I didn't know there was a 64-bit version, thanks for the heads-up.

 

Wait, this game's from 2004, that means it was meant for... [gag] Windows XP 64-bit... [vomit]

Can't understand why you should puke for XP x64, but let's stick to the topic.

Anyway, does it matter if you change settings in-game?

And are you using latest drivers?

While the FarCryConfigurator.exe seems to be completely worthless once you've installed the game for the first time, the in-game options worked when I set the game to High Lighting instead of Very High.  With that and the 64-bit/ECU patches, it works at a solid 90-170 FPS.  There's something odd about the water reflections, but it's nothing game-breaking.

 

Oh, and I also had to switch back to DirectX 9.  On the 32-bit version, DX9 gave me a black screen, and OGL gave me the display I linked earlier in the thread.  It seems you need to run OGL at least once before DX9 works.

 

Thanks for all the help, everything's fixed now.

      Area 51 (2005) Broken textures and lighting
      By bentehgray
      Although my computer can run its sequel, BlackSite, without a hitch besides having to enable vsync, I think that on certain systems, Area 51's textures are broken.
      The game starts fine, but the lighting becomes dark, and the textures become non-existent when I begin playing.
      Keep in mind, my PC specs include an AMD Ryzen processor and an RTX 2060 card. I should be able to run this game without a hitch, but no matter what I try, be it reinstalling the game, installing it in another directory, running in compatibility mode or trying the Project Dreamland version, the textures remain broken. It's a shame too, because Area 51 is a truly underrated gem and one of the better shooters of the 2000s, and I wanted to play through it again.
      Anyone have any ideas to what is happening?

      CryEngine Remote Console
      By Waschbär
      The Remote Console is part of Crytek's CryEngine since version 3.7.0 and allows users to execute console commands or modify parameters from outside their project/game.
       
      For normal users this tool may be useful for CryEngine games where the console has been disabled.
      Note: Certain commands (e.g. God mode) may have been disabled by the developers. Renderer/graphics commands (with "r_" prefix) should mostly work however.

      Far Cry AMD64 (64-bit) Upgrade patch
      By ThatOneReaper
      Original sources: FilePlanet (US, FR, DE, IT, ESP)
       
      This is the Far Cry AMD64 / WinXP Pro x64 Upgrade Patch. It allows the game to be run as a native 64-bit application, providing various benefits and enhancements.
       
      Note that the 64-bit version cannot be upgraded to v1.4 (the latest patch).
       
      After installing the patch, the Enhanced Content Patch should also be installed for extra content and optimizations (a link to the patch can be found on the Far Cry wiki page).
       
      Available versions of the patch:
      English (US UK)
      French (FR)
      German (DE)
      Italian (IT)
      Spanish (ESP)

      Here is the list of fixes and major notes:
       
      AMD64 Patch additions
      There is a known issue with the external application settings tool and newer GPU's. Using the auto detect feature in-game will properly detect and apply the correct systems settings.
      Resolved an issue where the dedicated/non-dedicated Server server crashes when a user uses “ \rcon start_server “ console command
      There is a known issue in Multiplayer where entering or exiting a ladder may cause the user gun to disappear. The client simply needs to switch weapons to make the gun reappear.
      Uninstalling the AMD64 bit version will not remove the CD-key. To manually remove the CD-key or Ubi.com settings from the registry, follow these steps: Click Start / Run. Tyep “regedit†and press enter. Navigate through the registry tree in the left window to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Crytek\FarCry\Ubi.com. Right click on the CD Key registry and click delete.
      Server and client versions of patch 1.31 and 1.32 will work together but it is highly recommended that users up-grade to the same patch version of both the client and the server.
      To ensure that opening movies play correctly the user must install the same language version of the AMD64 bit patch that is resident on their computer.
      Fixed a graphical issue with tunnel textures in the Stronghold map.
      Punk Buster is not enabled on the AMD64 version and Punk Buster toggles do not appear in server menus.
      Fixed an issue in Multiplayer where a player occasionally gets stuck on geometry in the mp_gorge_amd64 map.
      Fixed an issue where LAN server disappears from the LAN Server List after using the cvar “sv_severtype lanâ€. Note “SV_servertype UBI/LAN†should only be used before-creating a new server via console to define the type of the server. It will not change the status of an existing server.
      Optimized and refactored code to take advantage of 64 bit architecture
      Added Offset bump mapping support

      Patch 1.32 change log
      Fixed a Shader Model 3.0 issue that caused graphics corruption on new ATI hardware.
      Set the game to detect nVidia hardware to avoid shaders being compiled at run time.
      Recompiled the 32-bit version with a different version of STL to address some server slowdowns.

      The README file provided with the patch can be found under <base game folder>\Support\AMD64
