bump^ just to keep it on the top.

ok......
cry-adam and cry-tom are responding to the other threads but not this one.......

WHAT GIVES?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z87_kK10Ck THIS IS A VIDEO OF THE GRAIN/STATIC BUG IN ACTION, SCREEN GOING FROM CLEAR TO UNCLEAR! SKIP TO 2:15 IF YOU WANT TO GET RIGHT TO IT! PLEASE WATCH AND COMMENT!

Edit: To see the grain bug the best, put the video on 480p but don't go to full screen mode.

The quality of my video isn't the best, it's an old camera but it's all I have. You can clearly see the screen going from the regular grain filter to the bug. This topic needs to be a sticky, and Crytek needs to acknowledge and address this issue.

Guys, please, stay on topic. Just ignore the trolls on this forum, we need to focus on getting Crytek's attention and not pointlessly arguing with trolls.
Solid post, thanks for the info

As soon as i've got any information on this issue we'll let you know!

Cheers!

So are you guys working on a patch for this glitch? Can we get some kind of response admitting an issue is present and soon it will be gone?

Thanks

I have the issue as well .. in both MP & SP .. wont bother with the fixes as they are just temporary and in all honesty shouldnt be expected to do that.

Thank God Crytek responded

At least now we know it will get patched hopefully.

Best FPS ever gameplay and graphics wise and this bug was making me not want to play it.

Me to Raptor me too....

Thanks Adam, I'm glad you saw my post/video I hope it helps to diagnose this issue in some way. Good to know you guys are looking into this, thanks again and please keep us updated!

never had this on sp or mp yet???

Finally we get a response from Crytek! Hopefully this is something that will be patched in the near future, because I'm not playing it again until then.

i just wanted to point out additionally that the video does the grain/lines bug/glitch only little justice. in my case, in the first rainy level the lines where clearly visible without nanovision. they go from the down right corner to the upper left corner. i didn't look to find anything specific, they are very clearly visible and grab your attention immediately. this is not some kind of nitpicking, it totally ruins the whole gameplay experience!

i deleted my save, cache and game from the hdd and played from scratch to the first rainy level. no lines! i signed in to xboxlive and at the end it was there again. as mentioned before the dashboardexit workaround did in fact work and the lines where gone. but i'm doing this only because i like the game a lot. every other game would have landed on my shelve. so please, i think this issue should receive immediate attention as it is totaly destroying the gaming experience!

the grain bug is in the last levels. and very beasty. The central park is an best example... looks horrible with this grain all over the place .

I definitely agree with this post. The video doesn't do the glitch justice. It's much worse when you actually experience it yourself while playing. I really hope that Crytek doesn't brush this one off after seeing the video and thinking that it's not that bad.

I agree as well...while we really appreciate Zardoz's help in proving this glitch exists, the video is not strong enough evidence.

This clip which has been floating around the forum for awhile now, shows the 'grain glitch' clearly....and this is exactly what it looks like when I experience it.

Same **** for me it's worst and really begin on chapter 3 at the FDR bridge with the fog or smoke effect after the bridge collapse and you have to activate the nano vision to see something but with this glitch it's just unplayable.... Hope a patch will come soon because i stop playing solo because of this !

I've just experienced this in campaign after my suit got pretty busted up. For that reason I think it's part of the game, looks like interference in the suit's visor. I think it looks pretty cool, makes the game character still feel part machine.

BTW I'm using PC monitor.

I wouldn't call this issue unplayable. I've played through the campaign twice and while it bothers me, it doesn't make the game unplayable.

i know what you mean, and if it was intended i would accept it. the only problem is, that through the workaround (as mentioned in my previous postings) the lines aren't there, so unfortunately it is a bug and really shouldn't be there.

Spoken like someone who has never dealt with graphics problems. It's is not a feature of the game that it suddenly gets ugly after looking good for the first part of the game. Get a clue.

You're absolutely right in the fact that it doesn't make the game unplayable. However, why would anyone want to play a game that doesn't look the way that you know it could and should look like. One great thing about this game is that it has some of the best graphics on the console. For that to be degraded by a stupid glitch that shouldn't be there makes me not want to play it until it's fixed. Maybe not "unplayable" but definitely makes me not want to play it.

Exactly...it's hard to enjoy it when you know how amazing it should look. i expect this kinda bug with PC versions of games...but not console versions. All the other bugs that are happening are standard and to be expected in newly launched games. This 'grain glitch' is abnormal and frustrating. I have an eery feeling that they're having a hard time pin-pointing it.

^bump

I get it sometimes on multiplayer too, but sometimes I don't and my picture is clear. This is a svckish bug.
