Far Cry 2 freezes at loading screens

[mtt_asch]

Ok, thats nice to know, i will try that eventually after i get my sound card running. Until then WTF.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After calling the tech support guys 2 times, i was able to find my problem was my audigy card. I restarted comp, went into bios, switched to onboard sound, thus resulting in absolutely no sound whatsoever. I looked for a driver for my onboard card only to relize that my internet was out (no idea how this happened and still no idead). Upon restarting and going into bios to check and make sure i didnt do anything to the lan settings, I try to go back in Which windows was not comming up at all, so i just put my settings to default, and went back to regular window and regular sound card. I uninstalled the game and going to wait for another patch. I really hope they fix the audigy bug...

Farcry 2 for me showed the startup screen, then opened windowed then shut down. For 2 days i was going mental, no answers anywhere. Well the ubisoft guy email back said said to delete a file called "Gamer Profile" located in My documents>My Games>farcry2 - I deleted it and it now works, Im guna post this answer everywhere I looked so that the next person who gets as royally angry as i did knows how to fix it (hopefully it works for everyone!), Im guna enjoy the game now lol

I didnt see these posts way back, but if your still around and have problems still, your sound card driver was WDM which is microsofts driver and not driver from creative.

I still have the WDM right next to the device and i got the drivers from creative. So if you have a better idea, please share.

i had the problem with the loading screen freezing and all


i fixed it by turning off the music in the game,
and in the network options i turned off 'scan free ports' and 'detect public address'
i have no idea what they do but it seemed to work.

maybe give that a shot.
