So other than just being able to say " I have 1.2 installed" are there any actual benefits to having this patch? Does it fix anything? I'm not even gonna bother to ask if there's any speed improvements, that hope flew out the window months ago.

I see they accidentally left out the "thrown frog now adheres to the laws of physics" fix... they must be saving that one along with "Implemented havoc physic engine" and "removed last half of game and require player to go back through first half of game in reverse order to complete" for the 1.3 patch...

[Noriega]

ANY FPS INCREASE?

[conroejoe]

ANY FPS INCREASE?


don't see anything about FPS increases. I think 20 -30 is about the most this game will ever run at lol.

[Labyrinth]

* Logitech G15 display now fully supported in MP and SP???

Why aren't they focusing on getting better frames per second, or better SLI support rather than making my stupid LCD screen on my G15 work???

God I hate Crytek.

[Technoholic]

lol... Even worse, they added MOD LOADER. Can't it wait?

Maybe it's not possible? They're not miracle workers.

Glad I saved mine this time.

Thanks for posting. :)

Then how do you explain the smooth framerates at like CES and all the other trade shows they displayed Crysis at?

"Look at this awesome game we made and how smooth it runs...but it'll run like a$$ when it's released to public."

That should have been the disclaimer on the box, or I wouldn't have bought it.

They used that prerendered frame cheat in order to make it run smooth

There already is a way to increase your fps and, surprise surprise, it's by LOWERING your settings. Just because you have two of the fastest cards on the market, doesn't mean they'll run crysis at full settings. This is not a thing fixable by crytek, because they can't make faster hardware appear out of nowhere.
The game runs like crap on higher settings because we don't have hardware capable of running it yet, except for maybe triple-sli.
I remember having serious performance issues when far cry launched, and you know what? The fps improvement was huge when the next gen of cards were released. So what we need is for nvidia to get off their asses and start bringing us some real dx10 capable cards, not just a freaking refresh of the g90 cars!

[BioHazZarD]

But thats the problem, when developing a game they should focus on the hardware thats available prior to launch not what we can expect in a year or so. When the game was released 2 ultras in SLI showed terrible results in high resolutions beyond 1600x1200. Thats like they found a time machine 1 year ahead took the gfx cards back with them, did the game and then reversed back 1 year and game is out.

Thanks for the heads up:)

That's not what they did with Far Cry! In order to keep up with graphics, or just make sure that you by far have the best looking game at release you sort of have to make the graphics better than the hardware can run when you're making the game, otherwise your game will actually look a year old if you make it for a year old hardware.

I think Crytek just like me expected Nvidia and Ati to actually release real next-gen hardware at this time and not rehashes of really old stuff. The stuff that will run Crysis as well as the Radeon 9700 ran Far Cry is coming later this year, but if you can't wait just live with 1280*720 @ very high or high settings at 1680*1050 or something. On my machine those two settings and resolutions are very playable and both look a mile better than any other game out now.

Games like Crysis are very good, even if it can be frustrating to have those pretty graphics there but not be able to run them, because those games actually put pressure on the industry. ID used to do that, but now they hardly release anything anymore, so I guess Crytek has taken that role.

And for their demos, maybe the demo maps and machines were pretty different from the final versions? There's all kinds of stuff they could've done to the maps for the sake of making a demo that could've made it run faster. They could've used special made config files tailored for just those machines similar to the config files available on forums now that enable certain very high features but still somehow keep the framerate up.

Anyway, my post may not have anything to do with the patch, but I'm just getting tired of people complaining over the fact that they're dissapointed over not being able to play the by far best looking game with hardware that frankly is growing pretty old now. I was hoping that this geforce 9 series would at least provide with a leap in performance similar to the 7 series over 6, but that doesn't seem to be happening. Even if Crysis can't be run at its "full potential" or whatever right now at 1600*1200 it's still a fantastic game. Frankly of all the fps games released last year its the only one I keep playing over and over again in singleplayer just because its so much fun. I have some experience in game editors, so I'm thinking of making modified versions of all the maps in the game with all sorts of fun stuff to do while replaying the game, just like all those demo level modifications that came out.

i installed 1.2patch on a fresh install of crysis and all my vehicles don't have the rear tires on them........i played a bit of level 1 and 2 and the vehicles drive fine but no rear tires............i have no mods or anything installed......the only thing is i didn't uninstall my saved games... i'm on xp pro and haven't installed the beta drivers that were just released......maybe that might fix it i dunno ill try later.
