Yes, 1.9.5 is broken.

I started testing with 1.7.49 because I knew from experience that it worked with other games. There might be other functional versions newer than 1.7.49 (the 64bit files I uploaded are v1.7.53 for instance) but I was too lazy to try them all and I doubt they would perform much better.

1.9.50 or 1.9.5?
And it's not like performance just fractions of the original is expected by design.
I'd almost open a bug on wine tracker at this point.

Nevertheless if somebody could get these dam traces from PIX..

I don't see 1.9.50 anywhere, only 1.9.5.

I'm using different versions of WineD3D for other games, not D3D9 but DDRAW, and speed always takes a hit. I assumed that's the way things are.

I'm playing using 1.6 in Windows 10 ... no probs so far apart from the usual lack of landmass reflections.

How the heck did you manage that? Even the download page for Patch 1.6 says "At the moment there is no solution to use 1.6 with Windows 10". http://www.farcrypatch16.de/faq/

Oh my Goddamn Jack Carver running&gunning on the Island 😁

Wine3D fix fixes:

1) *the water shader corruption* (never seen the water correct, NEVER, no matter the drivers, the GPUs and the years gone by! I can't believe my eyes!!!!!! No more water affected by your gun model !!!!!)
2) A recent nasty AMD-only (...) bug:

Thanks!

Try the REAL 😁 unofficial patch: http://www.moddb.com/mods/farcry-addon-mod-fc … rcry-patch-1505

1.6 is a rip-off....

Regarding WineD3D performance, two things has a huge effect on it for Nvidia users:

1: Nvidia multi thread optimization in the Nvidia Control Panel should be off.

2: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Wine\Direct3D\UseGLSL (Reg_SZ). Should be set to disabled.

Also long startup times for WineD3D on Win8+ can usually be fixed by Disable8And16BitModes compatibility mode, of course with the loss that the application can no longer see 8-bit and 16-bit color modes, but I think Far Cry doesn't mind only having 32-bit mode available.

Steam FarCry 1.4+Unofficial Patch 1.505 and Wine3D Fix.
All maxed out (AF16x forced in the config file, changed impostor distance, etc.) / 1920x1080 - Radeon 7850 (1050/1200) + i3 530@3.8 GHz + Win7SP1
NO FSAA

Not bad!

And for the sake of (past vs present) comparison, this is the same spot but with Far Cry 2010 (http://www.moddb.com/mods/farcry-2010 - the landmass reflections are correct in this mod, so d3d9 all the way and no need for fixes 😀 )

Sorry, my fault.
Of course I meant 1.7.49 VS 1.7.50.

Cmon, it's not like there's anything impossible 😉

Frame rate ?

FPS can be seen in the photos 😊

I think he's using MSI Afterburner.

EDIT: Far Cry 2010 looks awesome.

It's only lacking of distant fog! With a bit of fog.....it could be perfect.

Classic combo Afterburner+RTSS.

He never finished it either did he? I think it's only the first few levels that got re-done.

Yes 🙁

Was going to start a new thread, but figured my queston can be answered quickly in here 😀

Is there a benchmark built into Far Cry? I'm running the GOG.com version. I've come across conflicting information. One apparently says there is one built in (which I could not get working) and another says there is a dedicated 3rd party benchmarking utility for the game. What all do you guys do?

http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/farcry-be … ng-utility.html

For the inbuilt benchmark you have to record a timedemo first.

Yeah, the guru3d one is the 3rd party one I referenced. So when you guys compare Far Cry results, I assume it's with the guru3d utility, so results are consistent between comparisons?

I use that tool as well.

It has presets, but I always select "custom configuration file". Point it to the config file in the Far Cry folder and the dialogue box with the settings will pop up before it runs.

For my Windows XP benchmarks I set the details to medium, no AA, no AF, but EAX sound enabled.

It does have ready to go presets as well, but not for medium and not for very high + ultra for the water.
