I will be getting some more options into it ASAP.

Please post any bugs or recommendations you have for the program. I'll continue to update it.

yo boss, could you find a way to force the weapons fov aka. R_drawnearfov to 70? that would be massive

can you please remove the function where the program creates an autoexec.cfg on the desktop as well, that is where i backed up my autoexec.cfg and it got overwritten. or at least mention that so hours of tweaking don't go to waist.

I've just used 1.6.

Got this when I pulled open console when I started the game:

unknown command r_FSAA

unknown command gg_usehitsoundfeedback

The 1.6 works with MP?:)

Be careful with the DX11, rumor, update!!

April Fools' Day

=> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools%27_Day

April Fools' Day is celebrated in the Western world on the 1st of April of every year. Sometimes referred to as All Fools' Day, 1st April is not a legal holiday, but is widely recognized and celebrated as a day which tolerates practical jokes and general foolishness. The day is marked by the commission of good humoured or funny jokes, hoaxes and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, family members, teachers, neighbors, work associates, etc.

March 28th=/=April 1st, AND, I doubt Crytek would make an April's Fool joke about a DX11 patch considering how seriously the PC community wants it -_- They aren't douchebags, unlike you.

I tried version 1.5 all settings high think its looks different to me better

multiplayer,doesnt work at all.looks realy ****,bloody crytek

I am using this and like it. One thing I have noticed is that I get weird graphic overlay issues. Like the game is trying to render two scenes over the top of one another. Also, the FSAA doesn't appear to work - for me anyhow.

Keeo up the good work.

I think the blur going from 1.5 to 1.6 is due to depth of field effect. Try comparing screenshots of when you're not aiming down the sight.

extreme settings 1.6 with some change looks better but only singleplayer working

looks really good! what changes you made? can you post the print of your app options?

thanks

Wasdie's utility vs. in-game settings comparison:

This first screenshot was taken using only the in-game graphics setting, which was set to "Extreme".
http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/560904132106436480/C89F3F54232A21F588CC19E46670A99E00BD8A8D/

The second was taken using Wasdie's Advanced Graphics Options utility. I had everything set to "Extreme" or maxed out except MSAA and motion blur which were disabled.
http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/560904132106516504/0BDD5D82FBACD1B7EC802803BDAA88A7046317B2/

In my opinion, the second screenshot using Wasdie's utility is much better. The textures and colors look much more crisp and pop more. The most notable improvements being the water and rock/ground textures. The only slight set back is the fact that disabling MSAA gives you some slight "jaggies" on distant objects. For example the the bus dangling off the cliff and the ambulance in the water. However this also helps get rid of that general blurry look the game has. Overall I think the game looks much better using these settings especially when you're actually playing the game.

Well done Wasdie!

Hey, here is the autoexec i made for myself, i used your tool for a basis. . Added and tested that these work. The first part gave me quite a few bit of FPS.
g_skipIntro=1
r_MultiGPU=0
r_width = 1920
r_height = 1080
sys_physics_CPU = 3 (sets what CPU core to use physics on)
sys_physics = 1
sys_preload = 1
r_shadersAsyncMaxThreads = 4
r_TexturesStreamPoolSize = 256 (how many MB of ram to use when streaming textures on the fly)
es_UsePhysVisibilityChecks = 1
es_FarPhysTimeout = 4 (basically does not render physics thats past a certain distance which cant see)

r_sunshafts = 1
r_BeamsMaxSlices = 164
r_BeamsDistFactor = .05
r_shadowJittering = 2
r_ShadowBlur = 0 (no noticeably reduction in shadows, but gives a few FPS)
r_UsePom = 0 (textures are already flat so best to turn off, still dont know if it still affects Anisotropic filtering like Crysis 1)
r_VegetationSpritesTexRes = 64 (resolution of vegetation sprites, higher is better. Only use values like 32, 64, 128, etc)
r_waterUpdateFactor = .05

s_SpeakerConfig = 0 (0 = uses windows control panel option)
s_FormatSampleRate = 48000
s_MaxChannels = 64
s_FormatType = 3 ( 1, 2,3, or 4. Higher is better sounding quality. 3= PCM 24bit, 2 16bit, 4 = 32bit.)
s_MusicEnable = 1
s_Obstruction = 1
s_ObstructionAccuracy = 1
s_ObstructionUpdate = .1
s_SoundMoodsDSP = 1
s_VariationLimiter = 1
s_PrecacheData = http://www.mycrysis.com/forums/1 (Precaches all sounds on loading a level)
s_PriorityThreshold = 1
s_ReverbInstances = 1
s_ReverbType = 2
s_MPEGDecoders = 32
s_XMADecoders = 0 (usually 32 but resets to 0 for some reason)

Also, i do believe That any sys_spec variable is max of 3. 0 = low 1= medium = 2 high 3 = extreme. r_FSAA is an invalid command too.

Are we use this on MultiPlayer? Any problems? (Ban etc...? )(This is very important pls answer) and thanks wasdie:) Good work...

Edit: My pc is old, i'm play on very low settings (Motion blur, etc... is off) (created with your application (again thanks:)) )

Sorry for my bad english...

tnx for ur work,.it does make crysis look much beter.

Ditto. This game looks COMPLETELY better without postMSAA enabled and HDR / bloom off. Only problem is that in single player when your health gets REALLY low the screen will go black until your health recharges, but that's to be expected out of the HDR algorithm Crysis 2 uses.

Notice
I have Motion Blur, Radial Blur, MSAA, and Edge AA set to off for both settings

Thanks for this great app!!! Couple of bugs:

If you are running in SLI mode the Post Processing line needs to be removed to work correctly or there will be flickering in the game, even set at 2 the HUD still flickers (at least for me).

The mouse smoothing & acceleration toggles are not working correctly so double check those in you config file.

If I'm playing in 1920 x 1080, what should I use as my fov? Anything I changed it to looks rather...odd.

Can someone plz confirm that this is working for MP. The bloom is killing my eyes on Skyline.

Yes it works. Change Bloom and hdr to .6

Yes it works. Change Bloom and hdr to .6

Ok thx, gonna try it now.

very nice tool , ive done alot of configs for crysis 1. Use this tool since demo just going to test this one out and post my config later ...
