I hope this trick works for you too… I use it every time I want to run the game. Annoying, yes, but I’m not sure that UbiSoft is to blame – I think it might be my fault for using beta NVIDIA drivers (195.55 for Windows 7) rather than the lame Dell drivers I should be using. If your timing is right, you should see Far Cry 2 appear in a window.ģ) Press ALT+ ENTER again, and then game should switch to full screen mode, allowing you to play. In my case, the splash screen appeared, and then it disappeared.Ģ) Wait until the screen turns black completely, and then press ALT+ ENTER. To solve this, I had to carefully trigger a keyboard shortcut at the right moment.ġ) Launch Far Cry 2. Kind of a disappointing experience for a newly purchased game, but it wasn’t the first time I encountered a game that refused to start.

The splash screen appeared, and the game did momentarily appear in the task bar – but after that, the screen turns black for about 2 seconds, and then everything disappears.

Unfortunately, when I went to run the game, it never launched successfully. I was pretty happy when I managed to snag Far Cry 2 for a low price on Steam, a month or so ago.
