Crysis 3 Alpha

Well this is a load of crud.....

Does not seem to support crossfire as my 2nd gpu is switched off when playing.

Looks ok graphically but runs like **** on second highest settings, seems to grind to a halt if you turn around too fast sometimes as well.
 
The performance difference between High and Very High is substantial.

On Very High I get like 15-20 FPS.

High - 45-60 FPS (although mostly averaging at 50ish FPS)

Sapphire 7850 2 GB, overclocked
i7 920 3.8 Ghz
12 GB RAM
w7 64 bit
1680x1050
 
Sorry guys but only clowns judge a game and damn it after alpha mp code on one map. I honestly shake my head at people moaning about the performance.

Performance for me has been inconsistent. Some games I have been in the 30-40fps bracket, and others 45-50fps. All with very high detail, at 1080p. My system is a 3570k @ 4.4 and MSI 7970 Lightning @ 1150/1500. As always tends to be the case optimisation comes towards the end of development so I expect to see this improve.
 
Whilst I would also say the same about not judging a game in alpha stages and any software for that matter, this is an EA game therefore this probably is the final release, only expect performance and a few bug fixes :p It was the exact same for the beta and final crysis 2 game.

Pretty much, betwen crysis 2 multi-player test and the final version performance didn't change that much from what i can recall. Same thing for the crysis 1 demo and the final game, all crytek could do for the last few months of development was say "we're optomising" but really not much changed (couple of patches before it got totally abandoned). You'd think for a multiplayer "test" they'd have something that ran a bit better, apparently shadows and reflections are causing a lot of the frame rate issues with the game freezing for several seconds at a time.

Still gonna snag it for sp, was never much of a fan of the mp, crysis 2 mp seemed like cod with clunkier movement.

To be fair it's just a clone of crysis 2 with a few tweaks but with worse performance and clunkier controls.

I will say they are doing work already on results from the alpha though as I was crashing a lot when I first played it but last night there was a patch and I haven't crashed since.
 
Just had a quick go... On max settings at 1080p, was averaging 20fps... guess will get better as it gets optimized and drivers are sorted though. Thats with Crossfire 6950s

i had same problem, this killed my 7970 20 fps max utter garbage of a game.
 
was happy playing the alpha but since the patch for it, once ive joined a server and the map is about to load .exe crashes.. anyone else getting this problem?

Just had a quick go this morning. Playing in the Quick match, got killed twice but when it loads up again, all I get is a black screen and voices. Have to restart PC to exit, same thing happened when I played last night, yet I played for a few hours Friday morning no problems. Although I can only play this on medium settings for smooth play.
Not really that bothered as I don`t play online anyway, just thought I would have a look, out of curiosity.

Yup also had that problem sometimes with them as well but there were times whenever you enter a new zone/area and next thing you hear the guys saying "he's over there" and they start firing to where I am (can see this using that unlock which shows bullet trails) and this was behind a big metal gate :confused:

And especially when you went underground to flank them, you hear them saying "he is in the sewers" and throw grenades down despite moving slowly with cloak on...


But yeah it seemed so random half the time, spot you no matter where you are or they just are so slow and stupid like this:

yea plus also; just being fussy:-

1...cloak goes off when he fires, plus goes off when he's hit, a bit annoying

2....game needs more humour, it's a bit characterless, especially after Borderlands..it's too dull in comparison

3...considering his suit and all the hype over it, it's still pretty Krap, it gets all these upgrades throughout the game but you notice no difference at the end in comparison to the beginning

4...too similar to War of the Worlds, it's a direct rip off

5...the Crysis community/Crytek aren't very friendly, they're Aloof and distant

Noticed a couple of new features which will no doubt be in the singleplayer and not just the multiplayer:

* Ability to pickup large items (like ripping plaques off the wall) and throwing them.

* Doing a ground slam after you jump.

Nope, was in C2 :p

Crysis 3's new feature ability to pickup large items probably won't get me to buy the game.
