cant get malaria pills

[The Moops]

early on i seem to keep getting caught in a glitch where i can not get the malaria pills early on in the bar. character dialogue jumps around and repeats over and over again... then i cant do anything at all. i tried verifying the integrity of the game files, and it gives me the all clear but the glitch keeps happening. any ideas?

Limit your frame rate to 60 or less. This game was designed before anythng
above that was even possible.

With new hardware and OS's game has developed some game ending bugs.

I highly recommend using this launch tool which fixes almost everything. Here's
the entire article clipped from my guide. - Lots more very useful info there -

- Best of Luck - !

- ★To Assure that you don't end up with GAME ENDING BUGS ★ -

Imagine working through 40 hours or more only to lose it all at 84% complete.
I've been through it twice, and I'd hate to see anyone suffer the pain when this
simple fix is available :

Always launch the game using FoxAheads' Multi-Fixer. - Well tested and
has added options to set FOV - and more -

Thanks ! - to:

Update

New version 1.9.0.50
https://github.com/FoxAhead/Far-Cry-2-Multi-Fixer/releases/tag/v1.9

Changes:

Better version detection from dunia.dll with changed size.
If somehow dunai.dll size was changed, try to find the version string explicitly.

Important ! - How to run in steam:

Put the multifix launcher in your Far Cry 2 Bin folder
Rename FarCry2.exe to FarCry2Game.exe
Rename the Multi-Fix launcher to FarCry2.exe

In your steam library there's a listing on the left
right click on the game and select properties

Path should look something like this:

"-exe "Drive" :/Games/steamapps/common/Far Cry 2/Bin/FarCry2.exe"
Change to "-exe "Drive" :/Games/steamapps/common/Far Cry 2/Bin/FarCry2Game.exe"

Done.

You'll know it works when you launch. - A new menu appears with some extra launch
options including set FOV.

Leave max frames unless you want to chance bouncing AI and a dozen more glitches,
some that can ruin your progress.

Along with using the multi-fixer, I recommend disabling
full screen optimizations, and running as an admin.

Both of these things are done by right clicking > properties of the fc2.exe file.

Thanks very much to FoxAhead for allowing me to host his thorough FC2 Fix Guide here:

Out of respect for Ubi and it's players I'm including a caution expressed by Ubi administrators:

Please note that Ubisoft Support is unable to promote the use of 3rd party software as a workaround, as this can conflict with game files[support.ubisoft.com] and cause issues running the game.

Players are welcome to try suggestions regarding 3rd party software, but you would be doing so at their own risk, and Ubisoft Support will be unable to assist regarding any issues that may result from using third-party software to modify game files in an unauthorized way.

Thanks!

Understood. Though from what I gather Multi-Fix is basically a frame limiter and
doesn't alter any game files, will include the above caution with any future
recommendation.

- Players have a right to know Ubi's position regarding game file modifications.

- Thanks for your past - and future ministrations - 8 )
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Additional info - FoxAhead has assured us that multi-fix does NOT affect internal game files
but just creates the right settings for the game to launch and run almost completely bug free,
and it has been thoroughly tested on thousands of systems over a period of several years.

There are a few for which Multi-Fix has had issues or has not worked, but they are very rare and since game files have NOT changed an uninstall is as simple as deleting the Multi-Fix launcher.

★ Careful I - That you don't accidentally delete the FC2.exe !

If you followed the instructions for running in steam (above) be certain to rename the files
and command line names back to the original. - Just be sure you're deleting the Multi-Fix
Launcher, and NOT the FC2 executable.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

If there are any discrepancies or inaccuracies in any of the above - no matter how slight -
I most stridently urge those more fully informed than myself to speak up with the corrections.

To be clear - I'm quite confident, otherwise would not have committed this to print.
