issues the game encounters. they're not interested i've been told.

any more suggestions?

oh and thanks again.
