General Comments

I bought FarCry and read loads about it, but was really disapointed when I tried to play it. It wouldn't install! It just kept giving me the alert "cannot find d:/game.cab." I did some research and it turns out that the game cannot be installed if you have a certain brand of cd/dvd drive. I had an LG cd-rw drive and was desperate to play Farcry, so splashed out on an NEC DVD-RW drive. It was all going well until I got the same message again. The drive I bought was also one of the 'incompatible' drives! My advice - ring the publishers to find out if your CD/DVD drive is compatible before parting with any cash.

NOTE

It is apparently some kind of anti-piracy method, so certain drives with burning capabilities are made incompatible.

    i had the same problem.
    I didnt want to uninstall nero
    so i went to gameburnworld.com & i downloaded & installed the no cd patch for the game.
    you just replace the original exe file with the new 1 & it now runs fine no probs.
