Hello, i,m from Spain, CRYTEK has got my 66.90€, when they think to repair this nasty bug?

Just wanted to say that the grain glitch is happening to me as well. Super annoying, and it makes me want to stop playing the game until it's fixed. How in the world did Crytek ever miss this bug? And I'm also annoying at all the reviews that I've read...not one of them mentions anything about this. They all rave about how good the graphics are, but they're actually pretty bad with this stupid grain glitch. Need a fix asap.

I do have a question for everyone that is being affected by this bug...do you guys have the game installed on the xbox hard drive or are you running the game from the game disc? I definitely think that it's an issue with the game, but I did want to rule out if installation to the hard drive is causing any issues. I have the game installed on the hard drive.

I've tried installed and off the disk. It makes absolutely no difference with the glitch.

I really wish they would release a hot-fix for this bug. I have had the game since it came out, but I can't play it with that bug. Passed it once and now it's just collecting dust until they fix this glitch. It's really bumming me out that the "best graphics on console" are broken and Crytek has yet to do anything about it. (returns to waiting for patch)

How about posting some pictures so we can see what you guys are seeing. Take a high resolution photo and zoom in on the problem so we can see it in finer detail.

We all have different taste in picture quality and different TV's. Maybe the ones experiencing this graphical bug is actually seeing sharpness artifacts from their TV? Try turning sharpness down on TV to see if it reduces the effect? It's hard to picture what you're seeing through words.

Please post some pictures.....

Read through the thread and you will find video and pics. Look it up.

Thanks NOSAVIOUR! Cleaning my xbox's cache worked a charm. Anyone else tried this yet?

Old news, one of the first things I tried. Fixes nothing. It will seem fixed, but keep playing, eventually the glitch will return. I have tried everything you can with the Xbox to troubleshoot and their is nothing anyone can do about it other than Crytek.

I just took a look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8d_CHC5fXc0. I'll have to take a look tonight when I get home.

That is exactly the bug that this thread and all these people posting here are experiencing. Good find with that vid. Easiest to see in nanovision when it occurs.

Hey do any of you guys know if the XBOX 360 version has use of the LPV Global Illumination Crytek made for Crysis 2?

Just want to know how exactly their real time GI is working on the 360 as opposed to the pc.

Thanks!

Are the dev's even reading their own forums? Did they play test this thing? This glitch is absolutely inexcusable, 3/4 into the game and I've had to stop as the graphics look f*cking awful with those wavy lines going across the screen.

How the hell did they miss this? With this many people complaining I am amazed a glitch like this exists in this day and age.

For anyone wondering if its "meant" to be there, no it isn't, its a definite glitch and once its activated even replaying older missions means its in there as well, absolutely infuriating, especially when we aren't being told there is a fix on the way.

And may I also take this opportunity to say hey Lorenzo, SHUT THE **** UP.

Just downloaded a patch as of today (March 31, 2011) and it did not fix the grain bug issue. I am not using this product until this bug is fixed and it's absurd that companies like EA and Crytek put out unfinished buggy products and expect their consumers to just swallow it. Lesson learned EA/Crytek, I will never buy any of your products on day one ever again.

I think this is quite ridiculous that a game that prides itself on its engine and visuals is suffering from this terrible grain effects. I should have to do some "work around" to make it look good. The developers should address this issue and let the consumer know that they have identified the issue and are working on something (hopefully). I can not play this game when it looks so bad. Until Crytek fixes this issue I will not play the game. Please fix!

I have fallen victim to this new graphics glitch last night...Looks awful...and ruining the experience for me.
Would this be caused from the cd printing stage?

Well said GameScares. Also, I can't believe none of the reviews mentioned this.

Thanks, and yeah very strange how this hasn't been more widely reported...

It looks like the glitch is locked into your save game file, so that means deleting it and starting the game from scratch, but there's no way I'm doing that for it to rear its ugly head again until I know this has been addressed and a patch fixes it.

Until then I simply can't continue playing.

Where are you Crytek? The fact you aren't responding to this massive thread is very worrying.

I just read this from another site's forums:

"Just go replay the very first mission up untill the point you gain control of Alcatraz in the sub. Then just restart the mission you were on. Problem solved."

Is there any confirmation from anyone whose tried it...I'm at work atm...so I can't test it out.

Tried it, didn't work for me, hope someone else has some luck though.

I had this and I just restarted the chapter I was playing and it went away, didn't know it was a huge ordeal

Just got this bug/glitch now as well half way through the game. Unf*ckingbelievable! Makes the game totally unplayable for me, particularly on the night time levels. For a game that prides itself on graphics, this is absolutely unacceptable. Fix this **** Crytek >:(

I actually cleared the cache on my xbox and the problem went away. I understand that I should not have to do that, and that Crytek still needs to fix the issue, but for now I can at least play the damn game. Hope this helps someone else.

Now I'm going to be constantly looking for that stupid grain every time I play it. This needs to be fixed. It seems like people have had success in temporarily fixing this issue by doing various things such as restarting the chapter, playing the game from the beginning up to the point where you take over Alcatraz and then starting your chapter back up, clearing the cache, etc. Whatever the temporary fix, there needs to be a patch to permanently resolve this issue.

Wow, i thought i was the only one with this problem. My grainy issue started with my second playthrough. I had these small boxes of flickering lines all over. It was especially clear when you look at the sky and dark objects. Tried changing the HDMI to component and changed the settings of the TV ,XBOX but no luck so far.

Nope you see it correctly the game just has terrible graphics lol
