Crysis and Start Menu....
After install - the game and it's folder are not in the Start Menu. I have to navigate to the folder manually, which isn't a big deal but seems odd.
Also - how do you choose between DX 9 and DX 10? Since there is no entry in Start Menu - I'm not sure what I am missing in the way of shortcuts, espcially for configuring the game. Thanks!

Re: Crysis and Start Menu....
If you right click on the icon in the games folder, it will give you options of DX9 or 10. Or you can add "-DX9" to the target path of a shortcut, otherwise it defaults to DX10.

Re: Crysis and Start Menu....
by default the game is only in the start>games folder on vista.
I've already seen a few forums on other gaming boards where people couldn't "find" it after it installed |

Got it. Thanks.
Some games are still placed in the old way on the Start Menu and some are not.

Re: Crysis and Start Menu....
As far as I know, the "Games For Windows" label now requires games to not have a start menu group in Windows Vista. Instead, the manuals, website links and compatibility modes will be in the game's right-click menu in the Games Browser.

Re: Crysis and Start Menu....
I use the classic start menu and I have a bunch of games that do that. Annoying.
