Whahaha.

Think about it. Bad econominal times!
So i am glad my old AMD X2 with a cheap HD 5750 could run Crysis at EXTREME.

If you spend so mutch money on your rig why even complain about the 60 dollars for the game????????

I didn't. If you read my original post you'd see that I complained about the principal of this matter, considering what was advertised, and what we ended up with.

What did they advertise? That you needed a system with that specs?

Crytek did what thay promised. Only the "community" thought different things.

DX11 will be supported Nathan Camarillo said that.

"Crysis 2 will support DirectX 11 but we'll talk more about that in the future. There's an announcement coming soon about that."

http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/115/1153248p1.html

So basically, we're still waiting for this announcement, even now?

When did Nathan Camarillo actually say that? What's his idea of "soon"?

They didn't make you buy that.

So why did you NEED an i7 2600k over an i5 2500k and 8GB overpriced Vengeance RAM over generic 4GB Ram? Even if the game did support DX11, that is pointless for gaming.


Did you play Crysis 1 when it came out? Did it not need highend hardware to max it out? I expected the sequel to push the limit with graphics compared to the old one. Thats why.

Because I am 37 years old and have been gaming since Atari. But more specifically, I have been a PC GAMER SINCE APPLE II+. I am a hardcoe videogamer of consoles and pc's and when it comes to pc's I am a PC gaming ENTHUSIAST. That is why that hardware is available, to run the newest cutting edge games, and software.

Why do you think they invent this highend stuff? For their health?

A cheaper i5 2500k and 4gb of generic ram WILL max out Crysis, I know because that's what I played with. It will do the same for Crysis 2.

The i7 has hyperthreading which is useless for games, so you get no real advantage in Crysis because it does not utilise the 8 cores, and it runs in 32bit - DOES NOT ADDRESS MORE THAN 4GB.

You're own ignorance/stupidity caused your problem here.

The i7 with hyperthreading is for audio/video editors that need all possible cores running, not for gamers. It doesn't matter what developers promise, the higher end hardware caters to specific uses.


You are making assumptions. I shouldn't have to explain my whole situation, but here goes. I am a PC GAMER. I am also and Electronic Music Producer, and I also am an intermediate 3D Graphics designer. As the other gentleman stated, the I7 2600K is highly open for upping its speed, as well as overclocking. I work in 3D Studio, Adobe Photoshop, Premiere, Afteraffects, Reason 5.0, Adobe Audtion, and a whole slew of other non-gaming programs for music production and hobby 3D animation.

My pc before this upgrade was fine, but since Crysis 2 was coming out I chose to upgrade for it, and it would improve my current software performance as well.

I knew what I was doing when I bought this hardware.

Where is the **** DX 11 support ? Iam realy pissed. Oh yeah i bought C2 at realese and btw i have a life. BUT Crytek stands for state of the art technic specifiactaions and especialy grapichs.

There are many graphic failures in the pc version: wrong reflections, unsharp textures etc.

Oh well some of u are thinking "damn this game looks nice", ehm well did u play the first crysis ? This graphic in Crysis was like "omg iam blown away !!!"

And yeah c2 looks nice but could look even better on the PC. Or is here someone who trys to tell that I should accept the same graphics on my new PC hardware compared to someone who owns a 3 YEAR OLD XBOX 360 or PS3 ? I DONT THINK SO !!!!!

And the other reason is the pc gamers made crysis 2 possible cause crysis 1 was pc only ! We were the ones who spend our money in this project crysis and modded ur engine etc. and all we get is a simple console port based on 3 year old hardware.....

Iam really disappointed....

Then why are you complaining?

Earlier you claimed you upgraded just to play Crysis 2 which you in fact did not do...

Twisting my words much. That clearly says that MY PC WAS FINE BUT SINCE CRYSIS 2 WAS COMING OUT I CHOSE TO UPGRADE FOR IT, AND IT WOULD IMPROVE MY CURRENT SOFTWARE PERFORMANCE AS WELL.

I did not upgrade for my current software, I upgraded for Crysis 2. Since I was upgrading I knew my current software would be improved as well. I did not feel the need for the upgrade until a few weeks before Crysis 2. The additional speed to the other programs would be icing on the cake.


Don't get me wrong though. I LOVE the new hardware and performance. But I HATE Crysis 2 not using it.

What is the point of this thread? CryTek owes you nothing.. I will admit that I am fairly disappointed in the fact that DirectX11 wasn't supported at release but who cares? It's a great game and when the time comes all of the eye candy will be there..

CryTek obviously has a pretty good damn reason why they pushed back DirectX11 support and you biching and moaning about it on their forums doesn't solve anything because THEY OBVIOUSLY KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE UPSET DIRECTX11 SUPPORT ISN'T HERE YET. DURR DUH DURR.

There's hundreds of threads, go ahead.. use the search feature and check it out.

What is the point of us to keep upgrading to this new technology, spending all of this money, when the companies that motivated us to do so, STOP supporting the new pc hardware and turn more and more to consoles?
You spent the money for technology to play Crysis 2, and bought stuff that wouldn't help in the first place, but you didn't buy that hardware specifically for Crysis 2...but are complaining because Crysis 2 doesn't need your expensive hardware...

Their good reason is that they probably wanted more money and to make an easier game. Built for a console, ported over. No additional features to pc version.

Get a clue idiot.

Good, I hope they do know. Cause the more they hear us bich about it, the more they will see that we are passionate enough about their game and they will push the DX11 support. I'm not complaining that its not out now, I am complaining of the possibility of it not coming at all. Hey if they annouche the DX11 support, then I'm all for it. But as of now, even the possibility of it is in the air.

I don't even care if they didn't add DX11 yet, but more so if it can support standards that are owed to the entire industry such as advanced graphics options and DX10. The last time I saw a DX9 only AAA title at launch was around 4 years ago before when everyone in the industry actually had standards and put in the features we are missing now from the game right from the get go on launch day. You can be assured that if you don't complain about this, the industry will use every single bit of its power to move us away from having standards like we get from this game here. Who is to say then they can't start charging for advanced graphics menu and DX11?

Yes, I upgraded to a...wait for it........MSI N560 GTX-Ti......wait for it............DIRECTX 11 CARD.........and Crysis 2 is.......wait for it..........DIRECTX 9 THOUSANNDDDD!!!!!! lol

Why are you using this forum? The only thing I've seen come from you is replies that flame or are just plain worthless that add nothing to the discussion.

I never once said anything insulting to you or anybody else and yet you call me an idiot?

And how do you know that's their reasoning behind it? They've received so much support from the PC gaming community.. do you really think that they're just going to say "Hey **** you PC gamers you're worthless to us now".. Why would they? Do you think they couldn't of released a console version a long time ago?

Sure it's a **** console port but there's a thing called "patches".. not sure if you've ever heard of them but what they do is they add stuff to the game at a later time, fix bugs, etc.

They've already confirmed that they're going to release a patch that will allow us to edit advanced graphic options and I'm sure it's just a matter of time until they release patches that clean out all of the bugs, and DirectX11.

PPL upgrade cos they want to play a certain game in full glory. Crysis 2 was supposed to the next gen graphics from outer space. Nvidia and AMD push certain games because they help them to sell more cards. Y should ppl upgrade from dx10 cards to dx11 cards unless they have a reason to. Crysis 2 was the reason. When the rumor about lack of dx11 first surfaces all the crytek fanboys assured that there will be day 1 patch. But that turned out to be false.

I myself though it would be retarded that crytek would do such a d!ck move. Overall Nvidia should sue crytek for not delivering dx11 because I am pretty sure they gave them $2 million to support it otherwise y would have I upgraded to 570 from 260?

I am also aware that dx11 wont make the game suddenly look good, but I expected that much from crytek. Some hi rez textures would also be nice.

PPL who dont care about dx11 should not look down upon ppl who want it. Everybody has a right to play the game the way they want to. And inclusion of dx11 dont not effect anyone without dx11 card or who dont want dx11

Flame me, troll me, I don't care. Within the last 3 weeks I spend over $1000 to upgrade my rig to be able to play Crysis 2 in all its maxed out glory. To say the least I am PISSED that they have sold out to the consoles on the sequel.

I originally did minor upgrades to my old rig and bought an 8800GT for Crysis 1. Loved the game so much I played it at fairly low framerates of 15+ to play it maxed out as it became one of my favorite games of all time. Then got Warhead and have played the hell out of both games since.

Since the new game was coming, and NVIDIA and Crytek pushed Crysis 2 as best graphics ever, promoting the new gpu's and this damn game, I went all out to make sure I could play part 2, and even my old Crysis games in their DX10, and DX11 goodness.

Its bad enough Crysis 2 is so full of console-specific gameplay and environment changes that it totally has changed the original format, but that is fine, at LEAST give us something to push the hardware that we have invested in. Not to mention us diehard fans of your first games have supported you up to this point.

Yes, I said you OWE it to us because we have made investments to support your company and your software. We know the console sales will give you the revenue you need to keep going as a company, but as a fan who has supported you since Farcry 1, I can't help but feel betrayed if you do not keep to your roots and bring the support that got you to where you are today.

I'm right there with you. Actually ever since Far Cry 1 I've chased after the most spectacular hardware in order to get the full experience. And I've kept it up ever since because I was looking forward to seeing what the next thing they pulled out of theyre hat. And since beeing baffled by destructible enviroments and such graphical goodness in Crysis 1 I was expecting them to to push the envolope on graphics yet again with Crysis 2 but they just mislead us to think we were gonna see the glorious new generation of graphics but instead we get squat in that matter. They pissed on us and we hopelessly throw our money at them not being able to grasp how theyr scheme really tricked us. It's a shame and its not the way it should be. Crytec has officially sold the hell out.

And to you snotfaced 12yo not knowing what graphical goodness is; play pacman for 20minutes then play Crysis 1 on enthusiast and note down the difference and know that that leap in technology had us waiting for 27 years and now after waiting aproximetly 4 years for crysis 2 from 1 they turn back the graphical year to aprox. 2004\2005 while we were actually expecting graphics that could last for 10years+

not to be an ass but they dont owe you anything. I bought and built a whole new rig (not for crysis 2 though) and it costed 1800 dollars, and I dont give a rats @ss about DX11. Why? They have bigger problems with the game like hackers, connection problems, bugs and glitches and many other things. Some people cant even play the game properly and your complaining about graphics. Also the whole "original fans" elitist idea is nothing more than a fanboy excuse, be a bit more humble next time. Plently of people who have it worst than you in this game.

whats really sad is that Cry-Tom and Cry-Brad, or what ever those names are, will never ever respond to any of this and don't give a ****, because money is king. Who cares about the vary people that made this game possible. They are like rock stars that lived at their parents house for 10 years, and then when they finally get big they just say **** you to their parents. The entire PC community feels betrayed by this game, Linear game play and low texture detail are two things that no one in the community would have suspected would come out of Crytek. Ultimately Crytek will fail because of this, you cant piss off your base community and live long. Its basic politics.

Cry-whatever doesnt answer anymore because he cant afford to say more bs to us. They have to weight every sentence before posting, They tought we would just eat it whitout complaining. I dont think so. They are probably workin on some"backup plan/little something for the graphics-lovers user base". But what they done whit this game, they would probably do 2x whit theyre next game. Once you go the path of the "omg multyplatform ports= moar money" you cant turn back.

dx11 isn't going to change how much this game svcks. An improvement maybe, but that's it.
