Jackal Tapes

And mandru: He also said "manning a CP" (unlike GP)  ;)

All that means is that I've been hanging around the guy too much and picking up bad habits.  ;D

better picking up bad habits than bad weapons, hanging around him  ;)

The culprit is definitely patch 1.03.

I uninstalled then reinstalled FC2 and patch 1.02. (and remembering to quit the auto-updater when launching the game - not found a way to disable that yet).

Loaded up the Andre 42% save, headed south. First tape was the one we have all got stuck on. Second tape was the next tape in the sequence. Hurrah!

Here is a link for patch 1.02 for those with 1.03 who want to un/re-install it.

Cheers mate  :) :-X

Use a desktop shortcut to the farcry2.exe and launch that instead. If it is possible during installation to do that... I can't remember if the installation process already checked for updates.

The shortcut would look somewhat like this

"HD:\yourfolders\Far Cry 2\bin\farcry2.exe"

Unfortunately, you can't do this with the Steam version of the game. :-\
