775710 2009-05-22 00:48:00 I have been playing FarCry and trying to play Hitman - Codename 47 recently. In FarCry, no textures were being rendered on the water or outdoor ground, and hitman is lagging and not rendering a lot of elements. I installed new drivers from the nVidia website and now FarCry is putting some kind of texture on the ground but not the right one, it could be some kind of bump channel. What I find really weird is that Crysis works fine. Could this be a compatibility thing with Windows 7? sammo450 (13626)
775711 2009-05-22 00:57:00 could be , have you tried changing the video settings from within farcry itself?(great game btw) GameJunkie (72)
775712 2009-05-22 01:41:00 Yes I tried changing it to medium res, sam thing. Works fine in XP on the same machine. sammo450 (13626)
775713 2009-05-22 02:42:00 I actually have texturing issues in FarCry (the first one, not 2) under XP with the 18x series nVidia drivers. inphinity (7274)
775714 2009-05-22 05:34:00 Oh ok. I just find it strange that a game as heavy as Crysis works fine on my PC, but FarCry doesn't. My system is well above the recommended specs. sammo450 (13626)
775715 2009-05-22 05:52:00 Try running in Vista or XP mode.

Right Click the game's main executable>properties>compatibility tab.

Change to Vista, then try XP

Or it may just be the drivers, they're in beta for W7 anyways
