I have the patch installed but I keep getting disconnected every 3 or so mins from Internet multiplayer... Does anyone know why? Also is it just me or is there a bit less detail on multiplayer?...ie no grass swaying about etc.... Cheers Craig....

I did a quick google search and found this.

I made that mistake. Signaturewww.stri.tk "I pay no attention whatever to anybody's praise or blame.

Craig... Craig Coope proclaimed... > Actually can you or anyone vouch for the lack of "3D grass" on > multiplayer?...I get all the bushes etc...just not the grass....hmmm... I can't vouch for it but I have had an inclining that the graphics were slightly poorer but I couldn't say for sure because I dropped the resolution to solve my graphic slowdown problem and to generally improve internet performance.

I don't have Far Cry, but I would imagine this is for the same reason that there is no grass in H&D2 multiplayer: to create a level playing field. Where such graphics could provide concealment, all players must have the same fixed graphical setup, and since some players can't run the grass on their lower-spec PCs, everyone has to do without. -- Paul > > Actually can you or anyone vouch for the lack of "3D grass" on > > multiplayer?...I get all the bushes etc...just not the grass....hmmm...

I wouldn't say it was obvious, but if you want it to be that's fine with me. > I wouldn't say it was obvious, but if you want it to be that's fine with me. My apologies, that didn't come across with the humour intended... or indeed, any at all. Thanks for the points :) -- Paul > I have the patch installed but I keep getting disconnected every 3 or so > mins from Internet multiplayer... > > Does anyone know why? This used to happen to me - turned out the reason was that ZoneAlarm was interfering with the game.. I uninstalled ZA and went to Sygate instead - problem solved.
