Ah ha ha, unlucky. I can play it 25-30fps on my rig at 1280x1024, which is a more physically demanding resolution than yours. Playing it all on High with some ultra tweaks enabled.
It plays just marginally faster in single player depending on whats going on 1-2fps in quiet beach areas and 4-5fps faster in hectic snowy areas. Level editor seems to have gone up from between 25-30 to 30-35 so quite a good increase really.
Has definitely smoothed out my multiplayer. (along with mp bug fixes) No lag spikes during 2 hours of MP last night.
No problems installing the patch either.
E6600 @ 3.2ghz
2GB Ram
XP 32bit
Geforce 8600GTS (I know I know...pondering whether to get an 8800GT or wait till new cards arrive)
Running 800x600 custom config (sorta inbetween med and high settings)

Simply saying the repercussions of this are going to be massive, more failed promises from Crytek and EA. There is going to be hell on. Take my advice and put your tin hat on.
I'm not surprised. Just glad COD4 and TF2 will keep me going until they fix Crysis (say sometime around Christmas 2008).
Well I have to say I'm happy so far with it.
The benchmark score was only up 2 fps, but I've been on a few multiplayer maps and they are a lot smoother. It seems to have got rid of the lag spikes which I used to get. Playing the Beach harbor map was always the worst because of all the water, but its fine now.
Also the AA tank finally works without blowing yourself up.
Just need to get more people to play online, its a lot of fun.
Using the 169.25 vista 64, and the 64bit crysis.
OK I thought the muptiplayer had potential but it was just unplayable before. I'll give it a go. Does look like it could be good with enough people.

That sounds quite childish over a game that you only have a problem with because you can't run it maxed out on current hardware.
I don't really get all the fuss with this game to be honest. I don't think it's badly coded, they've just made a game that is too far advanced for current hardware. Why people seem to take offense to this, I really don't understand.

They have made the new gaming benchmark, just like Farcry at the time iirc.
Coding houses need to push barriers else we would never progress.
Cant say I noticed much difference in my single player game.
Everything V.High 1440x900 res, still runs at around 24 FPS, more than playable and great looking in single player
, favourite game of 2007.

don't waste your time with very high settings, they offer little visual improvement, custom configs are what makes it look spectacular, HDR and such looks better than very high any day of the week, and runs better too

To be honest...

no, i think one of the BF2 patches is more deserving of that. man, some of those were so bad.

I notice a fair bit of difference between the settings.
I have not really played with the config much, looks too complicated
Maybe I should.

I dont see how that works considering I get about those FPS with a higher clocked 6750(3.64Ghz), an X1900XT@665/830 and 2GB [email protected], on medium/high@1280x1024.

main thing i notice with setting changes to crysis are the light/shadow effects, apart from that not much else is different

Nah man... To be honest, i just found it boring. Really short... I know there is going to be a follow on, but its just too short and boring. I thought the player would have to go in and out of the ice world loads of times etc... All of the videos and screenies made it seem WAY bigger than it actually is.
Drop shadows to medium. Seriously this gave me a large noticable improvement without a noticable hit on image quality (that I could tell)
Isn't the QX6850 clocked the same as the X6800? Considering crysis doesn't seem to care much for multi core processors they should run the same.

Does anyone else seem to now have a game that crashes a lot at checkpoints since the patch? cause guess what...
I tell you right now what crysis' biggest flaw was, it was the fact it was made and marketed at a demographic of gamers who expect the world and moan when they dont get a stick for it to go on.
Pc gamers seem to be the most fickle and ungrateful gamers to stalk the internet, which incidentally gives this demographic a voice which try as u might, cannot be ignored and only spreads like some horrible game of chinese whispers.
If you can honestly say you sat and watched all those crysis videos and though "yup, that will run at full whack on my rig" then im sorry, you got what you deserved.
And furthermore, those who thought a 100mb patch would make it go from crawl to lightspeed, again, if thats how you think im not going to help you.
I swear more gamers would enjoy games if they didnt act like they where owed something all the times, saying things like this...
i mean why? specially that last statement? it reminds me if the little spindly kid everyone had at school who leapt around a fight like a tasmanian devil, getting everyone all riled up, then skulking off when the teacher arrived, you actually get a kick out of thinking this is all going belly up dont you? you find it easier to just give it two fingers and almost hope it fails, i mean, heaven forbid you eject the cynycism and just be more optimistic, just not "the way" is it.
This whole situation just puts a magnifying glass over the fanboy nature of the pc community, everyone acts as if every pc game has to be gods gift, but then rip it apart, what really makes my head spin is how everyone will then moan when games then become console only ater the devlopers recieve nothing but venom from pc owners.
Sorry to go on this rant, im not trying to upset anyone, it just bothers me such a small thing recieves such venom from people that think they know better then they actually do.
Its just a crying shame and a waste of good conversation
Stay groovy guys.
