I just decided to drop the cash on Far Cry and when I came to download it, instead of a single unified EXE, it seems we get 3 items, an .EXE & a pair of .BIN files (presumably images of the 2 game discs).
Any other GOG games have multipe install files like this? Wonder why the change...

You can't make a single EXE bigger than 2GB? Wow I never knew that! Always something new to discover about IT.
Cheers

I didnt know that either. I thought the only file size restriction was that any file, not just .exe, couldnt be bigger than 4gb on a FAT32 filesystem. NTFS can up to 2 terabytes x file. Is that 2gb limit for .exes for all windows platforms?

Wow, you didn't know that? You must be buying some pretty ooooold and small games.

well before far cry, the biggest game I had was fallout tactics at 1.5gb

Wasnt ut2k4 2gb?

Ahh I meant the biggest game I had (I may not accept an unreal game for free much less buy one), not the biggest that GOG has. I think that title holder would be darkstar one, its a bit over 4GB

5? Wow, thats what I get for not looking at racing games I guess

Yeah, I have it and it sucks a lot of bandwidth.

Well its a racing game, it goes without saying that it sucks...

Ouch. I love this game, the visuals are amazing now, let alone 2006. I love a racing game without the stupid "bullet time" visuals you get when you drive to fast, and the damn bloom. Racing games like this are hard to find. And when it costs something like $14.99 on Steam, this is a bargain.

Well thats as may be but its still a racing game, I don't like it and therefore its got to be crap, otherwise I'd love it and since I don't the only logical conclusion is that is sucks.

Looks like now it's Obscure. So much for floppies. ;)
