Crysis 2 Advanced Graphics Options Application

Post » Thu Feb 04, 2010 7:06 am

(This is not my post, "Wasdie" from steam forums published it)

Take it easy on me, this is the first time I've ever written and app and published it.

Anyways in response to the lack of graphics options that Crysis 2 has, I've decided to write my own application that does it. A lot of basic stuff is there as well as some AA settings, motion blur settings, and some control settings. The program will create a autoexe.cfg file in your root Crysis 2 folder for you. If you have one made already, please delete it before running this app. Every option you would have added should be in this ap.

Here's a screenshot of it.

Please note the program is in beta and not the best tested program I've ever made. So there will be some bugs.

Download Link:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Z89TZOX0


Another link:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22702526/Crysis2AdvancedGraphicsOptions.rar


Anyways requirements:
Crysis 2
.Net 2.0 or higher
Windows XP, Vista, or 7

Basic instructions:
Unzip the .exe file.
Run the .exe file.
Delete any previous autoexe.cfgs you have created. The program will crash now (it's a "Feature")

Remember to remove any target line parameters you may have put in a Crysis 2 shortcut. They'll override the autoexe.cfg

Simple as that. (hopefully)

I've only tested it on a Windows 7 64bit platform with a Steam copy of the game. I know that works. Anything else is a gamble right now.

If you find a bug please post here or PM me.

Hopefully this works for everybody. I'll be putting out more versions as more cvars are find to work and any bugs I missed are hammered out.

EDIT: Second version out. Hopefully this will allow you to choose your game path if it doesn't autodetect.


(I really hope Crytek will take a look at this)
(And FIX THE LOGIN ISSUE)

(do not just go through, bump the thread so Crytek will pay attention)



I AM LOOKING FOR ENGLISH SPEAKING FRIENDS TO PLAY GAMES IN FUTURE. IF YOU WANT, PM ME AND I'LL GIVE YOU MY CONTACTS. CHEERS

Can I get a hash for the download please? I don't typically trust public download spaces. I want to be 100% sure this is indeed what you made.

How do i get this to work? Does it create a cfg for me?


It shows NO autoexe.cfg found. Default Settings loaded. Does that mean it didn't work or what?

Cuz i still see bloom and blur.

Was i suppose to make a auto config then use that program to apply it?

Hope i am not missing something here..

BUT.. it did work however cuz the toggle aim worked. THANK YOU for that but i still see BLOOM. How disable and Motion Blur is still there.

Is Radial Blur suppose to be unchecked?

More details if possible please.

This is a 100% program dude. No Gimmick.

This is not my program, read the top of the message.

This is not a virus or something. I did unpack it and I have Avast! 6 with all new databases installed. It didn't say anything.

It works perfectly fine and is not a virus if anyone is too scared to use it. Wasdie is not a dbag like that.

And from the steam forums too. They were complaining BEFORE this game even came out.

Although I am not really happy, but I am wondering if its AVG's fault for causing my failure to be able to play this game. I got to play once, and from what I got to play, it was a really fun game :( I don't even care about DX11, I just want my game to work T_T (And this is coming from a guy that has a GTX 560 Ti too...)

AVG is just showing you a false alert. You really should get rid of AVG. It has too much problems nowdays. I used to have those years ago and now i'm sticking with MSE cuz it works much better.

Great :). This is an amazing piece of work. How come that the community can create so fast such amazing tools while devs fail :(. The PC users are different and should have the possibility to tweak their game... Anyway thanks for the app it's really great and I'm looking forward for the 1.3 release :).

Anyone have a say if this program actually makes a visual noticeable difference?
