Crysis 2 leaked almost 50 days early

[The Witcher]

There ya go you fucking pirates. I hope every one of you torrent sucking Neanderthals die a slow painful death. You keep giving them excuse after excuse to stop developing top tier games for the PC then bitch about DRM. I almost wish all developers scrap PC gaming and you are left playing fucking Pac-Man with a 500 dollar GPU.

Chill pill ?

Seriously, I'm sick of this, in the end we are all humans which are controlled by desires, it's their mistake for being incompetent in protecting their stuff.

It's like putting your hands up in the air while grabbing a fish, in front of a whole group of hungry seagulls then expecting them not to snatch that fish from your hand. You got what I mean ?

Yeah I get you're defending theft. I mean your Arab. Didn't you used to cut the hands off people who stole fish?

......ok, I guess you need a whole pack of chill pills.

That was offending :shadedshu

EDIT: I'm neutral, I'm just stating the fact that it's their mistake because the game was leaked by one of their employees.

Well my point is stealing is wrong. Just because you find a car in someone else's driveway with then engine running does not give you the right to take it and say the owner deserved it.

As for the Arab thing depending on your heritage its historically correct. I could name million things wrong with my heritage as well. Hell we used to hang people for stealing horses. The point is no matter where you're from stealing should be dealt with swiftly and harshly.

How would you like it if you busted your ass on something for months or even years and someone came along and took it without paying for it. Or even gave you a choice in the matter? Thats pirating and in the end the only ones that get hurt are gamers. If you a neutral in this then you better take a hard look at yourself and decide what you want in the future. A world with cutting edge technology or a world with the status quo console port.

there's a workaround already for it hanging on different settings. it has profiles for low, medium, and high. if you can deal with the shit performance and glitches then a huge chunk of the game is basically playable right now.


also press f to toast.

no thanks. i need performance!

 

[TheMailMan78]

Just to let everyone know I am reporting anyone talking about how to get this game to run or how to find it etc.

 

[erocker]

This thread has outlived its usefulness. I'm not sure it was ever useful to begin with.

 

[Easy Rhino]

I am reopening this thread so people can discuss the developments of this story. Please be civil. Don't make me into an ass for reopening it.

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Thanks as that was my intent. Though as I told erocker in PM I did kind of regret posting this as I should have known it would just encourage more piracy even though the story is all over the net.

it would be a shame if at a site like techpowerup we couldnt discuss such this hilariously awesome story without giving out links to actually download the bastard.

pro tip: use the PM system for that.

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Indeed. Though not everyone is aware their PMs arent totally P, for the record.

why they say pc only pirated ??? here all xbox running pirated games and managed to play online too+why only blaming pc and ps3 already hacked out and sony cant do a thing about it unlike xbox u need to pay monthly fee to play online,so what's the deal they can make online impossible with pirated copies like bad company 2 and they should expect that much of sales ,bad company pc sales almost=xbox and their players online always more than that of xbox and playstation the only way to fight piracy is to have good really good multiplayer that urges people to buy it that's it

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Agreed, "piracy" shouldn't automatically equate "PC".

 

[W1zzard]

look guys, you can talk about the game, the leak, how it affects the industry, hardware requirements, and even tweaks for it.

you can also talk about how it ran on your system but if the lawyers come with a court order i'll give them your ip.

please don't talk about where to get the download and similar, i'm sure you are mature enough to understand whats bad in this context. if this approach doesn't work we will just change our forum policy to "no piracy at all, not even talk about it" and everybody loses

sooo .. i think it's possible to enable directx 11 in crysis 2 by renaming the dx11 render dll to the dx9 one.

based on the crysis 1 filenaming it should be something like rename cryrenderd3d9.dll to cryrenderd3d11.dll (dont forget to make backups)

 

[horik]

Here in Spain they fight piracy with a new law that becomes effective in march,i believe they will close all sites that you can download software and movies from,but only those located in Spain.We need to support the industry if we want to play great games.

I'm on wireless, so I've got a dynamic IP. And if I really wanted to I've (for some time) written a script that changes my IP, my MAC, and clears my DNS cache.

Of course, I'm not doing anything to attract lawyers, but I just like pointing out the pointlessness of giving up IP addresses whenever I can.

Hah, you say this and also tell us we can't say if it's working or not? Aw.

This is one of the most boring things anyone ever anywhere can say on the internet.

 

[Nailezs]

thx to Easy Rhino and W1zzard(sorry erocker, no offense). i was disappointed to see that this closed.

this might be a newb question, but does it clear your external ip to your modem? evne if it does, doesnt the ip get logged by the isp?

Hah, you say this and also tell us we can't say if it's working or not? Aw.

wiz stated previously that he googled the file list. i dont think he would put his giant website in jeapardy by downloading the game and publicly posting about it.



i was going to state this before the thread got closed, but we do need to keep the talk of where/how to get it off the thread and forum. im surprised the mods let that go on for so long(even though it was general and not specific) w/o saying anything.

now, that said, i am interested in reading about how it plays and how much hardware it demands in comparison to crysis 1

 

[Phxprovost]

Anyone find out how this got leaked yet?

I actually read about people trying that as I was rather anxious to see some screen comparisons of DX9 & DX11. Unfortunately I heard that renaming the renderer files made the game run in a window and crash when loading levels.

(I'm not posting a source for this comment because it was a Russian forum that had inappropriate ads and links.)

Release notes were in Russian/Polish. Kreij proposed that it was leaked by someone at EA instead of Crytek, which I think sounds reasonable. Still I'm just speculating though...

 

[Grnfinger]

I love how the holy rollers always come out to preach on the piracy subject.
Must be hard to stand among us common folk, you must have your skeletons hidden deep in your closets

 

[hellrazor]

Look in crysis2\Tools\TorrentTools. Weird, huh?

EDIT:
I propose that this was "leaked" with quotes.

 

[W1zzard]

I'm on wireless, so I've got a dynamic IP

whoever gives you that ip records the time, the ip and who got it

 

[hellrazor]

any whoever gives you that ip records the time, the ip and who got it

Not my address/name, the MAC, which I can change.

 

[W1zzard]

verizon does that of course like any other isp on the planet. they have to just in case you are a terrorist

when you dial in, you somehow identify to verizon, they look in a database and check if you paid your bills and are a valid customer and are not logged in already, if everything is ok, it saves your customer id or something similar along with something like "connected at <date time>, using <ip>"
