You have to press V for that
Also I know people have random framdrops with SMAA but I even get them with FXAA so I assume that the Anti-Aliasing option itself is a bit buggy right now.AllIsOneIsNone

I believe most playlists will work like this now. And yes, I do think the positives outweigh the negatives.
Ah, my mistake.
Yes there is, although I haven't used it yet so I'm not sure what it is.

Is there a spot button in this game?

Anyone oping out of using KB + Mouse?
Using my 360 controller and it feels great! I don't usually play FPS on PC because I hate using KB and Mouse combo. I was getting plenty of kills and feels like a console IMO.
There needs to be more of this, I love the idea of connecting my PC to an HDTV and doing my gaming from the comfort of my living room.

I don't think there is a spot button sadly
And I'm not sure that FXAA works for me either but I lose 2fps when activating it so _something_ must be happening

I tried that with Crysis 2 and while the movement probably feels better I got destroyed because of the aiming.

Try it and post what you think. Felt good to me!
Because the Matrix is telling us that we're robots and our eyes are cameras. I thought something was terribly wrong with my game but no it was apparently CA, I managed to uninstall the game before trying to disabling it in the console.
The mouse lag is garbage. Really off putting. Some performance numbers from me:
i7 2600k @ 4.6ghz
16gb ram
2x 3gb 580 running at stock clocks 832mhz
2560x1600 resolution
With the game set to the betas highest settings (very high), and AA maxed at 8x MSAA.. I got 25 fps. Dropping it down to 4x MSAA improved it to 30-35. Smaa settings gets it to 55-60fps.

Because for some stupid reason Crytek wanted a filmic/cinematic look for C3. Hence also the lens flares, grain etc.
Luckily you can disable the filmic stuff via menus and with console commands.
Well it does make more sense trying to emulate a camera than a eye when you use a 16:9 screen...
If the same shit is still present in the VR-future it will be a reason to complain.
You can remove it in the beta? If so, do you know the command?

I updated the drivers today to the beta ones. I recommend you do too since it's a nearly guaranteed performance increase on the game and:
fxaa - Works for me, fastest AA method for this game.
msaa - Working too, heavier AA option.
txaa - Working, heavier AA option on par with MSAA.
smaa - Working, I guess the dips are from the heavy particles, the best solution in terms of looks/performance, generally 6-10fps faster than TXAA/MSAA.
Again, this is my experince.
Something like r_chromaticabberation 0
just type r_chr and hit tab and it'll probably pop up. If not I'll sacrifice myself to the God of your choosing.
Sweet will try when I get home. U da man (if it works)!
I actually don't mind lens flare or the blur. That chromatic aberration has got to go tho. Dunno what they were thinking.

That doesn't stop it from being almost tear worthy. I'm very serious when I say I can't go back to console lower res IQ and blurred out FXAA as it makes my eyes water a little.

I'm getting some weird dithering. The sharpening makes it even worse. Which setting fixes that?
-bakalhau-
Member
Where's the dithering happening?
Open console and type r_sharpening 0 to disable sharpening.
Are you playing in 'high'? If yes, open console and type
r_ssao 0
r_ssdo 2
to avoid dithering. And use smaax1.

I think chromatic aberration looks pretty nice in the distance, or like in Crysis, when you are under fire.
SSDO is activated in the very high setting ?
Yes. Type in console "sys_spec_shading ?" (without quotes) to see shaders cvars values for every preset.
Many thanks, how come you don't work at Crytek ? I heard many talented modders were hired along the years.

amazing.. with my GTX 680 i was getting 28-35 FPS on Very High so i turned off VSync and i am at 60 FPS
Played some more. Yeah Hunter is pretty fantastic. I feel like when it's all said and done, Crysis 3 multiplayer won't be a graveyard like Crysis 2 all because people will still be playing Hunter. The mode is pretty addicting.
Whoever pushed for that idea in Multi needs a promotion (I know it's not a new concept, but it works very well in Crysis 3 with the bow and all).

you do the prestige mode once you reach level 10 (I forget what it's called but it's in the main multiplayer menu).
Great new addition to the game. A tip: you can change arrow types during a match (just like you can change attachments for a gun). I forget what the default key is because i mapped it to my mouse.
Thanks! I need that bow.
I played Hunter mode for an hour or so this morning, and after the infuriating first 20 minutes of disconnects and unfinished matches, I had a pretty good time playing it. It is indeed fun to kill people with the shield, and shooting the bow feels so much better than using the assault rifles. I had a lot more fun playing Hunter than Crash Site.
Movement speed perk is OP, people just dont know what is going on. I've just got 15/0 with just silenced pistol on Airport Crash Site and fraps'ed it
Shadows Very High option is bugged, dont use it. Airport doesnt have caustics and caustic are only available on lvl 4 of Water setting. Shading and Object takes up most of fps from what i've tested and in Shading its mostly due to SSDO. Very High setting on most options isnt noticable, except for Shading and Water [due to Caustics], Very High Object Detail helps, but its not a drastic change like from 2 to 3.
Ps. Playing without a hud is the only option for this game, so much better.

*Edit* Fixed it, just needed a restart.
Open console and write hud_hide 1
yeah, and if everyone went out and got hit by car there'd be no need for a paralympics.

Just tried to play this on PC. Every time I try to connect to a server, I get to around 99 percent loaded and then the game completely crashes. I tried googling it and apparently many people have the same problem but I can't find a fix.

- Go to an alien node in crash site.
- Grab a shield and go into stealth mode.
- Hide and wait for the poor fellow that will try to capture it.
- BAM! shield to the face.

But I think hunter mode is more fun.

Same here, worst of all is that I don't get any kind of error information, you know, to report the bug, since it's a beta.
Edit: repairing the install fixed it for me. Right click the game icon > Repair install.

Honestly, I feel bad for writing this but, I have rescinded my interest in this game.
Awful shooting mechanics, hit detection and general feel of the game made me dislike it more than Crysis 2 (which I loved but grew tired of). On top of that the graphics feel out of place given Halo 4 and others in the console space.
:/ Sad. I was super excited about the game too.

GTX670 Windforce here on an older i7-920 @ 1920x1200.
Went with 4x SMAA
Game Effects - Very High
Objects - Very High
Particles - Very High
Post-Processing - High
Shading - High
Shadows - High
Water - Very High
AF - 16x
Texture Filtering - Very High
Motion Blur - Low
Lens Flares - Yes
47-57fps about 90% of the time. 60fps+ when in tunnels. All with my normal Windows apps open. So for those interested in a 670 on an older i7, there you have it.

If anyone's interested, I have an i5-2500 and a GTX570.
I entered an empty server to test some settings, and in Crash Site, with everything on max but SSAO = 0, SMAA TX2 and No Colorgrading I get 45/50.
Are DX11 effects disabled? At least, looks like there's no tesseletion on water.

Need help. I don't see 1920x1080 in my resolution options on here.
I can choose it for any other game. My card is a GTX 550 TI 1GB.
Same thing happens in Crysis 1. Only way I can choose it is by putting "-dx9" in the target field.
I only see 720p, and three downsampled resolutions I created. Those look great but it taxes the system. 1080P would be ideal for me but I can't choose it.

Well I tried this from Crysis 2 but it didn't seem to help
Code:
i_mouse_accel = 0
i_mouse_accel_max = 0
i_mouse_smooth = 0
i_mouse_buffered = 0
i_mouse_inertia = 0
