View Full Version : Crysis Single Player Demo Feedback Thread
About half the width of the Crysis cursor. I reduced the same amount the Brightness too and increased the Contrast by the same amount. :) Here you can see the settings:

I like the darker night and shadow areas and it looks more photo-realistic. Of course the experience might differ depending on what display is used.
Thanks. I will try it out now :D
SLI in acction - work- . Very high no AA . About 60 - 80 % more
I'm confused, I was under the impression that SLI does not work at all in this demo.

"We are using NVIDIA provided ForceWare driver 169.01 which is built specifically for Crysis singleplayer demo performance. It should also be noted that the demo currently does NOT support SLI in any way, shape or form. If you have an SLI setup disable SLI because leaving it enabled can in fact potentially hurt performance. The full version game will support SLI with a game patch according to NVIDIA. For the Radeon HD 2900 XT we are using the latest Catalyst 7.10 drivers. " -[H]ardOCP

Backgroud:
8800gts 640
c2d 3.0 OC
evga 650i
Vista x64
This is a bizarre issue:
I installed the demo, worked fine. Then I went to try DX 9 via Vista Games Explorer, worked fine. When I go back in to the DX10 version, my menu freezes and I cannont click anything. I need to alt-tab and force "CryEngine2" to force quit. Anyone else get this?

64bit version of DX10 is broken atm, you need to go 32bit if you want to run the DX10 path ;)
Lol I wonder how many people around the globe that are frustrated by this initially when the **** won't work, I know we've repeated it quite a few times here.. Quite a bummer from Nvidias side to release a beta driver so carelessly that was supposed to improve performance of the game, not break it :|

I am using the 32-bit executables.

If you're 100% sure about that I'd try reinstalling the demo.

My crysis video I've been dying to upload for 3 days now (finally figured out everthing from codecs to audio restrictions etc.). It would have been more exciting fore people back when the demo was all fresh, so it's probably not all that exciting, but still shows some good graphics and is fairly well composed and matches the music IMO. I thought everything was at very high (ran in DX10 mode) but unfortunately shaders was on high as the only setting - still gorgeous looking though.
As I've written in the description it actually looks like the fighter jet killed me because the camera view followed it when I died :D
But now I'm finally ready to throw up some videos in highres on Stage6. We've all seen a lot of screenshots, it's time for the moving pictures :)

As I said before....I am running vista, and I'm able to play the game with no problems. If you're having problems, the first place to start is troubleshooting your hardware.
In DX9 or DX10? High settings and above is barely playable when using the DX10 pathway no matter what resolution.
hi
does anyone know how to turn off moving trees and grass without setting shaders to low because this causes shadows to disappear.
thanks for any help

I am going to add my feedback after finally playing the demo last night.
It is very good.
That is all. :)

VISTA sux !
10fps less ....
VISTA
8800GTS 320,
VERY HIGH (shadow=medium), NO AA, 1280x1024 = 10fps and slideshow !
HIGH (shadow=medium), NO AA, 1280x1024 = 20fps but w/slowdowns .. not too playable
XP
8800GTS 320, HIGH (shadow=medium), NO AA, 1280x1024 = 30fps, and few slowdowns but very playable!
My config:
E6300 @ 3Ghz
2GB DDR2-800
8800GTS 320 500/1600
If you run it with DX9 in Vista, you should get the same performance as in XP. Maybe a decrease in 1-2 fps.

Yeah it does. And the AI is probably the best and most believable i've ever seen in FPS especially when set to delta difficulty.

Tell me about it! i'm playing on normal difficulty & these dang soliders keep follwoing me even when i leave their area! its even get harder when they group together to hunt for ya .. amazing how trying to escape dont help you much in this game!
i think Crytek did a very good job with the AI path finding in Crysis :cool:

Still spouting off your fud and bs even after I proved you wrong countless times with my DX10 screens:rolleyes:
DX10 shots at 1680X1050. Textures, objects and water are at Very High and all others including shaders are set to high.
Now stop trying to convince the world that the demo is not playable under DX10. Just because you cant figure out how to get it running decently doesnt mean that others cant.

Speaking of insecurity....
The person I responded too has a GTS just like me, so your bloated sense of self-importance isn't necessary here.
And you didn't prove anything in regards to DX10. That's just your delusions manifesting itself. Do you remember the premise of your thread? **DX9 Vista 64 bit is way to go!! LOL.OMGZ, Im so smart!**
Please go crawl back into your little bubble.
For a rig that scores 13Kon3Dmark06 I sure cant do **** with crysis I only get 20fps on high settings :thumbdwn:
Legend got any ideas for me? :o

AA aint gonna happen in Crysis with current gen cards, performance hit is too huge at decent resolutions.
Hell even at 800x600 8XAA kills fps.

I suggest you scramble back over to that thread because your making yourself look like an even bigger moron:rolleyes:
I did some TRUE DX10 shots on that same thread you tool comparing them to the Ini tweaked DX9 shots. The picks I just posted in this thread are of the TRUE DX10 UNDER VISTA SHOTS. not the hacked ini dx9 shots:rolleyes:
And you cannot deny the fact that you have been telling everyone and I do mean EVERYONE that DX10 is not playable regardless of what CPU/GPU combo that they had.
Your just a sore little pissed off prick who cannot stand to be proven wrong. I proved you wrong as to how well you could make DX9 with ini tweaks look in comparison to DX10 and then when you told me I could not run it in True DX10 and get close to the same results I proved you wrong there too.
You have done nothing but hate on me ever since so dont expect me to treat you any differently.

Yes stay away from AA with this demo.

Well unfortunately 3D mark does not always translate to gaming performance. What resolution are you using and are you trying to use AA and AF?

I turn my shaders on low to see what kind of performance I would get and the damn thing have the trees out lined in white. How do you fix this?
