Official Crysis Demo thread

Thanks, think I'll find a bigger gun and a smaller tree tomorrow..:D

Yeh it's fun.....I must have levelled a forest!

The explosions look great too. I chucked a frag at jeep and was very impressed :D

Theirs definitely some wow moments for me, and there's more to come with dx10 hopefully. I'm tempted to get vista and dual boot just to find out.
 
My game crashes after the opening cutscene. Says omething about the Koreans getting more than they bargained etc. and screen goes blank.

Apple should just take MS out of their Misery. I am not going pc ever again. Also looks like the graphics arent as good as promised and the performance requirements are much higher than Crytek boasted. :mad:

MS and co. further take pc gaming down the *******.


so you're buying a pc, for massively more expensive, for an OS that most games won't come out on, thats your solution? as for apple taking ms out of their misery, at a guess, the market is scewed in the about 999 pc's for every apple sold taking into account servers. taking just home computers probably 997 pc's for every apple.


if it doesn't run well on high for you, turn something down. people are so cut and dry, all high or all medium. its often overly used effects, or overly costly, in terms of power, effects that kill performance. turning down maybe, forgotten all the options already, say post processing to medium instead of high might yeild an almost identical picture quality wise, for much better performance.

its the first few hours really of the demo being out, people will mess about and work out which settings give best performance boost for least IQ drop. i'll go back to fear as an example again, soft shadows LOOKED CRAP, but killed performance. not every effect is great. hellgate's extreme texture setting is gonna use the distance focus effect so everything in the distance gets more blurred, but no one wants to play with it looking like that.

if medium settings look better than basically any other game on max settings, then who cares. frankly i think its easily the best looking game around, easily.
 
Ok oK just ran this @ 1280x1024 with settings high and 4xAA and its smooth!!!!!! well suprised. but cant get fraps to work, how are you guys checking fps?

tried very high and it was Sloooow lol
 
just played this with high settings and 1280x1024 and it was smooth, 'm impressed but how do i check fps ? fraps didnt show up.

tried very high but it was slooow!
 
Woah, that was awesome. First time I've really been impressed with a game for a good while (other than portal of course). It's the next step graphically, a new milestone, really impressive and a lot better than I thought it would be. Very cinematic and ran really well on Very High plus one or two notched down to high at 1680*???? (or something).

Will be buying this fo'sure.

Total Joke, with new drivers I have a MAX refresh Rate of 75HZ (CRT) even on my desktop, I could not get game to play, I got blank black screen.

Rolled back to previous betas, and game runs with my choosen HZ and advises me to set game to highest settings, I then try 1920x1440 and games like 3FPS, I lower to 1600x1200 its still laggy, and lower again to 1280x960, its still laggy.

I ended up having to run it at 1280x960 with Medium settings.

I aint sure if this game needs 4GB or RAM to play ideally with highest settings cause I did see a page file size msg at 1 time and I did get lag in F.E.A.R when it was new out on my high end current PC at that time until I went from 1GB to 2GB of RAM.

I aint sure if the new drivers are actually needed but no way can I run them with black screens and low HZ.

I have a feeling this game was another one of the recent overhyped ballsups.

Ive wasted 3 hours getting it running etc, think I rather go surf some Pr0n, more fun and less hastle.

looks nice mate im still downloading at the mo, crappy download speeds from bt u have to wait till the earlyhours of the morning for a decent speed
 
Well the recomended settings at a res of 1900x1200 where all very high, and it ran smothly (no aa) dont know fps will do so with fraps tomorrow, and with aa.

spec

Q6600 @2.4 4gb ram 8800ultra
 
Hmm see I no longer have my 4GB of RAM, and 2 peeps above are running it better than me and both are on 4GB RAM.

Anyone know if the new drivers are a MUST to run this game in Vista64 (ie are the older ones far slower).

cheers mate would like to see how ** setup compares since u got 8800GTS and 2GB hoping ** CPU is at 3-3.1ghz

get fraps so u can check fps.

need sleep now got work 2moro...i mean today lmao
 
got it running and i was only getting 8fps, surely something wrong there thats with the new beta drives and xp 32 bit, card and cpu at stock:confused:
 
bah, i can't even try this. sound stutters like crazy even on the menu. looks like i might have to install xp. :mad: (currently have vista32/audigy2)

very bad here mate picked optimal settings in the menu, got 18 fps,recent demos ive played, eg cod4 average 70fps and upto150fps in parts, maye this is still an ealry beta release, tbh i wasnt that interested in crysis till a few weeks ago. but its kinda got my attention now
