Try this Crysis 2 autoexec

[ATOJAR]

Try this and see what you think! .... Ive been using it and it looks damn fantastic ..

Delete anything already in your autoexec file ... Copy & paste the below into there and save.

It sets you in-game graphics setting to High ... Do not change this, This is normal.

Force some AA via nvidia CP.

Damn man i cant believe how good the game actually looks now! ... Everything is just 10x better, Crisper & clearer using the above config, Shadows look wicked. There's no blurriness & the textures are alot lot better, Some points its actually photo-realistic!

It looks that good ive actually just re-started the game again.

[dikinher]

ATOJAR, your config seems to make the game worst. A comparison.

My config




Yours

[Sean_W]

Yeah, your shadows look better. Still, the effects are still poor though. The fire looks crap, over saturated and Crysis 1 fire looked a lot better.

We will see what DX11 does but I don't hold out much hope.

What than stock/default settings? ... Your kidding right? ... The game looks insanely good compared to stock/default settings.

I was using a config tool but this config looks 10x better than any tool ive used can do.

What settings are you using?

[dikinher]

The funny part is I am only using some tweaks.

cl_fov=78

g_useHitSoundFeedback=0

That's all I am using.

I think it makes the game look worse because it disables GI (Global Illumination). Remove that part from the autoexec and I think everything would be improved.

Still needs proper AA though. Hopefully the DX11 patch with enable AA with supersampling.
