I just installed far cry onto my computer and I try to play and when its in the middle of loading the first level its cuts off and automatically quits, and it returns to my desktop. I don't know what the problem is, but knowing me its probably something stupid that anyone can figure out but I don't know. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Make sure you have the latest update because I know there was one update that actually broke the game.
Also, I had an older computer and I had a similar problem when I first installed it. An athlon 2100xp with a Radeon 9800 Pro.
I installed and started the game but got a black screen for several minutes. At first I thought it was the computer crashing. It just took forever to load. Sometimes ten minutes. Sometimes it would just crash.

Yeah the integrated video is a no go for games. You need to buy a video card. Look at the minimum system requirments before you buy a game. I tried to look them up, but i wouldnt imagine them being any lower than a radeon 9000 series... Thats why you cant play, and off to get a card if you want to play games.
