I paid $60 for this and crytek is pretty much giving me a golden shower. I do feel though, that tyrant EA is behind this, but dang I hope this gets resolved soon. I' am a very unhappy customer at the moment :mad:

EA may be terrible, but that doesn't stop their other developers from producing ground breaking games. *cough* DICE *cough*

this is all on Crytek.

I hate EA from the moment I see and hear their "EEEE-AAAAAA GAAAAAAAAAMEEEEEEES" like it was a stupid base/football announcement. And "Esc" never kills it... lol

Anyways, Crysis SP is absolutely top class, really, my heart is still shocked from entering the impact zone :p

The update today targeted pirates and some cheats, the inf cloak while shooting is still everywhere as well as just about every other exploit you can imagine.

Why do i have a feeling i just wasted my money on a game no one is going to play because of the rampart cheating:banghead:

I don't think they've made any updates for cheating. They made some comment about doing something for the demo cheating by the time retail hit. Well it's past retail and there hasn't been a millimeter of progress here. Either they're not actually doing anything or they don't even understand how people are cheating. Well that or they built a game so wide open it can't be fixed. I mean the beta still being able to play with retail hints at some major design flaws. They need to talk to some of the xbox developers with more experience locking out and detecting cheaters. I'd bet bungie would be kind enough to give them some tips. Their anti-cheat and detection process is pretty sophisticated at this point.

Crytek is very economic on Patches. Crysis 1 went as far as 1.2.1 :shadedshu

Got it and installed it earlier. Gonna start playing it today. The screenshots make the game look amazing. I wonder how well my GTX470 will handle it though.

DO you think I'd get max quality @ 1920x1200?

your parts are equal if not better than mine and I am running it at the highest :)

Like someone said "I wanted my 470 screaming for a SLI brother" but it isn't, lol
In any case, this has all the looks and the best story ever made by the Cryboys...

i tried the script thing before the patch (first and last time i play c2 online) but it didn't work for me.

hoping for the rest of you who do play it online, crytek patches just released DO work. I play BLOPS online and even though there are some hackers, I have yet to see one on the same server since I started playing.

Here is what today's patch was about:

"Today we released the first of a number of security updates. Accounts that we have identified as exploiting an unfair advantage have been reset and if the activity persists, they will be banned permanently. If you find yourself being kicked, it is because our systems have detected that you are cheating. We will continue to update the anti-cheat software in Crysis 2 and strive for a cheat-free community."

I don't see why they would give cheaters a warning and not ban them automatically:(

Forget that. This is hardly the first multiplayer FPS that EA have published. Why not simply use the systems already deployed and proved out in their previous games? It looks like they're simply reinventing the wheel here.

I agree with simply resetting the accounts as a first measure. With a game so exploitable, you can hardly blame people for taking advantage of it while the opportunity lasts. Heck, I would have.

As long as FPS MP have been around you wouldn't think there wouldn't be any problem getting it right the first time. Just another disappointment among many others in regards to this game:(

I can't seem to log in at mycrysis any more. I think their servers are taking a big hit.

I can login in game though so they didn't ban me.

I just haven't been able to log in for the past hour.

Ok I made a post on how I thought all the bugs and stuff is a conspiracy and the block my account!
I can login with a different user name but not my original!

I'm so mad right now.

No!

I just made a post saying how I thought all this crap by Crytek was intentional.

Thats the last thread I made and now it says I'm logged in at the Home Section of the site but when I go to the fourms I just won't log me in, keeps telling me to sign in.

When I log out of it through the Home Section I can log in with a different account and view the forums again. Searching from old posts/threads of me and I can't find any.
:mad:

I sent a support thing to them with my other log in. I tried to send one not logged in at all and I get some Token failure error.

Finally got my hands on this game today. ( after my second playthrough of DA:O and being in the middle of Awakening campaign I just couldn't hold more RPG...and I still have that DA2 dusting on the shelf...which I havn't even touched meh). Aaanyway. So far it feels like your typical shooter with good but not best graphics around ( go Metro 2033 go! ^____^ ). Runs around 70ish to 120 fps on extreme settings ( havn't played around with that amazing tool for custom settings yet). Havn't tried 3d vision yet.

I still feel a bit dissapointed since there's no DX11 render, and Nvidia already deleted it from dx11 list of games which means pretty much that either Crytech screwed nvidia, or ea screwed nvidia, or nvidia screwed it's customers with fault ads.

My MSI 460 Cyclone @ Stock is giving 45-60 FPS on Extreme settings (1080P) using the Advanced Graphics Utility. :D
