just recently, the sound has gone in Far cry!
I have sound every other time - in windows and other games etc., but not during this game. i have sound for the autoplay menu on the cd, but as soon as the game starts theres nothing...
please help!
 
A few things you could try...

  • Make sure the latest sound drivers are installed.
  • Install the latest Far Cry Official Patch.
  • Try Disabling EAX within the game.
Did the sound just cut out one day, or have there been changes to your pc recently? And does the loss of sound affect all previous levels or just your current saved point?
 
when I first installed it, my sound was screwed up, stuff came out of the speakers but it wasn't what was supposed to be there, I reinstalled, didn't help. Then I got a no-cd image thing and that fixed it, so I guess it's worth a shot
 
i dunno if it affects more than one point in the game, but yeh i have the latest drivers, patches and EAX is off...

I did reduce the hardware accelleration on the sound card a little, at that fixed it. but why?!?!
 
i just redueed the sound card hareware acceleration a little, at thats fixed it... but why?!?!

As was mentioned in another thread, do not discuss or mention any cracks or altering of software on the forums. Doing so will result in warnings (consider this yours) and continue up to a temporary ban.
 
nah everythings working fine now with the soundcard hardware acceleration down one notch, which doesn't bother me...
and for the record mine is genuine! i got it with the vid card!

Not all no-cd's are illegal.

Only if the developer of the game would release it. But I haven't seen a single "official" no-cd image or crack. But didn't Rockstar include some sort of tip on how to get better performance with the 1.1 patch for GTA3?

EDIT: Found this info taken from the GTA3 1.1 patch readme.

- Option for user to play audio files directly from hard disk. Copy the contents of the PLAY discs Audio directory into your installed Grand Theft Auto III Audio directory. Grand Theft Auto III still requires the presence of the PLAY disc when started. This may give better performance on some machines (though worse on others).
- All protection checks (apart from needing PLAY disc to start) removed. Grand Theft Auto III still checks for the presence of the PLAY disc when initially started, and plays audio from the PLAY disc if not found on the hard disk (see above).

That is perfectly acceptable, since you are not circumventing any copy protection, and you still require the disk to play the game at all.
 
Yes, and it also proves my point, which some might have read (in another thread), that performance can be improved by "disabling" the need to read certain files off of CDs/DVDs and that in some cases the methods are legal.
