The AMD64
version of Far Cry is now available for the new Windows®
XP Professional x64 Edition operating system. The AMD64 version is an upgrade
that installs on top of the retail, boxed version and gives you an enhanced
Far Cry experience. The free AMD64 upgrade supports both single- and multi-player
modes. With an AMD64 processor and the new Windows® XP Pro x64 operating
system, you can now enjoy Far Cry with additional content, higher frame
rates, enhanced textures, longer view distances, and more objects with real-time
physics. Take a look at the images below to see these improvements for yourself.

AMD64 Exclusives
In addition to improvements to existing content, the AMD64 version includes
additional multiplayer levels and areas that can only be accessed in the
64-bit version of the game. Check out the screen shots below to see the
new areas and additional physics in the game.

The barrel storage area is not part of the original game. In the Pier Level,
you can find the area by traveling southeast from the Mercenary Camp past
the two abandoned tanks. Then, turn due south down the path until you arrive
in the barrel storage area.

The AMD64 version adds new explosive areas. Check out the number of objects
in this explosion. Even the roof of the hut is part of the action.

Above, check out the terrain in one of the new multiplayer levels in the
AMD64 version. This level is called “mp_gorge_amd64”. You can
only play this with the 64-bit upgrade.

The second new multiplayer level is shown above. Check out the vehicles
and expansive size of the level. This level is called “mp_stronghold_amd64”.
