Do you think this BETA is worth 50 euros ???

Post » Fri Aug 06, 2010 6:23 pm

one thing is making a bad port...and other one is robbing us our money by selling BETAS of the game...apart of the thousands of bugs, you can′t even think to play with a friend because of continuous crashdowns on MP...u made us play the demo, you made a Fix Patch...and almost every server is broken...you all should be fired from any game-making company. U′d better not release ever a game in PC ... because PC gamers are not fools and we won′t forgive you for this. GIVE OUR MONEY BACK !!!!!

PD: I don′t even need to say nothing about Dx9....

PD: FROM NOW I ONLY WILL BUY BLIZZARD GAMES...EA AND CRYTEK ARE DEAD TO ME

This is actually a beta, you're right.. It's pitiful software. I could not even get the game to install because the executable was so ridden with DRM bullcrap, that my anti-virus software thought it was a Trojan and denied me access to it. Can you believe that...

And now the game is incapable of patching up to 1.1.. So no Multiplayer. Poor crossfire support. And completely lacking fundamental video settings for a PC video game. And I'm not even going into the poor state of affairs of how the multiplayer is running, because I can't even patch the game to play even one game of multiplayer. this is the first time In MANY MANY YEARS in PC gaming where I have bought a product and felt like I've thrown cash down the drain. This reminds of the days when you had to make boot disks to load a PC game in DOS. it's just time consuming trying to get this product to just work properly on a basic bottom level of functionality. Such as running/patching/joining games etc. It's a embarrassment for EA and Crytek to release a product like this.

If you have trouble installing, its a PC problem, not a Crytek problem. Be honest with yourself, and you'll know it to be true. If you choose to use cheap (free) anti-virus software there may be issues. I use Webroot's Antivirus with Spysweeper and it doesn't even hiccup during the install.

Connection problems can be a wide range of things. I cannot connect to EVE Online when I have certain DNS Servers specified in my Internet Connection configuration. (I found ones that did work well, not Eve's fault, maybe Comcast's fault somehow, or just bad luck) Ping, tracert, go to grc.com and use their tool to benchmark your DNS Servers and maybe use it to find faster (more better) ones.

Bugs: Indeed. I have already posted what i've experienced so i'll summarize - sometimes melee action is disabled after dying which can break the game sort of if you need to open a lock or kick a locked door to progress in the chapter. This can also cause you to miss out on some souvenirs (sp?) and unlockables b/c melee seems to work fine again after you reach the next checkpoint.

Some people experience issues with serials and codes, but that's more an issue of the backend of things and not directly the game and its creators.

As far as graphics goes, yeah it seems the game is very picky about which drivers you're using, and their configs/clockspeeds, etc. I had to just delete my ntune profiles found in users/acctname/appdata/local...etc and I was back in business.

Im running a Q6600 clocked between 3.0 and 3.6ghz (still finding optimal for gaming but Crysis 2 doesn't care if its 3.0 or 3.6ghz, as far as gaining any additional performance. I use 8gb ram, and a gtx 260 OC default clocks and a 1080p resolution. On high I get 60fps, on Higher I get 45fps, and on Extreme I get 30-33fps. I just started testing with extreme but it held up quite well during an intense firefight with 6-8 squids coming at me.

Ultimately, the game had it rough from the start due to all the hype. I still use Crysis to benchmark and the one thing you see on the screen always is a hand or two and a weapon. Honestly, in Crysis it looks a cameraman running around with a fake gun on the end of a stick. Use your imagination a lil. Crysis 2 looks awesome in that respect. You really feel that's a person's hands operating some nice weaponry. It feels alive and moves even when you are standing still. Not the flatness and death that appears in Crysis.

All in all, everyone's experiencing their own set of bugs or flaws, hopefully not all of them at once though it'll happen in the pc market, no matter what your creds are as developers. I believe if this game had any name other than Crysis 2 or Crysis-related, it would be received much better on these boards than it is, currently.

Let's hope for some awesome patches. I look at it this way. I'm playing the game in DX9 and enjoying it quite a bit once I ironed out my own PC issues. When its running in DX10 or DX11, to me, it'll feel like a whole new game/experience, and will (hopefully) only be even better.

1) I have a PERFECT running system. I have never had ANY trouble with games.
2) Europeans servers and almost all americans are BUGGED.
3) Take a look at EA′s Fifa 11 officlal forum...to see all the problems they use to create and unsolve. For example I lost my lvl 19 magicly.
4) This is because of PORT!


WHY CRYSIS 1 WAS MUCH BETTER ?!?!!!!!!!!!!

PD: We miss MESA !!!!!!
