Farcry 2 crashes at load screen

I've had countless problems with Far Cry 2. What video card do you use? FC2 has issues with ATI cards, and there are driver updates and a hotfix available.
If updating your video card doesn't do the trick, it could be your chipset. Find the latest chipset drivers for your motherboard and install them. I had to repeat the above process three times before I got Far Cry 2 to run right. And that didn't last long.

Well, what card are you using? What model?

I think that will take care of your problem, but also make sure you have the latest drivers.

Cool. If that doesn't work, update your chipset drivers. If THAT doesn't work, well, it wasn't meant to be. Lol.
Ok, try this:
Use Driver Cleaner Pro (http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=745) to delete anything and everything that's related to ATI.
Once you're done with that, reinstall the drivers and CCC. After you install the display driver, install the hotfix.
If that still gives you troubles, go for the chipset driver. Tech support won't tell you much else.

That's nice to know. When did they release 8.11?

3 or 4 days ago. Think its probably mostly the same as the second hotfix driver, version 8.552 vs 8.551, probably just has WHQL signing and official support from ATI, should be easier to find as well.
Now if only I could actually use them (they BSOD my crossfire configuration)

i'm using an ATI radeon HD 2400 pro, and windows vista 32 bit. the driver cleaner seems to have been removed.
You can try Driver Sweeper instead, but to be honest it sounds more like the file you downloaded was corrupt.
Here is the link to the driver download for vista 32 http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=vista32/common-vista32 I would recommend the catalyst software suite.
Ok. Try using ATI's uninstall then. It will give you the option of uninstalling both the display driver and CCC.
What we're trying to achieve is a clean slate for the new drivers to build on. I do feel sorry for you, though. I use Vista too, and for some reason my 4850 acts up frequently on Vista. I have a friend with the same card on XP who has no issues at all.

Vandall did you get the far cry 2 patch as well?
Xenophek do you have 64 bit vista if so i think thats the problem because my game acts up alot. I read it was because it was 64 bit os. I wish theyd fix that.

I think it may be Vista, period. I was looking for the solution to my problem and the common denominator was Vista. Ultimately the chipset update helped Far Cry, but it never was 100% Some people I came across were running 32 bit, some were 64.
