lol it doesent even find the game what the **** reinstall the game ye right.

doesnt find the game and its asking to reinstall the game....

Same as everyone else. Like I have time and bandwidth to waste for a patch that probably won't work on a fresh install. that is just funny.

but... what are ...<,z.,.z,<-,.< doing crysis team?!?!?

I bought the game one month ago and I'm still waiting for playing... patch don't work, crossfire dont work... damn...!

I bought through Steam and the patch was not able to find the game in my computer. Help please? I can't even play the game without the game hanging before showing the menu.

Patch already installed... * sigh * I dreamt about playing Crysis 2 this w-e... EA < 0 !

Hey, thanks for the manual patch. I posted before about having problems with the auto update. Sadly, I decided to uninstall and redownload the game. Will check if the auto update works this time, otherwise, this manual install patch will come in handy. Will report back my progress.

As for others who are having problems with the patch not finding their game executable, maybe it has something to do with your windows locale setting and that small R in a circle on the Crysis 2 root folder name (Crysis(R) 2). Either play with changing the R or changing your locale to English US. It just makes sense and lots posted that this fixed their issue.

Hope it helps.

P.S. I know a lot are angry but please, have some tolerance regardless of the situation. Helps noone to rage about.

I have the same problem but for me for some reason MP doesn't find servers.

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes, I:\games\Crysis 2
4. Win7 x64
5. Retail
6. ab6063491f797a8f54d2f87bb4d75405 Crysis2.exe
7. Symantec Endpoint Protection, but I also use Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro which has powerful HIPS/OS firewall capabilities. I use the anti-spyware in Endpoint Protection and thus have disabled that capability in Outpost.

hm, the patch scanns all my hard drives, takes ages... let me choose the path next time, thanks.

... uh, and finally finds nothing where can i see which version i have installed?

Whoever programmed this.. needs to be let go. How hard is it to add a option for browse to root folder, or have at least the two/three default locations checked first?

--now it can't find it-- its cool. Something as simple as this being screwed up....

lol If they would read the post people are making they would know what people are running. 9 out of 10 people put the OS, Ram, and the video cards in the post when they have a problem.

The beta worked fine...

IMO they should have people on the forums 24/7 for the first two weeks to get **** worked out. Talk with people and find out whats going on. Not wait a day to make a random post telling people this "might" fix it and if not bend over...

I got an email from steam asking about my computer to see what they could do to fix the problem so I sent them all my specs and the next email I get from them tells me they don't help with third party games... They cant tell you that in the first email?

Doesn't work for me, it can't find it.

But one thing I did notice was, looking in the "uninstall or change a program" menu from windows control panel, the game isn't even listed there. Now, my game is install with Steam, but the games are always uninstallable from there. I'll backup and reinstall....

Edit: Apparently since I bought my copy via Steam it did in fact update properly, so please disregard the information I had posted here previously.

While most of the things patch 1.1 was supposed to fix have indeed been fixed (from my perspective), a few of them didn't. For instance I still encounter some ranked servers that will not start, albeit far less than there was a few days ago. Also, occasionally some of my MP progression/stats still don't get saved,again this is better than it was at first launch. Both of these issues were said to have been resolved in patch 1.1 which is why initially I didn't think my game had patched properly. Other than that (and of course the many issues patch 1.1 didn't address) everything seems to be running fine. Still looking forward to patch 1.2 though!

For those who can not install the patch 1.1
Do not worry, do not rush.
So even if the install does not solve anything and you can only play single palyer...

1. Have you previously installed the Crysis 2 PC demo?
2. Have you uninstalled the demo before installing Crysis 2 retail?
3. Did you change the path for the default installation and if so, where to?

3. No
4. Win 7 64 bit
5. Steam
6. Not at this time
7. Avast Pro

Just to be sure, is the version shown in the top left of the multiplayer screen? Mine currently says 1.1, but I can't say I ever noticed it auto-updating at any point. I just want to make sure I'm looking at the correct information.

1. does the steam versions of this game have the auto updater?

2. i downloaded the patch and it cant find the game, it just scans right passed the steam file where the game is in

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. No
4. Vista 32
5. Steam
6. Dunno how
7. Avira

Manual update worked for me, though.

1.copy folder crysis 2 to C:
2.rename folder "crysis 2" only
3.installation Crysis 2 Patch 1.1 [manual download]


Enjoy play game

Ok, Uninstalling and redownloading didn't work for me. So downloaded this manual patch and installed without issues. Found the executable straight away (since I already have English US locale setup for my windows which matches my installation of Crysis 2).

Thanks for the patch Crytek. Looking for more improvements

I suppose i don't need the patch. I'm running on steam and i checked the version. it reads 1.1.0.0. I assume this is allready v1.1
