buggy PoS.

[LurkerLito]

I just cleared the tanks for the 6th time, and I still can't past this part. I kill the tanks and nothing. No new objectives, the lady and my squad mate just stands in that room. I go around looking for people to kill, get everyone and still nothing. After about 30 minutes the lady and psycho just disappear from the map and I can't do anything. I am so sick of this already. I read on game faqs now that this is a bug, and you have to just load from before that save and eventually you'll get through but seriously, after 6 times now I just am really hating the game.

[Q]

The game is a bit buggy. I just finished the "save the hostage from the school" part. If I get within 5 feet of destroyed tank, I start taking damage like it is crushing me.

::shrugs::

Still lots of fun, though!

It should have, but it dosnt. Apparently (I didn't go back to before the meeting cut scene) the guy tells you to go up river or something? Anyways make your way east, up the river to the cave system thats at the mouth of the river. Youll have quite a number of patrols on both sides of the river so youll know it when you get there.

[Loreman]

The next mission doesn't trigger until you leave the area, start walking up the path.

[Loreman]

Also you take major fire damage if the tanks are still burning.

After I killed the last tank I got my next mission right away. I was in the area where the next one started thou?

[parecon]

Just because the mission doesn't tell you step by step what to do doesn't mean its buggy (which I guess people think it is). However, theres a single path with a river at the other end of the area you take.

[SH64]

Yep^ move forward to trigger the next objective.

[LurkerLito]

I'll give it a try today, but it does seem like a bug IMO. Psycho says "Take care of the tanks and I'll escort the researcher to a safe area." I destroy the tanks but they stay in the room. So I clear all nearby enemies and they are still in the room.

This is a big problem in the design of the level if this is not a bug IMO. It basically changed how the whole game has been since the beginning. A simple "secure an escape route" entry in the objectives after destroying the tanks would fix it. They don't need to give you step by step instructions, but at least they should not deviate from the entire way the game has been since the beginning.

There are some really bad bugs with this game. I had issues late in the game with bringing up the options on my weapons it would take 10 - 15 seconds to bring up the interface, another 10-15 to make changes and yet another 10-15 to get back to the game. Hitting esc would cause problems too. I finally just deleted everything but my savegames and reinstalled it. Problems fixed. However, I'm on the carrier at the end. I'm holding a rocket launcher that is out of ammo but when I try to grab another one it tells me I can only carry one - like it still has ammo. Also, the nuke gun doesn't work, it won't lock onto anything to fire it.

This might make the game unable to be completed which would really suck as I've got about 10 hours invested now.

Still using the warez version?

It is only usable on very special things..which is kinda lame, keep playing you'll see.

[LurkerLito]

Finally got past the level. If you guys didn't say go look for a cave down a path with a river east, I'd never have found it. I went as far back as where this section started cause I wanted to throw some grenades at prophet, too bad he wasn't there. I threw some grenades at psycho and the doc but they still didn't want to leave the room ;).

No, I loaded retail the other night after picking it up from EB. I started playing with the visual settings, shaders and shaders. Seems that it must've corrupted something as the reinstall fixed it. My big issue is that I cannot pick up another rocket launcher now to finish the game... tells me I already have one - but it's outta ammo :(

Did you try to press the "J" key, the "drop weapon" key and pick up the "loaded" rocket launcher? By the way, my hats off to you that you actually bought the game. :thumbsup: What really drives me crazy are people thinking they have a right to constantly bitch and moan when they didn't pay a cent for the game.

Thanks for reminding me of the drop key! lol i forgot about it & had to fire all 3 rockets every time i need to pick up a new launcher :o

Ah, I did not try that. The other times when it was emtpy I was able to. I will try that though. about the other thing, can't really see the use in complaining if you didn't pay for something ;) nothing wrong with "borrowing" it when you've already paid for something though.

And another note, did anyone else enjoy that part after blowing up those tanks? That path with the river. Man, I thought it was so wicked traveling up that river through a deciduous forest taking on random enemies spread through out the trees. I really like fighting in that area. Granted I'm running it at high-very high, so it looked amazing.

yea that was very cool

After loading (twice) the game does not install anything in startup menu or desktop (Vista 64 Home Premium) is this normal?

Going to the disk I can select the Play button but not sure if I am playing 32bit or 64bit. Well the game freezed about 10 min into it.

Going into the game directory and starting 64 bit it freezes when setting up the options. Using Nvidia 169.09 drivers which I also loaded twice after uninstalling.

Can't figure what I am doing wrong, used custom configuration upon installation and only changed the directory location nothing else, any pointers most appreciated.

Yes it is normal, all "Games for Windows" games install the shortcut in the Games Explorer in Vista and when you right click the shortcut you can pick DX9 or DX10. Try both to see if you one is running stable.

Going to the disk I can select the Play button but not sure if I am playing 32bit or 64bit. Well the game freezed about 10 min into it.


Since you installed it in a 64-bit OS, the shortcut points to crysis64.exe and uses DX10 by default. You can create a new shortcut to the 32bit crysis.exe and add the command "-dx9" or "-dx10" to it.

Going into the game directory and starting 64 bit it freezes when setting up the options. Using Nvidia 169.09 drivers which I also loaded twice after uninstalling.

Can't help you here other than recommend you to try the 32-bit .exe and/or DX9 or possibly the 169.04 driver since quite a few people reported strange issues with the .09 driver in Vista.

Can't figure what I am doing wrong, used custom configuration upon installation and only changed the directory location nothing else, any pointers most appreciated.

Good luck and I hope I was able to help you somewhat. :)

[noko]

Thanks for the heads up!

duh on me, I guess I need to learn Vista :o. Was able to play for over 2 hrs straight, started messing with settings and got a driver crash and recover. AWESOME GAME! AA kills framerates, even 2x!

Yeah I loved that part. It was an interesting moment to get shot from behind because I was sniping the troops that were ahead but failed to notice the troops that went past me :).

The only thing I don't like about crysis is how the soldiers are grenade psychics when you throw them. I was invisible, and I waited till they passed me and were facing the other direction but as soon as I threw the grenade they were all scrambling away. They shouldn't really react till it hits the ground by their feet :).

I am on recovery just task with blowing up the tanks, WOW is this game awesome! Except for a few bugs. DX9 seems to work flawless, DX10 not! DX10 will pause for long periods of time,usually it appears when loading, DX9 does not have this problem. I also suffered numerous crashes when using DX10 and AA, havn't tried with DX9 with AA. Playing at 1900x1200, no AA, everything on high except shadows and Post process effects are at medium and game is very playable at this stage, better then I expected.
