It's sad that Crytek went under as a developer of high budget AAA titles that push the envelope in terms of graphics technologies. Now they're pursuing the "F2P and make a ton of cash" dream.

They still also make money licensing their Cryengine, which gets updated periodically into new version numbers.

I know , but I look at something like Prey and it just doesn't really impress me from a technical point of view. Sure their engine is capable and all but it's only in their hands when it will shine the most.

Crysis 1 was truly miles ahead of everything , can't say I see much of that lately. Graphics technology advances but at a much lower phase , there are no "pioneers" so to speak anymore.

"Pionneers" are only that for a given time ... with the constant evolution and the advance of time .... they are rarer and rarer :laugh:

granted there are still some development studio that impress the masses with gameplay mechanic or graphical prowess, but further you go and more standard you get than originality/improvement

You are right about that! It seems the games that license the Cryengine are missing something. Look at Homefront: The Revolution, and Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 faces. They just don't come close to Crysis 3, which was done way back on Cryengine 3. We're on 5 now. Prey looks worse graphics wise than Dishonored 2, and it's on Cryengine 5, whereas DH 2 is not on any Cryengine.

One exception is Everybody's Gone to The Rapture, on Cryengine 4. It looks gorgeous and will absolutely choke most computers with its detail level.

Rant over.

Agreed, the Cryengine 2 used on Crysis looks better than any newer iteration IMO than the 2 and 3 simply because it's build specifically for PC thus there is no limitation, you can see when changing game detail it looks different, on the contrary the later Crysis don't have that much difference but only consuming resources and tanking framerate. Also it have proper quicksave/quickload feature which most modern game lacks because of consoles.

The game still demanding even on modern cards. I get fluctuating framerate, it goes as high as 100fps on some scenes and dips to 30-40fps on heavy scenes, this is on 980Ti at 1080p resolution very high setting. Changing to DirectX 9 makes the game performs better. Anyone have tips to tweak this legendary game?

One thing I would say, as I download Crytek's patches to hopefully remove the need for the disk (I have no dvd drive in my PC ATM) is to make sure the game is running in 64 bit mode (If I recall steam only runs it in 32 bit) If I recall at 1440p I could hit 60 frames consistently with my 980.

Just an alternate thought, I believe GOG's Crysis runs 64 bit, and already patched.

This game was truly awe inspiring when it came out. I remember running it on my old x2 5000+ with 2GB RAM and a 256MB 8600Gt. Back when downscaling the resolution was the only way to play it with those specs, but it was still gorgeous and entertaining. The second iteration of the game was somewhat ok while the third, well, it lost the feel of the first one.

between the graphics and that the game is a sandbox game, Crysis is definitely my favorite shooter. Hell, I just bought a new (used) copy last week. Thanks for the graphics mods, I'll be installing them tonight. I'll post pics in 2560*1600.

Quite frankly that video looked horrible. Seems the washed out look from too much haze that Crysis 1 has on High Shaders was exaggerated to the point of being ridiculous.

Thanks for the reply.
Yeah I hate to sound like I'm on an obsessive diatribe, but I just feel too many devs have been clinging to pumping up these effects in games to where they look anything but realistic. It's even worse when they hard code them in, or lump them into settings instead of making them a separately adjustable one (which is what CryTek did), causing you to completely lower shaders to turn them off.

This game was truly awe inspiring when it came out. I remember running it on my old x2 5000+ with 2GB RAM and a 256MB 8600Gt. Back when downscaling the resolution was the only way to play it with those specs, but it was still gorgeous and entertaining. The second iteration of the game was somewhat ok while the third, well, it lost the feel of the first one.

The beautiful part of the game - and a thing many never realized or remembers - is how forgiving it was on lower settings. I played it on an Athlon 64 2.4Ghz, 2GB RAM and a Radeon X1950 Pro 512Mb, on 1280x1024 @ mid/high settings. Your GPU definitely held you back.

At first I thought it boring, but then I upped the difficulty to the highest level and suddenly it became this stealth game. It was designed around being hard, that's the only explanation as to why it suddenly got so good.

Yep, because of it's engine PC origin, it scales very well from very low to very high end systems. Even with my current specs, patched and run on 64-bit framerate still dips here and there.

Agreed, Delta difficulty (trivia: it was named bauer difficulty in cfg file, most probably referred to Jack Bauer) is the only way to play this game; no crosshair, enemy speaks Korean and very prone to damage/death. If you don't like it you can edit the cfg file and be a superhuman :D

Yeah I hate to sound like I'm on an obsessive diatribe, but I just feel too many devs have been clinging to pumping up these effects in games to where they look anything but realistic. It's even worse when they hard code them in, or lump them into settings instead of making them a separately adjustable one (which is what CryTek did), causing you to completely lower shaders to turn them off.
I've had these problems myself with a lot of Skyrim graphic and lighting mods and other games as well. It looks cool from a spectator standpoint but to actually play, the blur, depth of field settings, and the ENB lighting just really overwhelms to the point where it is simply too much. Looks like the player is tripping on shrooms. o_O

This is an example of what I played Crysis 1 on originally, and how inadequate the X1950Pro was, but how addicting the physics were anyway. This is also before I learned how to tweak the game settings well. Needless to say with the settings tweaks and GTS 250 it ran way better.

This is a short vid of antics with the demo whereby I took a lot of time carefully parking Humvees and pickups with barrels in them. Then I took several runs driving a pickup at them off a rock ramp, and bailed out on top of a roof to witness the carnage. I call it Raining Cars.

It started out as just an experiment on how to get by this outpost quickly while making a vid of the first mission, but then I thought, it could be more fun than just that, right? The last one in the vid flew the farthest. Way down the beach.

Hello, I'd ask you guys, How exactly install compilation mod 2017 for Crysis Warhead? Because I install mod for Crysis - main game and everything working good, but in Crysis Warhead I've got blue rocks, blue ground textures and grass (grass sometimes).
I install the mod like that: 1.) textures.bat, 2.) Install Flare HDR Normal.bat, 3.) Installer MsterTOD.bat. That's all.
Do you have any experience with this problem?
