Here’s a supposed fix from one of the message boards…can’t vouch for it myself…
“Somebody probably solved this already. Anyway here’s the fix for that black screen windowed when you first load the game. Go in your (user)\Documents\My Games\Far Cry 2 folder and open up GamerProfile.xml.
Find (Maximized=“1”) change it to a 0 and save. Problem solved almost. Now load game and go to options and change dx9 to dx10 and accept then quit game. load game and go back to options and change your resolution to what ever you like then accept and play. Now the 180.42 drivers work great!
PS:I could not enable dx10 and change the resolution at the same time because game would go back to that black window mode.”
