I went and purchased Crysis 2 the other day and have been trying to get it to first install and now run. When i insert the disk in i go through the usual get to the install where it stops and hangs on a Directx install. so i run that from the disk itself where it hangs but allows me to get the copying files process running.

everything has copied over i have a shortcut etc. i click it auto updates and patches to 1.9, then when i try and run it all i get is a disk rev up then nothing. no processes in task manager nor services pop up either.

if any one can help its become really frustrating and i have trailed through the Internet for a solution but not yet got it running . . . any ideas or help i would love to try out

Info:

im not running AVG and have never run it

I have run it in every compatibility mode there is

i have installed it to an old pc that cant run the game above 2fps but it runs so its not the disk

i have a Asus K53s
Nvidia Geforce 610m 2gb
i7
6gb ram
windows 7 64bit

running directx 11 , i have tried the dx11patch and texture packs for crysis 2 as well

i really dont want to have to wipe the os and start again . . but its looking like the only option . . . might do a restore first and see

and my sound isn't set to 7.1 surround
