Far Cry (1) Graphics Improvements? And Vista Water Bug

[ganjagoblin]

Hello,

Are there any Far Cry graphics improvements? I've tried the 64bit patch and its exclusive content patch, but didnt really notice anything, so I'm back to vanilla steam 32bit far cry. And is there a fix for the far cry bug where terrain isnt reflected in the water? I think its a DX10/Vista bug.

Thanks

Far Cry doesn't have DX 10 I thought?

yeah but the game is still running on dx10 which is then backwards compatibe with dx whatever via the drivers etc.

I'm also playing on dx 10 (Windows server 2008) and I cant get the landscape to reflect but the trees do. I doubt this will be fixed anytime soon, if ever. I'm also playing with the 64 bit patch and the exclusive content and I cant see anything thats changed either. I'v even made screen shots to compare and nothings changed. maybe the 64 patch needs erm, patching on newer systems *shrugs*

...no, it doesn't work like that. DX9 games don't magically gain DX10 effects the same way that DX8 games don't magically gain DX9 effects.

Here's a thread detailing the differences between vanilla 32bit and the x64 version.
