Far Cry 2

What works

- Install from GOG
- Launch the game
- Keyboard input
- Mouse movement
- Navigating in menu
- Changing settings (see workaround)
- Graphics (see workaround)
- Sound
- Videos

What does not

- Max out all graphics settings lead to game crash during loading screen.

- Using Anti-aliasing.

- With texture quality above "Medium", everything appear glitched.

Workarounds

Step to follow to avoid crash and play with the best graphics quality possible :

1) Max out graphics all settings (if your computer can follow of course)

2) Disable Anti-aliasing (or the game will crash)

3) Set "Texture quality" to "Medium" (and not above)

What was not tested

- All the game
- Network play

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: AMD
• Driver: open source

Additional Comments

I tried to use dxvk 1.6.1 thinking it will resolve the crash with "High/Ultra" Texture quality, but the result is the same.
