Hmm, finally finished downloading Crysis Wars, and now it says that my email is invalid (or password) when I try to create an account?

Are there restrictions on what email accounts can be used? I tried a gmail and a personal .org one to no success.

You have to log in with your gamespy account first... confused me for a bit too.

they should have made more internal sections in the game, the mine level was buttery smooth no matter how high i pushed the settings!

Oh, I don't think I have one of those... hmm, I'll have to go check.

Edit: now its saying that an account is tied to every email I have....

Word. Can you imagine how good a game like HL1 would be on this engine? I'm all for jungle etc like in Far Cry but Warhead is just corridor jungle... you don't even get to explore which kinda defeats the point imo :S.

Welll obviously I realise any game on the cryengine would look the ****. My point which u seem to have overlooked was that the HL1 level design would play awesome in a crysis game, as demonstrated by the mine level. Jungles are boring when you can't stray more than 20 feet from the predetermined pathway.

wtf?

I thought the loads times on Crysis and Warhead were excellent...

and it doesn't take 1.5 mins to load a level - FIX YOUR PC!

OK, OK, I exagerate. Maybe 45 seconds but it takes as long for the game to start and also to reset the graphics settings.

Talking of graphics. Can anyone tell me which settings stress CPU more heavily than GPU. This game is obviously very GPU dependant and my graphics card isn't state of the art anymore so I was wondering what settings to use to make more use of the CPU and RAM without overly stressing the graphics card?

I didnt overlook anything. (refrains from using rolleyes)

Just the openess and ability to explore would be amazing for an adventure game like zelda

Just got to the end and having flash backs to the original. I tred on DX10 and it ran like a pig.

Switched to XP and DX9 and it run on full with only the occasional slow down. Much improved from the first on performance. A bit light on actual story though, seemed like the first one all over again.

Or are the stories supposed to run side by side?

The box you are transporting is the one Psycho is sat next to when, as nomad in Crysis, you first get to the ship near the end of the game. The alien comes alive by draining the power from the ship. They run side by side.

The only time i have noticed wierd textures and graphical errors is when i have been playing around with the graphics settings then carrying on without restarting the game,crysis deffo needs a reset if you change the settings..

Yeah tried restarting, it'll be ok for a bit then they start to appear again. Its odd.

This particular scene was hard-hitting.

I wasn't expecting something like that.

I haven't finished the game yet but so far it's turning out to be a bit of a masterpiece.

Windle · 21 Sep 2008 at 21:24

Anyone getting random CTD in Crysis Wars?

londonbairn · 21 Sep 2008 at 21:39

I have to say, the graphics in this are incredible...the final scene before credits looks jaw dropping, it looks real!

The only graphical glitches I have seen is sometimes a turtle on the beach for example suddenly popups, but other than that, looks great.

For whatever reason i cant connect to crysis wars, every server seems to time out and in the console i get the following:

net_pb_sv_enable false
