    Crysis no running on a i7?

    Hi

    I've just finished building my new PC. Its a i7 920 Overclocked to 3.5ghz.

    I've installed Crysis but every time I try and launch the game, the screen goes black (like it does when it goes to full screen) but after a few seconds my PC just restarts. I found on another forum, a fix for another game, which was to turn off Hyperthreading. I tried this, then Crysis launched fine. But as soon as I re-enable HT, my computer restarts again.

    Any help?? I've also noticed 3d mark vantage does the same after it does the system scan and tries to go full screen.

    I've got the latest drivers for everything, and I've tried reseting the BIOS to undo the overclock and still get the same problems!

    Thanks for any help.

    Hyperthreading isn't the problem, it's either a bad overclock and/or your GPU or it's drivers is buggy. Set everything at stock clocks and try again. If you still have problem try the latest drivers for your motherboard and AMD (from their websites).

    Re: Crysis no running on a i7?

    I have the same problem with Vantage (system specs on left) after updating it to the latest version. The error log rather looked as if it was looking nv files...
    I don't have crysis but Steam games and ETQW run OK.
    Just saw the post above - I'm running the 10.2 drivers and a few probs getting them to run. Had to run driver sweeper. I suspect the 10.2 drivers.
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.

    Thanks, problem is I've already tried undoing the overclock and still the same problem. It did seem to work with HT turned off, but I did think this didn't seem like it should be the problem.

    I'll check the GPU as I was messing around with it a few days ago OC'ing it, maybe I've left something wrong! Really annoyed though as the game worked fine on my old pc.

    Possibly, but that might only effect the 5xxx series cards, trying the latest drivers, while a generalisation, it is a bit of a rule of thumb. And there's only one way to find out if it's true in this situation.

    Re: Crysis no running on a i7?

    My i7 860 works perfectly, granted, Crysis is fine with only a Core 2.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Re: Crysis no running on a i7?

    Still got the same problems, my friend just tried the Crysis demo on his new i7 920 comp and the game did the same thing, just restarted his PC. He has a fairly similar rid to me, 4830 gpu I think and an Asus P6T mb. He's never oc'd his either.

    I'm gonna check if theres any new drivers on asus's website for my MB otherwise Im lost as to what to do!?

    I suspect the GPU drivers - what version are you running ?

    Re: Crysis no running on a i7?

    10.2

    It does sometimes start playing the EA logo and once or twice its made it to the menu before crashing.

    I just found the game log files and most of the time it crashes when it gets to "Initializing AI System" or around that area before crashing. It doesn't even seem to be constant thing though. Some starts get further before crashing?

    Re: Crysis no running on a i7?

    I had a similar problem (my pc did not restart however) when I ran the 64-bit executable of crysis.

    I tried several workarounds but the only way to play the game for me was via the 32-bit executable.

    Re: Crysis no running on a i7?

    Thanks, I've tried that as well as dx9 mode. Still the same.

    Strange thing is, Crysis Warhead works fine, so I'm thinking maybe patch 1.2 fixes compatibility issues. Just I can't install the 1.2 patch as I get an error about crysis3dengine.dll or something.

    I'm still looking at 10.2. Was it Ok before you updated ?

    Re: Crysis no running on a i7?

    Nope I tried with the default drivers windows installs and the latest 10.2, both do the same.

    Im still sure its something in the 1.2 update that fixes it but I just cant install it! I'd assume that Warhead is based off pretty much the same engine as crysis so if one works, it shouldn't be hard for the other to?

    Sorry - I don't have Crysis, so couldn't say. Understand your frustration though.

    Thanks, I'll keep looking for fixes. Im sure this is something to do with the update and why it wont install.

    If Vantage and Crysis do this, do you have any other games to try? because I would suspect a DX10 issue at the moment....
