Hello, I am having an issue with running Crysis 2. However whenever I'm playing I get this weird bug where when I'm turning (usually happens happens when I'm turning, but sometimes when I pause too) the game will lag for around a second, and if I move the mouse the other way during this time the game will freeze up completely. sound loops a skipping like sound, graphics are locked and I can't access any part of windows or my background apps (can't alt+tab, win+D, or cntl+alt+del, my keyboard display doesn't update, ect.) Since I know these two will come up, I'll say this now: this is not a problem with overheating since my computer has been far more taxed by other games and isn't running that hot, and it is not an SLI problem because I disabled SLI to see if that was the issue. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Now for the question. Please don't turn this into a I hate Crysis 2 question, but what WERE the updates in CryEngine 3? I know that it has to be enhanced somehow since it has higher Sys-reqs than CryEngine 2 did with Crysis, but I don't really see it since the graphics which is what I assumed would cause it seem worse than Crysis 1. To be honest they look like Source graphics with better textures... I don't know if I'm missing something or if they're increased in the multiplayer part of the game since I can't access that, but it seems a shame that the sequel to a game that was so intense it made enthusiasts upgrade doesn't really have much going for it. I hope someone can tell me what I'm not seeing.

I think yerli explained this a long time ago. Consoles have limited memory so the story and the gameplay is divided into small action bubbles and not open world exploration (which requires constant memory refresh and more processing cycles), cryengine 3 enables this functionality with reduced visual quality on different platforms.

Seriously? So cryengine 3 is a downgraded cryengine 2 for consoles? that just broke my heart
