Official Crysis Demo thread

[Mint_Sauce]

Hmmm seems the sandbox editor is really pretty worthless. I can't apply textures to my terrain layers or anything?

Anyone making maps in this?

To apply textures you need to create the layers to paint. It's pretty straight forward, you select a material type and a texture and then you can paint straight on to your ground.

I know this'll get lost in here, but it seems like the best place for it. While busy doing other things I let my games box run the Crysis benchmark repeatedly to test performance. The only thing I forgot to mention in the picture is that I'm running XP, so no dx10 complications... well, not until I apply the cfg hack.

Basically, if you want higher FPS, lose the fsaa and lower the resolution. Earth shaking conclusion, eh?

Try it with a 360 pad people. what do u think

Biggest flaw is that you can't change the control layout. The controls are absolutely awful.

I got a message after installing the demo that I needed a Microsoft patch and the installer sent me to the right update page where I could download it after WGA checking, I guess this is what Mint_Sauce is talking about

Did it not say about installing it when you installed the deno.

it had mass storage in the title. thats all I can remember.

 

[Mint_Sauce]

yeah, that's all I can remember also - that's why I was a bit vague. If you didn't know what I was talking about then it's probably something you need to install!

EDIT: Just been looking around for it but can't find it now. I do remember it being on a page of tweaks (the link to the ms page) and think it was in this thread somewhere also!

I think this is what we require for this game to run properly and the new 9x series cards!

Edit : Yeah I forgot the link.

Just played the demo and I have to say I like it

Definite Far Cry feel to it, had a nice memorable moment when I using the jeeps machine gun to fire open a group of soldiers hiding in a cluster of trees, 1 of them tried to hide, but during the fire fight I managed to cut down 1 of the tree and it fell square on this head

1 thing I liked over Far Cry is that the soldiers don't have ninja senses, it was a pain trying to sneak up on anybody in Far Cry.
Nothing like a satisfying cloak & choke

Was quite disappointed when the game recommended low settings for my rig, prehaps my 7800 isn't cutting the mustard anymore.
Still very playable on low, but I decided to look at the other settings.

Medium - Now we're talking, game looked great, but the drop of FPS in fire fights was too much to make it playable.

High -

If you ever need an excuse to upgrade, this is it. I can only imagine what very high looks like.

I've been an inital naysayer of this game, worrying that it's all graphics and little substance, but this has just gone on my pre-order list.

Thanks for that post, I will install the demo on my XP partition, use these files and compare it to the Vista experience.

 

[DEL 707]

Heh I know what they look like

Playing it on your own machine is another matter.

The only niggle is the crappiness of the AI. Hope they sort that out.

Have you played it using the Delta difficulty setting?

 

[Sherm]

Are the files availiable to download anywhere else? not downloading from there for me.

 

[FirebarUK]

Have you played it using the Delta difficulty setting?

Nope. Is that supposed to fix the issues with soldiers standing still whilst you shoot them and generally running around aimlessly and not even looking for cover etc?

Yup i followed that tut, all i have is an all white default texture, it doesn't apply the green tex when you create the terrain. I think there something wrong with the editors install

everybody saying this is easy?......I keep getting slaughtered when you got to disable that radar thingy and its only on normal
