Dude they locked it down cause People Like CrytekProgrammer BoomIjustShotyou and the big hackers exploited those commands. they allowed people to break in and change settings to the point where they could do as they wish. I know this to be fact cause i infiltrated one of the hacking forums and found alot of things i was feeding back to crytek. i don't know if they listened but it sounded like it. Look if you care so dang much about the looks of the game don't play and that's that! they are coming with dx11 one day soon and will you still be happy? i doubt it. ill take cheat free and deal with extreme graphics any day.


Errrr... no they didn't.
Those hack's/cheats would just unpack the .pak's, then change the variables in them. They had nothing to do with those other variables.

Errrr yes some of them did.. there was code in everything. they locked it down once and unlocked it!!! I have been to a few hack forums and caught on to what they was a doing!! and they tore down more then bins my friend. they used some cvars to give them a advantage with changing colors of teams. Witch is still not considered a hack yet cause no anti cheat can ban you for it. all they can do is lock down what command that allows change.

good ol failtek strikes again..... now they effed up the single player?, damn that's all I could play since the MP is so damn bugged and full of hackers. C'mon lapdogs....keep telling us what a great job they have done and posting dim witted, sheeple posts. Worst game I have ever bought....sadly it should have been the best since these are the people that did Far Cry and Crysis........Friggin' sell outs!!!! go peddle your consolized dumbed down games elsewhere.

Nice to know there was a mouse...

I really hope that was a complement...

Hey dude i never insulted you! so why did you do it to me. Cause you have such a low self esteem? Life got you down and you come in here and jump on people cause your tiny little body with the zit from hell wont allow you out of the house? Oh wow your such a great big boy now aren't you!! Pat on the head go run back to your room and play with your Gi Joe toys why the advlts have talk time. man i will tear down your wall and leave you wishing you never entered this forum if i feel like it!!! I will have you wish you never set foot into my world. I don't come on here wishing to cyber fight nobody cause in fact its foolish to think anyone wins. but if you want to see who owns who in a put down match lets go then son!!! Like i said your still wet off your daddy's tip!!!

lmao

oh oh I want to see this LMAO, record and upload to Youtube.

Really Crytek? You had to take away my 3D? Is it too hard to go through the variables and determine, 1 by 1, whether or not it's exploitable and maybe focus on those that are, rather than just hammering them all back under? If it is too hard for you guys, I'd be happy to offer my services.

Trolls need not reply.

On topic , I'm very disappoinred by crytek right now . Every patch leaves a lot of bugs unsolved , and they lock the cvar we could use in order to have proper graphic option . It is supposed to be the best looking game ever or what? cause right now with the ridiculour draw distance , constant pop-in , and blurry AA , It is far from it . I don't see the problem in wanting to have the best visuals my computer can pull off .

Crytek you were so close to making the game good, why did you decide to **** it up, why?

guys you whine about hackers then they take counter measures and you whine about counter measures

best would be to have 2 exes, the single player one with ALL cvars unlocked and multyplayer one with only things they want to be used and integrity check on pak files.

You have no **** idea what you're talking about, you can't cheat through the autoexec (unless Crytek allowed debug commands, which I doubt, maybe, hopefully...) there is literally no point in disabling cvars, at all. This isn't a counter measure, it is a measure by which to piss the community off.

I' no expert but I'm fairly sure they can lock certain values of certain cvar , so if they weren't so lazy , we could tweak the game while staying legit .
Then again if we had proper advanced options in the game , we shouldn't have to make those tweaks.
Is that really too hard to make sliders in a menu with view distance , quality of AA and shadows , that sort of stuff ?
From a company who keep saying they make the best looking game , it's just plain lame .

Wait so I can't even change water? I can't use sys_spec_Water=3 even when I'm running it on Very High, which is only 2?? That's gay. Crytek needs to get shot.

What the ****!! OP is right! When I first installed the patch I was impressed by how much smooother it was running. Then I realized none of my tweaks were applied.

We want this ability back! It has nothing to do with cheating and was our only way of adjusting graphics.

Please give us a good reason for the removal of these features.

wait what the autoexe stuff that i use the addon for advance graphics still works for me.

Which one do you use? Wasdie's tool or the other one?

I use wasdie one.

I use the other one and mine all stayed the same. sure you don't just need to tweak everything again?

People are going to have to resort to hacking the game just so they can make it work like it should, great job at stopping hacking Crytek, did you learn anything from Sony and the PS3?

You are right for the most parts of what you said. But when it comes to MP and CVar exploits you are wrong. For example some CVar configs could be used to tweak nanovision to a point that would give players that use them an advantage about others that don't. As soon as CVars do adress any kind of shader they can be abused for a personal advantage. Its just the way the engine works and the best way to deal with it, as some kind of hotfix against cheaters, is to just block them.

Am I glad about how Crytek does adress this issue? For sure not, I really would like to see all of the CVars working, but as long as it helps to get rid of the cheaters I don't mind it and wait to see what else they got to get rid of them.

1- Maybe it was a mistake

2- How do you know it's MOST CVARs?

Personally, I don't really care. As long as my game runs nice and I can change the fov, and there's no graphical yuckies, I'm happy.

That is all. pencs.

At this point we are are all just happy that the game runs.

I use the other one and mine all stayed the same. sure you don't just need to tweak everything again?
The autoexec file wouldn't change. The commands are just disabled in the game.
