Farcry (from being happy)
So I recently built myself a new computer. I didn't really need it (the last one was fine), but I wanted something beefy to run HL2.
Athlong-64
Gig of memory
RAID 0 120Mb HDD
And a 6800GT
I won't go into the details, but you get the idea. It was, more or less, at the top range of PCs available at the time (about 3 months ago).
So after finishing HL2 (which I enjoyed) and stopping Doom3 (which I did not), I wanted something else to put this puppy through its paces. I had heard that FarCry was a very pretty game and required a high-spec computer to play.
Yesterday I bought a copy and installed it. Looks nice (but nothing amazing) and I'm very disappointed in the AI, but that's another story. What bugs me is that when I go through the Graphics Options and select Auto-Detect, it configures all the settings at LOW.
LOW? WTF?
I bought the second most powerful graphics card available and it's configuring my system at LOW?
When I changed the settings to Very High, High, or (FFS) Medium, I still got black textures on the beaches (instead of the correct "sandy" look).
Surely something's not right? Am I missing something or is a 6800GT on a AMD64 with a Gig of RAM considered LOW spec for this game?
