Far Cry 2 does not start, process just disappears

Post by Sethioz »

Error/Bug:
When launching Far Cry 2 (or benchmark in farcry2), then it simply does not start. Either it shows the splash screen and then it disappears or sometimes it doesn't show splash, either way the process starts (farcry2.exe) and then it disappears without any error messages.

Cause:
This error may occur because of several things.
-Your graphics card is not supported (mostly ATI cards)
-Your drivers are not supported (try updating or try downloading BETA version if there's any)
-On windows XP, when you install DX10 (directX 10), then it does not work
-GamerProfile.xml has been corrupted or the resolution is fucked up in it

Fixes:
as about graphic cards, only thing i can suggest is to update drivers or maybe downgrade instead, because ive had some problems with newer versions of nVidia drivers before (not in farcry2).

GamerProfile.xml only occurs when you have changed your monitor (yes monitor, like from widescreen to normal or other way around) or if some other application steals the focus of window (by minimizing game or just popping over the game).

DirectX10 is probably your problem (also if you have XP with SP3 then you should try this fix). its simple, download and install DX10 Fix3 (look at bottom of post)


NOTE - there maybe more problems and causes that are not listed here ! those are the ones i found on google and the one i had on my own (DX10 problem).

DX10 XP Fix3
