Is Crytek even trying?

Post » Sun May 22, 2011 11:12 pm

I'm still having problems with my online stats, single player and a couple of times I've had the problem where I just simply can not log into the multiplayer. The most annoying problem is when I first got the game two days ago, I have the limited edition so first thing I did was install, play some singleplayer, then make my gamesas account and unlock my redeemables.

I like many gamers enjoy having my stats neat and tidy and using specific items ingame, weapons, attachments etc. So I used only four items and gained only four levels. I used the SCAR, Hologram attachment that came with it, Melee and hand grenades. That was it. I logged off and came back a couple of hours later to find that my stats had been scrambled, unlock points had been used (even though I did not unlock anything myself) like the Jackal was randomly unlocked and the holographic sight even though I had 0 kills with it?

My kills had been cut more than half and my deaths had been more than doubled, either someone hacked me or this is just rediculous that the game is doing this. Not only that the complaint form thing doesn't even work so I have to post it directly on the forums! Also since this has happened while I've been 'waiting' for the Crytek team to say ANYTHING to me, I decided to put up with it until I hear from them and I've encountered the invalid serial key error and then after rebooting not get it, random checkpoints in singleplayer, after coming back after completed a bit the first time I played I came back to it being further ingame how far I don't know.

The list goes on and never ends it seems, not to mention the hackers online. I hope that someone from Crytek will get back to me soon about this problem whether it be through the forums or through email or PM whatever just help me someone I'm either going to have to go back to Wal mart about it or just simply take it up with Crytek, I didn't pay sixty dollars for a hastle I'm sure I can get that for free somewhere else.

No one on these forums understands how game development works and then rant about how their ~dream game~ isn't bug free 2 weeks after it came out.

It's not like they can flick a switch and make it all better. They do want to fix the problems and it takes a lot of work.

It's not that they're failing it's just that this game was released about 3 months to early.

An Extra 3 months would have probly resulted in DirectX 11. Thats about it. Developing for PC is a very hard thing to do in this day and age due to all the different manufacturers and types of hardware in a PC, versus a set hardware specification when it comes to a console.

I understand game development and how it works, but I'm speaking particularily in not seeing an admins face or a support staffs comments on these forums asking what they can do to make it better, and that's what they need to be doing.

I can do without DX11 for now they need to get the game they have already created polished and not so, ironically, undeveloped. All I asked for was an admin or support staff to contact me in any way to address my problem, but that could be weeks.

The second I let EA be a part in the making and distributing of my dream game is the second that this world explodes. Crysis 2 is something I looked forward to after playing Crysis and Warhead, not a part of my wank bank.

Yeah creating a PC game is hard with all of the current variables in computers today. From what I saw from my game was that they didn't even try to make it for a PC, its a console game through and through, PC just has a **** port with better graphics. They didn't even seem to go through it, so many little things and big ones as well that should have been left on the xbox or PS somehow ended up on the computer version. I am very disappointed with their work on the game. It would have been so much better if they had just updated the first crysis and given it another plot. Then dumb it down for consoles, not the other way around.

That does make sense Sand. But I'm not calling the game a fail really, just the service in which Crytek is providing to solve the problems we've encountered.

A game is never perfect at release obviously. but the least they could do is have some sort of anti-cheat security before the game is released? yeah that sounds like a smart move on my part.

Its a PC game people are going to svck and want an upper advantage.

People start hacking and screw even more people over,

those people get pissed and start hacking too..

It's getting really bad....

Honestly though, AntiCheat would do very little. It might stop hackers for a day at most. Punkbuster is a joke and one of the easiest AntiCheats to bypass

So what's your guys' guess at an ETA of when an admin or support staff will show their face in this crazy mob with torches and AK's we call a forum?

Would be a while I think. The guy spamming the other forum subsection (I think it was the site one?) still has yet to get his spam deleted.

EA has been getting on my nerves lately with all this serial code bull too, why can't I just have my gamer ID and that's it? I shouldn't need to have everything linked to my hotmail I enjoy the PS3 and some other stuff for being able to make new characters because when I get max rank and have NOTHING left to do with the game it ruins it, making a new guy is fun. But now to do it it's a hastle and costs you extra money.

EA has turned the gaming community into a big whore who they sell out over and over again just to make some money rather than to keep us happy, I thought that's why video games were around to relax and have fun? Not rip the Jesus hair out of your head over.

I am really excited for Battlefield 3, but if EA keeps disappointing us with Dragon Age 2, Vietnam, verious sports games and sadly Crysis in which they did a very good job with on the first one and Warhead I might not buy Battlefield 3 let alone pre order, I loved Battlefield 2, I mean it seems to me lately that their so called sequels are just a money grab.

This is also the reason behind a lot of peoples' problems with logging into the ingame servers and what not, so many serial keys and yet no reason for them, just so that they can make more money that's it. No other company is doing it.

The main problem isn't that they released a game clearly before it was ready, the problem is the absolute silence of the development team or executive leadership at Crytek. They may be working 24 hours a day on the PC version, but they don't seem to realize they've long spent up the remaining goodwill they had from their previous successes. Dragon Age 2 is another recent megalaunch that had its fair share of huge problems and questionable directorial decisions, but no one has really gotten too emo about it because at almost every step of the way, one of the actual devs or designers has personally assured the wronged buyers that they were working to fix the problem, giving insight into the process and including the customers, and (maybe most of all) defending their work and the decisions that were made. For example, a lot of PC users were very upset about the lack of an updated Toolset, similar to the lack of a Sandbox 3 from Crytek. People are overall cutting Bioware slack, however, in contrast to the continued outrage on the issue with Crytek. Bioware has shown that they care about the product, so people are willing to trust that they are working to address real concerns. Despite the heroic efforts of the community managers here, Crysis 2's actual developers have done exactly zilch to assure us that they are aware of our concerns and are working to fix them, or that they disagree with our concerns and stand by their actions. Instead they are apparently content to leave the communication to the forum reps, AND to not even communicate to THEM what they're up to, essentially abandoning them to the raging mob while at the same time letting them do all the troubleshooting groundwork.

Maybe it's not a universal ideal, but I believe in personal responsibility. That is the issue I have here, not that yet another game was released unfinished.

Like I said before to even get a response from someone on the developers side of this would be easing, I mentioned before how troubling it is to not see a face or a comment from anybody working on this game and working on this games recovery. But I can't help but also be upset over them abandoning such a good game, because don't get me wrong it is an excellent game IMO but they've just got to do something about all of the little bugs that any other company would have had taken care of in the Beta stages of it's progress.

Wow, my post didn't go through. Lame.

Anyways, I played BC2 for a over a year, 500+ hours and saw less than 10 hackers in that time. Contrary to popular belief Punkbuster does work and is actively updated.

Now it seems like when I play MP I get booted from every match saying I have been disconnected from the EA or Crytek servers whatever the one, and when I play SP after a few minutes it freezes on me, any suggestions? I've tried multiple times on both game types and it nevers fails to freeze in SP or boot in MP.
