Crysis experimentings

Vegeta said:
Anyone else get the issues nights seens are ridiculously dark with real lifesis installed? Like I can't see a thing! Except the odd bit of light and gun lasers.

Dunno if it should be like that. But that's realistic! In the pitch black of night, you can't see a thing! The mod actually makes you make use of the night vision feature

Also how do you know if the real lifesis TOD is working? The instructions are unclear:


I put it in the 'levels' folder but cannot see any changes in game other than the critically reduced FPS. I will try the high-res foliage MOD but honestly I think I'm going to go back to vanilla Very High Crysis as it runs smooth (40 - 46 FPS) and is still the best looking game I've ever seen.

I think the instructions are wrong on reallifesis. You need to install it via the sandbox editor, as it says in the instructions. All you've done is a move a .tod file into your levels folder, that doesn't actually install it. So your drop in fps cannot be down to reallifesis

Also, use the config that came with it :)

Wow I really see what you mean about the 'high resolution foliage' pack. That looks absolutely beautiful - that's exactly what I was looking for. I don't want mods that change the gameplay or are too fiddly and messy to set up, I just wanted some bonus eye candy - that foliage looks really sweet. I think I'll email the guy who made that and tell him how great his work is.

The foliage looks so much better now. No performance drop either :D

These are actually light pics. As you can see you see the light from the fires etc clearly but if you look away theres nothings. No fun really. I take the MOD off for these parts but prefer to fix it if it is a issue or is the MOD just meant this way?

Hiya mate, sorry I can't see your pictures atm, I will endeavour to take a look at some point though.

first question, are you completely sure that the mod has installed properly? Do you get a 'depth of field' blur effect when playing?

Also a lot of the time, you need to be stealthy. Use cloak mode, and night vision. Remember that in real life, in the pitch black, when there's no artificial lights around, it's very dark with only the light of the moon to guide you at all.
 
Vegeta said:
Yeah I has the DEF blur. I know what you're saying but i'd rather play the game the way it's meant to be played than just play in a blacked out screen using cloak and night vision to get around in the dark.

That's fair enough, completely down to personal preference :)

What do you think of the mod in daytime scenes?

sorry for the complete noob questions here, but im just after a little advice on what would be best for me. on the demo of crysis i get ~28-30FPS at best with everything on very high and AA on x8. my resolution is 1360x768. it can easily drop to below 25 FPS when im fighting.

i played the full game for about 2 minutes and my framerate was complete poo, so im updating to see if i get any improvement with version 1.21

i am planning on getting the high def foliage mod along with the extreme quality config to help that framerate go up a bit.

first question is, where can i download these (is crymod working yet or will i need to look elsewhere). 2nd question is do you recommend i get any other mod?
Click to expand...


I'm not sure when crymod will be back up unfortunately. In terms of your performance, take the AA off. Pretty much all custom configs will use 'r_useedgeaa 2' anyway. Remember that you need to update to 1.2 before you update to 1.21.

If you find that after you use the hi res foliage mod and a config that you have a few fps to spare, I'd recommend trying to get a new TOD, such a RealLifesis.

I'm sure there was a link to hi res foliage on here actually, I'll look for it :)

ugh, this is going from bad to worse.

i've done what the install instructions tell me to do, but now the textures for some of the rocks are dissapearing. i am now in a very bad mood, and tempted to trade this thing in if i cant get it working

as for CPU and GPU, check my sig ;)
Click to expand...

Sorry, I failed. Yeah, you should be able to run very high at that res.

Yeah, I found that sometimes the rock textures did not load. But after a couple of play-throughs, the issue went away for me. Try playing it for a while and see if it still happens.
 
That's odd mate, I've never experienced any of these problems. I'll upload another config to try if you want?

EDIT: are you using the foliage mod, or have you taken that off?

sorry but what is "experimentings" :D
Click to expand...

Dunno if you're aware, when you get calls from Indians trying to sell you broadband "hello sir, would you like faster internet providings!"
I've picked up the habit of adding an 'ings' onto lots of words.

eg: "Are we going to the match"
"yes we are, I have the ticketings right here!"

Reaper 392 said:
experimenting more than once?

btw, fixed the lack of rear wheels. it was because i was using a game save from before updating it to V1.2
Click to expand...

Good to hear mate. So what mods/configs are you running right now?
 
Reaper 392 said:
*edit*
has anyone made an 'absolute maximum' config, or is that just very high with full AA?
Click to expand...

That config I gave you is supposed to be better looking than very high. Most very high configs out there take the detail a little higher than very high with better frames. There's one called CCC config which has different 'levels', on level 6 (the highest) I get around 25-30fps.

http://www.incrysis.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=23117

There's not really such thing as a maximum config config, because some of the variables are 'unlimited'. eg: I was playing with a gtx 480 and an i7, I set the shadow texture size to 8192, and my fps was around 3-4, with a max of 8.

Damn those shadows looked good though.
 
I'm going to be trying Crysis out with a whole load of new tods now. Real Lifesis is certainly the best for playing the game in my opinion, but I'm looking to get some new awesome screenshots, without Real Lifesis :D

bump to get this back on the first page. if anyone knows the answer to my questions i would be very interested to know.

however, warhead seems to be running a lot nicer on very high (enthusiast) than normal crysis
Click to expand...

Hiya mate, sorry missed your post! The config should work on warhead.

Here are the warhead patches:

patch one:

patch five:
http://www.incrysis.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=792&Itemid=2

And I think that the option to change the voice should be in the settings menu.

Has anyone got a link to the Extreme Quality Mod please?
Click to expand...

It's actually changed significantly. It's now called the extreme immersive mod:

I ran the reallifesis installler after the install mcafee deleted three exe files as trojans, do I need those three exe's for it to work or is it fine without them.
Click to expand...

Have you tried playing the game, has the mod installed properly? The reallifesis installer is old, and people just use the standalone tod file now anyway
