32 bit or 64?

[KValda]

Hi all
I know the last patch 1.4 doesnt support 64bit version of the game but why i cant play in 32 bit version?
Whats the difference between 32 and 64?

[KValda]

But https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Far_Cry
told that "After applying the 64-bit Enhanced Content Patch, the mountain rock textures appear extremely blurry in-game."
Its also bad(
But what will I lose if i stay on 32 bit?

[KValda]

And what about Silent patch?

[KValda]

Ok thanks

[KValda]

Ineed:
1. Install a retail 1.0 version of the game
2. Install (Far Cry AMD64 (64-bit) Upgrade patch 1.32 AMD64
https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/442-far-cry-amd64-64-bit-upgrade-patch/
3. Far Cry AMD64 (64-bit) Enhanced Content patch
https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/443-far-cry-amd64-64-bit-enhanced-content-patch/

Right?
After that
But when i need to install SilentPatch?

And another way is:
1. install a retail 1.0 version of the game
2. Install (Far Cry AMD64 (64-bit) Upgrade patch 1.32 AMD64
https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/442-far-cry-amd64-64-bit-upgrade-patch/
3. install SilentPatch

Right?

The answer is, BOTH.
(Version 1.0 has temp crouch, 1.1 has toggle crouch).
The AMD64 patch can be installed along with any other version of the game, including STEAM's broken 1.4 version. The AMD version exists alongside of the other version and has it's own shortcut, it does not replace the other version. You can play either version with the same saves.
Keep in mind that if you use STEAM's verify cache feature after changing STEAM's version, it will be returned to 1.4. The AMD64 version is not affected.
There are also a number of Russian standalones of various versions, which can be handy to have.
Return To Paradise (1.0)
Ironwinds (excellent) (1.1)
Rambo2viet (1.3)
Fccommando (1.32)
You can find 'some' of them here: http://www.uloz.to/soubory/farcrymix/FC-Remake/
This site has many other very fine FC levels and mods. MUST haves are Railway, Airfield, the Matto series, Inferno trilogy, Farmer Jack, skriptfcc (mod).

Oh i can install all pathes good)
But I want toplay russian retail version of Far cry and tell me if you can.
Do I need language of AMD64 (64-bit) Upgrade patch 1.32 AMD64 as US version?
I hope it can be work on russian version)

You can use 1.4 and 1.32 64Bit at the same time as it also works with the Steam version if you want. I would recommend you to install FCAM and the Silent Patch and then either play the 1.4 32Bit version or 64Bit. Honestly there arent really many mentionable differences. FCAM doesnt support IronSights in the 64Bit version. If you really need them. I dont. Feels more original to use the zooming.

Now the main problem is to install the 64bit patch on the Steam version. I did a workaround. Didn't get around to make a guide for it yet. Maybe will eventually.

[KValda]

I did not fully understand you(
I prefer retail version i have retail 1.0
I want to get the best far cry and we have decided how get it from retai with in one of previous post of Xavier H.G.
I think is the best variant do you agree?

[KValda]

I want just to play single and all my questions concerned original single mod and i like original too! and i want to play otiginal too)
But you and anandtech told that amd patch changed game! I think if this patch change far cry as according in the site. I think it isnt nessesary to me. I agree to play without it but i can install Silentpatch right?

[KValda]

And if this patch doesnt work on Russian I can play with this patch on English for new impressions for improve graphics...

[skidmark]

The primary intent for the AMD64 patch was to allow the game to take advantage of 64 bit technology, the added graphics and areas are due to the "Extra Content Update" separate patch You can chose not to use the ECU.
I really don't see any difference between the 32 and 64 bit games but these are probably things you don't "see" in the game anyway, just code supposed to run better.
None of the Russian standalones is v1.4 so they don't need to be fixed on that count.
I tried to apply the AMD64 patch to Russian standalones - didn't work but that's because the AMD64 patch could only be used once and I'm too lazy to find a workaround.

[KValda]

I didnt ynderstand what did you mean when you told:
None of the Russian standalones is v1.4 so they don't need to be fixed on that count.
I tried to apply the AMD64 patch to Russian standalones

Can you explain detailed?
Buy the way Russian retail has 1.4 patch)
but I dont know do I need to install it or not. Its another question)

[skidmark]

Russian standalones refer to user-made levels that are complete FC games, non retail, they are not mods or levels that use an retail FC game. They could have made thier production a mod but they didn't. None of the current Russian standalones is v1.4.
I don't think it is possible to apply the AMD64 patch to these standalones, I tried
The first thing that happens is that the patch installer wants you to "uninstall the current patch" - weird. If anybody finds a way around it, let me know.

[KValda]

I dont understand what is None of the current Russian standalones is v1.4.
I know that there is a 1.4 patch for far cry Russian retail but where does it?
