On the official Ubisoft forums, Far Cry 2's community developer Atmon has released a Ubisoft statement regarding Far Cry 2's first patch (1.01) for PC as well as an upcoming patch the dev team is currently working on:
"We know that a lot of you were really happy to see how quickly we came up with our first patch, but at the same time, some of you were disappointed because many of the major issues you reported to us in your feedback were not in. As some of you may already know, we have a video Q&A going on with the dev. For us it’s a way to maintain dialog between you and the team that created the game, but it doesn’t mean that we will not provide any information about our upcoming updates. As we already told you, the 1.01 PC patch was our first step, and thanks to your contributions we can now tell you what kind of improvements you could expect from our upcoming patch."
The list of issues and improvements to be featured in the upcoming patch is as follows:
General - Allow player to select display mode for Widescreen view in the display options - Improve server list with filter options (ping, punkbuster, server name, maps, game mode, dedicated server…)
Multiplayer - Allow match search from the maps leaderboard - Add minimum players setting in host options - Order scoreboard by point - Add an option to set respawn time for the host - Show VIP on scoreboard - Allow PC user to use Clan tag - IP display in the lobby server
Server - Add new functions to dedicated server - Allow the same server to host more than one game at a time
Atmon lets us know that we can expect this patch in a matter of weeks and that we can expect more fixes and improvements not yet listed in the overview above. So for now hang in tight!

Yesterday Ubisoft have released a press statement, congratulating themselves for reaching a million copies of Far Cry 2 saled well within a month after it's release:
"The holiday quarter is off to a solid start with the successful launch of Far Cry 2,” said Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer at Ubisoft. "The game is well on track to achieve our expectations for the year."
Let's just hope some of the money made will be invested in some solid after sale care for customers, especially with regard to singeplayer issues on the consoles and multiplayer issues on PC.
