Entering the cd key all in lower case fixed the issue.
Also, looks like SLI is not working, as of the latest NVidia drivers. I'd apply the Crysis 2 demo profiles to the game if I knew how.
My 2x GTX 570 is getting 45-60fps in Skyline (maxed settings @ 1080p), which is about half of what I was getting in the demo with SLI.

hmm with all this praise I might cave and buy it on Steam by the end of the week
edit: but Dragon Age 2 already has been on sale wow I dunno if Crysis 2 was $50 this would be easy but the $60 price point might keep me on the fence until a sale

Well... I guess that this game deserves a revised OP. BADLY.
Crytek proved almost everybody wrong.

Good to hear, the lowercase CD key thing should probably go in the OP. Also, people had been mentioning that dual cards were messed up, so you may be out of luck there until a patch.TheExodu5 said:
By the way, did Crytek ever release any patches for Crysis or Warhead on Steam? Or patches for free that could be applied to the Steam version?

If you go by the current ps3 leaderboards, a disappointing 16,000 have only logged on. The game really is solid so here's hoping most people are just playing singleplayer instead of not buying it entirely.

Oh ffs.
Got the game from Steam, installed, ran it. MyCrysis logon doesn't work in game (had same issue with the goddamn demo, was never able to logon properly), yet works fine on the site. Gave up after several attempts and skipped just so I can be able to try the goddamn game that I paid $60 for, first scene loads -- no character models are visible at all.
Come on.

Is nobody playing online on the PS3 or is the matchmaking still screwed up?
I got in fast this afternoon, but now I'm getting dumped in lobbies with 3 people in them.

Why are you so obsessed with the OP? Its days old. Let it be. Whether people were proven wrong or not, its freaking one post that nobody will even read after the release of the game.

Yes, everyone is enjoying the open level design and DX11.
It's weird that the frame rate is better in some areas that actually look better than the areas the frame rate wasn't as good. They only real complaint graphically I have is that in the beginning they decided to not even remotely try to use decent textures on things like door alarms. They look atrocious and stood out like a sore thumb not like they are things you can make look incredible.

I agree. I think we should leave it up as a monument to hysteria and overreaction.LovingSteam said:

No need to overreact. I'm just so satisfied and amazed with the game, whenever the absence of DX11 or the console roots are problems for others or not, that I think that it deserved a better OP (though the current one is undeniably pretty clever).LovingSteam said:
C'mon, let's be friends and kill each other in some Crysis 2 MP mayhem.
Just 2 shots of the early game:
No tweaks applied yet. I'm not sure how to turn use proper AA instead of the temporal AA, but it's late and I don't want to get into that yet.
Haven't had a single drop below 60fps yet, so hopefully the performance holds up. The game looks pretty good in motion, though I do find the lighting overly bloomy and the whole image does have a pretty blurry quality to it. I might try tweaking it a bit tomorrow.

I'm also playing on veteran and had the same sentiment when I died; that it was purely my fault. I love it. If you allow yourself to get sprayed for a few seconds in the open you're done, that's it. It really makes you tackle the objectives in all sorts of ways.~Kinggi~ said:
And yeah, the areas are big and open. Laughable comment from that guy who said it's as closed in and linear as KZ2. Perhaps trying to compensate for his joke OP that backfired. I mean just look at the first few areas... right when you step out into the open that entire area is there for you to wander around and then when you go to the next section through the gates it doesn't get closed off, you can go back all the way to beginning. Then when you hit the city it's just awesome. Yes, there are corridors spliced between certain sections but the best description overall would be Halo-sized levels on steroids with an added vertical aspect.

Thanks Crytek. The one multiplayer mode I'm interested in playing (Assault) is unlocked at level 18. Guess I won't be playing that at all. Awesome!

Wow, that's just sad. You're in the tiny minority with your opinions, to say the least.MickeyKnox said:
That's even sadder. Wtf? I hope the MP demo didn't turn people off that much. 16,000 is really bad. Are you sure that's not the max you can see?Rated-Rsuperstar said:
First impressions are good. I think I take back my words on the lighting being too bloomy...it ends up working really well in motion. The game feels more polished than the first Crysis, and as a result ends up looking better, even though it might not look quite as good in screenshots.
I do have issues with the default PC controls. Obviously, the mouse controls suck unless you force off acceleration through launch commands (or the config file). Crouch is a toggle, and iron-sights are not. I need to fix that.
I'm only very early on, but it seems as though you definitely have some flexibility when it comes to encounters. Things seem semi-open so far. The map size may not be as big as the original game, but I don't think it takes that much away from it.
I will say one thing though: the game is ridiculously easy thus far compared to the original. It could just be that the difficulty ramps up, but the original game definitely required you to play it smart from the very beginning.

TheExodu5: You can change the zoom toggle in the options under Game. No crouch option though
Try it on Veteran by the way

Yep, they're all locked except for deathmatch and team deathmatch. Truly a WTF moment for me. Level 18 would take me forever to get so I'm just not going to bother.Nekrono said:
Fortunately, the SP is excellent so far.
Thumbs way up so far. Combat doesn't really feel dumbed down at all (at least on the hardest difficulty) minus the inability to go prone or lean at will. At least the built in cover system compensates for the leaning mostly.
The game is also *gorgeous*, all the bitching from the demo thread feels petty and stupid now cause fuck me this is a stunner.
