Crysis 2: Day One Impressions

Post » Tue Sep 01, 2009 1:31 pm

Bought from Steam, downloaded and installed nice and easy. Ran the game, went to log in with gamesas account, failed because well... I don't know why. Exact same account details here do not work in game.

Fine then, clicked the Skip button to try out the Campaign at least.

.... and I can't see any character models.

Seriously? What the hell? Radeon 5850 here, respectable rig overall, never seen this before in a game. I don't (yet) feel like I've wasted $60 bucks, but I'd really like to play this thing.

Yeah ive probably played online once, but then I realized that my rank 5 was reset back to 1 (cause i got the LE version) so i gave up on that, and have been playing single player....

I tried only the one code that I had with Steam, not my LE one. Not sure where to enter that, tbh.

The character model thing is a hell of a glitch, especially in a *first person shooter*. argh.

Managed to get the game to work after the patch (which steam delivered, nicely) so that I can see character models. SP is pretty damn good.

Still cannot log on though.

I had no problems at all with gfx or logging in. The one problem I did have was activating the LE code on this site. But it was fixed. Not sure if the link that the game takes you too is the right one the game takes you to http://www.gamesas.com/redeemcode , i finally got mine to work by going to http://www.gamesas.com/limitededition. Not sure if they are the same thing but the 2nd link worked, but as stated before, having the LE made no sense since my rank kept going back to 1. But I now realize its because there were no ranked servers really up at the time which svcked.
