Farcry 2 Patch v1.03 released
Posted: Thu Jun 04, 2009 1:14 am
I know hardly anyone here bothers with this epic failure of a MP game, but the latest patch (v1.03) has been released.
Apparently it removes the DVD check, which would mean I could actually play it since my DVD is fubar'd and no longer works. It also has a hardcore mode now, though they still have implemented a working in-game auto-team balance, so no doubt team fudging will still occur.
Anyhow, patch link is here: http://static3.cdn.ubi.com/far_cry_2/far_cry_2_1.03.exe (60mb)
