Wow guys, I feel a lot better now that I know it's normal. I was turning paranoid because I though it was my GPU or something. I was inspecting the textures in TF2 and everything. :lol

I got rid of the HP config and tried this one out. I think I like it better, it's a bit subtle but my performance and framerate don't seem to take a huge hit like it did with HP's. I'm averaging 10-18fps higher with this one compared to HP's, so I'll probably stick to just using this for now.
ok so I just got my new rig today, intel quad core 2.4, 4GB RAM, and an 8800GTS
Now it doesnt seem right that I have to run crysis on almost all medium settings, no AA, and at lower than my screens native res (I think I have it at like 1200something x 1050 right now)
I downloaded the patch, updated windows ... what else can i do?

Heres the deal, u gotta mix and match with Crysis...Shadows @ med, Objects @ med, if thats not good enough ull see a huuge boost with Textures @ med or ur other option would be post processing @ med. Try it.
Anyone else stuck on the "Recovery" level? I met the hostage, killed the tanks, but the mission doesn't proceed. I've tried walking back and forth across the bridge, I even did the secondary objective (log-in to KPA network--which also didn't register as complete when I used the computer).
Do I have to reload a save? If so, how far back must I reload?

The first couple times I played through the mission, I had no issues, but on my most recent playthrough on Delta the mission had the same glitch. I met the hostage, killed the tanks, and then followed the waypoint to the spot marked up in the woods (where it claims I'm to meet with Prophet). However, upon reaching the waypoint, you'll find that there is nothing there.LiveWire said:
I remember reading that you could also mess up that level by doing the hostage thing in reverse or something (going to the school first).
I also ran into a bug with a mission a bit later on where you have to take out a copter to proceed, but the helicopter is miles above the level. Eventually, after messing around with reloading my save, the copter just fell out of the sky and I had to swim down into the depths of the ocean to dispatch it.
I suppose these things are to be expected in such an open ended yet cinematic game.

Try some commands.Naruto said:
e_view_dist_ratio_vegetation [#]
That pretty much get's rid of the plant pop in.
e_view_dist_ratio [#]
That helps with any object draw distance.
e_view_dist_custom_ratio [#]
That helps with enemy and vehicle draw distance.
But before all of this you have to allow your console to complete multiple commands.
Enter:
con_restricted 0
Then feel free to mess with anything.
BTW the VTOL is friggin' annoying to control, let alone kill things with.

I've been working through Crysis on Delta and loving it. It's really a better experience and I wish I would have tackled it on this difficultly to start out. It's not too unforgiving, but it really makes you sit back and scout things out and try to look for the best infiltration methods. I've been places I totally missed last time out because I was able to take on a dozen KPA troops in one go.

yeah I was gettin ready to tackle the game on Delta....
That map looks awesome urk...
I've just reinstalled the game as I'm planning on doing a playthrough on a higher difficulty myself, is there a "best" config these days for awesome visuals + decent performance? I still have HP Config 1.3 Final, I don't know if something better has been released since then...
I am on a Q6600, 4gb ram, 8800 ultra, but my monitor's native res is 1920x1200, suffice to say I want to keep awesome visuals, but running at that res is pretty costly in performance.
CFG suggestions would be nice.

Crysis looks so incredible. Granted I have to play it on my 1280x1024 monitor (syncmaster 172x if anyone is curious) to get consistent performance on High custom configs, but it's worth it. Crysis also has deep gameplay - turn on Delta mode and it becomes a whole new ball game. I see lots of Crysis talk everywhere and 99% of it is either about graphics or hardware. I don't think Delta mode with all its stealthy gameplay and tactical options available to the player get enough attention or credit. You go into an enemy camp with your tactical attachment and cameo, and you will end up with great satisfaction. I dislike it when people go 'oh tech demo'. There is a surprisingly good game behind the lustre.
Wise from you gwave!
Man.
I'm in a forest with my cloak at 20 percent hoping the last of the squads pass by. They do, and I'm thankful, but suddenly I spot a straggler and my cloak gives out. I watch my energy bar rise, but it was too slow, and he started getting suspicious and walking toward me. No rounds left in any of my weapons, I decide to risk it all and use whatever energy I had to max speed + jump at and grab him before he could finish yelling an alarm. We decide to have a little chat in the bushes...
That's not the only time I had to make such a rash decision; this game is full of do-or-die moments, and I haven't even made it a quarter of the way through yet. I'm loving it.

I think it's the most impressive video of the game I've seen to date.

I wonder why behind doors and if this is the version shown, this is likely the platform lead.
Agent Icebeezy said:
Probably still very early and not for public consumption. And we know straight from the source that Crytek has been working on PS3 content for some time now, so I don't know that we can expect them to just port any of their titles cross platform at all.
Alright bitches, Patch 1.2 is here.
http://www.crymod.com/filebase.php?fileid=1073&lim=0
Enormous list of changes, and it's a whooping 361 MB.
Mwahahaha!

Great! I'll have to download it when I get home.
And speed mode actually now has a purpose:lol
edit: checked out the link, that is one massive patch
Alright, finished the game for the first time some minutes ago.
I was playing on Delta and had a blast. Until i got to the
that is.
Is it just me or is the first half of the game, stalking through the jungle and fighting koreans just much more fun than vehicle sections and blue squids?
And the game looks freaking amazing. Played it on a Q6600 with a 8800Gt and 4gigs of ram on a 64bit vista system with DX9. Had everything on high and had acceptable framerates.
Looking forward tot he sequel!

BeeDog said:What the fuck, didn't notice that. So they have essentially made the game easier.
Yup. There were a lot of complaints about KPA soaking up bullets. I assume this is to address that.
I always found it odd to see people complain about Crysis' difficulty level. I find it pretty lenient, even on Delta, though it was always odd to pump a soldier full of rounds and have him stay on his feet.
urk said:
I enjoy the threat and challenge of the AI in terms of grouping, crowing, and their communication between each other.
What I still don't like is how on Delta, at least to me, you're essentially helpless when fighting a large group of enemies at close range. The enemy's level of awareness seems to have DIRECT correlation with how much damage it takes to kill them, which in my mind, is silly.
I can hit a guy in the head with a single bullet from far away and he'll die, as long as he isn't aware of me. But if I miss him on my first shot for whatever reason, he'll become aware of me, and subsequent shots to the head will just cause him to go "augh" "ooh" "augh" "ow" until he dies on the 6th bullet.
Hopefully this helps alleviate that.

I beat Crysis on delta for the first time last month and I gotta say this is definitely the best fps of 2007.
Its not just the graphics but the overall layout of the enemies, open-sandbox environments, and the way the enemies attack you is awesome.
The new patch makes me want to play the game again.

Theres nothing like being hunted by the kpa wearing nanosuits. I just hope part 2 has more human combat than alien.

Got me a 8800GT this week.
HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT.
Not reading the thread because I'm not done with my first playthrough yet, but I just have to voice my enthusiasm here. Screens and videos do not do this game justice at all. And the graphics are just one part of the equation, the game absolutely excels in almost all other areas. This game is just brilliant brilliant brilliant. Damn, if I had played this earlier this would've been above all other FPSs in my GOTY 2007 list. Heads and shoulders.
Damn, this baby is intense.

pretty much the same experience...
I have a dell xps 1530 laptop with 4 gig ram... and the game runs on mostly on high settings, with shadows and physics on medium...it looks stunning and runs well. Also, the is probably one, if not the best, fps Ive ever played...and I've recently being playing bioshock and HL2...gameplay and graphics in this game have raised the genre
I am at the point where you the world has frozen, but I dont feel like continuing. I am surprised that the story has not grabbed me. I feel that I am just running around doing the same crap. vehicles so far have not been so much fun due to the lack of terrain to use them.
I might just suck but the only way that I can win is by covering small amounts of ground at a time, using stealth and just picking them off one by one... and then run away, and use invisible again, and so on.
I can see the variety but.. I dont know. I am really surprised that I am not more into it.
I also think its a bit spooky. many of the sound effect scares the crap out of me, and now all my teammates are gone.
