And 1 more problem! As soon as you close access to a multiplayer game with a pirate?

Guys, pls do you know why when i set resolution higher then 800x600, crysis will crash down ? When I have visual settings on hardcoe and 800x600, the game goes correctly but if i set resolution, my pc gonna down(just the black screen, and sound froze)... i have win 7, E8400 3Ghz processor and 2 GB ram

The reason for this is, due to Crysis being a fairly graphically demanding game, your graphics card does not have the power required to play with such settings on high resolutions. Your options are to sacrifice some of the eye-candy, or upgrade your computer, starting with the graphics card and 2g more RAM wouldn't hurt.

-Dragon's Crysis 2 Impressions, Glitches, and More-


I was one of the people who pre-ordered this game, had high hopes as I was a fan of Crysis 1. Although I enjoyed the original Crysis, it had it's flaws; I however would have suspected that these issues would have been ironed out in the sequel. Am I wrong for making such an assumption? Anyways, I don't know really where to begin with this one, ever since I bought the game I have been met with countless frustration and inconveniences. At this point, I'm starting to think that maybe it would be easier to talk about what this game did right as unfortunately this list is a lot more straightforward than the game's shortcomings..

I suppose Crytek is to be partly commended as I did thoroughly enjoy the Single Player experience, and although it is indeed much more linear than Crysis 1 I felt the presentation and gun mechanics were quite improved (for example, no "Invincible Korean" glitch when sniping with assault rifle from far range). What everyone has said here about some of the bugs are true, so I don't feel it's as necessary to elaborate so much on it. Personally, I'm not sure if I've ever been faced with the Magic 'Catalyst Glitch as I never really used it in-game. At most I only bought a few of the suit upgrades and never bothered to check them much afterwards, and if my 'Catalyst was decreasing, I had not noticed it as there were so many aliens dying by my hand that I didn't bother keeping track of it. At times the AI would just stand there as I pumped them full of bullets, but it didn't happen often enough for it to be a major concern. After completing the Single Player Campaign, what respect I had for this game diminished as soon as I clicked on "Multiplayer"...

I really don't know where to begin. I'm not joking, I seriously cannot believe the multiplayer component of this game is so broken. To be brutally honest, it's borderline unplayable. In all of my years as a dedicated PC gamer, I have never been so absolutely overwhelmed by how butchered the online experience is. As with many other people here, I was unable to log onto my account to access multiplayer. At first I had problems signing on, but after wasting enough time screwing with the game and my account settings, I was finally able to log in and access the server browser. Here lies the next few sets of frustrations: I could not join any servers. The game kept claiming my CD Key was in use, and I had difficulty redeeming my Preorder bonus as well. When I was actually able to get that problem corrected, I still could not join a single damned server! It's completely ridiculous not being able to connect to 95% of the servers out there, and the few I can connect to are mostly just lobbies with anxious players waiting patiently for the server to start. I used to be one of those people until after enough failures, I realized the servers weren't ever going to start... Sometimes it suddenly comes up with a timer saying "Match begins in 260 seconds" and people suddenly get exited. In their minds they're thinking "I've been trying to get into a game for 40 minutes, and it's finally going to begin!" but I know better. Do you think I enjoy being the bearer of bad news, where just about every server I join, I have to go into the chatroom and tell the people that no, the server will not start, and if a timer actually shows up, the damned thing freezes at 1 second and the just sits there, ticking, almost like it's taunting us.

I'm truly sorry if this is turning more into an unorganized rant / rage rather than a detailed anolysis of the problems the game faces, but it's difficult to stay focussed on every one problem when there are so many of them ;-;. To sum up the above paragraph, most servers don't work, ranked or unranked. You'll have a better chance at getting an unranked game up, but it's still rare to find a server that actually works. Also, it's worth mentioning that the servers don't seem to keep track of your weapon-specific kills, making it impossible to unlock new weapon attachments. The only way to do that is to join a ranked server, and even if you manage to get into one, it still might not save your stats. Speaking of ranks and stats, another thing that really aggravates me is the fact that the game punishes you for leaving a server! It's complete garbage, because I remember one round I was actually doing really well, and the lag was minimal was well. Left and right, I was racking up kills with my silenced feline and I gained 2 promotions in a matter of minutes. I was foolish to think that I may actually get enjoyment out of this game, as the server crashed on me right after... For some reason, they thought they'd punish players for leaving a server, all weapons and promotions you earned during that particular game are taken from you. This applies as to whether you purposely leave, or if if something out of your control happens, such as the damn server crashing which happens far too often. Perhaps Crytek should have put more effort into making the online mode playable, rather than focusing on how to unjustly punish the players for unrelated server issues..

Server issues temporarily aside, this game contains many small glitches that are equally as frustrating. One of my personal favorites is how filters don't save your input. Why they neglected to include this is beyond me; after all, if I open up the Original Crysis it still has all my filter settings applied, how did they break something that worked well in the first game? I'm probably not being clear as to why this is so annoying, so let me be a little more precise. You want to level up, in which case you need a ranked server. You apply filters to not show full servers (Why the hell would I want to see fulls servers anyways? Some of these filters don't even make sense), and to display ranked matches only. You try to join a ranked match, it fails to connect to the host. After many more tried, you join a server that suffers from that awful "$60 Chatroom" glitch where the server doesn't start. You become frustrated and leave that server and go back to the server list, you notice all of your filters reset, have fun applying them again and failing to join more servers... if you haven't noticed, you simply can't win.

Now, if you actually manage to get inside a server and play with people, the frustrations will not end. My team is losing, and I feel I should relay some information via the in-game chat option. I cloak and go into a corner as I press the "Y" key and start typing out my message. About half-way through my text, I'm killed by some random guy with a SCAR. Oh well, it happens right? The problem isn't me dying, but rather the mind-castrating fact that the game closes your chat menu when you die. Why would they do that?! On top of that, sometimes the gameplay just pisses me off more than anything. You would expect to be rewarded with a fair, friendly game once you actually manage to find a server that works, but that too is a pipe dream. Out of all the servers that don't crash on me, most of the time the game still wasn't at all enjoyable. Far too many times I will unload at least half a magazine into an enemy player, and they fail to die. Before posting s*** like "lol its cuz u suk", know that I've read through this topic and I know I'm not the only one experiencing this problem, which makes me more at ease. What's even worse is when a I watch the kill cam, either my shots don't seem to register when they hit the target, or I'm missing completely (yet on my screen they were all direct hits, the cross-heir even flashed to represent that). It gets worse, even though I'm ALWAYS in armor mode when I engage an enemy (And I will have 90+ shields when I do), they'll kill me with no more than 3 or 4 body shots... I'm in ARMOR MODE, why am I dying so easily? When other people are in it, I'll have to waste tons of ammo to take them down, but for me it's almost instantaneous. Note that I have a good Internet connection here, and often have very low pings on most servers I join, so I don't know if I just have bad luck, or if the game has latency or hitbox issues. Ugh, sometimes I point blank a guy with the FELINE when he's cloaked, and melee him twice and they still don't die, yet they seem to finish me off with, again, 3 shots or a random headshot. Those spontaneous headshots can really be a pain sometimes.

To conclude this wall of text, the game is broken. Why didn't they just delay the game instead of giving us a defective product? Although I enjoyed the Single Player Campaign, there is no excuse for the multiplayer to be so terrible. As far as I know, there's no ETA as to when these problems are going to be fixed, and to be honest I really don't want to wait for an undisclosed amount of time just to be able to play the damn game I spent $60 on.. I purchased it through Steam, so I'm unaware if I'm able to get a refund, but seeing as how bad things are now, I doubt it. At this point I'm not sure who to blame, whether it be Crytek, EA, or the Gamespy servers; I can't point to where it all went wrong. I'm severely disappointed in this game and the poor decisions made by the developers, and would urge would-be customers not to purchase, or at least not until it's confirmed that most of this crap was fixed. To sum it all up, This is completely unacceptable.

Re: The multiplayer part.
Crytek are on it just give them time, and yeh, they dont care to much about us. They have a small team dealing with pc but a huge team dealing with consoles. Console versions work perfect but pc. well its just ****. Multiplayer wise

oh and sp isnt perfect aether, when i think about it. I do understand that this game is mostly about graphics and ai, But at so many stages the ai get stuck or gliched. I know what you must be thinking 'this guy just complains and complains', yeh well this company did not deliver what they promised to us. So i have every single right to complain. and would also want a refund for this game.

The people on multiplayer servers is dwindling. If Crytek don't pull their finger out by the time they release their (what better be a freaking good) patch they'll be no multiplayer community anymore.

I CANT EVEN CONNECT TO MP

I PRESS MP AND I GET - INITIALAZING SQUAD - CRYSIS 2 TM has Crashed


i wasted money on this game

BONJOUR COMMENT METTRE LE CODE ????????
sorry i must speak english:)
where i can post my serial for the bundle of the limited edition
very sorry for my english

It took me forever to create an account and now the ingame menu does not recognize it. Tells me network connection problem. Why ?

read ea news... in two weeks they have a patch!

i lost a weapon unlock point. i unlocked grendel at lvl 11 or something and it didnt save the unlock neither the point for unlocking a weapon but my level stood the same.

I have encountered another minor bug in singleplayer (I haven't played multiplayer yet because I can't login with my gamesas account):
Sometimes after either loading a level, or re-loading after dying, all melee options other than power-kicking large objects (stealth-killing enemies while cloaked, meleeing enemies, or just meleeing objects in general) doesn't work.
I starts to work again after you reach a checkpoint, or after a dialogue is triggered.

A few more bugs.
Sometimes when re-loading, along with not being able to melee I can't zoom down sights, swap weapons using the 1 and 3 keys (I can swap weapons by scrolling the mouse), and I can't activate Visor Mode.

Another bug that's really annoying is that I can't collect Nano Catalyst, when I kill aliens, and walk up to them it says that I'v collected, say, 100 NC, but when I press 'H' and open the module menu, it always says that I have 0 Nano Catalyst. This particular bug first appeared sometime around the middle of the level Semper Fi Or Die.
Also, all collected Nano Catalyst is reset to zero whenever you quit the game and then continue later.

Hi I'm some poor 17 year old schmuck that loved the first Crysis but can't even get past a level in the second one because of the amount of bugs i had to go through. I'm gonna make a long list of glitches that i have found because I think that I have encountered every single one possible.

1. Jumped through a window in "second chance" i end up with nothing in my hands, not even my hands (so i couldn't do anything but quit).

2. I shoot a gun then i stop firing but the sound of the machine gun lingers on for the rest of the level.

3. On the level "semper fi or die", i get into a structure after the ceph gunship blows up the entrance. What do i get ? marines keep yelling "move up, go" for the rest of the level even when the is nobody around. I replayed the level and get the same problem except now chino keeps telling me in the top left corner of my screen "push through alcatraz cmon" so it just gets worst.

4. This is the glitch that prevents me from moving on in the story (in semper fi or die). I get to the end of the level. You know when the ceph gunship is supposed to blow up the helicopter (not that I've seen it happen though). Anyways you're supposed to regroup with some marines cause they need help. I get there and there is only invisible people shooting at each other. Technically flying guns that don't move around and they shoot at one target (you can take damage from these flying stationary scars if you stand in front of them). On the railroad there are invisible ceph shooting (but not at you). I move over the way-point but nothing happens even though it says I'm right on top of it.
That's where I'm stuck for the single player.......now for the mulitplayer.

5. I got the "serial code already in use" glitch. However i found a solution on the internet. You just have to type in your code WITHOUT any capital letters or dashes.

6. Ohhhhh boy the double soundtrack glitch. This glitch is the same glitch i encountered in the demo. You know how in the main menu there is a song playing. Well when you go to the customization menu, the soundtrack restarts over the soundtrack that is already playing. So you have two of the same soundtrack playing but at two different points in the song. This is very annoying.

7. Now for the mystery dog tags. This is another bug that i encountered in the demo. Basically what happens is when you unlock a mystery dog tag and you use it for a while it gets relocked (but it is still your display on your dog tag unless you click on another). When you do click on another the display on your dog tag is different but you cannot go back to your old dog tag as if it was never unlocked in the first place. You can re unlock it though (because your points come back as if you never spent them). The same thing happens for the unlocking of guns and attachments.

8. And quite often the melee button doesn't work even if you remap it.

Well those are all the glitches i experienced thank you for reading. It's a great game but it really needs to be patched.

I posted this earlier but this one is modified cause i found a couple other things.
I'm just wondering if someone else found the same bugs i have and that it's not just me.

My problem is the message appears as "connection has been lost to the server"
HOW CAN I FIX THIS !

Sorry but i have to say that the multiplayer is no fun anymore at every server are cheaters and thats not very funny and so me and very much other stop playing that great game. Its very sad because its a great game but not with cheaters =((((

Some people say that most of us are cry-babies (see what I did there?) and only nag instead of actually helping. Forgive me but I'm very pissed off not only about all the above mentioned issues but also by the fact that you can download the game cracked AND PLAY MULTI FOR FREE! I'm very sorry people, maybe you have more money than me, I accept that, but can you tell me why did I pay for this game when I could just get it from any torrent site and play as an equal with all the others? Do you all realize how stupid we ALL ARE?

that is really messed up! the nr. 1 reason i bought this game was cos of multiplayer.......and that is just about the biggest pile of **** ive ever seen anyway! and now ur sayin i couldve just downloaded from torrent site and even play multiplayer? great

guys do you have any suggestions to my problem? I can play sa sp just totally fine but I cant play mp? What's going on?!!!... I can login to gamesas acct and was able to redeem the code but when I click on 'Join Match', there are TOTALLY no servers in there! I cant see any servers. WTF? somebody help please!!

Been playing multiplayer for last few days and gotta say this: Crytek really don't know what the **** they are doing. Didn't I read that an entire team was devoted to making the multiplayer portion of this? Crytek UK, wasn't it? This has got to be the most bugged out **** I've ever played. I keep having to unlock the Grendel cuz it won't remember that I already did. So I can't get any attachments for it. When I leave a lobby that won't start and go to Join Match again it says "Invalid Parameter" in the server browser. Only way to clear this up is to quit game and restart. Can't connect to half of the servers- dedicated servers. That people pay money for. Pings are a **** joke. Stat tracking is terrible. Random disconnects.
Really Crytek, **** you.

I really enjoyed the story I had no problems beating it on supersoldier with the odd glitch on PS3 because my PC copy I bought both screwed up and well you know Nano catalyst glitch MUCH!!!!!!!. but multi is like so many before have said F@CKED wats the point of Ping if I'm 30-50ping I can't play with a whole group of under 50 ping I end up having to search for servers under 150 and even then there are players at 400-999ping they are maxing the hell out when i'm 38 ping there is another dude on my team or enemies team with 400 ping another dude with 999ping etc ..... cmon please fix tis game I love it to much to give up

Ok, I used to be a pc gamer long time ago back when the first far cry came out. I loved being able to adjust graphic settings and all the customizing that was available. But I got tired of spending 100's of dollars just to keep up. So I started going with consoles and been that way ever since. Pc gaming has been going down ever since consoles really started to offer good online gaming. So instead of being upset with crytek about dx11 or patches and glitches. Just go with console gaming instead. Most multiplatform games are made on xbox 360 and ported to pc and ps3. Yeah I know graphics aren't as good and blah blah blah, but you'll have less to worry about and it would be much easier. There is always some sort of bottlenecks to pc gaming. Plus slot of really good games are only on consoles. So make the switch. No since in getting a headache over. Btw I'm replying to the first page of this forum haven't read any other pages

Occasionally, it won't let me melee at all. I'll mash V and it doesn't work. I'll even remap it and still no luck.

I've also had occasions where I'll fire at a guy but since i'm behind cover, instead of the bullet (which should be flying for the npc) hitting my target, it hits the cover.



God i hate it when that happens....nice too see that some of us are sharing the same bugs (no melee sometimes in SP. And when your behind an enemy in stealth, they don't even give you the option to stealth kill). However there are soooo many different glitches (i experienced nine other significant ones), i have no clue how they are gonna fix all of them. Many of us find complete different bugs from what someone else might have found. I love this game but i don't want to stop playing it because of some lousy incompetence. Good god.

nice words but, really? i have an PS3 since 2007 and last time i turned it on was like 1 year ago... consoles are for hmm, let`s say noobs. you can`t enjoy the gamplay on that **** controller. and the graphics are crap too. but i guess that people who don`t want to spend 1000`s of dolars on computers it`s ok. now, the problem is that, in this particular case CRYTEK has 90% attention for consoles and the rest for PC users.

No DX11, no DX10 (even though the .dll is right there), no x64 (the leaked version had it)...
This is the second game from an EA shop that disappointed the hell out of me; and why?
PC GAME RUINED FOR CONSOLES!

Go to hell EA, go right to hell.

Oh, and Crytek: If you're so worried about piracy, try making a game worth buying. 'Cuz right now, quality != price. $60 bucks for this abortion? Go to hell.

I bought a copy for $60 for pc and one for my son for another $60 and I can't even play it at DX11.
EA and Cytec both are ignoring the issue. Do we have to go out and get a leeched version to play 64bit.
This is the last game I will buy first day from EA. I will play alternative means.
You could at least answer the question, If and When if Ever.

So i launched the game, went into multiplayer, went to gamesas, then clicked the redeem code thing. it closed my game and launch the browser like it should. Then it asks for me to login by clicking on top right sign in button. Did that, then when the page refreshed, it told me login to see the page. I checked my status on the top right, it said i was already logged in. Already attempted after deleting cookies, any help?
