Official Crysis Demo thread

those who have played the crysis demo, is it a better game than cod4?

i like to have a health bar and to be able to switch weapons quickly. I also hate the way there is no use key to open doors and jumping is a little cumbersome.

Crysis leaked.

Remove post if needed, there's no links to anything on that website it's just .nfo's with serials removed.

Hmmm

How come it has 0 hits?

Considering it is a TWIMTBP game and one if not the biggest release this year I best be seeing at least 50% increased performance from SLI in the full game.

Dunno I only checked nforce because I couldn't link the other site since it lists illegal downloads.

I just felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of video cards cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced...

Do you just make notepad file, name it system.cfg, add those lines and place it in the game directory, so the demos would be, C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis SP Demo ?

silversurfer · 11 Nov 2007 at 14:34

Yep, you can just copy and paste it if you like. I tried it out and its pretty good, 25fps on a 8600gts 760p

Thats the bit thats confusing me as altho I got it working o.k its the GFX card ram bit that doesn't make sense, 1gb 2gb 4gb? lol

g_useProfile = 1
r_ShadersAsyncCompiling = 1
r_driver = "Dx9" *makes no difference unless u have DX10 gfx card under Vista
net_wmi_check_interval=0
r_VSync=1 *change to "0" or "1"
r_height = 720 *change this to the HEIGHT of the resolution you want to force
r_width = 1280 *change this to the WIDTH of the resolution you want to force
r_displayinfo = 1 * if you want to see your FPS and stuff(it is in in my ScreenShots)
sys_budget_videomem = 1024 *change this to you GFX card ram size in MB 1GB=1024 2GB=2048 4gb=4096
sys_budget_sysmem = 1536 *change this to your system ram size in MB
r_MultiGPU = 1 *change this to "0" if you DO NOT have SLI
r_GeomInstancing = 1 * helps with ram managing vegeatation

where do I put this config?

and is it just creating a text file, renaming it to "autoexec.cfg" ?

cut & paste the one in the CCC file & put it in / game /config,open in wordpad & alter to suit your setup , I didn't rename anything but it works for me with sunrays etc.

I've played the demos for both games and I thought Crysis was funner/better than COD4.

ok thanks.

so I just add the autoexec to that folder, I edit it to make it for my system, and thats it?

which part is supposed to have the sunrays? I cant find them anywhere.

He's talking about a map created in the sandbox editor, it's not been hacked at all.

You set all the settings ingame to low/ go to game/config / CVarGroups & delete
all in there then copy & paste & replace with either med or high from the CCC files & all should be well

Quick question: Will I benefit from 2GB's extra RAM (to give 4 in total) when playing crysis (and for general system performance)? as Im on vista, which is pretty resource hungry.
