I had a similar message once. I had to clean the disc and then try again.

Good point, I got Far Cry thinking it was the DVD version, but it was the CD version instead. It came with 5 discs, the DVD version I suspect will come with one.

I suppose he's just either impatient or stupid. Someone who asks other people instead of looking for help on the developer's website or contacting the developer is obviously an idiot.
