Crysis 2 leaked almost 50 days early

[erocker]

I don't think there is a problem with their security externally as rumors have told that a disgruntled employee released it... probably someone who got sacked.

EA/Crytek secretly leaked it so they can justify higher prices. Makes sense to me.

 

[cdawall]

it looks very pretty....

 

[RadeonProVega]

Its the same thing with windows 7 , we got a early beta release by MS, and well that didn't work out too bad. Windows 7 sold what billions already?

 

[Mr McC]

I reckon they're simply beta-testing too.

 

[Over_Lord]

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

isn't working for me......

 

[cdawall]

considering its "console port"

playing it at 1400x1050 max settings not really to terribly glitchy...

 

[KainXS]

are you serious

 

[cdawall]

are you serious

average 25FPS "HARDCORE" settings
average 34FPS "AVERAGE" settings
have not tried "GAMER" settings

of course the beta will run like crap, its not finished and not optimised - and AMD and nvidia will release performance boosting drivers soon enough.

*cough* IT PLAYED WELL *cough* haha

 

[cdawall]

get 62 FPS on hardcore.

its capped at 62FPS


edit dont you go editing on me lol

 

[alexsubri]

maybe the game has an FPS cap? lots of console ports do these days

methinks so, it caps at 60 with crossfire. but crossfire doesn't work right

 

[Mussels]

it wont work at all, no crossfire profile for it.

 

[cdawall]

its 62FPS cap regardless of video card

This is what I personally know so far...:

1. It is bugy as hell
2. 64bit version is useless
3. The gfx for Directx9 are amazing. Can't wait to buy it in March for Directx 11
4. Each cutscene or audio scene it either lags or crashes
5. It comes with Multiplayer, editor, XBOX360 & PS3 Port instructions
6. This was a port from console and they were polishing it up for PC
7. There are hidden trophies, cars, etc...
8. Your Nano Suit is customizable, but you have to upgrade it first
9. Upgrades are known as Catalyst's in the Nano Suit
10. You only have limit access in your suit, the more you play the game the more unlocks
11. Just wait till March to buy it. The BETA isn't worth it. Let the dev's and Crytek fix the kinks

I will have a video on youtube soon showing what's in the files. Maybe do a second one of ingame but just showing the features no walkthroughs or spoilers.

hey what do you mean 64 bit isn't working for you? it works good on mine cut scenes work fine

 

[btarunr]

if you don't think your ISP isn't tracking your every move then you are mistaken. back on topic, i wonder if this "leak" will hurt or bolster sales.

You can take a laptop with this beta installed, go to the EA CEO's office. Tell him "I'm running Crysis 2 beta, bitch!," and he will be in no position to prosecute you. This beta comes with no license agreement whatsoever, nothing you agreed to, before using it, nothing you agreed to before downloading it.

You don't have to rename it, the Directx11 dll is already there. The developers haven't gotten around yet to enable all the features for the PC. I am imaging this was the final beta for the consoles and now they wanted to port it to PC and then polish it up (Directx11, more custimizations, etc...) There is a 3D Settings ingame as well. Kudos to nVidia

I am going to try it again, it keeps crashing. :shadedshu

exactly why i am not worried about having it. this is the same thing as ES chips being sold it is illegal for someone who was sent ES chips to sell them it is not illegal for me to buy them or me to sell them i signed nothing saying i wouldnt or couldnt do that. although every once in a while AMD shows up in a dark SUV asking were you got the chips...especially when you sell an entire tray of them.

was the first one i tried i have had one crash so far and it was my overclock needing more volts

 

[Frizz]

64bit exe is a bit buggy for me, some models have no head texture lol.. and just a warning to anyone interested in the story there are major spoilers at the start so if you want to avoid that i suggest you spam escape and enter as some cut scenes do work...

 

[Mussels]

i saw a friend try this, in his 64 bit version the initial cutscene for level 1 (not the intro movie) was very buggy - missing textures, some dude had a glowing head, etc.

 

[1nf3rn0x]

SO, people who've downloaded this have no chance of being sued for seeding/piracy? I'm not sure about this thing. :S

 

[alexsubri]

Don't play in 64bit its too buggy. Here is my clip . I've heard people are on Himachi serves playing multiplayer

I thought this was somewhat relevant: http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2011/0228/technology-gabe-newell-videogames-valve-online-mayhem.html

Others should be taking note instead of trying to blame fucking everything on piracy, Valve knows what the fuck is up.
