Can any one help, please? I am on the first mission where I have to collect 3 types of plants and two skins which I have done (numerouis times!) I then take them back to Dennis who kindly offers to show me how to craft things. the trouble is when he shows me the tattoos I can't get out of the Tattoo screen.There is no label saying back or cancel etc I have pressed every button on the key board to no effect. The only thing I can do is Control Alt Delete to stop the game and start that F****** mission yet again (why can't we save when we want?!!!) and the same thing happens.What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks
I had much the same problems with that area. I finally figured out that (don't remember the exact sequence) I had to click/double click on one of the skill icons and then it opened up to the crafting. As for the saves, this game has the worst save system of any game I've ever played....bar none!!. I just printed the little seven page manual that the PC version provides. NOT a lot of help!! I really don't want to spend another $20-$30 for the big manual so this game may soon go into the "Why did I buy this" stack of games at my house.
JFI: I actually still have installed and I actually still play the original FARCRY game. FARCRY 2 was graphically great, but you could shoot everyone in an area, go two screens over, turn around and go back to that area and everyone was back in their "shoot me again" places.
The game's manual is provided in-game. You can read all about the save system there (which incidentally, I mostly like as it prevents save s*******).Originally Posted by alwrmc Go to original post
Thanks for the reply. I have had another go, still without success. I can't be bothered with this game anymore. I guess that will upset Ubisoft as they laugh all the way to the bank with my money!! I loved Far Cry and thought that the environments in Far Cry 2 were great but the combat was rather boring and un realistic.
I had the same problem and repeats that you did including meeting the crocodile when collecting the plant in the river (I think is was because I had just killed the animals and stuffed them in my bag. Fresh blood? Every previous time I hadn't and I didn't get attacked).
On my computer, when it seemed to freeze up and I had to use the ctl- alt-delete to get out, I found if I double clicked on the skill and then pressed control it worked and you were given a choice if you wanted to accept the skill or not. After I spent the initial two skill points, when I went to use a third one I only had to double click. I hope this works for you too! I am now progressing along and having a lot fun...
