Extreme/Maximum Extreme Settings? : Crysis

» Fri Jun 03, 2011 5:00 am

It's pretty funny that a lot of people still think that Crysis 2 will look like the Multiplayer demo. I mean couldn't it be that Crytek downgraded the look of the Multiplayer mode just to make the game run smoother? Think about it.
In such a fast paced Multiplayer you need a stable number of frames so you can react whenever you need to (react really really fast. Modern Warfare players know what i'm talkin about). If the game lags like s*** than you'll die all the time. So what Crytek does is they let the multiplayer mode look **** but everybody is able to run the game smoothly. However, I think the Singleplayer will look phenomenal. I'm pretty sure it will (I pray for it

)

They shouldnt be downgrading multiplayer if the game is made to scale with hardware. if you need more FPS in multiplayer then lower your settings. What about the people with good PCs who want to play at maximum graphics at 60 FPS rather than at 'toned down mplayer graphics' at 120 fps? It is so people who cant run it at the best settings during multiplayer dont feel butthurt? Because thats the only logical reason i see here.

In this day and age, reducing multiplayer graphics is pretty stupid, especially since multiplayer is supposed to create longevity for the game.

Could you imagine if bf3 did that? lol.

that would be awesome!

kick your girlfriend away, it's crysis time!

LOL.. Dude, you make laugh hard..

Well this pretty much confirms that the demo wasnt just a 360 port, but actually the PC version.

People kept saying blah blah its a port thats why its not that good, thats why it says press start, etc. But looks like the 'patch' that he downloaded which changed the menu wording indicates that the demo WAS the PC version and not just an "xbox port" like all the noobs thought.

What a shame. Doesnt hurt to say "i told you so".

Wow...then what the hell is VeryHighSpec in the CFG files??

Good is LowSpec
Very Good is MedSpec
Extreme is HighSpec
But there is clearly a VeryHighSpec there...why won't they let us use it? In the beta it was possible to enable it through cfg mods, it had a lot more polygons than HighSpec and ran a lot worse, not sure what else it did.

So WHY WONT CRYTEK LET US USE IT NOW??

ME WANS VERY HIGH!

Well i just remember Splinter Cell used to do that. And because i still believe Crysis 2 will look awesome i can't believe that the demo was the best they showed us. Plus, with "downgrading" i mean reducing the texture quality of something like floor textures or something like that. I mean that is the reason why people keep biching around. Play the game you're not ought to **** the floor got it?

Probably cant use it until dx11. Dx11 patch log -> "enables DX11 support and advanced features, very high graphics"

Someone try this:

Hey I know how to use cfg files to enable Very High Settings (they were there in the beta...try it).

In system.cfg, add this:

Code:

sys_spec=4

And then add a veryhighspec.cfg in the root folder for Crysis 2 (or whatever folder system.cfg is in)

And in this file add (probably won't make a huge difference because they're waiting for the DX11 patch to enable it), but try it anyway. raqed my frame rate in the beta.
