[PC] Crysis

Where are you guys getting the demo? Is it a subscription only at Fileplanet?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Here's an interesting GFW Radio interview with Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli. It has lots of info about PC requirements. Yerli states that an SLI/crossfire system is required to run the game at max settings, but a single 8800 will run the game at med-high just fine.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah... this is gonna be great. I could be totally off, this is just how I feel about the issue, it's not fact.

You're probably being to generous to the 8800s. Let's consult Steam's stats;
4.56 % of the steam userbase is running an 8800.

Also, a message for the people who are pissed at Crytek for making such a power-hungry game: Nobody is making you buy it.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well a Public Beta was released today, so hurry and get your keys!

I will enjoy this graphical orgasm in a few hours.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Am I feeling an overall negative vibe from this thread regarding Crysis as a game? While it doesn't hold a candle to some of the things BF2 got right, I think that as a game, it's great fun to play, and it's certainly a positive experience.

I was speaking idiomatically.

As far as I know, it's not a bug, just a method of loading textures, and it happens to everyone the first time.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

There's your problem right there. Let's face it, this game is about the submersion, and that's only going to take place if you've got it on high settings with a decent framerate (>30). I was able to obtain that, and it's amazing.

I LOVE how interactive the environments are, destructible foliage and breakable buildings work like a charm.

How ya doing, buddy?

Am I the only one who finds the AI really stupid? I can be standing about 20 feet away from the guy, with no cloak on, and he doesn't see me. Or I can be running circles around him with the cloak on, still doesn't see me. The cloak isn't supposed offer 100% invisibility. Also, boat drivers will get stuck on docks, and gunners will refuse to switch seats when drivers get killed.

Other than that, A+.

Most amazing jew boots

Here's something interesting: It appears that Crytek simply "grayed out" the option of Extra-High settings in XP, and you can actually modify the cfg files to make it work! Check it out here.

I put everything on max (Extra High) settings on a Core2Duo E6600, 2GB PC2-6400 3-3-3-12, 8800 GTS 640MB system and I had to turn off AA to make it run smoothly. I hate playing without AA, so it looks like I'm upgrading!
