I have always loved Crytek and have purchased all your games day 1, but wisely held off on a purchase due to DX11 rumours which turned out to be true.

Crytek - please atleast give your community some information... Holding off on information like this to your community is devastating to sales - I know it influenced mine!

The day this game rolls out with a DX11 patch to give my GTX 570 a real work out, is the day I will purchase your title and feel proud to do so. While my $60 might not be much, I can assure you I'm not alone about holding off on a purchase before some real PC features hit.

Heck, I don't even have a monetary investment in this game, I can't believe how the community feels that have paid already and are desperately asking for any information partaining it and it's features.

Many questions come to mind, it is incredibly harmful to not only keep us in the dark about this, but delete threads asking for information. I havent posted in a while, but Jesus, I've been reading the problems and its practically a massacre of desperation here. Give us anything to wait on with news! The littlest bit of news is better than nothing.

Will Crysis 2 have DX11 added at a later date?
Is DX11 support currently being worked on?
What DX11 features can we expect?

And on a side note, some other questions that are nagging me:

Information/ETA on v1.2?
x64 executable for the future?
Sandbox 3 release in the future?
Less restriction on the developer console?
Public Dedicated Servers?
Texture pack that will use basics like Parallax Occlusion Mapping?
Advanced Graphic Options?

------------------------------


Crytek, please give this community anything to consider about concerning DX11... This total silence is deafening. Just a simple nod of "yes, we are currently in the process of developing DX11 support and will possibly be patched in for Crysis 2", would work wonders for the community. Be honest with us and we will surely understand the situation you are in.

Anyway, as an incentive Crytek, keep in mind that a good DX11 patch will ensure my $60, and I'm sure the money of hundreds of thousands of other enthusiast gamers out there. Just any information at this point would calm the nerves here! Don't hurt your faithful community. I can deal with bugs and glitches on release day, but an issue as huge as DX11 support has prevented a purchase from me.

Keep your community informed Crytek, and please take your time to bring the PC version of this game up to speed with the others. I will proudly add this title to my row of Crytek games I already have once it is patched to a proper game, but just keep your community informed and developing lengthy things like this will be much easier - this is not something to rush.

Anyway, I can't imagine how people who bought the game expecting DX11 feel, I do know that adding this will improve sales and just don't keep us in the dark... The hostility here is much more detrimental to the game than any half dozen developer words spoken on adding DX11 support could ever do.

Wait you purchased HAZE, i didnt really think anyone bought that game

Wait you purchased HAZE, i didnt really think anyone bought that game

No, that was made by Free Radical, which I personaly don't have much love for. I am only interested in Crysis 2's Singleplayer.

Crytek titles:

Far Cry (2004) [Developer: Crytek Frankfurt/Publisher: Ubisoft]

Crysis (2007) [Developer: Crytek Frankfurt/Publisher: EA]

Crysis Warhead (2008) [Developer: Crytek Budapest/Publisher: EA]

-----------------------------------

Possible purchase:

Crysis 2 (2011) [Developer Crytek Frankfurt & Crytek Nottingham/Publisher: EA]

Free Radical was not affiliated with Crytek when they created Haze, they were instead partnered with Ubisoft.

Please give us some information Crytek... This is killing the community.

The responsibility with the lack of information most likely lies with the publisher, not the developer. I suggest you contact EA, since the promotional content clearly had DX11 listed and they are responsible for distribution.

Don't waste your time asking this question here, you will not get an answer until an official announcement is made.

Please don't bump your threads.

As per the other hundreds of threads regarding this, unfortunately we have no information to release at the moment. Any announcements will be easily found at the top of forums, in news posts, on the main page, etc. An announcement of that size is not going to make it's debut as a reply post in a thread. Asking the same question repeatedly is not going to magically make an answer appear, as unfortunate as that may be.

keeping the pc community in the dark about having dx11 or not is not a smart idea at this point.

As I have said before in other posts, and no doubt why Crytek wont respond to DX11 is because you cant patch a DX9 game to be a native DX11 game.

It does not work that work. The game was built using DX9 from the ground up. For it to become DX11, it would have to be rebuilt, not patched.

Sorry to burst bubbles as so many people seem to be mega excited about waiting for the DX11 "patch" which frankly... Is not going to happen in the way most people seem to think.

I hate saying this, but the sales figures are:
14% PC
57% 360
29% PS3

Despite that these numbers only indicate store-bought purchases, it pretty much indicates that the community is no longer us, but the 360 players. Which is just about the most depressing thing I've seen in a while, but it's true. Because of sales, EA, and by extension Crytek, is likely to start giving preferential treatment to the 360 "fanbase".

That's pathetic.
At least state whether or not DX11 is coming..

How on Earth you guys went from Crysis warhead (Which is an amazing game) to this p.o.s I'll never know..

No. Do not under estimate how many sales steam has had. Much more than retail. Those percents are not accurate, I am sure. Our voice counts just as well as any other. selling 100,000 pc units is still making 6 mill.

I think its unfortunate that most people didn't buy crysis 2 who ARE pc owners because they knew it was going to be a port. I know a few people who think the game is a joke and refuse to buy it. (avid pc elitists). So. It's cryteks fault for making a console port. If we really are the lowest % in terms of sales then its no ones fault but cryteks.

We're not asking for a reply in this thread. We're asking for a reply in the form of an official announcement. To say that you guys know nothing about DX11 is a complete falsehood. You guys obviously know something, even if it's that there won't be any DX11. All we want is to have confirmation of this in either way (preferably, that Crysis 2 will support it). There's a good reason that so many hundreds of threads exist.

Even if you guys came out and said "There isn't any future DX11 support planned", it would pretty much answer every single thread. You may have to deal with some flamers with threads like "U GUYS LIED" (etc.), but the community would, for the most part, calm down.

It's the clarification that we want rather than the support itself.

be sure that Crytek has lost most PC sales because of lack of DX11 and characteristics of PC, it is to read forums and from friends of mine, and if rectified on time is possible that PC sales rise, I know

"Asking the same question repeatedly is not going to magically make an answer appear, as unfortunate as that may be." For ~$60 Fkin dollars you better give us something. I bought Crysis 2 for the PC and got a product that has several year old graphics(xbox 360) not to mention its a poorly disguised port. If i tried some BS like what you all are doing in a company, I would be fired. Sure one gets a lot more money from console game sales but you lose the rep of the PC gaming community. PCs are the future where as consoles can't be upgraded and are stuck with past tech. I can understand being told not to give us any information yet by someone, but whoever that is, is a moron and only adding fuel to the fire and if you can't see that then you are part of the problem as well. We all had a basic level of expectation from this game and for $60 we got a subpar product. Are you guys at crytek mad as we are? I would be pissed for shipping a product like this given past performance. We are angry, this is obvious, why don't you all show you care and get your balls back from whoever is holding them for you and step up and give us the answers we deserve.

How about your company just gives us a little bit of information then, as opposed to never saying a f@"king word even though people are crying out for any kind of a sign that you lot are listening to us and going to actually do something about all these issues.

The constant refrain of "we have no information to release at this moment" does absolutely nothing but increase the frustration levels among us. We want to know that things are noticed and being dealt with, yet we get ZERO in the way of information out of this company. It's not frickin' rocket science, just give people a clue that you're doing something and that some of these issues will be fixed.

Not just the lack of dx11 but no dx10 or 64bits support...

It is unlikely to be your call, but on what planet sits the guy who thinks that it is the optimal solution to say nothing? Is it because nobody actually knows if anything will be done?

PS. Public relations gotta be the most ungrateful job in the world ;P

this is generally true for pr vs console gaming, not only for crysis 2.

most sales go to consoles ...

just look on youtube .. most "pro"gaming channels cast their gameplay via consoles.

The announcement "makes it's debut" considering the level of anticipation thats a strangely apt way of putting it.

Newsflash, ignoring your customers repeated requests for information is not going to magically increase your sales or improve public opinion, as unfortunate as that may be. It may however result in my copy of Crysis 2 being magically returned to the store. Worst PR ever

While I have to say I'm still highly disappointed by the lack of communication. Crytek are starting to make up for it. We know now that there will be a patch later on this week and in all honesty that's good enough for me at this point. Any communication with solid info is good communication to me. At least we are getting a bug fix patch. As long as I can play the game with raging every 10 minutes I'm fine on waiting for DX11 and sandbox editor for awhile. After all if you can't play the game decently enough DX11 won't do a damn bit of good.

crytek isn't making up for anything. These patches "fixes" rofl, these "fixes" should have been released with the retail game from the get-go.

UPDATE: EA has issued Eurogamer with a statement on the matter, adding further confusion to the status of DirectX 11 support for Crysis 2.
"We have not made any official announcements about a patch yet," an EA spokesperson said.


So, not yet
