Crysis...is this a bug?

BoomAM · 4 Jun 2011 at 21:01

Possible spoiler for people who havnt played Crysis....

Just got up on the deck of the air craft carrier with the TAC cannon, but it wont fire. I cant lock on, i cant do nout with it.
I can kill the wave after wave of the flying things with the missle launchers and gauss cannons, but i cannot see a way to use this TAC cannon.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

you can use it, not a bug but CANNOT tell you what its for, you'll find out soon enough, spoilers yah see

Yeah, you can't use it until you're prompted to.

I however did have a bug when I played it, my character would randomly fall through the floor into the sea, and I also couldn't pick up more rocket ammo, which made it bloody hard to finish! I managed it in the end though

There's a bug when you do get to use it though.

You lock and shoot but nothing happens when it hits. You have to restart and just hope it works next time :/

Ok.
So what the heck do i do, as the game seems to be at the point where its just throwing the flying things at you because im not dealing the main enemy on deck. Which i cant damage, or kill, or hurt.

So wtf do i do?

when you say the main enemy, you mean the big ship thing? and you got enemies running around trying to knock off your block off?

BoomAM yes this is a bug, ignore everyone who says it isn't

I had the same problem (unable to lock on) and had to restart the level.

Despite what people may say about "ur doin it rong" triggering the lock on sequence when the bug doesn't occur is pretty easy, so if you aren't getting it then it is almost certainly the same bug I had.

No, the enemy on the aircraft carriers deck with 4 large arms.

How far back into the level do i have to go?
Surely not the beginning of it? (bit of a trek!

This is really starting to annoy me now.
Just redone the entire level, got to the same bit, same bug!!!!!!!!!!

I had a problem that happened everytime I fought the 4 legged thing.

Ended up changing the settings to DX9 instead, and played through it without any crash after that.

Add " -dx9" to the end of the shortcut link to the game and give it a shot.

Dont it, and the final boss.

Ends a bit abruptly, still a lot of loose ends...

HangTime · 6 Jun 2011 at 21:46

Yeah not exactly worth playing through the level again is it

This bug annoyed me as I didn't play the game until 11 months after release, you played it what, 3.5 years after release, and they still haven't fixed this bug.
