    Make sure to get the latest game patch for Vista compatibility.

    You probably need to download the latest FarCry patches, I've downloaded these files from various sources:

    'far_cry_v1.3.exe'
    'far_cry_v1.31.exe'
    'far_cry_v1.33.exe'

    And I think you have to update sequentially (i.e.: 1.3 then 1.31 then 1.33).

    EDIT: Seems 1.4 is out for 180MB...
