Crysis 2 PC fixes & info [Updated 16th April]

Post » Tue Sep 16, 2008 5:35 pm

Good day, I have following issues, that are not listed as known:

1) Main menu music sometimes plays in two instances, that means two unsynchronized versions of the same track running at the same time. This happens when I try to join to the server and cancel it in the process or it fails to connect. This was present in the multiplayer demo.
2) When Crysis 2 is running, ventrillo, miranda, VPN and Crysis 2 - all loose connection to the Internet. It happens randomly, and only when Crysis 2 is running. It is not bandwidth issue, I have no problems with other games (e.g. BF:BC2) and it was not present in multiplayer demo.

I have other issues as well, but they are all listed in first post.
P.S.: Please advertise that your game does not work out of the box next time. Or better - delay it, fix all crucial bugs, and only then release it. Right now multiplayer on PC is pretty much unplayable mess. I hope you'll fix all of it soon.

So far i like the singleplayer but the muliplayer is a let down so far.

Problems in muliplayer:

1. Most servers/lobbys don't work.

2. Serial code is currently in use.

3. When connecting to some servers makes that bleep noise then crashes for a while.

4. Firewall issues, you go to allow exceptions of crysis 2 but still constantly comes up with the same message every time you login.

5. Problems with making profiles/accounts also trying to login ect. (when making a profile in the main menu it always appears in caps)

6. Clan Tag is maximum 4 letters this is to short in my opinion.

7. Laser attachment is dodgy/buged.

These are all the bugs/ problems i have come across so far.

Please make sure the patch will work on steam , becouse it is a known issue that patches dont work on steam , usually ull have to get the nonsteam version of the game ,and then download the patch or getting it automaticly updated , and that dont always work on ( overpriced steam )..

Great game , im happy that console players are getting a chance to play crysis and im glad that u made it possible for them to play the game (dx 9) coz its a awsome game. And u done a great job optimizing the game to run so smooth :D ... and for the dx 11 thing everywone is weeping aboute , im alright with it being patched in later on for the ( FEW ) ones that have expensive supercomputers that they can play with the grafix settings and squeez the life out of their PC s ... ppl.

U chould play the game now !!! ,when u have played it at a smooth frame rate ,then u can weep that ur system wont run the games at a smooth frame rate , and thats not a fun way to play a game (crysis)..

For the record ,Yes im playing on my PC instead of consoles "ofc" every game runs and looks better on PC
and yes i have a pretty good gpu 5870..

Please ppl stop complaining aboute dx 11 and wait ffs. do something ells with ur sparetime then complaining. They have sayd it will have dx 11 , suerly it takes time to make it happen.

Every game out there had issues with connection and stuff on multiplayer and stuff (Bad company 2 - COD ,and so on ) at first , so please be patience ,, --- Do like mee concidering the game , stop complayning and - ADAPT AND ENJOY - - Cheers

OK THIS COVERS THE MAJORITY OF PROBLEMS WITH CRYSIS 2 ASIDE FROM THE CD KEY CAUSE I MANAGED TO GET MINE TO WORK.
To fix the CD key issue all i did was entet it in then it would fail so i quit out of the game entirely then i re-opened it and it asked for it again so i entered it again then it would let me into the multiplayer section however when i tried to join a server it said that the key was in use, so i exited the game yet again and re-entered my key AGAIN then it would let me join games however i found if you dont stay logged in and play a few games to the point where it saves some of your in game stats then it wont save your Multiplayer CD Key. So just make sure that you gain a rank from a server and your able to actually leave the server and still have your gained rank saved on their server. THIS CAN BE A PAIN IN THE ASS BECAUSE YOUR STATS WILL RESET IF YOUR KICKED FROM A MATCH DUE TO CONNECTION ISSUES. If you manage to get this far then you should have no more troubles. Again this is what worked for me i really hope it helps you guys out or at least some of you. I wound up having to enter my freaking key 5 times before it actually allowed me to join, play and save my stats and thus saving my key to their server so that i wouldnt have to enter it again.

I Created a YouTube Video of all the bullcrap we have to put up with this game THIS WILL HELP YOU WITH THE NON SERVER LOADING PROBLEMS TO. IT WILL TELL YOU HOW TO FIND SERVERS THAT WILL ACTUALLY START 100% OF THE TIME. Hope this helps you guys out!

...really crytek?

Been playing the game for few hours, loving it, but then it crashes. Oh, no matter, I'll just restart it. I play for half an hour and decided to upgrade my nanosuit, only to find out that I don't have any nanocatalysts. So, I had approximately 12 000 catalysts and suddenly, when the game restarts I have none?
Not only that but I can't collect them anymore. >:(

Really can't continue the game before this is fixed. :(

Why has there been no mention of the nano catalyst glitch the causes nano catalyst to be lost, and can prevent players from collecting more of it?

I noticed this just the other day... Yeah, this is a huge problem too. I think it happens if you go to the list of campaign missions, and replay one, it destroys whatever save you had before, and it forgets how much nano catalyst you had.

If there was a save option besides just that stupid autosave, I'm sure this would not be a problem.

Crytek has never said this game would be dx11. Im guessing everyone is talking about e3 (or gdc?) where they said there may be dx11. But they had not said anything since.

There is no dx11. It wouldn't make a difference anyway, its a console port. Dx11 wont make the textures higher res. Maybe it would fix the puddles and water whih dont interact with you in anyway. Maybe I should not have replayed crysis before this. Then I would not have been so disappointed...

Oh btw, been playing at a friends house. SOOO glad I didn't buy this game. I would feel very dirty if I had.

The solution to all your problems is: Patience.

Guys just calm down, developers like Crytek and Electronic Arts don't let the people who bought their down.
They will bring out a patch soon, don't worry. They're big developers, and they can't leave a game like Crysis 2 full with bugs and problems. Developing a game is alot of work, I don't know a single game with no bugs and glitches in it after it has been released. This will of course be fixed, like most of the games with bugs.
Of course I am dissapointed too, I was looking forward to play Crysis 2 over the weekend, but I think this will not be possible for the time being, instead, I'll spend my time in the sun, since the sun has been shining this week!

Calm down, wait for the next patch, and spend your time on something else, instead of crying and raging at Crytek.

Right about now, I'm just trying as hard as I can to get a refund from steam. I don't even want to look at this pile of **** anymore, I had hopes for it, was even in denial for the past few days about it, but now I can sincerely say I'm done with Crytek. The patch won't help, the game was **** from the start and the only pc players who bought it were just too loyal to this sham of a company.
Haha fail... that's why I don't pay money for Steam only games anymore... when they svck you can't get your money back and it is lost forever. Non Steam customers now can easily sell the game via Amazon, Ebay etc. while laughing at you.

Good luck getting your money back.. but I think you'll never see it again. ;)

Yep there are a few technical problems, some of them prevent you from enjoying the game. Indeed, there might not be directx 11 in the game yet.

However! I did get into some stable servers and my oh my! This game is realllly good! I don't remember to see such refreshing gametypes in a game that's actually fun, the mechanics are awesome, the abilities are brilliant and the stealthkills are sweet!

All the ragers here, go get some tan, you might get a girl for a change. Besides that, are you saying this game is ugly? hahahaha , the game ISNT ugly, it's gorgeous. And the gameplay is so much better then i expected. Crytek, you have come a long long way since Farcry 1's multiplayer. Well done! Loving this game even with the bugs!

(I know I should check out the singleplayer as well but I love myself a good competition!)

SO many ungrateful bastards here saying that Crytek don't deserve our money. Are you kidding? This game is LUDICROUSLY good, LUDICROUSLY. This is the game I've been waiting for all my life!

I would like to report however that I cannot play any further than the Semper Fi or Die mission due to the marines constantly repeating "Move up!" and "Go!" and other things, there's little than a second between each announcement and it's continuous and many even overlap several times. It's very annoying and ruins the game so I've put it down until it's fixed. I've read a lot of other forum posts from people who cannot proceed further than when you have to defend against the Ceph as no enemies ever materialise. Please acknowledge this bug! Thanks for an amazing game otherwise!

Add one more to the list of those who cannot connect with their gamesas log in. "Incorrect login details..."

I use a different login/password for EA, would that effect anything?

Edit: Great game btw, I'm still playing the campaign so I'm not too worried about multiplayer, yet.

Thanks for an amazing game otherwise!

EDIT: I wanna put this at the top :
I think the lack of official responses from Crytek indicates they really don't care. I'm not 100% sure but I believe Cry-Tom and Cry-Adam are only community managers for this site. They don't actually work at Crytek.

UNGRATEFUL?!? ARE YOU **** KIDDING ME? We paid money for this product. Which means we shouldn't have to put up with this ****. They bragged about their engine like crazy and you see how that turned out. They always said it was gonna be the pinnacle of gaming in every way, shape, and form. Well if your using an outdated API then how the hell can you accomplish that? Plus the game is buggy as hell.

I'm sorry but when I pay good money for a game, I'm not gonna deal with a **** mess. The only way I'll deal with a mess of a product is if it's free. Is this game free? NOPE!

You idiots who believe the developers even care about their consumers are ignorant to say the least. They don't give a damn once you give them your money. You wanna see a prime example? The newest AVP. They said there was gonna be free DLC that was included in the limited edition. Did it come? Hell no it was paid. They said dedicated servers would be at launch. Did they come? Nope took them 2 week IIRC and they were in beta.

I can go on and on about companies that say one thing and do another including Crytek. Hell they promised us an editor for Crysis 2. Are we getting it? No. Instead they are going to release a full engine like UDK this summer. But how can you use it for Crysis 2 if the bloody files are encrypted? Game engine's aren't modding tools. They are completely different.

Anyone who says we should calm down and have patience must love throwing money away.

PS: Crytek promised us a lot with Crysis 1 and and warhead. We didn't get half of what they promised us. But they were damn good games. Crysis 2 is nowhere near Crysis 1 or warhead.

I "see how that turned out"? I've played several hours of this campaign and spent most of it grinning with disbelief at the mind-bogglingly well scripted scenery and gameplay, not to mention the bonerific graphics. They bragged about their amazing engine and I saw how that turned out alright. It turned out terrific. So you've had a bit of a bad time, I personally haven't seen many bugs at all apart from one or two, and this current one that granted is a little gamebreaking. But this happens in the PC game world, ranting at Crytek is just silly.
