I tried using Far Cry's so called "Configurator" to bring Far Cry's resolution back to a workable level... and when that didnt work to 800x600 (Minimum) The configurator seems to be totally ineffective... how can i get this thing working without reinstalling... Any tips?
It's not something people hear about.

Anywho.. I need an alternative to the "Configurator" there is no "Default" option.. however you can use "Auto Detect" or "Low" but I think the problem is that this config thing isnt changing the actual .cfg therefore the game is starting in 1200x900 or some crazy shit.
I'm going off memory here, as I don't have FarCry installed..
But in the Main folder, or Data folder, is the Farcry.cfg/.ini, or Game.cfg/.ini. It has the raw options you're looking for.

Eh, they're probably only going to talk about MOPAR this week anyhow, not like you'll be missing much.
