I too have the issue of re-entering the serial key over and over for MP. The other thing I noticed is that I popped a soldier, he kind of went into a mid air fetal position and until I walked over him his gun sounds were still going, lol, and his gun was mid air.

Yea when a certain area where you pick up a flammable barrel and throw it it starts to lag or slow down then it's fine. Kinda weird bug. Otherwise everything is certainly fine for me BUT... multiplayer.. i mean come on.. "Serial Code is in use." This is a pre-order from Best Buy sealed copy and i cannot even play Multiplayer servers when trying to get in servers? GRR! Spent like 1 and 1/2 hr trying to find a way to make this work!

Don't forget having to enter the serial key every damn time you want to play MP!

ah yes I have heard of many people having this problem
this will be resolved soon

the game is completely unplayable for me, I cant join the MP cuz of the serial key issue and the SP I get the nasty screen flickering, ive never been so upset... at least when Black Ops came out sure it was broken but at least playable... this isnt at all.

F as of now... no graphic settings this is PC not 360... I thought they said they were not going to be porting this and it would have no effect on pc version bwahahha... And then DX9 yea it does look ok but not what I was expecting. I think the first crysis looks better, at least they could have used DX10 but that wouldn't have worked because of the consoles right.

I can't even shoot down trees like I could in the first Crysis. Can't play MP countdown gets stuck at 1, re enter my key every time because they don't know how to regression test and instead make a hot fix to temp fix an issue.

I want DX11, better graphics options, and the option to quick save. I'm getting a second 480 at the end of the month, so I'd like the SLI fixed. I haven't had a problem with my Surround, though. It just doesn't have the right PC options. While I'm having fun with the game and don't regret buying it (that's what counts), I doubt I'll be able to think of Crysis as a PC gamer's franchise anymore, nor will I preorder it next time. Too many things are missing, and I feel a little jipped.

Specs:
Motherboard: Asus M4N98TD Evo
CPU: Phenom II 1100T
Monitor: Asus 3D
Card: GTX 480
RAM: 8GB DDR3 2000mhz
OS: Win 7 64-bit

I am running windows 7 64 bit with 8 gig of DDR 3 ram and an intel core 2quad cpu 2.50ghz. I bought the game today and brought it home. It seemed to install ok and when I went to open the game it took me to EA manager for patch. v 1.1. The patch failed the first time and gave me an Error (104) message. So I tried installing the patch again and it worked. But after that whenever I tried starting the game it would act as if it were loading and the mouse button would circle as if it were doing something, then nothing. No black screen or anything as if it won't load. If I exit out completely or restart, I try to open the game again and it tries to download the patch again as if I never downloaded it in the first place. Then I come back to the same errors. I also have been in the process of installing the patch and it telling me that it can't find the game and that I need to reinstall, which I have now 3 or 4 times.

In the end, is there any solution to this? I have tried everything that I could

I will be completely honest, I am very pissed and disappointed with Crytek and this game. Reasons being; logging in multiple times "and ive seen Cry-tom's posts that it is a temp fix" its B.S. there is no reason for us to relog into a system more than once. Another issue that upsets me, Serial Code in use..... W..T...F... how in the hell is that possible??? I spent 60 dollars for this crap?!?!? well lets keep going since its still an issue, Unranked Servers work... AND... giving you XP and ranking you.... but the Ranked Servers dont work.... how in the hell is that possible??? Crytek and Cry-Tom... I understand you are all up to your necks with pissed off customers like myself... but please... dont take it out on us... we spend our money to help you and your company... right now i think alot of us are thinking why we even spent the money for this. MOST importantly like stated with Bowenac, MP countdown for Ranked sticks to 1 and ontop of that when Ranked Servers get past 6 players... nothing happens.. it takes a LONG time before the countdown actually starts......... i think Crytek should have tested and made sure that the server system should have recognized how many players and started.... i gave an F... 1 because im pissed. 2 because the service we are receiving for these issues, 3 well lets face it. how many times do we have to sit here and hear "this has been posted please use the search interface" or "this is an oversight and it is being investigated" or my favorite "we understand the issue and are currently looking into the problem this is a temporary fix....." brings a tear to my eye......

Crytek, fix these things I mean comon, I will not buy from Crytek EVER AGAIN if the mojority of these problems aren't fixed!

C. This game is a **** bad excuse for a PC game and I haven't even played it. Everyone rap the **** up here and move along to Battlefield 3.

... thats what i am going to do. this has pissed me off so much that im going to play ArmA 2 and wait till BF3

Are you listening to the rage in this thread Crytek? You have failed your fan base that built the Crysis franchise in favor of short-term profits by giving us a console port. You have failed on a massive level that is unforgivable as an avid PC enthusiast, gamer, and consumer. Everything said in this thread seems to be perfectly valid, and you should feel ashamed until you address all of these issues.

if we get a response it will probably be "please keep the profanity down otherwise this thread my be deleted." i must say.... this game is rated what? M for MATURE... i think we all can agree that we have to be old enough to purchase this game and thus gives us the privilege to express ourselves in however we wish to express it. we are the consumers GIVING our money for a merchandise that just doesnt want to work.... and thus we curse.. swear... hate all over because we paid for it..... again... another anger moment brought to you by Dalmaska , have a nice day.......

@dalmaska ill c you on Arma 2 mate, at least Bohemia Interactive are sticking with PC gamers.

How about being able to just create a game with a password with the map cycle I want and the game modes I want so my friends can all join? Why must all games go the route of play dedicated servers with random douchebags or buy your own. End of story.

Im having some problems with my Crysis 2... First, I downloaded the game and AVG showed that one of the Crysis 2 files was infected( so i turned AVG off) but i could play afterwards. Today, i clicked on the Crysis 2 icon but the game doesnt starts and stays on the desktop. Can you help me??? T_

So is it safe to say this game was not ready for release? Nor for consoles?

FOV! It's killing me. I hate it. Also the graphics look horrible and the blur effect is making me ill. Where are the **** graphic settings already?

Very nice list, well done Karnage57. Crytek needs to see this *push*

My grade is a C, until they add in quicksave, directx11, graphics options, launch commands, first-person driving, etc. I won't be giving this game any higher than that.

I yet have to receive my game on the 25th, but knowing that BFBC2 had the exact same CD key dilemma at the first 2 days or so, I think the same problem might be appearing here. The EA validation database (not sure if there is such a thing) might be getting overloaded. Anyway, I'm just supposing it might be like that. Don't do anything irrational yet guys, wait a little and everything will get resolved.

Well, I've only played the campaign so far, since I can't play online yet. But I'll give the campaign an A+. I'm absolutely loving the game; it's soooooo good.

Did anyone else see that in the FULL VERSION they still ask you to change your TV brightness? Could this really mean that this is a console port, and this supposed patch that's coming out is just Crytek's way of covering it up? D- for the game, considering that I was having a somewhat enjoyable experience with the game, and then this morning I find out that all of my nano catalyst are gone and locked at 0.

im gunna go ahead and say i am too very disappointed in the game due to the fact that i paid for the le edition of the game to get the level 5 promo code and now it doesnt work and i cannot even get into servers some stupid serial code in use? wtf?
