I've been holding off with playing the damn game. An estimate on when the patch is out would be nice.. my patience is starting to run quite thin

C'mon Crytek it's time for another anouncement. Nearly 100 pages of nonsense now...

Patience my young Padawans!

Eish. Althought its great news, and thats what everyone asked for... confirmation, i am already obsessively checking these forums, and now its just going to be worse.

No really, i have a script refresing the page every 5 seconds, and displaying this on a alert monitor next to my pc while i play games.
Wow. You do realize that DX11 does zero for gameplay, and really is just to make the visuals look slightly better, and hopefully perhaps get a little better performance at the same time. So is it really THAT important in the grand scheme of things that you feel the need to have a script?

I just do not get some people's obsession with DX11. Yes, I will also definitely enjoy checking the game out in DX11, but the fact it did not ship with it had absolutely no ill affect whatsoever and me enjoying the game, and for that matter continuing to enjoy the game.

I just do not get it, and I am not new to PC gaming at all. Grand scheme of things? Is any game worth obsessing about in the Grand scheme of things...Dont mix in philosophy, stick to the topic. I can challenge anyone on philosophy and get on top but that is not my concern here. All I care about as far is crysis2 goes, is if the game is going to be optimized before its player base dies off. Im still on the fence waiting to buy the game ever since i played the demo...

You are on the fence about buying it and you think a minor improvement in visuals is going to sway you? Your philosophy is probably as bad as your coherency.

The playerbase is dwindling and DX11 wont change that. Sure some people will come back to try it out but Crytek is just polishing a turd. DX11 or not the game is riddled with bugs, balance problems and hackers are unchallenged.

player base is dying? well im going to be the last **** who will give up on this game... im sticking up till the end! yeah! Why am i sticking till the end? because this is one awsome game and graphics are really good comparing it to the **** ops or Bad company 2... its waay better then those 2 graphics combined. i dont even wanna start how good gameplay is TILL THE END CRYTEK IM STICKING UP WITH YE!!

Not sure if it's dwindling, I missed launch (came in a month late).. but only 2% of the servers have players on them... the ones that are there mostly stay full making it hard to get on a decent server sometimes, but there's a LOT of empty servers out there... which seemed odd to me.

and DX11 isn't going to do anything about it, if people are like me.. VERY frustrated with what seems either hackers or my modules not working like what I see in the "kill vids", or the kill vids are not really recording what the other player saw when they killed you. .. though, usually when I see what looks to me to be a "no recoil hack", it stays pretty consistent with just the few players I see it with while others show some screen shake consistently. ... and I have _never_ gotten the maxed out "aim enhance" to keep _any_ weapon completely still, but I see fully still weapons in replays about 30% of the time lately. If that's a hack, it really unbalances things especially at long range.

I apologize for repeating and may attract unwanted attention, but I still hope.

when? giving up soon, my new sli rig that I bought for this game is bored

I myself have been bored for a while. Although I plan to get back in when the DX11 patch comes out I am really hoping that it will be worth all the wait. I bought a new system for the DX11 features (not just in this game, but others as well). It svcks that a game as anticipated as this gets released without the features it was anticipated for but that is an old discussion and frankly has been beaten to death.

As for the DX11 patch I hope it comes sooner rather than later. There are other games on the horizon. I suppose it doesn't matter since they already got the money from those that have bought the game. I don't forsee too many others buying as most everyone jumped in and bought already. In fact I am willing to wager that most people claiming to be holding out in wait of DX11 are only saying that and have been playing the game already for just as long as the rest of us.

Yeah, I am pretty much done playing this game now. I have gone through on all the difficulty levels, and multi player is boring. Half the reason I play games like this is for the cool aliens, so anyway, I am done with this game, put a good 60 hours in. Thanks for the DX11...... not! I cant wait for Crysis 3 to come out so I can not buy it.

i'm guessing crytek is waiting for sponsorship money either from nvidia or ati.

hopefully it would just be in time for the hd7xxx and the gtx600s

the days of my gtx460 are numbered.

Are you kidding me about the gfx? Black-ops gfx are way better than this crap. BC2 is even better.

All I care about as far is crysis2 goes, is if the game is going to be optimized before its player base dies off. Im still on the fence waiting to buy the game ever since i played the demo...

Same here... I canceled my pre-order the after wasting two minutes with the demo... I still plan on buying the game, as long as they upgrade the textures, and add destructable environments, like it was showcased in the CryEngine3 tech demos. If not, I'm sure this thing will end up very soon in the under $10 bin...

To expect a sandbox environment like Crysis 1 is wishful thinking...

And based on the obvious negative attitude of a certain Mr Yerli toward PC gamers, the customers who spent millions of dollars buying his company's games over the last decade or so, I got the feeling we should not expect much from Crysis 3 either, if it even makes it to PC... What ticks me off most is not even the fact of them building the game for consoles, rather than lying to our face all the way up to launch day. Well, almost... Had they not released the demo, I would be $60 poorer today.

wtf!? black ops? seriously?

okay there buddy. Black ops has been using the same engine since like Modern Warfare 2 which is like what 2008? CryEngine 2 is better than that **** and it was made in 2007. Cryengine 3 in DX9 is better than CryEngine 2 in DX10 therefore better than Black Ops.

Now for BFBC2. That game graphics are massive ****. I can play it max like 60+fps on my 470 and I have the biggest **** bottleneck in the world. CPU: AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+
Crysis 2 I lag on Extreme 1680x1050 but thats DX9. Crysis 2 DX9 ON EXTREME LOOKS BETTER THAN BATTLEFIELD ON MAXIMUM DX11. As for Battlefield I play DX11, 1680x1050 and everything custom maxed, cant go any higher. Why 1680x1050? My screen max res is 1680x1050.

Think before you talk stupid **** hater


EDIT: I dont see google pointing out "Black ops or Battlefield Bad Company 2 vs Real Life" only Crysis 2 vs real life
in conclusion Crysis has realistic graphics.
I haven't played Battlefield 3 but I have seen the trailers, Crysis 2 in DX11 and Battlefield 3 are going to look amazing.

An update would be appreciated its been well over a month now? Holding off until dx11 is growing tiresome.

Black ops actually runs on the old IW Engine from MW 1 and even that was the EXACT same engine that was used for COD 2.
Which is then a licensed derivative of the IDtech engine.



Crysis 2 IMHO manages to look better than any IW engine game IMO.

And seriously people, You won't buy the game because it doesn't have UBER Textures or things you can just run around blowing up for no reason and adds very little to the game?

*shrug*

wtf!? black ops? seriously?

YES Of course seriously! !! Black Ops gfx are way better and BC2 on DirecX11 is even better - completely agree!

Black ops is not even in the same ballpark, or planet, as Crysis 2. Technically speaking Crysis 2 is light years ahead of Black ops. I have played both, and I must say you guys are smoking some wacky weed if you are thinking of even comparing the two. Go back and take a good look at Black Ops again, I am sure you will see my point. Whats sad is that Crysis 2 is crap compared to Crysis 1.

tbh I can not agree,your opinion is count as nothing when you can't back it up with facts. This engine's name is 'IW Engine' for both cod2, and blackops games, but it's not the 'EXACT' same engine that was used for COD2.. lol.. Engine is heavily modified when they used it for Word at war and again it's heavily modified to be used with Black Ops. IW engine is derived from Quake engines, but that doesn't mean that BO uses quake engine.. It's completely different.
This is how the engines derived,

maybe you haven't seen full graphics of both games. I've played both games with maxed out settings at 1080p and what I feel is crysis 2 sux. when you play it in a very high resolution crysis 2 is worse because it uses very low resolution textures (ok with consoles).
if you want I can post few screenshots of both games from a high end gaming rig. So you can compare yourself.

I have played them both with 100% maxed out graphics, a lot. Black ops also has **** textures that look like a cartoon, just like Crysis 2. But Crysis 2 has better lighting, better character models, that are not stiff when they move. Plus the character models in Black Ops have less detail, and look like cartoons. I admit that Crysis 2 graphics have been downgraded from Crysis 1, but Black Ops is in no way shape or form superior. I dare you to post a side by side comparison, because it will only prove my point.

Fot how long we'll have to wait for this DX11 patch? I thought it will take about month to make this patch but now I'm a bit anxious.
