Crysis Beta Feedback Thread

[californian1]

Sort of like Halo3 not being on PC or Gears of War not on PC. ;) I know they deny it now.

I'll bet Crysis, like FarCry did, will eventually come out on console.

Gears of WAR is comin to PC with like 3 more missions than the 360

Gaming Heaven: Crysis is one of the few bastions of PC gaming. What were your main reasons to ignore consoles? Wouldn't the fixed architecture make them prime candidates for optimizations?

Cevat: Yes would be. But the original Crysis game as we designed wouldn’t be possible on consoles that’s why and our key reason to ignore other platforms is to focus on quality and the game.

so now if Crysis is comin to console, its gonna be watered down a lot... instead of a map with size of 10km x 10km... its prolly 1km x 1km constant stream bubble.. lower res texture ... etc

Jonelo where eva you are! Can you tell me what kinda system you are using plz. Or even just your card.

Just looking at the screens you posted a few pages back and you got decent looking framerates there.

Thanks.

8800 GTX + C2 2750mhz . But is the second beta, with some tweaks for to put the graphics in very high, more resolution in the shadows , sun shafts etc . This not is possible in this beta .

Ahh... I was hoping you had a GTS:o That would have got me excited.

Thanks for the quick response.

ceveat yerli has stated that the only reason crysis isnt on the consoles is lack of memory, they have plenty of cpu/gpu power

im sure that could get optimized to work on consoles... wont look as good as on pc but should still be good

just got to play a bit more... i didnt get any more crashes and was actually able to log in to a game pretty fast... not too impressed so far... gfx are good but nothing mindblowing considering the poor performance...

EDIT: to disable motion blur set the post processing option to medium

Beta 3 runs great here ! Especially in XP.

I think the graphics are better in Beta 3 also.

There's notable difference; more vegetation, more random bits of scenery, ie. boats, misc. stuff lying around, and the water fall even looks better.

Not to mention, the frogs don't fly from the sky and that weird reflection on the water is gone.

I can't connect to any servers. The little loading window pops up but I never connect.

Any ideas?

[Danothemano]

The best I can get is all low, on a 1680x1050, on my 7900GT... Yet it still looks really good.

This game is better than I expected. Now I just need a better PC.

Holy crap!! Now that's what I'm talking about!!!

Finally installed BETA3 and I have to say it runs quite a bit better than BETA2. Yes some effects are gone from the standard "high" settings but since they want to solve the shader issues that might have been the reason to do so and I´m sure they will be back in the retail game. I´ve had the shader compiling thing and the resulting visual issues for around 30 seconds while I quickly specatated through the map and then it was all good. Driver: 163.71, 1920x1080, 16AF.

I´m going to try to activate the very high settings and missing effects now.

[LORD-eX-Bu]

do you do that by editing the config file and setting all the values at the bottom to 4 instead of 3?

Same here

[agentkay]

Actually you have to edit 12 sys_spec_*.cfg files, plus the system.cfg in BETA3. It worked flawlessy for me, and the effects already appeared on "HIGH", no need to mess around with the game.cfg in MyDocuments/Crysis to enable "VERYHIGH", at least I didn´t try that out... yet.

If you PM me, I can send you all the edited CFGs too.

[Arioch]

I don't suppose the game makes use of SLI now?

I am loving this game so much...I cant wait for the SP demo!

[jeffmd]

Just got done playing with it some, as I got a key from the open beta this morning (snagged the key at midnight as I was heading out to work ;) ).

I'm pretty impressed, for the most part its everything I was expecting, but its also clear this is NOT release worthy yet, and quite understandable why the demo was pushed back. Every now and then a muzzle flash turns squarish (alpha texture mishap), if the camera flys behind something for a second the terrain disappears for 2 (real time geometry culling needs adjustment), and character animations are really buggy (not movement wise, but the chosen animation is often wrong).

I havnt used .ini hacks to increase the options beyond high, and still was pretty happy with what I saw. If anything, I only hope theres an options to allow even small grass to cast shadows, since they seemed to stick out when everything else was casting a shadow. Oh yea, I need to find and turn off motion blur. ^^ Im not a big fan of motion blur in any game really (Bioshock's was fine), and I thought from the movies, beta 1 and 2 didn't have much, but when I was playin beta3, there was LOTS.

Not maxing out 2 cores so not sure what good 4 cores is gonna be.

Whats up with the poor texture in the shade??

Advanced physics and AI in SP and DX10 MP will most likely have their own CPU threads. :)

Regarding the poor texture in the shadow, I´m guessing its most likely a beta3 bug, I don´t remember such an issue in beta2. It could be a driver issue as well. Can you report it on the betaforums just incase it wasn´t already reported?

8800 GTX + C2 2750mhz . But is the second beta, with some tweaks for to put the graphics in very high, more resolution in the shadows , sun shafts etc . This not is possible in this beta .

I can get sun shafts and higher res shadows even in the new client...
Just change in some ini files.

1920x1200 on low here, with framerate to spare. High settings is just a crawl, sadly. 800x600 is all its good for... :(
