    I FOUND FAR CRY 1 CRASHES ON WINDOWS 10 SOLUTION:1)WHEN YOU INSTALL THE GAME CHECK THE DESKTOP ICON(SHORTCUT) CREATION.IT WILL CREATE 2 SHORTCUTS(FAR CRY 1 AND FAR CRY 1 MAP EDITOR).YOY MUST RUN FIRST THE MAP EDITOR.WHEN MAP EDITOR IS COMPLETE YOU CLOSE MAP EDITOR AND OPEN FAR CRY 1 (INSTALLED GAME LOCATION FOLDER ) ON YOUR HARD DISK.YOU WILL SEE THE system.cfg file. OPEN IT WITH NOTEPAD AND FIND r_Height AND r_Width .YOU MUST CHANGE THEM AND PUT YOUR PC SCREEN RESOLUTION Height AND Width.. THEN GO IN BIN32 FOLDER AND SET COMPATIBILITY MODE TO WINDOWS XP SP3 FOR FarCry.exe.

    Yes this solution works!

    2. Install the "farcry_amd64upgrade_xx.exe" (xx depends of the language) Update.
    3. Install the "farcry_amd64_ecu.exe" Update.
    4. Start Farcry (64bit) with Admin Rights. No compatibility mode is needed.

    That's all! Everything works fine (Tested with Windows 10 Professional (64bit))
    Adding to the list of people who this worked for, I have the dvd version of Far Cry 1, an AMD quad core cpu, and Windows 10 64 Bit. It took a long time for the patch file to be able to install but with a lot of patience for each step this absolutely worked first time. I didn't need to install the 1.31 or 1.32 patches which were on the disc either, went straight for the amd64upgrade and all is well.

    Kudos to the poster!

    Same problem here.

    Windows 10 Pro
    i7 - 2600
    8GB
    Intel HD Graphics

    Have tried the previous options, except for the AMD updates, since I am on Intel.

    This DID work on an earlier version of Win 10, though I'm not sure which one. It's been almost a year since I tried.

    The install went fine, it simply does NOTHING when I try to launch it. It doesn't even show in the task manager that anything is even trying to start.

    I appreciate everyone's help here.

    I hope some new ideas come up. This is STILL a great game!

    Thanks,

    I wonder if someone can help me.. I had an issue in the FC1 mission Pier. While playing it on Realistic level, I couldn't access the armory I'm supposed to blow up. I'm just stuck there.. Then, when I started a new Walkthrough on challenging level, I managed to access the mentioned armory normally??
