Apparently. I'm mystified as to why they release this update now if it won't work without 1.9.

Seems like an awful desperate move on their part.

they said it was for a "test environment"

Well, sounds like the test failed.

The whole crysis 2 is "failed". This should have been 4 months ago, I just hope is does add a lot to the game for the people who payed top dollar for this. I'd like to try out single play but I'm not shelling out $60 and that's IF this patch does bring the game up to standard. But at least they didn't just ditch the support as fast as they ditched the updates for Crysis/Warhead.

 

[RejZoR]

Now i'll have to DL close to 10GB of data of something that should be in the game in the first place. Sigh. Since i have a retail version i'll have to burn several DVD's in order to store all this.
Plus i finished the game with DX9 on hardest level so there is little replay value left. Especially since it's so linear that you can't exactly play it any other way...

It's a joke.

Hackers still pillage this game. Crytek is a phail.

And on the more important note:

Crysis 2 DX11 released, but nobody cares anymore!

Had they stopped PC support, I would have said

"good luck trying to sell crysis 3 to PC gamers)

The two patches put together are only about 2 GB in size. For some reason the sizes mentioned on techpowerup are utterly wrong. Should I go ahead and download these files so that I can play it on Monday as soon as 1.9 releases, or are the files posted on techpowerup going to be different from Crytek's official files?

 

[RejZoR]

If the files are digitally signed i'd say they are the final thing.

Well you can always try and beat it with just using ground stomp lol

I had played this game for just over 10 hours and my hard drive died. I was looking forward to this so called dx11 patch. I don't plan to re-play this game though. enought time was spent

hard drives don't die out of nothing

maybe the circuity was faulty, so ship it back to maintenance for the replacement, if you want to get data back.




You should already had a month of bad sectors, failed windows boots, HDD errors , as well as SMART alerts, etc ...

You should have noticed HDD was going to die weeks before playing Crysis 2.

Btw, that's why i always buy the best brands and lines of HDDs , currently with WD1001FAEX

meh probably should have backed up my stuff. I was considering formatting it anyway sine the machine had been acting slow/sluggish, I guess that was the signs of the dying drive.
My other storagae drive is A okay thoug.. same brand. I'm planning to get a ssd later today and maybe, just maybe, I can find a save from where i was at...

I was at the part where the giant spore creature thing just came out of the ground.
Edit: I'm at walk in the park.

So if someone is at that section, please send me your save it's in C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Saved Games\Crysis2\SaveGames

Lol Creytek fail. Yes the makers of the most demanding and impressive games in the pc industry are fail.

Crysis 2 dx 11.. It's not released until the 27th and I care very much, thank you.. According to this thread, it looks like a whole lot of other people care as well....
I don't just play a game once and throw it away. I play it multiple times and now I have a whole new reason to play it again. I call that longevity.

My m8 ran it on a single GTX460 OC edition at full HD and he got around 40FPS, is that what your getting?

im only runnin on a 1280 x 1024 native res, on some scenes with less physics/ activity, i get mostly ~50-60+ FPS going ~80-99% GPU usage, but during some scenes where's theres plenty o goin on, it drops to 25-30FPS, GPU usage also drops to around 30-40%. Im assuming its because im severely CPU bottlenecked hehehe.
(mine is the SE version btw, not the vanilla nor 768MB version)
