So I had built up 10k catalysts last night and I start the game today and it's been re-set to ZERO?? WTF... and now when I kill bad guys it just stays at Zero?

I hear this is ANOTHER common problem??? HOW **** BUG LADEN IS THIS GAME? WTF?

This is perhaps WORSE than the flickering problem that I've had because this actually can ruin the gameplay experience... how am I supposed to upgrade my suit now if I'm picking up catalysts from enemies and it's not counting them? FFS

I have this problem too. I know Crytek knows about this too, but that doesn't really make me feel better. It's been a *LONG* time since I've played a game I paid full retail for that had a bug such as this, the kind that totally drained all my desire to keep on playing, that WASN'T fixed within 48 hours of the release of said game. Most PC game bugs I encounter are of the kind that are mostly hidden in the machinations of some complex skill, or are relatively painless in the grand scheme of things. However...

Crytek is awarded zero bonus points for allowing such a glaring, OBVIOUS bug to make it to the release build. I played Fallout New Vegas last year, and had to eat bugs so awful I thought I was stuck in an episode of Fear Factor. Joe Rogan was making snide comments about my fear of eating live bugs, I swear! I digress. In F:NV, there were some painful save bugs that made me replay whole sections more than once, which sort of burnt me out prematurely on parts of the game, but the game still functioned on that basic level, ya know??? I could spend my money and confidently reload my crashed saves knowing I would have the same amount of dollars as I had when the game *actually* managed to save. SHOCKER! I know I'm kind of weird, but I think there are many a gamer who feel exactly the same way I do about how we deal with bugs in games.

Maybe we'll get lucky and there will be a patch to this within a *week* of release. Is that too much to ask? I want to assume Crytek is working around the clock to fix this.

Maximum Game? More like Maximum Lame right now. (I know, witty!)

p.s. I remember CryTom asking to list what version we're have... just remembered. Win 7 64-bit, Steam version.

Well, i do have this same problem, but that was after i completed the game and started another. I do have my nanosuit powers that i've bought, but after i kill an alien and grabs it's nano catalyst i get nothing

Same here... First playthrough came around nicely, only few issues with nano catalyst, eg. registering 70 instead of 100 on pickup for few times. But on second playthrough game isn't registering them at all. Killed few ceph grunts and collected NC they left behind, and in upgrade menu I still have 0 NCs! This game needs serious patching, and not just SP.

same finished once no probs now i cant collect any, and there is barely any servers i can play on with less then 300 ping that actually start

I have the same issue. But I am on my first playthrough. I was at about 10k when they returned to 0. And now after I collect some of them, the counter is still to 0.

same problem
i have only 200, but last map i have collect 600
Where is my nano c. ?
Please hurry the fix, we are very angry
And fix the login problem, beacause my reedem code is in a non working account :S
I can't use my reedem extras :S
a never buy and more EA games :S

I also loose my nano catalyst after i exit the game. Is there a cheat to add the points manually?

This is a major gamebreaking bug (which was supposedly introduced with patch 1.1) that needs 2b fixed ASAP (besides not working LE content, resetting MP stats and login probs (browser related)).
So yep: MAXIMUM LAME

same thing happens to me. i'm trying to save for the 8k skills because all the cheap ones are stupid but it keeps reseting back to zero =[

I am sure this is not a bug, but a feature.
Just like the nerfed suit and the strange new upgrade system for weapons, which makes it impossible to attach a scope to the silenced SCAR, this is supposed to improve the gameplay experience. We are just to dumb to get it.

Happened to me too, few minutes later I got all the catalysts I had gathere so just keep playing.

Yea, now it doesn't allow me to collect any nano catalysts and i still have one more suit unlock to go

Juts finished the game and I'm missing like 4-5 suit unlocks
