Crysis = Unplayable

SK07 · 2 Dec 2007 at 16:28

Absolutely struggling to even play this, it was okay before but now (im at the school level) it's unplayable, it just lags consantly and freezes all of the time so in a combat scenes it's like watching a security camera, freeze lag can't even play it. Put all settings to medium and it's still the same. Specs:

Geforce 7900 GTO 512MB
2GB Corsair
3.4GHZ P4 X2
2x250GB HD's

I even defragged the drive but still the same crap, I guess I'll try putting it on all low and seeing if it still does it.

Lame, well whats most dire and needs to be upgraded because im not made of money...

It's for overall. I upgraded not long ago, it's kinda annoying all this upgrading for the PC, maybe thats why im swaying towards a console instead.

No AA enabled. I run it on XP Home.

Uhm running it at 1280x1024, suppose I could lower it then.

Im on 163.75 drivers.

Funny how COD 4 runs maxed with no lag or issues yet this acts like a pain in the arse yet COD 4's graphics are pretty damn good imo.

for me running E6750 at 3.2ghz and x1900xt i can run it fine (25 - 40fps) at 1680x1050 with all on medium and post processing on high, looks rather good. So i'm confident with a new video card it will be really nice.

Theres nothing wrong with my gfx card...

This is rubbish though, I put it on all low and it's still all laggy :mad:

Try those.

Be sure to completely remove your current drivers, using driver cleaner maybe.

And have you done any of my others suggestions?

See when I first got it and started playing it, I was playing on med/highs fine but now it's seems to have degraded itself so I can't even play on lows with low resolution...

About to do scans for adware etc... doubt anything will come up though.
