it is weird tho because now i see that i know i dont get that problem.it obviously a problem then to some lorenso so stop trolling.this should be patched maybe your copies are of a diiferent batch number which has a problem on the disc or code either way its not right for some people. lorenso stop trolling you prick.i hope for everyone the patches are implemented for all faults possible so we can all play one hell of a game in harmony
Lorenso, no matter how strong it appears on your screen or how good your eyes are; the film grain is on every 360 version and there should be at least an option to turn it off.

The patch isn't required as a problem from small quantity of people. The bad copy of game has got
The copy of the game is the same for everyone, and I got the game installed on the hard-drive.
It's the game, and a lot of people are reporting this.
Period.

It appears very prominently in the later missions of the campaign (especially the one on the elevated park). And just ignore Lorenso, he/she is trying to wind everyone up...

Lorenso; you obviously don't understand how badly your own logic fails you. A problem that happens to some people doesn't prove that it happens to everyone, but at the same time if it is happening to more than one or two, each with different Xbox consoles, different HDMI cables and different TV screens and the ONLY common factor is Crysis 2 and no other game, then it's obviously a problem with Crysis 2. Nobody gives a damn if you're not having the problem - lucky you - get lost and go and play it instead of telling everyone else that we're seeing things.

This issue seems somehow linked to save files. I saw a temporary fix involving starting a new game without being logged into a 360 profile and then signing in once you've got camera control. Loading up your save then results in the game not having the grain and moving lines. I tried this and it worked. Since loading the game up again though, it's gone back to how it was before. If I start a new game, again, the lines and grain are gone.

This is 100% a software issue. Something messes up somewhere and gets saved to your profile. I hope it gets fixed soon because it makes this beautiful game pretty damn ugly to look at.

This happened to me on the first champaign mission as the sub was invisible and the walls were a odd static pink/blue texture . I turned off my xbox and left it for a while ,came back and it was fine , only problem now is that it keeps coming back in multiplayer , it's sad because everthing else in the game is great

While it svcks that there's this problem considering how good the rest of the game is, I'm glad to see it getting more attention so we can get a fix/patch in the future. or maybe a patch option to remove the film grain effect altogether if you so choose.

And lorenso, it'd be a huge **** coincidence if it was just a "bad copy of the game" considering I've exchanged Crysis 2 TWICE already, and still have the same issue. And before you spout off your retardation, it's not the console or the TV, considering how many other games I play that don't have this problem. Even Mass Effect 2, which has a film grain filter, doesn't do this scan line thing.

As somebody else said, really the best way I can see of to get rid of the scan lines on the grain is to exit out to the main menu and actually select the level individually to load, rather than hitting Resume. You have to start with the level's default gear, but it works.

I also have this issue. It almost seems like a resolution issue more than anything. Like in other games that don't run in native 720p, i.e. Alan Wake, the image will look grainy and somewhat washed out - especially at certain points in sub-HD games when it's foggy, rainy, you look up at the sky, etc. It's really annoying, to say the least.

For Lorenso:

"The final framebuffer is then sent out to RSX, where a bilinear upscale gives us the usual 1280x720 output - we see exactly the same differences (along with the reasons behind it) on Starbreeze's Chronicles of Riddike."

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-crysis2-face-off

As those who played Dark Athena know, Crysis 2 has the same grainy look as that.

I dont know if i have the same problem (campaign only) but when i play campaign, some things are out of line. For example, when it says low energy there is a red blurry thing right next to it. It was not like that when i completed the game the first time, only when i started a new campaign.

And as i said, this is only campaign. Can anyone please clear this up?

It's real, and needs to be fixed.

OMG! exactly the same ... is so annoying!!!! Arrrrgggggg!!!!!

Is there any way to send it directly to the developers?.

In other Spanish forum there are many more people with the same problem ... is real, is the game.

Please Fix it!!!!!

I found a way to temporary fix the problem:

When you see it, just press Start, quit to the Main Menu, and reload the Campaign Chapter you were playing from the beginning with "Repeat Mission". You will get the default weapons of the level, but the bug will disappear.

It seems to be a problem with "Resumed Savegames" in the middle of the levels...

Let me know if it works for you. It worked for me

P.S.
If you see the problem in Multiplayer too, just do the same loading any chapter of the game from the beginning, let the game auto-save/checkpoint, and then try again going in Multiplayer.

Lorenso, I know at least 20 people with the same problem so far, and I personally cleaned my cache, reinstalled the game, defragmented the HDD (do you know how to do it too?), and set up again correctly my video ouput. It doesn't matter, cause it's software dependent, in fact I found a temporary solution to avoid it and trick it too, and you can read it at the end of the last page. And it works until Crytek will patch it, cause it's a thing it needs to be patched along with other serious bugs found so far, and that you can find here: http://www.gamesas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=11567

REAL bugs, REAL problems. And not silly or stupid complains and cries about the game...

By the looks of it Lorenso, you need to learn the English language before trying to tell everyone they're wrong in what seems some sort of broken English morse code.

And can I borrow your copy of the game? Since you have the one and only magical copy of the game in the entire world that is perfect I'd like to play it and see how the final game plays vs. my beta version I paid $60 to test.

Lorenso, not to be rude or anything, but it's either your eyes or you're not being completely honest.

You have the same issue as everyone here, but for some unknown reason, you're either defending this game so much that you refuse to see what's right in front of you, you have poor eyesight, or you're being dishonest altogether. I'm not going to try to guess which one it is, but I know that your holier-than-thou position that you've taken against anyone and everyone who has this problem -- which is EVERYONE, whether you want to admit it or not -- is quite telling.

Crysis 2 is a great game, but I won't defend it so much that it clouds my judgment. I respect that you feel so strongly about the game, but at the same time, I truly dislike how you belittle everyone who states the truth.

Uh huh, right. And I asked my friends if I'm the sixiest and richest man in all of the world, in which they replied "YES!". It's an issue with the game, not the hardware, and that, my friend, is a fact.

The "some" that have this issue, only have it with Crysis 2. Are you trying to say that the exact same video effect (This one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8d_CHC5fXc0 ) is happening to a large group of different people running different Xboxes, different TV's and different Monitors, is some kind of fluke? What is the one, single, thing that ties this all together? This bug only appears when in Crysis 2. Therefore the issue is with Crysis 2.

I'm not sure you and your friends constitute a broad enough spectrum to inistantly debunk a glitch like this. It could very easily be a minor issue that is created by very rare and specific means. Bugs do not have to be widespread. Some require a very specific set of actions and circumstances to replicate.

Considering the Xbox has had MANY hardware revisions and is capable of running the display at various resolutions and through various cables. It is obviously an issue with the game. Your logic is flawed.

I am running Crysis 2 at 1440 x 900 via HDMI to DVI on my PC Monitor. I didn't notice this issue until last night, when I looked at the sky and through that clear background I could instantly notice this effect, near horizontal lines in moving diagonally from the bottom right to the top left.

And also to contribute to this thread some, I'd like to mention that upon noticing this glitch, I quit out and went to 'Replay Mission' from the main menu. When it reloaded, the grain was still present. I believe those who say it worked for them, but for some odd reason, it didn't for me last night.

For the record, I played 'Semper Fi or Die' then 'Corporate Collapse' strated 'Train to Catch' noticed the bug, quit out and reloaded 'Train to Catch' and Grain persisted.

You want to tell that I spoke with people at which identical TV and monitors(x360 Differs nothing unless between usual and slim..)

I asked people about of this issue. Unanimously answered that there is no this issue.... Many don't have issue. Some have this issue. The such can't be..issue not with game
Between 1-5m HDMI Any firm you won't notice a difference..
settings in x360 one for all..Or you have additional settings in x360 which isn't present at others?

Ok tV and monitors different... I have Old Bravia with BRengine 2 40inch Full HD and i dont have this issue..

Even if this issue only effect 1 in 50 players, last night I was looking at the leaderboards in which there were about 155000 players listed.

This would mean that this issue would still effect 3,100 different players. Just because, in this scenario, 151900 players do not have the issue, does not mean it does not exist. Or that it is not cause by the game.

Between 1-5m HDMI Any firm you won't notice a difference..
settings in x360 one for all..Or you have what that additional settings in x360 which isn't present at others?
Yes. Acutally. For starters not everyone about the 'Reference Level' settings for their Xbox. If you have a TV that supports HDMI 1.3 or higher, you should choose "Expanded" as your setting.

Also, Different people run the game at different resolutions. You run yours at full HD, maybe this issue is only sparked by, or is more likely to occur in resolutions below 1080p?

AND that's not even taking into account the difference in the 360's microchips. When the 360 launched it's CPU and GPU were separate chips with transistors at 90nm spacing. Now they are ONE 65nm chip. This difference in hardware can lead to issues. One code, multiple chipsets.

Ok tV and monitors different... I have Old Bravia with BRengine 2 40inch Full HD and i dont have this issue..you with your new version of TV or Monitors have this issue..its funny
This issue has been presented on a variety of TV's and Monitors of varying age.

You have an entire forum saying that there's a graphical bug present that persists across different TV's, different monitors, different Xboxes and is linked by one factor, Crysis 2. And from this you say the issue does not stem from Crysis 2.

You make no sense.

i do have this problem too on my xbox 360 elite with hdmi to my sony 40" bravia. but for me, what i do to fix the problem is exit to the dashboard then restart the game and that seems to be a temp. fix for me. i do run my hdmi as expanded and my tv is professionally calibrated, so when there is not any grain the game looks great, but when it does show up i just dashboard then restart the game and its gone.

I think the developer himself will understand. Whether there is an issue or not.And to correct and let out a patch for everyone dissatisfied it is bosh.

You are an extremely stubborn dude.

It's not an issue, it's a feature that is there in all copies of the game on 360, because it's just an effect called Film Grain. We don't care if you don't see it, look at the sky or go in the water, it's going to be obvious that it's in the game and on your screen. You could consider it as an optical illusion, you need to detach yourself from the image to perceive the effect.

Go buy glasses man.

That goes to show to a 99% certainty it's not a hardware issue, it's the software. It's the game. Because out of the 6 different types of Xbox 360's out there. The slim have the same components.
