Is it possible to play this game on windows 10?

[Best Pureeyaa]

Yes.

It's not working for me on Windows 10. My PC far exceeds the specs for this game and all drivers are, of course, up to date.

DX 10, DX 9, everything maxed out or everything set to low it doesn't matter I'm lucky if I can play for 40 minutes before it crashes to desk top.

I've searched the net high and low for some kind of solution and came up with nothing that can help. If fact I've spent more time searching for a solution than the 4 hrs playtime I've got into it.

It's a shame too because this is the kind of game I love. Oh well, uninstalled.

It works for me and officially it should work with Windows 10 but some people with Windows 10 are having issues.

Yes, Far Cry 2 should work, just don't try Far Cry 1, I'm seeing a lot of problems with Windows 8 and 10 for FC1.
If you run Far Cry 1 on Windows 10, you may need to revert back to older graphics drivers. If it even runs at all.

I can't get past the splash screen.

I agree most games should still function, but they just don't wouldn't think it's a OS issue, rather a Graphics problem, lots of "old" games don't work properly and due to video card drivers, it's not the drivers are bad, it's because of enhancements that doesn't work well with old games. Thus being how technology changes, older our games get based on OS,CPU and GPU technology the more they become "incompatible".

I have seen so much where drivers are the main culprit majority of the time for application hangs and crashes. Far Cry 1 does that to me, I can't run all details on max because the Game Ready Drivers from Nvidia are Performance drivers, rather not allowing us to run our Anti-Aliasing, Anisotropic, etc....textures and so on.

I tried playing Windows 98 games such as Deer Hunter 4 and Deer Hunter 5 on my GT620, it is just impossible with high speed DirectDraw and Direct3D, textures ended up so garbled, couldn't even see where I was walking, I knew that older games are just simply an issue with new high-tech hardware. I just basically found other means to play the game, Xbox 360, or PS4. I been a troubleshooter for over 17 years. It is what it is so I gave up trying old games on a new Windows 8 system. Just knew wasn't even possible. Most old games only go back so many DirectX versions...Depends on the game and Video Card. I hope I am making sense here :) I hate it as much as you all do. I ran into so many snags with old video cards and new games, therefore gives me the opposite of old games and modern video cards.

proving once again that Windows 10 blows.....Farcry 2 is even better than 3 and 4 combined, as old as it is , it's simpler and you don't need uplay or a constant internet connection to play it. And it's a huge game.......needs more weapons though, could always use more weapons...and vehicles....and flying machines.....

Hi

I updated to 10, installed via Steam and it is working perfectly for me without any tinkering. Which pleasantly surprised me.

Yeah, I'll be using a Windows 7 partition for a while it seems.
And that guy is right, a lot of our game problems come from the evolution of video drivers, which does coincide with OS advances at times.

It would be nice to have some old school machines around, dedicated to running older software, I just don't have the room anymore; will have to make tradeoffs until I score that mansion (actually I'd probably rather have a warehouse... more manageable space and a ton cheaper)

I agree right with ya!

Although Windows 10 is out now, lots and lots of game issues running Windows 10, which I won't be buying Window 10 already since it has problems first day on the market lol. I'll stick with my Vista system here and play off of it. Just keeping the compatibility of games alive. If I do get Windows 10,. it'll be on another system that's not running games.

[Plaid]

You might as well grab the free copy of Windows 10 now though. Just install it later.

Just started playing the game in Windows 10, after 6 hours, no problems at all. DX10 and settings on high

You have to run the .exe of FC2 in compability mode. For example in windows vista 2. Worked for me fine. Before it didn't even start at all.

[scrapser]

I have FC2 retail CD v1.03 installed on my Alienware 17 R4 laptop with Windows 10 Pro 64. It installed and runs fine. I am not running it in compatibility mode. I have the Steam version but the Fortune's Edition has sound bugs which I do not like so I reverted back to my retail copy.
