Crysis demo out tomorrow

[r_j_k_p]

fixed

did a restart of pc

sorry to bother anyone

[chuckskull]

Bloody fantastic game, running it on high/medium, looks gorgeous. What surprised me the most was how different SP was from MP, I'll hide in that house I thought, be safe there. 30seconds later someone removes 2 walls of the house with a grenade. That never happened in MP

lol, i decided to take out all the supports on one building (no walls) in the end 1/4 of the room was left standing held only by one support, bit odd but ah well can't all be perfect can it.

maybe that support is uber strong titanium-alloy-kryptonium-steelingstronguranium metal that can support that much torque of a building on one end

or maybe its just a bug

anyone used the sandbox yet? giving it a go now

[funke_munke]

Gah bittorent isn't getting this fast enough! I want to tinker aswell

[moogle]

get it from madducks link!

Madduck's Link

of which i am getting 1.4mb/s from

should be faster than torrent for you.

I tried the sandbox, loads of weapons and stuff you can shove in and play with, apparently there is a Nuke... gotta find it...

[gt81]

It crashed right after Helena got whacked. Off to try again.

[gt81]

Just had a brief play, looks good but its rather jittery with a 8800GTS. DX10 isn't going to be worthwhile until the hardware is there that can handle it.

[pauldarkside]

Well, these are first generation DX10 cards and that's why I'm holding off from moving up - I'm waiting for the 10.1 releases to kick butt during Q1/2008

[Lowe]

Aww man, I had a huge post here typed up and then I accidently hit Ctrl-W. Damn

OK here it is in a nutshell, apologies if it's blunt but this is the craic...


1) Stop moaning about performance. Crysis is developed for PCs a couple of years ahead of what we have.
2) Crysis uses huge, amounts of video memory and as such with textures running at high, you're looking at needing a *minimum* of 512mb to run either high res *or* 4x antialiasing. Not both - 768mb or more for that!
3) Those of you with 8800 GTS 320mb cards (like me) can run at a decent nativr res, but you *must* set the textures to medium to keep the frame rate acceptable. I also set shadows to medium. With everything else set to High I can happily run at 1280x1024 and get a perfectly playable, smooth game. Unless you're really anal, you won't tell the difference with the textures.

I know this because I've had the Crysis beta, and in the beta forums there are plenty of people moaning about how it runs, and also lots of stickies about this, heh!

[pauldarkside]

Stop moaning....

Hang on a minute matey! Who are you to tell us not to moan? If we didn't have something to moan about, we'd never be happy

I'm getting about the same... more my junk connection than anything I think... Cheers though! I'll stick to ye olde torrents. Worst thing is I downloaded it while i worked a ten hour shift today and came in dying to play after a crushingly pants day in work, and the bloody exe is corrupted. Re-downloading... ARG.
