watdocdude Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 So along with my new computer comes a new OS. Which is Windows 7 x64. I've run into quite a few things that don't work with it anymore, but I've been able to put up with. Now however I just purchased a copy of the original Far Cry. No matter what I do I can't get it to install. I try to install, however it comes up with a message saying to run the 64 bit.exe , however there isn't one on the disk, and I can't install the 64 bit patch if the game isn't installed. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor. Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Far Cry2 works great on windows 7. No problems here :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Running windows 7 64bit pro.. If its home, you might need to download the windows 7 xp mode. Many games require it, but Far Cry 2 doesn't. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watdocdude Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 Install it under the 32bit programs directory it should work that way to. I can't get that far. I think I might just give up. I don't think it's going to work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watdocdude Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Does anybody have any suggestions? The box just sitting on the desk is starting to get to me. I'd like to get this to work. Is there a way to somehow install the patch without the game installed or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor. Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I think this might help you out, its a copy protection problem, punkbuster. This might resolve that issue. http://www.sevenforums.com/gaming/4022-w7-64bit-original-farcry.html Note issues with the real retail version on cd. update to the latest patch.
