Freezing on PC

Post » Thu Jan 06, 2011 6:19 pm

Hello! First, I love Crysis 2 :D The only thing I don't like is that I get random freezes on the PC. It can happen at any point, and does not depend on how much is happening on screen, like walking in the sewer with no special effects or whatever.

The screen goes pure black, with the sound playing until the tracks end. I have to hard reboot by cutting the power. I have alot of games, and I'm not having the same issues with any others.

I'm using the 270.51 Nvidia Beta drivers, and I tried the one's previously as well. All drivers installed after using Driver Sweeper in safe mode to clean the old ones out.

Spec:
AM3 965 @ 3.8Ghz on H70 cooler
8GB OCZ Platinum DDR3 RAM
2 x GTX 470 in SLI @ 715Mhz
900W Antec High Current PSU with 160 Amps on quad +12V rails
24" HD BenQ monitor @1080p @60Hz

Temperartures for GPUs stay at around 70C otherwise my GPU fans kick up to 80% and sound like a jet, so I know the temps are ok for the GPU.

I have also tried using stock speeds for all my hardware, but the fault persists.

I've just tried disabling SLI, also removing the 2nd GPU, and alternating the cards in singular. All crashes :/

maybe try to reinstall? Your PC specs should handle the game

I have now tried installing using EADM instead of Steam. Exactly the same problem occurs. Random freezes requiring a hard reboot. THIS IS THE ONLY GAME THAT DOES THIS in my entire library.

I have tried contacting EA Support who acknowledged my contact but have since ignored me.

Well, thanks for nothing Crytek and EA. I have a pos game that I cannot play without frequent crashes, and nobody from either organisation have done anything to help. RIPPED OFF.
