thanks dude, the crossfire didn't work in leak demo (maybe it was my drivers) and in the Demo it was scaling like a bitch. I can't tell about the retail because I am still at work, hopefully everything will work out fine.

ATI should have a fix up soon... so if my fix doesnt work for you at least they'll get you sorted out.

Bah, install faster you!!! only at 47%

erixx · Mar 22, 2011

and my direct2drive download is not available yet!!!!

I understand "gamers in crysis" when after years of hype it is not perfect, but if the scenary of NY is okay, and sound and video is okay, its good enough for me! Crytek is always about tech demos, I never really liked SP or MP since Farcry, but still played it for the fix!

Crysis 2 doesnt seem all that bad. I will get it probably when Crytek releases a patch thats gives us more advanced options and when the DX11 patch is released

Bah my crossfire doesn't work even with the latest profile application, after the first scene my screen flashes so much i think i might have a shock.

I'll report back in a few

edit: flood their emails reporting this issue, there should be no excuse why we need a patch so soon and crossfire/sli problems

blah blah blah two video cards dont make you better at the game

HammerON · Mar 22, 2011

Tried to play with SLI enabled and it was unplayable. The game looks awesome but it would stop (freeze) for several seconds quite often. Here is what Afterburner shows though:

Only took one screenie so far:

Going to try and play with SLI disabled

Edit: Actually found that EVGA has an SLI Enhancement:
http://www.evga.com/articles/00463/Default.asp

Going to try it first. I am using a beta driver though...

2nd Edit:
Yep - the EVGA SLI Enhancement did the trick!!! No stuttering and good GPU usage according to Afterburner:

Now if I can just figure out how to get the frames per second to display... The old command doens't work

the leaked beta looked better than his screenshots, its just JPEG compression and too much motion blur.

Not only do we not know what he's running it on, but it's a different environment. Jungles will always look prettier really lol.

AphexDreamer · Mar 23, 2011

It always has me entering in my key when I go to multiplayer?

Anyone else have this?

Actually trying to play and it says serial code already in use wtf?

EDIT: Got it working this is how

Run ccleaner, do regular registry cleaning.

Launch game and enter serial number in lower case no dashes

Worked fine for me after that.

Athlon2K15 · Mar 23, 2011

it looks better on 360 than pc.make sure you guys kill all those little scarabs or whatever they are crawling around and walk into the fairy dust they create it gives you nanopoints so you can upgrade your suit

pantherx12 · Mar 23, 2011

Played first few levels on 360 earlier.

It's fun, but I won't be buying it until it's cheap.

It's just no Crysis 1. That's for sure.

Stealth mode is like god mode in this version, I stealth killed everything : /

The screen shot I took looks terrible versus what I was seeing in the game. The scenery is beautiful, shadows and lighting are great, and the movement of the trees and leaves is also well done.
I have played through Far Cry (original), Crysis and Crysis Warhead and believe that it is currently on par with the graphics of Crysis. If what I am seeing is while the settings are on DX9, then I can't wait to see what DX11 looks like when update!

I am still trying to figure out how to get the fps to show as r_displayinfo isn't working...

fraps? afterburner? TPU OSD?

HammerON · Mar 23, 2011

Yeah I know there are other apps I could use, but I want to see what DX version it is running and what memory it is using. The in-game command shows that...

I am going to use Afterburner though until I can
