Faulty Crysis Disk

Well, i received my new disk from (Nearly posted where!) and it makes the dodgy clicking noises when it first spins up and then plays the game fine, so im happy. However, the installer for Crysis completely failed to put and shortcuts on my desktop, and nothing in my start bar. Why oh why?

You running vista?

If so then it doesn't it puts it in game folder only.

Nope. Nothing there. Only ever the microsoft ones. Its done this with quite a few games. Such as Sup Com and Bioshock. Other games are fine, it puts them under the manufacturer.

Try going to the crysis directory and make a shortcut of the exe fiel and put that in the games folder.

Sounds like your looking in the games folder in the All Programs section, open the Games manager folder which is on the right hand side under the Documents, Pictures etc.

Quite a few games for Vista only place shortcuts here.
