Far Cry 2 Problems to run

[dreampeppers99]

Just bought FarCry2 on PC DVD version, I installed it fine was ready to play, I double clicked on the icon, and came up with this error

FARCRY2.exe Application Error
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000001d). click on OK to terminate the application

System specs:
AMD Athlon XP +2400
2.5gb ram
Windows XP SP2
ATI radeon x1650

Little detail of cpu
the athlon xp don't has the SSE2...

Ah... yep. My XP SP2 install wouldn't run until it reaches XP SP3.

There is another game that does this: Mercenaries 2.

sorry runawayprisoner I did't mean that I suspect you.
I'll try it!
(I've said that before because I've read on other place that the game requires SSE2 [nothing officially])

Nah, didn't think you doubted me even for a sec. Actually, I didn't even think the reason would be like that. It's super silly...
Then again, it could also be that the thing requires SSE2... I'm not sure. I just know that I received the same error message when on XP SP2.

Thanks I'll change to XP3 and post here the results.

Best of luck then. If it runs, then I guess the game really does require XP SP3 to run.

runawayprisoner thanks I've tried however the error doesn't dissapear... now we can "suposse" that the problem can be the set SSE2 instructions.

I have this exact same problem and my CPU is an Athlon 3200+.
Can it really be down to just the chip?
I find it surprising that a game manufacturer would simply cut out all people with older machines :/

[Tilla]

I'm playing it right now on XP SP2.

It is definitely your processors.

Minimum requirements say:

Processor: Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz, Pentium D 2.66 Ghz, AMD Athlon 64 3500+ or better
Memory: 1 GB of SDRAM
Graphics: GeForce 68xx or Radeon X1650

why would you find it surprising that they would cut support? as long as idiots keep buying games they'll keep ****ing people over.

Pentium 4 3.2 GHz, Pentium D 2.66 Ghz, AMD Athlon 64 3500+ or better

^no support for AthlonXP.

There must be so many people out there that have slightly older machines. This is the first game I have come across that simply won't run, and it looks like it is down to the CPU. Is it just sloppy programming? It's just odd that newer games still work on the machine like COD4 and Crysis (albeit in some sections it plays like a Powerpoint presentation :>). Maybe it looks like I'll have to save up some cash to buy a new chip and probably mobo, and then I'll probably need different ram and then a new gfx card. Gah. What a pain.

Definitely not sloppy programming, it runs way better than Crysis ever did on my lower-middle range system. Truth be told the Athlon XP architecture is really, really, really really old at this point and they can't keep supporting it if they want the best performance. The last new Athlon XP is over 5 years old now.

the last AthlonXP (3400+) was never released

I guess is that instruction set SSE2!

Even if it did run, why would you bother with such a slow CPU?

Runs like a dream on my old 7950GT 512 @ 650/1600.

Can't imagine it being even slightly playable on your system though, dreampeppers99.

Man could you imagine that I finish ...
Crysis and COD4

and now I'm playing the PRO EVO 2009 and it running high quality ( sure around 15 - 45 fps)

I agree... however I must to change all the system (I mean hardware)...
My time will come!

Have you installed the latest PhsyX download from nVidia?

Aso, try installing the latest VC ++ runtimes and..... Visual Studio 2.0 runtimes as well.

Those usually solves most games troubles.
