I had the grain glitch but after clearing my xbox's system cache and restarting my Single player game. I haven't seen the glitch since in Singleplayer or multiplayer.

follow link on how to clear system cache....

Hope this helps some of you.

PS- I remember someone had commented on the possible cause of the grain glitch being due to continuing a saved game in single-player. That got me thinking. I wonder if you started a single-player game before the March 31st patch, then continue with the same game after the patch has been applied is the cause. I've seen people posting that if they prevent the game from patching, the bug doesn't rear its ugly head either.

I bought this game and start playing on Monday 04 April and i experienced the glitch.
The 3mb patch from 31 march wasn't just to prevent cheating in multiplayer ?

I haven't played the past 2 days because of this, Im almost at the end of the game and I refuse to play like this, I know I have a fix but I shouldn't be doing this type of stuff to a play a game I paid a lot for.

PLease Crytek, I odn't think it should be hard to quick patch this, I mean come on I want to play without the fear of something making my game look terrible.

I haven't played either. I won't play again until it's patched. I did the temporary fix one time and it came back. I'm not doing it again.

I won't play as well, until it is patched. Grain/Parasite bug= Big annoyance!

*Note: I do have faith in Crytek to fix it

Well I guess you guys can throw my theory out the window then. Just an FYI I've been playing a few(3-6 games) MP games every night this week and some some single-player here and there. I just got past Ghoul's apartment level in SP. I have yet to see the glitch return. I check by turning on nano-vision.

When I was experiencing the glitch the first MP game i joined wasn't affected. Games there after, the glitch would show. I could make it go away for 1 game by restarting the game by exiting to dashboard then relaunching the game. The glitch was always present when I would continue on my single-player game though.

Question for the people who have tried the "clearing cache' fix.
How long did this fix last before the glitch came back? Can you recall what happened?

Yeah I just picked up Test Drive Unlimited 2 Xbox 360 to cope with Crysis 2 still being broken. I'm going to play TDU2 until this glitch is fixed in Crysis 2. I love Crysis 2, but I hate this glitch.

Yeah, I was able to play for a couple of hours without any problem. Then I hit the Semper Fi or Die level and about a minute into the level, it came back. I tried clearing the cache and restarting the level, but it's still there. And I'm not trying to fix it any other way because I should've have to or be expected to do that, even though I'm really craving some Crysis 2. Such a good game, but this glitch ruins it.

This glitch is fixable via the temp fix posted, but I am getting more annoyed at the audio glitches that cant be fixed in SP.

But hopefully when they fix grain glitch they will fix mostly all the other glitches as well at one time. But it will be another 2 weeks min. I am guessing before we see a patch through MS anyways.

Hardly fixable when it requires you lose progress or tolerate playing like that until the next level.

bump!

I was hoping that maybe they would put a patch out that fixed this issue before their Saturday "game with the devs" event on all platforms. I guess they aren't going to. I feel sorry for them because they will probably get an ear full when they play with the gamers that know the games problems. Oh well, back to TDU2 until a fix is released.

Oh yeah ^bump:)

They've been aware of this at least for 13 days and all Cry-Adam has said is that he's read about the issue and will get back to us and then he has yet to update us with anything. Without doubt they know now whether they can fix it or not. AT LEAST TELL US IF WE CAN EVER EXPECT THIS TO BE FIXED.
Well, to tell you whether or not it can be fixed first requires information, testing, reproduction, fixing and scheduling with patches. There are many fixes in the works and as such, information comes in large clumps, i haven't yet received the latest clump but as i've already mentioned; as soon as i know, i'll let you know

Just curious Cry-Adam but I must ask....

Have YOU noticed it? Couldn't help but notice that in your profile it states that you are playing the PC and 360 versions. You must've seen this bug. And if not you must've seen the videos linked from here and others posted on the net. It really ruins the look of the game. You HAD to have noticed it during night missions.

By the way Cry-Adam just in case you didn't see it but this video says it all....

Wow, thats a joke ?! Cry-Adam have not enough "Infos and Evidences" ?

"Everbody" has this Grain Bug! "Everbody"!
Theres no "magic" Xbox Console which can do better Perfomance or something!

It is a Game Bug and has nothing to do with the HW Setup.
But under some Circumstances (Playing Time, Level restarts etc) somebody maybe cant/want see it.

^^^ yep definatly a game bug

Man we need a fix BAD... I know I am whining now but I just got to section where you get to see 1st pinger and then glitch came back and ruined it for me

Man this sux!!!

bump!

now that this sorry ass clown lorenso isn't getting the recognition he wants, another dumpass is making a thread about the glitch being no one. please don not post there, may his stupid thread go down and this thread up. may this topic get the attention that it deserves (or it got the attention already, and crytek is doing jack **** about it).

Man it just popped back up on level #13 but its not worth starting over, even with this glitch, the game is getting hella wicked. Cant wait for a patch...

I've been posting around saying that this game doesn't look that great visual because of some quasi 720p implementation, and I only just discovered that it is actually this bug, what a nuisance.

I dont have this issue..most part of people dont have this issue..

Lorenso you really are the Lord of the Trolls.....

Thanks to bump the topic Lorenso

...what? This still hasn't been patched? What a disappointment...

Have they damn well acknowledged this awful bug yet or what? What's the word on this?

bump!

Still no word on a fix yet? Hopefully soon....
