Doesn't work for 8.1, does it?

[eXTA]

I was wondering if it would work on Windows 8.1 since it says Win 2000/XP ONLY in the description on steam.
Someone in the forums said it works on Win 7, does it?

Would it work on 8.1?

Thanks!

i've installed 1.4 patch (downloaded from ubisoft) for my steam version of Far Cry but it's not working. Far Cry still don't want to start...

hmm only thing i can think that might make a difference is i have Direct Play installed, its a windows feature you can enable.

Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Win Features on and off > Legacy Components > Direct Play

Anyone find a fix for Windows 8.1? Nothing happens for me :(

Yes, it works with Win 8.1 (just fired it up) but I have the original DVD version with the 1.32 update applied. The 1.4 cumulative patch didn't work for me, so I stuck with the 1.32.

Maybe try applying the 1.4 Standalone Patch and giving it another go. Here's the link:

As a last resort, I may consider making my Bin32 folder available as a zipped file (like what some people did to get the original Crysis to work). Then, apply a later patch if necessary.

Let me know...

I have Windows 8, not uploaded to 8.1. Any guarantee this game will work on this system ?

I have no idea. Nor can anybody really "guarantee" anything for you when it comes to running 32-bit games on a 64-bit OS...

But, for the money, I'd go for it. What do you really have to lose except maybe the price of one Starbuck's Tall or a Cheesburger Deluxe at McD's...

I used the solution of Django:

Far Cry 2 works on my win 8.0 and there was no problems. Microsoft Visual C++ download came with steam download and works perfectly.
