This DX11 thing is becoming more and more a joke. Two generations of DX11 capable cards and no game yet that clearly takes advantage on this. Or maybe I'm wrong? In the end I'm glad I still did not waste any money on an upgrade. I bet Crysis 2 will never have a DX11 patch. Live with it and enjoy a beautiful (I think the best looking DX9 out there) and fun game that is Crysis 2.
it can get worse if Miscrosoft release DX12 with WIndows 8

Meh, DX10 was a joke too. Until consoles are upgraded, expect mediocrity.

(dx11)

i know for sure dx 11 f12010 dirt 2 prob 3 and many other games bfbc2 inc that are better then when in dx10 mode.. i too tho pray this is not the way, nv n crytek deal making cant be good..

For some reason I thought that BFBC2 and Dirt 2 were either DX9 or DX11...that DX10 wasn't a mode option. Never played F1. None-the-less, BFBC2 admits that it uses it for soft shadows and performance enhancements...in other words, smooth shadow edges is all I noticed going from 9 to 11 in BC2. I love BC2 don't get me wrong, but DX11 was and never should be a reason to get it or hype it. Dirt 2 is a solid looking racer, and I know it was one of the early DX11 adopters, but I can't recall what it really does beyond DX9. But I do know that AvP 2010 at least gives you a tesselation option for DX11 that can really wreak havok on performance.

I never really got into Crysis 1 or Warhead, I got both again on the recent Steam X-mas sale...just snagged Crysis 2 for around $30, I've yet to try it at this point. Though Crysis will always go down as a technological/graphical beast of a title more-so than a gameplay title. Was Crysis ahead of it's time or the last of it's kind? Or both? Really, it's amazing what dev's can still pull out of DX9, and yes Consoles are a big blame there I'm sure, but at the same time, if the gameplay to graphics ratio can come to a 1:1 more-so than one great and one crap, I'll be more tempted to make a purchase. Too many games need hype and multi-platform to make money because they won't work hard enough to offer something that could take off on a single platform to make up the difference...that is why I spend more and more of my time and game funds supporting PC Indie Dev's. Not all to-PC ports are straight garbage, not all only-for-PC games are amazing..gotta find what you can and can't tolerate, just sucks when you sink 60 bucks (FU BLOPS!!!!!).

I think most DX11 games are Eithier DX9 or DX11.

You don't get an option for DX10.

But there is a dx10.ll file in Crysis 2 folder. I tried renaming it to the dx9.dll to trick it but the game just wouldn't launch.

Also people who got the Disc version say that it has DX11 dlls on it.

So its only a matter of time.

Hope not to long.

DX11 has fallback for DX10 hardware. if you run DX11 in AVP, DA2 and probably many others (i think its done this way in BC2, but more transparently) then it runs the DX11 path, but disables features DX10 cards cant run.

Does the full game support CrossFire properly now? I remember CrossFire/SLi was bugged out in the demo and didn't see any performance gain. Has this been resolved?

My apologies. Here's hoping 11.3 cats brings some relief (although I'm not holding my breath).

I was hoping the same but no such thing yet. It's really strange that we are so late in the month and drivers still aren't released. There is no specific need but i know that latest drivers bring slight improvements for the latest games. Which Crysis 2 certainly is.

Yes, nearly finished dis game, the check point system sucks dick:banghead: and I've encountered some minor issues like missing textures and graphics, I see a floating tree in the air and an invisible tree trunk, plus some sound effects are missing from my suit, its not making any noises:confused:, not a big deal but still gay:laugh: SP is ok most of the SP game, sometimes it has its fun moments, but like I said before, this game feels completely disconnected from the first series and I get a sense of "what side am I on, why am I killing soldiers/corp mercs when there's an alien invasion happening" this game feels more corporationy then an alien invasion:cry: also this game needs more illuminati symbolism:laugh::laugh::laugh: but jokes aside including the game....ooooohhhh SNAP! :D nah seriously I would say this game iz a corporationy, sci fi, consolized action game, with a slow story:toast:..MP here we come:rockout:

Do you regret getting the game with the minor issues? You have any crashes? I'm looking into getting the game but pondering if it's worth it.

It's ok, but personally i think Crytek doesn't deserve any of the cash from it. If it was a prioper PC version, absolutelly. But now, on one end it's an ok game but on the other all the console nonsense is bothering me. I've bought it but still there is that bitter taste you just can't get rid off...

Nah those minor issues don't ruin the game at all, just thought I should mention it:toast: and the game being $70 AUD here via steam definitely didn't feel worth it but for some reason I don't regret buying it at all, I guess I just don't care for money:laugh: but anyways, if I were you, I would wait for the price to come down or maybe buy if from somewhere cheaper:toast:

As an owner of cyrsis 2 and homefront I can easily say crysis 2 is a more polished game, which is also a lot less frustrating. Don't get me wrong homefront is a decent shooter, but it has a lot of issues which make it feel unpolished compared with crysis 2.

This is the first time i played any game on the hardest possible level right away and it seems a bit easy. Maybe it will change later on but right now, cloak, kill, hide, recharge, cloak, kill, hide, recharge... Silenced SCARAB with reflex sight. I'm like a deadly shadow moving through the NYC :D

JrRacinFan, if you liked the first Crysis and then Warhead then you will certainly like this one. Yes, the PC community was betrayed but the game looks and plays very good no major problems whatsoever (I have Steam version). Fire it up and you're ready to rock. If it is worth it moneywise?
I have been waiting more than 3 years for the sequel so I had to buy Crysis 2 on launch and I'm not dissapointed by the game itself.

Finally got on the online late last night after some sc2. Was trying to get my account to login which had the preorder bonus code on it. Found it hard to get in a game lobby and have it start too.

But after all that its good fun. Certainly a challenge. I've only tried TDM and Crash site. I like crash site more right now.

I think it goes more like this:

1 = Low
2 = Medium
3 = High

3 is where you want to be at.

Crysis v crysis 2 texture comparison. Nice HDR and bloom effects, shame about the rest of the game. Crysis 2 is one big ugly blur, it may look half decent on a 360 from 6 feet away sitting on the couch, on a high res monitor from a few inches away it looks like turd.

I think it goes more like this:

1 = Low
2 = Medium
3 = High

3 is where you want to be at.

ok i figured it went like that, but setting it to 4 or 5 does nothing then?
