CryEngine2 has stopped working

[lunarwolf]

Hi all

Crysis demo crashes when launched under Vista Premium 64bit => CryEngine2 has stopped working

I have downloaded the demo twice from 2 different sites (nvidia and EA), no difference. Tried launching DX9 and DX10 - still does not work

I am using latest nvidia beta driver

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Cheers

ok found a way around it. I rolled back driver 163.71, yet not convinced this is necessary.

Thx for hints. However, this demo does not work on my Vista x64. so go to your explorer and go to crysis folder directly => bin 32 folder and right click exe file and launch as admin - then it works. not sure if it is DX 10

I ran it 1600x1080 res everything on very high AA at x4 with decent frame rate (except when driving fast gets a bit choppy). not sure exactly since I do not know the console command

hope this helps others

Drunkmaster, you have asked the million dollar question indeed. I would have thought that after close to a year Nvidia would have resolved their issue. Unfortunately this is not likely anytime soon In fact I do not even understand their websites SLI Zone, games and SLI certification when it makes no difference
