Crysis 2 leaked almost 50 days early

[erixx]

Indeed! Yes, but on the other hand FC and Crysis have both enemies that just see thru the woods etc... Things that I would polish before inventing suits and hats

stealth was probably the most useful ability in the entirety of the first game.

the difficulty of delta would become comical without it, it's a borderline necessity to abuse. the best was that they would look for you where they last saw you, so you could make some noise, cloak, then sneak around back or past while they went hunting in the bushes.

well i never played delta - on normal i didn't use it out of necessity a single time. when i would replay an area screwing around sure, but it definitely was not the most useful ability.

maybe on delta that changed - but again i didn't play it on delta, and i doubt more people played it on delta than "normal"

It's a different game altogether.

More stable or better frames?

If better Frames it's from DX11 supporting multicore cpus better.

I'm sure if we patched the original crysis to dx11 it would run much nicer, after all it seems the only proper slow downs I get are from physics.

( for the most part I get over 40 frames in the original, cluster "cuddle" areas with lots of explosions and houses ( mostly my fault) can drop things down to 25.

The snow/explosion benchmark takes me down to 13 sometimes

hmm, seems they havn't done a good job on optimising the explosions.

We cant say that it's an early beta, cuz explosions are part of the engine, and if we remember, the engine was announced in 2009. So THEY SHOULD have got it right by now.

BTW, read at some forum thread, GTX570 guy getting fluid 60fps. Seems it's really another nVidia optimised shithole game... :sigh:

One last this,

do you think the visuals in DX11 mode and DX9 mode are significantly improved or you don't actually spot any difference while playing(except for better fps under DX11)

BFBC2 doesn't even have proper phsyics, it's all prerendered for the most part ( blow up a building, it takes 5 destroyed walls to knock down a whole building, entire roof INSTA disapeers and then it falls down. ( particle effects and random bricks also get INSTA rendered in order to obscure that walls/etc literally just got deleted with no animation XD)

BFBC2 upsets me when I play it as it completely ruins imersion watching an entire roof disapeer.



Was good the first time it happened ( bit in the little square with a tank near the beguining of game) but that was only because I was getting shot at by a tank and not paying attention.

If crysis 2 can't do better than fake physics it would be upsetting.

BC2 is intended as an MP game, having all that done real time would wreck computers. I'm happy with the direction they went, COD doesn't allow anything.

Usually I'm running away from dropping buildings either way.

 

[TAViX]

Don't worry ATI works good also. Read on some forums that if you have an ATI 4850 or better you can play it with all details for an average of 30fps or more.

I just said it wasn't real physics and it was a bit meh IMO.

Both of which are technically true lol

Also @ other guy, I've not played or downloaded the beta, I said original crysis.

 

[Nailezs]

while we're finally on the subject of the game performce, can anyone guestimate how well the game would perform on my rig(the one in the specs)?

 

[Easy Rhino]

i played it last night in dx10 and it certainly looks more polished than when i was running it in dx9. funny too because i did not see any real performance drop. that is encouraging. i wish i owned a dx11 card to see what it really feels like to play it because even running it in dx10 i sometimes feel like i am actually in the game.

nailez, your rig will be comparable to mine as i have a q9650 @ 3ghz and a gtx280 so you should expect running it in dx10 between 25-35 FPS.

 

[scaminatrix]

Seems the masses are right; sorry AphexDreamer;
I've been seeing this error with the system.cfg settings in the most recent log files:

" Loading Config file HighSpec.cfg (gamecrysis2\config\highspec.cfg)
[Warning] system.cfg -> invalid configuration line: r_driver dx11"

Try this:
Instead of "r_driver dx11", use
"r_driver=CryRenderD3D11.dll"

This has stopped the error mesages about dx11 in the logs, but the display in the top right still shows dx9.

So... what I'm gathering from this thread is everyone has downloaded the leak and is playing it? lol

yes, a handful of us have and are working out some of the bugs and discussing technical questions related to hardware requirements. i have scared off most of the trolls who only wish to argue about the ethics of piracy.

thanks Easy Rhino. my eyes dont see any difference in fps from ~30+ so that should run just fine for me!

So... what I'm gathering from this thread is everyone has downloaded the leak and is playing it? lol

hell no! im not touchin that thing with a 10ft pole! im on probation dude lol. i was in jail with a guy who had a year just for being in the posession of suspected pirated dvd's, they never even proved they were real fakes!

Believe it or not, I haven't played it, I'm just trying to get my mate running it right. I see this as "early troubleshooting"; we might have to still use these setting changes when the real deal comes out. Hope not though...

 

[Easy Rhino]

when i put in the new system.cfg info to enable dx10/11 i lost the little streamIO in the top right corner. is there a way to reenable that while still running dx10?

 

[Frick]

I can't be bothered. I just want it to see how the story develops.

 

[scaminatrix]

Yea, just change:
r_displayInfo = 0
to
r_displayInfo = 1

 

[Easy Rhino]

Yea, just change:
r_displayInfo = 0
to
r_displayInfo = 1

oh duh, thanks!

uhm so the streaming IO still says i am running the dx9 profile even when i change r_driver to dx11 or dx10 in 32 bit or 64bit mode. anyone else confirm this?

 

[douglatins]

oh duh, thanks!

Use rivatuner OSD! I will when i get home

You haven't? You must be the only one.

Have you used this?:
"r_driver=CryRenderD3D11.dll"

the display still says dx9 when using this, but it no longer shows up in the error log. I don't think you can rely on the streaming IO. IMO the only thing to rely on here is your eyes and your gut; take some screenies and have a proper butch.

 

[Easy Rhino]

hrm, i only have a dx10 graphics card tho and i dont see a CryRenderD3D10.dll file

 

[scaminatrix]

try this:
r_driver=d3dx10_42.dll

I think this leaked beta is based on a more polished version for X360 than PC. This is all speculation based on the amount of x360 and PS3 files in the ISO. I need to test the config lines to force DX10/11 but I have my doubts on that working properly since most people are saying the display info still reports DX9. I sure hope Crytek doesnt release the final product including PS3client stress tests and all sorts of useless console files.

I was trying to make the benchmark_GPU.bat work and then I realised it's a direct copy from the original Crysis Bin32/64. The commands and the path for the levels (including level names) all refer to Crysis1.

I tried the afformentioned fix for CFX and while flickering did go away I did not see any performance increase despite 60-80% usage on each GPU.
