Far Cry 2 sees 1.02 arrive from Africa
By Jessica Citizen - Fri Dec 19, 2008 11:40am
Far Cry 2 is getting in on all this patchin' action (heh, that rhymed), with their shiny new 1.02 update, out this week. Fans of the game have been wanting this one for quite a while now, and it does seem to pack quite a bunch of updates into one 50MB patch (including widescreen support and a whole pile of tweaks for multiplayer).
If you've had trouble installing the earlier 1.01 patch, this promises to fix any problems there, and has included both sets of updates in one handy-dandy location.
However, if you've bought the game via Steam, do not install this version - instead, please wait until the update is available via the digital distribution service.
