Copied from another forum.. really works great :)

Find and edit "DevMode.lua" with wordpad or equiv. Add these two lines to the end of the file:

Input:BindCommandToKey("#Game:Save('quicksaved_game');","f9",1);
Input:BindCommandToKey("#Game:Load('quicksaved_game');","f10",1);

Use -DEVMODE on shortcut launch. You can quicksave with F9 and quickload with F10.

P.S. (Put the -DEVMODE after the quotes)

example: ... farcry.exe" -DEVMODE
 
feh! you're all weeenies!

play the game the way it was meant to be played!@ it's bad enough that you can "respawn" when you die... they planned out the save points so you can't save it every five feet...

it kind of makes it feel like more of an accomplishment when you beat a hard section... there's always "weenie" difficulty setting if that's too tough for you (you weenie).

:eek:

Hell, I can't even get to the "steal a vehicle" part in the very opening level! :(

Part of the problem, I think, is that I have my settings too high, so I'm ending up with 10-15 fps, and my aim is horribly off. I've got a 9600XT, but I'm thinking my AthlonXP 1700+ has hit its limits. Maybe. Maybe I'm just trying to talk myself into an upgrade. ;)

Whatever. I like the quicksave. If you don't like the quicksave, don't use it. But I would rather use it on the hard parts then redo 10 times. I'm not a weenie, there's just so many games to play and so little time. :D

Don't use it then. We don't all spend 20 hours a day playing Quake III.

Lol. I used to do that in college....I was real 'l337"

Anyway, I just finished FarCry last night on Veteran mode. Great game...I didnt think it needed quicksave anyway. The save points were close enough together that they weren't too annoying.

The last level got a little hairy though...but I made it through eventually. Congrats to CryTek on a great game!
 
Quicksave was already built in, it just didn't work right. The latest patch fixes that.
 
Rather than starting a new thread...

I'm at the carrier portion near the begining now. I have yet to find the sniper rifle. Have I passed it allready? If so where was it? If I haven't gotten to it yet don't tell me where it is. lol Just thought I'd have found it by now as I could have used it alot so far. Thanks.

damn i hate my computer i got farcry yesterday and it wont run on my comp with everything at low and no aa/af, and i have no way to earn money, but maybe sell 4 of my xbox games :/
 
If patch 1.1 fixes quicksave - how do you do it without the mod offered in this thread? Specifics are always nice.

I'm now using the mod above, yet when I reload from the quicksave, most of the time the HUD is gone, and the lower left compass is blacked out. Anyone else having this problem?

Suggestions?
 
no really guys, trying 20 times to get past 3 guys (one with a chain gun) and helecopter to the next save point only to fall off the boat is a SATISFYING EXPERENCE. :rolleyes:


thanks for this, ill be sure to use it

I may be wrong, but as I recall you get the sniper rifle before the carrier. At the first camp you come to with a look out tower you get it from the guy in the tower.
 
Generally I like the fact that there is no quick save. It makes the game last longer and makes it more challenging.

HOWEVER there are times when it makes me want to throw the computer out the window. For instance, I had to watch the friggin' Mutagen chamber (or whatever the hell it was) flood about 20 times. Sure it's a really well done moment in the game, but after reload #5 it got VERY old. Actually I only used the quicksave mod there and a couple other times. I'm playing on the third highest difficulty setting (w/ AI balancing on) and I admit that I have a lot of trouble at times.

If you don't like quick save, don't use it, simple solution. Nothing is worse than the guys that post "I beat this game in 20 minutes on 'Uber-Hard' setting one handed, half blind, while sick with the flu." Does anyone actually think the chicks dig that???

BTW, the quick save mod doesn't work like a traditional quick save. I'm patched up to 1.1 and the quick save works more like a teleportion device. If you quick load, all the enemies respawn as well. I learned this the hard way fighting Krieger. So if you kill every bad guy in a room and quick save, as soon as you quick load they're all resurrected and pissed off to find you in the middle of their party.

Someone please correct me if I'm using the quicksave mod incorrectly.

i agree =)
 
I once knew a guy who complained about someone posting a quicksave mod. He was a weenie. The end.

Seriously guys, if you don't like it, don't use it. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
 
You're ruining the whole experience by not playing the gam the way it was meant to be played. Why not just turn on GOD mode while you're at it.

It's your choice and thats fine but cheater's will never prosper. :rolleyes:
