Does this run on Windows 10?

[HAPY HAPY HAPY]

I have this game on CD, but it doesnt work. :/
Does the Steam copy run on Win 10 fine?

And i also heard there were issues where enemies could see you through walls and stuff.
Is that true?

Thx in advance!

For me it's not true. I didn't experience enemies being able to shoot me through the walls. But then again im only in 14th mission Boat.

Yes, the game does run on Windows 10 based on various sources. Make sure you install the 64-bit AMD patch which is included in your CD/DVD. I also have the DVD version but running on Windows 7 64-bit.

If the game doesn't run, try running on XP SP3 compatibilty mode. Also make sure your Far Cry DVD is inserted in your DVD drive. Without it you won't be able to play the game.

I have win 10 and it did run just fine.

Reminder to start STEAM "As Administrator", this solved a lot of starting problems with several games in my library. Verify cache is something you want to do after D/L any game on STEAM and then maybe once a week depending on your use of the game.
The AMD64 patches will add an additional bin folder to the game (bin64) with a 64bit optimized FarCry.exe and patch the game to v 1.32. A shortcurt is created on your DT. This runs independant of STEAM so you now have two games. You can run either. Mods and user levels work in both but I think do not save the same.
I don't need a compatibility mode, running fine in Win 10. Comp mode may (or not) help but which one to use depends on individual machine specs and OS. Game configuration is a more likely suspect. STAY AWAY FROM "VERY HIGH" LIGHTING! Ditto for shadows. This alone can cause the game to crash on start.
"Very high" and "Ultra high" offer very little improvement over "high" THROUGHOUT THE SETTINGS except for WATER.
You can also change the renderer to OpenGL and see if it fixes your gfx issues or makes them worse.

It is located in the patch folder in your DVD. Here's a screenshot I just made, just so that you don't accuse me of a liar.

The patch is amd64upgrade. It is just under 500 MB in size. If you can't find it, try searching for it on the internet with exactly this size that way you'll know you'll be safe to download it.

I tried installing the game from the DVD again and after installing, one error message pops up: "1628: Failed to complete installation." I think that is the issue.

And as for the patch, i couldnt find it. Checked through every folder and subfolder. Nothing.

[HAPY HAPY HAPY]

Yup. That is definetly the issue. Tried installing it again and this pops up every time.

What you can try, is copying the entire installation folder to your hard drive and then installing the game. Instead of trying to install it directly from your DVD. Because sometimes the DVD Drive fails to read the data resulting in error.

I believe I had this exact same Failed to complete installation when I tried through autorun. When I reinserted the DVD again and tried through Setup.exe then the game installed normally.

As for the patch, that you can download from the internet. I'm sure you'll find it. Actually I found that as well. http://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/442-far-cry-amd64-64-bit-upgrade-patch/ http://www.fileplanet.com/153236/150000/fileinfo/Far-Cry-AMD64-/-WinXP-Pro-x64-Upgrade-[English]

First try to install the game and then worry about the patches.

Doesnt work, even after copying installer files from DVD. But the interesting thing is, that when i launch the executable, the error message wont pop up anymore. Game just doesnt load after launching the executable.

I have no idea why it wouldnt work.

I just found out a link http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/1255004-FarCry-1-and-Windows-10?p=11128691&viewfull=1#post11128691
He says...

"How to Install FarCry 1 with Windows 10
Every Action should be performed with Admin Rights!

1. Install FarCry1 to C:\ not to C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Farcry... Important!
2. Install the "farcry_amd64upgrade_xx.exe" (xx depends of the language) Update.
3. Install the "farcry_amd64_ecu.exe" Update.
4. Start Farcry (64bit) with Admin Rights. No compatibility mode is needed.

That's all! Everything works fine (Tested with Windows 10 Professional (64bit))"

People are having difficulties finding the AMD 64-bit file though...

[skidmark]

Search for "AMD 64" quickly brought up "AMD 64 Patches for Far Cry Here" post. I just checked the links, they're still good. i don't understand why folks don't use the SEARCH function.
Win 10 is fine except for the constant Admin rights crap and the question of whether you have established Full Control over your folders. Untick any Read Only boxes in folder properties.
Starting STEAM "Run as Administrator" fixed a bunch of starting issues for many games in my Steam library.

[HAPY HAPY HAPY]

Still didnt work. Whatevs, bought the game from Steam. Best Far Cry i have played!

[☠ Asasin ☠]

Yeah, FC1 is still my favorite by a long shot.

[Orangutan]

It runs fine for me.
