Guyz,
Please check the screenshot taken by me of Far Cry. I don't know whether my graphic card is supported or not and thus, having this problem. The game was running in 800X600X32 mode; the mountains and the enemies were undistinguisable because of the graphic error. My system config is P4 2.8, 1.25 GB RAM and ATi Mobility Radeon 9000 card with the latest drivers.

GOT IT ! :D I updated my drivers and now I am able to play the game smoothly even in high resolutions. This is more than I expected. Anyways, thanks for your reply. :) Now I will enjoy the full game. :wink:

Also, do this: Make a file named SystemCfgOverride.cfg in a notepad and add this in it:

d3d9_Occlusion_Query = "0"
e_overlay_geometry = "0"
r_Quality_BumpMapping = "0"
sys_spec = "2"
e_beach = "1"
e_EntitySuppressionLevel = "0"
e_flocks = "1"
e_active_shadow_maps_receving = "1"
e_shadow_maps = "1"
e_stencil_shadows = "1"
r_ShadowBlur = "0"

Then save this file in the Far Cry root directory and it will solve your problem of Ati 9200 series graphics card. The same issue was with my Ati 9000 card also and so, it solved my problem. Try it deathvirus and you will be able to play the game because your card is fully supported. :)

That solved thigs for me too ..... but it was ages ago .... infact i pushed the game to 1024*768 ... i managed more than playable fps ... edited some *.cfg files myself .... system.cfg and some others ....
