I see alot of threads with people reporting that they are experiencing dark graphics or major performance drop, even in multiplayer.

Before 1.9, I ran multiplayer with all settings on 'High' and of course, no DX11 nor enhanced textures. After I installed the DX11 and 1.9 with texture pack, I turned everything on and all settings to 'Ultra' and I did notice a good amount of performance drop in singleplayer. But when I went to multiplayer, I turned everything off and put all settings back on 'High' as before. However, I now have a pleasant increase in performance on multiplayer. Before 1.9, multiplayer ran at an average of 40-50 FPS and sometimes dipping to the low 30s or maybe high 20s, randomly, believe it or not. Now when I play multiplayer, after 1.9, with the same settings as before, I run a constant 60-70 FPS and the game never dips below 40 FPS.

I'd say Crytek didn't just add support for DX11 and textures with the 1.9 patch, they seem to have optimized the DX9 performance quite well.

But am I the only one that is seeing a benefit in performance after 1.9? Remember that this performance increase was shown when running the game at the same settings as it was before 1.9, which means without DX11 and enhanced textures.

I'm running dual HD5850s and 8GB of RAM just FYI.

Lol i also lower my graphics in multiplayer because when i crank everything to the max i get like 30-40 fps and get slight input lag which makes it hard to catch a player. In SP í crank it up to the max and stay that way so i can enjoy tessellated bricks while killing CELL

I have noticed a fps drop between 10-15. It's black...I got the 'dark screen of death'. They managed to turn this game into a dx11 (and dx9 +cfx/sli) exclusive. Don't know how many people with a single dx9 (/10) card preset got the 'DSOD'...It's just unplayable

VOTE FOR MEDIUM SETTINGS. IT'S A PETITION, NOT A POLL

Yep, the pleasant times of not having to worry about cloak spamming Marshall pros...at least the CELL troops are still retarded enough to walk up and inspect the explosive barrels that are thrown at them, in DX11!!!

I was playing "very high" in MP and I can say the eye candy is nice with DX11 and HD textures. I still get 70-80 fps. xP

Before I had most options set to extreme and had 35-44 fps......now with patch 1.9 + Dx11 + High-Res, I have around 20-30 fps.....and I only set "object detail" to ultra, the rest is extreme, except shadows and waer, which is set to "high".....unpleasant performance drop.

i play the same way as before, only on HIGH as i have a GTX 260. 1.8 ran it flawlessly, now i have framerate drops especially in Skyline map. fck this crytek!!!!

I HAVE AN IDEA, WHY NOT MAKE A PATCH WITH ULTRA MEGA PHOTO REALISTIC TEXTURES, and NO OPTION TU TURN OFF ANY DETAIL!
What retards!! Crysis 1 had alot of settings in options, now darkness and FPS drop rules this game.
FCK YOU! they try to make us buy new video cards. I dont ask for DX 11 or 16. i ask for 1.8 style textures to be back (and posibility to crank them up if you have a beast GPU). Fcking discrimination!

just say NO to high res and set everything to high?

Or you could just turn off the hi-resolution textures. Like with the option in the menu.

Before i had around 45FPS+ . Now its an low framerate fest. 20-35. There are some areas where i look at and instanly lowers the framerate to 20FPS.

Very bad patch IMHO. I dont even use the DX11 and textures patch...

i have disabled everything that can be disabled... hi res textures are off, and everything is on high (cant go lower). Yet i drop FPS if i look at some areas (for ex. alot of framedrops on skyline...)

FFS you people do know that the packs are optional right? Just reinstall the **** game and don't install the optional upgrades. You should still get the same performance or roughly the same.

Also for the idiots talking about tessellation and not knowing how to turn it off. Tessellation is put on objects in the game right? So common sense would dictate that you would LOWER OBJECT DETAIL! Plus disable DX11. It's not rocket science.

We all asked for DX11 and hires textures, we get it, and now we bich. FFS can Crytek please anyone around here?

I am running at the same options as before the patch (rock bottom, 800x600 and High, no dx11 or hi-res pack) and the game's become absolutely unplayable. My framerate's dropped from 30-40 to 15-30 and the game crashes now. It's unplayable now...

Yes fps drop just with patch ...

since the time i applied patch 1.9 ONLY i couldnt play a single MP game (crapy performance, low frame rate on some maps, game is way darker than usual, game looks weird, performance over all is not what it used to be)

the game before patch 1.9 was like a dream it had ZERO problems for me ran beautiful and looked beautiful even thoguh i'm playing on high settings aka lowest settings in the game, i even tried every CVar possible to fix it but no luck it refuses to go back before the fugly patch 1.9 so for me that killed any left interest for me in the MP anymore

GG Crytek.

I'll upload some videos soon of choppy game play, low fps (when crash site pods lands/orbital strikes/ceph gunship deployed)... even as low as 1 FPS.
Not to mention Fraps already lowers my fps by about 10 more points...

i still managed to get a lot of kills using gauss... but if you view the video.. ull notice its not smooth and it gives a kind of headache...
I've made other videos of 1.8 gameplay with about 40-50fps with fraps on and the video still looks smooth and pleasant to the eyes....but with 1.9...all my videos give me headaches... probably due the choppy framerate...

Bump on this and the pixelated textures ... We need a fix !

I just tried lighthouse map and it runs like ****, totally unplayable.

i know patches used to fix stuff but with crytek it fixes some thing but ruines 3 other.
