Post » Wed Dec 09, 2009 6:44 pm

HI! I know I posted this once but that was before I was done with the fail convo.

Here is the entire conversation:

[I am the numbers and the operators are represented by names]

2251959872: the game freezes the entire PC on start
Simon: Hi
Simon: okay
Simon: ca nyou please provide me me these information ?
Simon: Can*
Simon: In order to best troubleshoot your issue, I would need to take a look at your system information. To provide me your system information, you would need to run “Directx Diagnostic tool” by following the below given steps: - ? Go to Start -> Run. ? In the box, type the following: dxdiag ? Click "OK" ? Click the "Save All Information" button on the first screen of the application. ? Then on top of the "Save As" box that pops up, select Desktop (if it's not set to save there already), then click Save. ? Once you have saved the file, click on the “Attach File” link and send the file to me.

Hi, my name is Samantha S.. How may I help you?
Samantha S.: Please give me a moment while I review the Chat Log so that I can understand exactly what the issue you are having is today and the troubleshooting steps that have already been done. Your time is very valuable to me and I do not want to waste it by doing troubleshooting steps we have already followed through with.
2251959872: hi!
2251959872: my issue in short: The game crashes my PC on start
2251959872: The game beeing Crysis 2
Samantha S.: Thanks for that debriefing. I do understand how frustrating this issue must be and I am going to do everything I can to get this fixed up for you.
2251959872: thank you
2251959872: so...
Samantha S.: Ok so when you say crashes on start, does it get through the launcher? Does it shut down the entire computer or just crash to desktop? Does it just freeze?
Samantha S.: Does it not start at all?
Samantha S.: Does it give you an error message?
2251959872: the game starts, shows me the Crytek Banner, then another Crytec banner, then the EA banner and then the entire PC freezes... I cant do anything and I am forced to disconnect the powercable to shut it down...
Samantha S.: Oh... Hmmm... Are you playing from a disk or digital download?
2251959872: disc
2251959872: have you taken a look at the Crysis 2 forums? If you have you would have noticed that ALL the players on the PC are having issues
Samantha S.: I could set you up with a digital download of the game and you can just uninstall and reinstall from the EADM?
2251959872: I already activated my disc @ EADM
Samantha S.: We've had a lot of people having issues with the LE codes.
2251959872: and I tried downloading it
2251959872: the code is working
2251959872: it wasnt until the recent patch that the game stopped working
Samantha S.: And I know the development team is working on another patch for it to fix the LE codes
Samantha S.: But that's not your issue
2251959872: the Single player was functioning but not the Multiplayer so thwn Crytek decided to update the game the game stopped working and crahed my entire PC
2251959872: I have already activated my code so...
2251959872: I have this link you should really check out to understand the issue
Samantha S.: Alright send it over.
2251959872: http://www.gamesas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=10918
2251959872: My issue is similar except that in my case the launcher actually start but it crashes before it reaches the main menu
2251959872: freezes up the entire PC
Samantha S.: Have you tried this? "I opened the DVD in explore mode, double clicked crysis2.exe in the bin32 folder and input my CD key. After that I copy pasted crysis2.exe from the bin32 folder on the DVD to the bin32 folder on my hard drive. I had to copy and replace because there was already a crysis2.exe there. After that it launched."
2251959872: yes, it worked a few times but not anymore
2251959872: now it doesnt matter if I replace the EXE because for some reason it will still crash
Samantha S.: Hmmph. Well I also see on this forum post where Crytek has acknowledged this issue and will be working on it.
2251959872: Crytek havent been doing ****....
2251959872: They wanted to fix the MP and crashed the game
2251959872: Sop, is there anything you can do from your end?
2251959872: except waiting?
Samantha S.: Let me do some further research into this issue. Did it give you an option to download the patch later?
2251959872: no
2251959872: althou there should be an easy workaround
Samantha S.: Yeah...
2251959872: all you need to do is to make a shortcut on your desktop and pointing it straight to the Crysis.exe instead of the launcher.exe
2251959872: however for me, not even that is working...
Samantha S.: ):
2251959872: well..
2251959872: so I guess I have to wait until Crytek have finished their champagne and noticed the problem....
Samantha S.: Yeah I'm sorry I can't be of more assistance here. Are you in the US?
Samantha S.: Customer are you there?
Samantha S.: If I don't receive a response from you within 2 minutes I will be disconnecting the chat.
2251959872: im not in the US
2251959872: sorry about that
Samantha S.: It's ok. Where are you located?
2251959872: no I am in Sweden
Samantha S.: Oh ok.
Samantha S.: Did you have any other questions today?
2251959872: yeah, do you guys have any Idea at all if DX11 will come to Crysis 2??
Samantha S.: I couldn't give you a definite answer on that. I know it's in the works, but I don't know a date.
2251959872: ok thanks!!!
Samantha S.: Anything else?
2251959872: nape
2251959872: *no
Samantha S.: Great, well thanks for chatting with me and I was glad I was able to help you. You should be getting a survey in your e-mail for our chat and if you could fill that out it would be great. I will also be sending you an e-mail with the chat log in it. Have a great day!
2251959872: thank you!

She was competent at least, I can respect that. I can't imagine not seeing dx11 implementation in the future, I just don't understand why not just keep your integrity, make an announcement beforehand saying it will be a later date, and then deal with less negativity than what there is now.

Agreed, the fact that Crytek has been ignoring the issue thus far, makes me a bit skeptical.

@ Aervalis

Crytek should have done that but instead they decided to hype up the game and promise us PC users some goodies (advantages over console dudes and dudettes). However the fact that a EA tech-support operator said that they might be working on it is still not a 100% confirmation.
They maybe looking at their options in DX11 since a DX11 implentation requires new shaders atc to utilize the extra power available.

She doesn't know anything about DX11. She's telling you that "it's in the works" to keep you happy. She doesn't know anything more than we do about DX11.

This is exactly right. These people are working jobs and can't spend alot of time on each issue, or they get in trouble. She was telling you what you wanted to hear to get you 'off the line'. At least she was helpful in general. But honestly guys, stop hoping for this magic fix. 1) even if they patch it, they can only do so much since it wasn't designed for dx11 from the ground up. and 2) they removed it as a listed feature from both nvidias site and the cryengine 3 site. They want to sell this engine to other game companies. They want every feature listed and availble. Pulling it means something isn't working right. Don't hope for a magic dx11 patch. The game is good, pretty good looking, not as good as others, or crysis 1 in my opinion, but not bad. It is what it is, if you don't like it, that svcks. If you do, great, you have a good game
