DRM protection apparantly is the same as that used on Mercenaries 2 and Spore, you get to install it 5 times, but if you uninstall it you get one of the licences back.

Far Cry 2 leaked via torrent, US copy is region free

It seems Far Cry 2 is the latest game to make its way onto internet ahead of its official release, with three separate torrents available to download at the time of writing this. Two of them weigh in at 6.7GB and another at just over 7GB. We have no idea what the difference is though.

This news comes less than a week after Fallout 3 suffered a similar faith - although it was leaked almost three weeks early.

If there is one bit of good news that comes from the leak, then it is that the US copy is region free. This means that us Euro folk can import the game from the US and not put as big a dent in out pocket as usual.

Far Cry 2 is scheduled to hit Euro shores on PC, 360 and PS3 on October 24.

Far Cry 2 comes Home today

Hi All, the Far Cry 2 Space is launching in PlayStation Home?s closed beta as we speak!

2942778276_e01bcca166.jpg?v=0

The space will invite players to dig deeper into the game?s vast African landscape. Users will have the opportunity to investigate in-game environments, including a bombed-out train station that has been converted into the ad hoc office of Reuben Oluwagembi, a journalist caught in the middle of the propaganda conflict between the warring UFLL and APR factions.

In Reuben?s office, you?ll be able to analyze an interactive map of the game world to strengthen your knowledge of the Far Cry 2 environment to develop your strategy for future missions. Locate guard posts, safe houses to save the progress of your game, weapon shops to buy new weapons, and bus stations to expedite your travel across the expansive land.

2942748532_a2a9f22bdc.jpg

Players will have access to Reuben?s files containing various pictures, articles, and dossiers that will delve deeper into the background of The Jackal, as well as that of the other warlords and opposing factions. And finally, multiplayer game of Mancala that uses bullets as game pieces will be fully playable.

Hope you enjoy it and be sure to look out for new features as we?ll be updating the space regularly.

Don't worry. The PC is still going to be blamed for the piracy (yeah, even GOW2) and lost sales.

So I finally got to try the game, though only for around 40 minutes.

I gotta say, the game is awesome! My friend was sitting next to me, commenting as I went along. First thing I noticed since I haven't read much on the game, is the free-roam aspect. You have that huge chunk of land to explore, safehouses, vehicles, having to get a hold of medicine and weapons. At first the graphics weren't that impressive, did feel a bit below what I've seen on the Xbox 360 but as I went along and saw how vast the game was and some of the environments, I was blown away. The atmosphere is really great, really has that African feel of dirty, worn down towns and beautiful surroundings.

My friend kept mentioning the sounds which I didn't really take notice of until he said it. I had my 6.1 Surround cranked up and the weapon sounds were extremely crisps, every sound was very crisp actually. You could really feel that "Kick" when firing a shotgun and the rifles sounded really authentic.

I am blown away and I barely got past the tutorial, only drove around in a broken old car doing some easy training missions and I was impressed - Can't wait to see the rest of the game (Y)

Oh another thing I liked, when you enter doors, cars, remove bullet wounds or take medicine, you actually 'see' yourself opening that door, removing that bullet or throwing some pills in the face.

I love this game! ( Sethos liking a game? A black hole must be forming somewhere )

Woot, so happy you like it :D

The immerison in the game is great. Just like you said, I love the way you don't use medikits in the traditonal sense but actually inject yourself or remove bulelts. Plus the way you intereact with the surroundings. Like when you open doors or even when you repair the broken down car. It's so awesome :woot:

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      Same Internet Archive seemed to grab the new version https://web.archive.org/web/20...d/Setup_MakeMKV_v1.18.4.exe Here's the link to an additional file it periodically downloads https://web.archive.org/web/20260213092148/https://www.makemkv.com/sdf.bin I think update's keys, etc. To manually trigger this update, put the sdf.bin file in the root of where the program is installed. When you launch the program it will pick up the file and import it. Typically put it here: C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\sdf.bin
    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.

      It saddens me when cars are such dull colours now. Mine is bright metallic blue and I absolutely adore it for standing out in contrast to that depressing backdrop of traffic.
