HELP NEEDED Far Cry 2 installation Problem?

hi guys

i have just got far cry 2 and am keen to play it but when i have tried to install it 3x all it does after i hit the install button is a small command box flashes in the top left corner of the screen for about half a second then disappears then after that nothing happens



my computer is a 2008 model imac with the 24 inch monitor 2.8ghz core 2 duo 2gb ddr 800 mhz ram and 256 mb ati mobility radeon 2600xt under clocked (apple said its a 2600 pro - google it if you dont believe me) it also had the standard boot camp graphics drivers because when i tried to update them to the latest model i get graphical glitches in crysis e.g flashing objects

by the way yes it will run far cry 2 i checked @ www.canurunit.com

and i can also run both crysis's at 1024x768 all medium about 30-40 fps average

oh and by the way yes this is a downloaded one but i am just trying it first so that i can make my decision whether or not to buy it as i have heard its good and bad by different people (from fourms not people i know) so please dont complain about piracy

also all of the comments on the torrent got the game to work fine and i have only found one problem the same as mine on google and his was legit but there where no responses to his question

thanks all in advance if you can help me

HELP NEEDED Far Cry 2 installation Problem?
Funny thing, I just got back from Wal-fart and installed the game also... I got past putting in the serial code to register, I haven't gotten the game to fully load as of yet... I had a similar problem with crysis and I was looking for answers about that, and found that if one defrags their hard drive that the game works better, which it did after that...

I am currently defragging right now so I will respond as soon as I get a better clue as to what is going on...

Ok here is what I have done to get into the game. Bare with me, I am using vista, if you are also, go to your games tab in start menu. Open it and right click on the Far Cry2 icon. Now select to play safe mode, that will get you into to adjust settings. I think they have the settings way out of spec for most computers in the graphics section of options for the game... You can also go into your nvidia or ATI control panels and make your adjustments for AA and such to "application controlled"... This might help also...

Hmmm, I am almost halfway exploring the African Jungle in FC2.

One thing I can tell you for sure is that this game needs the latest PhysX drivers installed.

I have an NVidia card (8800 Ultra) so these drivers are included in the Detonator driver package. Visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/physx_8.09.�?/a>

Another thing is, do not install that EA game program.

Uninstall the game, update your Radeon drivers to the latest WHQL certified ones, update PhysX drivers, and do a custom install leaving out everything except the single player game.
