To be honest, you guys need to consolidate questions and concerns you've answered to an easy to read location. You cannot expect people to use a search feature that in turn also lists the 50+ threads for the same topic without any indication of a Crytek representative replying to it. Blizzard does this with their Blue Tracker feature, and I'm sure other companies employ similar methods. Communication is key. Seeing nothing, even if it is due to a SEA of garbage posts, is not good.

[Colton Idonthavealastna]

so it looks like the serial is only used as protection to activate the game, and not checked to play multiplayer, no wonder the pirated version now can play multiplayer as well, there's already a fully working aimbot and there will be no way to ban anyone using it because banning the serial key doesn't matter.. gg Crytek.
So the cd-key is not checked to play multiplayer? (OMG!) And there are customers that have bought the game and they are unable to play because the key is "already in use"? (Twice OMG!!!)
I have not words. I will never buy another EA's product. My last hope is that Crytek will make a patch that resolve, for really, all problems.

[Veronica Martinez]

Thanks for this thread. We know you're working on fixing what's wrong. I'm on my second play through of the campaign and have spent some time in multiplayer. You guys have made an awesome game.. just need to iron out the issues we're having.

[Nicole Mark]

Like the snipers that can do backflips through the air and drop an entire team before they hit the ground.

[Rhi Edwards]

Cry-Adam, there is any solution to nanocatalyst bug? or a patch incoming?

[Michael Korkia]

Thanks for te info guys hope there will be a patch soon !

[Bellismydesi]

could you be more specific on what you are working on fixing? there are plenty to choose from.

since when is it acceptable to release games before they are done? im sick of developers releasing unfinished products and screwing over the pc user base by patching as needed.

also are we going to be getting sandbox editor?

oh and one last thing, plz remove the 3rd party DRM from steam version of crysis 1 ty.

Hey Dumb ass, Even Microsoft uses patches! You have no idea what it takes to develope software in todays market do you? Every game/software in the world to date uses patches! Till you full understand how software works and you can go off and write your own, dont rage on others hard work.

[kelly thomson]

Thanks for update hopefully patch is soon

Yeah. I'm a former programmer and currently run my own PC repair business. It is incredibly difficult and time consuming to write any form of programming.

Nevertheless, it is still unacceptable to release any program that doesn't work on the basic required levels(IE Multiplayer servers, graphics working, available settings, etc in this game.) If I would have submitted anything like this to my firm back in the day, at any point, my whole team would have been fired on the spot!

I know for fact that it is mostly EA and NOT Crytek's fault on this one, due to EA's history of demanding unreasonable things of their developers, and that they simply wanted to go ahead and release the PC version same time as consoles to 'appease' PC Gamers I'm assuming, which has definitely backfired on them.

They should have released the console version tuesday, and the PC version next month when they had things sorted out.

I already returned my copy of the game and am going to buy something NON EA related with the money instead

[Tyler F]

"Thanks, Cry-Adam. Really appreciate it. There are still enough people who have faith in Crytek, I'm sure. Me included."


Man your a nice guy, I would love to sell you are car with no engine or battery at full price, and give you what you need to run the car later. I would make so much money like this need more customers like you!

Regards

I'm able to air my frustration and disappointment in RP English. Some users, however, tend to overreact and dramatise the current situation overusing the F-word and the like. I don't find this necessary and rather support Crytek in the best way possible. I like the car metaphor, though I have to decline your offer

[Sarah Evason]

This took a while to type and nobody has mentioned it for several posts... but I must comment on the ridiculous number of people and their DX11/multi GPU concerns. People who are most concerned with DX11 and multi-GPU support should be adjusting their priorities. There are far worse issues that needs Crytek's attention first.

like....

core game mechanics that need tweaking, the ability to properly play multiplayer, the annoying feeling when you unlock a new toy only to get deranked and lose the ability to modify your class since technically that gun or attachment is no longer available, the overall security of the game cuz if in fact pirated copies are playing legit servers well that's just bad, the gameplay and kill cam being completely off in terms of showing ~what really happened in the gun fight~, hit detection with certain objects so bad sometimes that bullets are stopped in thin air because a light pole is a foot to the right of a clear and open shot yet the poles collision box is still somehow in the way, the fact that some dude has like 30 minutes played and found a way to rank 50 on the leaderboards which most certainly isn't legit, the weird Jackal shotgun glitch where if you are aiming down the sights and auto-reload kicks in the gun gets "stuck" for about 2 seconds before the reload actually takes place, the annoyance of cloak not breaking properly when the cloaked player is shot which often results in people being able to shoot you repeatedly while still invisible and you're thinking WTF then the kill cam shows they ACTUALLY switched to armor mode before firing which explains why they were so hard to kill but on YOUR screen they were still invisible (that's a fun one likely due to server side lag), the unsatisfactory performance of the Marshall pump shottie because even though it has the same "range" as the Jackal it's effective range is noticeably less because the semi-auto shotgun is.. more accurate, really? meaning less spread over a given distance which results in more pellets actually hitting the target so despite the fact the Marshall has a higher damage value the Jackal single shot at 10 feet is superior to the Marshall at 10 feet and since the Jackal shoots 3-4x as fast it begs the question why is the Jackal unlocked before the Marshall if it's the stronger gun, the annoying sound bug that can occur in menu's and lobbies where the music plays 2-3 times over itself making ears bleed world wide, the complete and total lack of cake even though many of us were promised cake.

And yet a lot of people are most concerned with how pretty it is.... Take a step back and be honest with yourself - What if they never said DX11 would be in the game? 98% of you would've still bought it. I personally love the newest tech whether I can afford it or not, but my decision to buy a game is never based on how pretty it is. My enjoyment of a game (and most peoples) is not supported by how pretty it is either. I didn't see a trailer for Battlefield 3 and decide "man it's like battlefield.. but it's prettier than the older games so I must get it". You know.. I'm lying.. the last time I lost a round of Crysis 2 the first thing I thought was "Dammit if only those brick walls were tessellated with displacement maps I would've won". While you DX11 SLI qq'ers are waiting for them to fix the game, you should move to NYC and buy a Ferrari. Then I want you go complain to the mayor that there's no room to drive it faster than 20 mph. Don't bother complaining about crime or taxes or $11 packs of cigarettes that you can't smoke anywhere. Just cry about your Ferrari. Then I want you to move to Florida, so I can punch you in the duodenum.

Why can't you respect your clients who have decided to buy your game and release the game which works properly in the day of premiere?

The problems with joining multiplayer game (endless waiting for game start) were clearly visible in demo released almost 1 month ago. Wasn't it enough time to find solution?

Can you imagine what would happen if some company like BMW for example, release the car which some times starts and sometimes do not?

We - the players are not some mindless people and we deserve respect.

I expect from game, which I am buying that I will be able to play it, the same as I expect that car, which I am buying will be able to start after I buy it.

Why is it so hard to understand?

I am glad you are trying to work out the problem,s but do not expect me to be greatful about that, because it should be done before the game was released.

Crytek and EA should print that post out, hand copies of it to every employee and force them to pin it over their monitors.

[Stace]

Endless complaints... No patch yet! Crytek team should work very hard this weekend and the days after. The fricking console version is working well. I guess PC users are expandables...

I left a few things out of my mile long post. These are really suggestions not bugs.

- Server search filters not saving
- No squad chat
- No way to invite people to squad without them being your friend
- No way to cancel a sent friend request, currently you have to wait for them to accept and then remove them, or leave them, or see if they decline.
- Adding a server to favorites is kind of a mystery until you find the option. This process should be a little smoother.
- Leaderboard ranking as-is is a measure of how much a person plays and not how good they are. KDR and W/L ratio should be options for sorting. The stat is there we just can't sort based on it unless there's some hidden method that I didn't notice (highly possible).

That's about it.. I typed enough in my last post.

P.S. > foxracinginc

this. thank you.

np. It just seems shallow to worry about visuals when there are people suffering from way worse issues. Game destroying issues. Maybe if they disable SLI for a while they will see the real problems. I think the game looks awesome as-is and it definitely isn't so ugly it can't be played. Minecraft: Crysis, do it. I wonder how many diamonds it takes to make a Gauss Rifle...

[brian adkins]

Yeah, true. I returned my copy due to the multiplayer not even allowing me to login to lobby, EVER. Which means LE content was also worthless. And the fact the game game is pretty but looks exactly the same on XBOX 360, a 5yr old console, is NOT ACCEPTABLE either. I returned my copy, am going to continue to play single player on this $3000 PC, then delete it off my system for good

[leigh stewart]

I am still getting: "the connection to your session has been lost" after couple minutes of playing on any ranked server. It supposed to be weekend with playing Crysis 2 not compalining about Crysis 2...

Discussion of two members of EA GAMES Board of Directors:

-Are we still releasing Crysis 2 on 25.03.2011?
-You bet we do
-But the multiplayer is not working...
-I know
-But whole players' community will hate us!
-Don't care I am here just for money.

[Josh Lozier]

why the smile at the end?
there's nothing to smile about.
Removed the smile, sorry.

Saying that the devs hear us and are working on issues is great, Adam. The next question, and a natural one at that, is: What are the devs working on? IMO, a change log would go a long way towards calming things down a good bit.

Also, why am I not receiving notifications for threads I've subscribed to?

[C.L.U.T.C.H]

Maybe a stupid question but how did this product ever get through testing and quality assurance? In my opinion you should never have released it this way.

I enjoyed the singel player immensely and it really does look beautiful but it would be even beter without all the bugs.

Next time just delay it another few months !!!

[Undisclosed Desires]

Half the problem with communication between mods/devs and the player base is the forums aren't really setup properly and aren't even being used properly. Discussions sections should be just that to allow players to discuss the game amongst themselves with the occasional mod chiming in what they think here and there, though not a priority since its a discussion. Support sections should be where players are posting issues and mods/devs are regularly, this section will have alot of threads with people with same issue so lock it and redirect to the original/more popular thread on the topic, also if there is a sticky of known issues thats being looked into can lock and redirect to the sticky. Feedback should be its own section also (feedback and suggestions) players can do that these posts are set to give info back to the dev team but doesn't mean that there will be a responce (but devs/mods should be regularly watching this section over discussion).

Example of just the confusion, this thread itself, its posted under the platform discussion section yet the title says its about issues so whats the focus of this thread to update players with support or a discussion thread, looking over some of the posts there are even feedback and suggestions basically its become unfocused.

If the forums are so disorganized communication is going to come off the same.
