Not sure if you guys ever played a PC game before on day of launch, but Games on day 1 are ALWAYS buggy.

The Dev's cant possible perdict how their product is going to respond on every PC equipment in the world, its impossible to perdict that. And also they promised a product at a certain day, so you get what they had ready on that date, and follow up with patches. Its how ALL games are, just because you never had a problem with any other game, doesnt mean others didnt. If you played Crysis1 on day of launch, it litterally was riddled with bugs, but see, they patched it. So it got better, out of the box on launch day it was near unplayable.

Just because your are having a hard time, doesnt give you the right to go and flame someone else hard work, if you can do better yourself, then shut up and go do it. Sure everyone has a right to an opinion, but people, you gotta give them time to patch patch patch, and Maximum evolve into a clean running, smooth running, no crashing, Game.

Every day 1 game is going to have problems, sit down, shut up, and enjoy the bumpy ride till its fixed. This is the small price to pay when you buy a game on the first day of launch. When I buy a game on day 1, I expect there to be issues and bugs, I already know it. To expect a perfect product on first launch is Impossible.

ALL GAMES HAVE THIS ISSUE! Deal with it. and next time, just dont buy a game on day 1, wait for a few patches.

Some may respond saying "Im not paying my money to be a Beta tester", my answer, "then DONT **** BUY THE GAME ON DAY 1!"

I on the other hand will gladly report any issues I may have, to "help" them clean it up. As should you all, if you have issues, report it, open a support ticket, let them know about it. But flameing Crytek/EA on the forums does nothing but make you look like an ass.

crysis 2 is a **** game,

Still doesn't help the fact that this game is a CONSOLE PORT.

Have you even played the first game, brah?

Yes, I have, played it on day 1. and it was more buggy then this the second one.

and why do you say its a Console Port? Cryengine three is made to write all three version on the fly,
its not a direct port, its just how the engine works. A Console port is when they write the game for say the xbox, change nothing, encode it for PC, then call it a PC game. This is not the case for this game.

and its just your opinion that its a console port. If you dont like it, dont play it

crysis 2 is a **** game,

Again, that is just your opinion, based on what it is now. I bet if you played crysis 1 on day 1, you would of called that game a **** game too.

I think a lot of the problems these days with PC games is the live ranked stats and online profiles thing with MP gaming. It's been around on console networks for a while but it's quite new to PC gaming. If developers did what they did a few years ago and released the dedicated server files for public use and the gamers fired up multiplayer on their new games, ran around a server fraggin' everything that moves without thinking about unlockable perks and things, then these problems of logging in to networks wouldn't exist. But progress is being made for more interesting PC gaming and in the future things should run a lot smoother for newly released PC titles. If it wasn't for the log-in issues the reported problems wouldn't be half so bad. Same with Blops I think too, MP suffers in that game because of the constant streaming of stats, well it was poorly optimised too lol.

Anyway I hope things run smoother by the time us UK gamers get their copies of Crysis 2

thats funny to the op cause i bought both crysis 1 and warhead and out of the box they had NO ISSUES!!!! WHATSOEVER!!! one may argue multi-player but i could care less aboput multi-player i only play single player 90% of the time. point it not all pc games have issues on lauch. nor did resident evil 5 no glitches. its about who releases and creates the games to me i feel i payed 60$ for 3 year old grpahics and a game full of lighting bloom and WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY to much motion blur it has much motion blur i get sick (literally) wheni eve attempt to play it!!!i had this EXACT same issue with bioshock 2 i un-installed it and nwo ive un-installed crysis 2 i truly pray they fix the **** motion blur isssues and about 30 others...again thats just the number of issues on single player mode!!!! and to finish not all pc games have issues at launch .........just ones with no fore thought..

like windows which is good after Service Pack 1 usually...

EA and Crytek is not new to games!

They should have known EVERY single problem and complaints that will be in result of lack in quality!

Every gamer that has little gaming experience knows what is annoying and what could be better!

EA is a trap, showing off how nice the game will be and then let us down again and again and again...

Everytime EA releases a game, the forums are full with complaints. EA fixes some of it, the gamers are happy again till next game.

EA could invite some gamers beforehand and improve quality, but its always only MONEY, MONEY, GIMME MOOOOORE MONEY.

Go get your money back. If the log in issues at least are not fixed within 24 hours that is what I am going to do.

As for the console port ... if it walks like a duck (port) .... quacks like a duck (port) ...

BTW I didn't have any issues with Crysis or Warhead on release day ...

24th march 6am pdt

Lucky you, i had a lot issues with Crysis 1.

Buyed it from EA directly. Activation failed due to serial issues.

I filed 3 complaints (together to EA and Crytek).

Every stupid reply took at least 2 days like the question: "Did you check the spelling, plz try again"

I told them WHERE the problem was.

After 1 week after everyone was playing i had to use a crack to play at least singleplayer.

Then i found a workaround fixing my activation problem.

Installed the game into VirtualPC, allowed internet use, started up tracing programs.

Took the Activation Data into my system > worked.

EA is not smart.

Warhead had not much trouble, at least for me.

I'm sorry, anyone remember parkour squids from the first Crysis?

Anybody wonder why this "alien infection" wasn't in the first Crysis? And why it got through a NANOSUIT (which Altcatraz is a walking tank in) and killed Prophet (who conveniently is the last tie cut from the original game; Nomad? Psycho? Who are they?) in the first 5 minutes of the game?

Are monitors going out of style, so all pc gamers need TVs now? (look at the brightness adjust in the FULL version of the game, you'll understand. That proves that the games WERE NOT made separately)

This game isn't the Crysis that the pc got onto the map, it's just a blatant port. No original plotline? Fine, we'll critique only the graphics and gameplay, which both are watered down for consoles(again, NOT MADE SEPARATELY). Unless those are fixed, the game is unredeemable.

Dude. It's day 1, and the game svcks harder than anything I've ever seen or played. I understand what you mean by improvements later..but how good are these improvements going to be if PC Gamers are an afterthought? It makes more business sense I guess since so many people have consoles...they should polish a product and cater to them, but..dude we spend tons of money on our rigs to play something that may even be subpar to the source engine in Half-Life lol.

terribad game. I was excited for it. Now I wish I could get my money back. Does Direct2Drive allow that?

Release a statement then

crysis 2 is a **** game,

^This.

lol dumb post.

game can be considered unfinished. would you buy a car that has no wheels on it? no.

obviously, you weren't around when crysis 1 was released. now, THAT game had an impact on pc gaming. that game was a landmark...and still is.

crysis 2 is just a watered down xpac thats overpriced.

Every gamer that has little gaming experience knows what is annoying and what could be better!


Yes, but it appears every gamer with little gaming experience makes up the (very) vocal majority of people lodging complaints. If the fact that life experiences "could be better" is news to you, or anyone, they should immediately step away from their computer and go outside.

Of course, the reply to this is going to be something along the lines of, "but your opinion doesn't matter, because this is a CONSOLE PORT!!!11" At least with consoles, the devs don't have to directly interface with mouth-breathers screaming incoherently about all the ways the devs are trying to screw them, leave them for PC players, not support their specific hardware, or kill their dog. Crytek must have the patience of Job right about now.

Did you not read where I wrote "and just because your not haveing any issues with the game, doesnt mean others arnt." and if you have a problem with motion blur and bloom, turn them off!

I have been a PC Gamer since 1988 back in the days of DOS games and I have only ever seen a handful of game this bugged on launch day. And the OP is a flat out liar to say "...Games on day 1 are ALWAYS buggy." Ever play Doom, how about Doom2, how about any PC game before even half the people in the world had access to the internet. Those game were just fine. You know why? They had to be. Developers couldn't be lazy and do a half-assed job and say sorry we'll patch it in a day or two. No they didn't have that luxury so they did it right the first time. Developers have gotten in this terrible habit of releasing broken games and the saying my bad I'll fix it only to have it take days, weeks, and occasionally months to be patched to a playable state.

I here ya, but your wrong, back in those days PC equipment was limited, only so many parts in the world that the software had to run on. And only one Operation System (DOS). As Time progressed, more and more and more different types of computer parts are available, And a vast amount of Operation Systems and drivers. Its litterally Impossible for the DEV's to test their software on EVERY possible platform/configuration/operation system known to man at this given date and time. You honestly dont know what kind of time, man power, and cost that would consume. If they did even try to to test every possible system in the world before releasing the game, it would be like 2 years devolpemnt for the game, then 10 years waiting for them to test every system. The better thing to do is release the software, let the MASS CROUD find the issue, submit a ticket, then patch the game with a fix. I would you rather wait 10 years of debuging?

And like I said 2 times now, just because you didnt have any issues with a game, doesnt mean other people didnt too.

They knew that there was a problem because the servers on the demo went down about a week ago. I thought that they would of fixed it for the full version but it shows they didn't. I tried to spend emails to GameSpy, ES, and Crytek and have had no response 9 but they are probably swarmed with emails.) It's like they don't even care, they haven't released a statement or anything saying that they even acknowledge the problem and they are working on it. As long as the XBox and PS3 versions are working ( thats where they get most of the sales) we the red headed step child of the "consoles" the PC players have to suffer. This is no way of running a business. When I was working on cars and if I fixed a car or built a car, and it was having problems I would be fired or would have to drop everything and fix the troubles. EA is not new to the gamign world and with this release they are making rookie mistakes. Hope they can fix the problems and maybe with some miracle they can offer some sort of compensation for the bugs that plagued this release.

They knew that there was a problem because the servers on the demo went down about a week ago.

The demo was supposed to end quite some time ago, hence the servers "went down".

demo was supposed to work untill the release of the game. The consloes worked untill release date.

They knew that there was a problem because the servers on the demo went down about a week ago.

The demo was supposed to end quite some time ago, hence the servers "went down".

I think he was referring to the fact that the majority of the things the community pointed out as being bugged/broken on the demo are still bugged/broken and in some cases even worse than they were on the demo.
