Stop pirating. It's dirt cheap, I've seen it for $10 in some places.

I dont think its pirating...

They just released farcry as a free game, but its now ad supported... So you get a mcdonalds commercial before the game loads up

yeah, u downloaded it the old fashioned way. and ur Winrar file says its corrupt.. U need to download it using their own IGN download manager (need IGN account for this), then when u open using the IGN download manager itextracts the files for you, and then takeyou right to their setup, not worrying about the rar files.

then u install and ding the fries are done.

did you extract all the files first? Did you read the read-me file?

I downloaded the free Prince of Persia from Gamershell using Firefox and it works fine so I don't think thats the problem.

Good god it seems like the free ad-supported version of far cry is more trouble than it's worth. I have seen like 5 Far Cry issue topics in the last two days. This tells me something..NEVER GET IT FREE IF THERE ARE ADS INVOLVED..because I think the ads are the problem slowing you down IMO like a commerical on TV when you just wanna watch the movie.
