Probably still working out the bugs for Single Player and especially multiplayer such as hit detection. I can tell it is not easy to kill someone in the chest whilst they got armor on but the HEAD is the only place you'd have to aim. UGH lol. That's good though.

They need to fix and balance pings for each player cuz it annoys me the fact a high pinged player somehow can defeat a low pinger player? Doesn't make sense.

ADMIN tools provided for admins in the game although there has been one made provided at game servers or a app not sure what it is.

Security issues such as stopping cheaters exploiting cheats in multiplayer.

Oh letting us have more graphic options like PC always offer. We need to be able to have a bit more freedom and movement in multiplayer and maybe a chance to lower the bloom in the game. It's not bothering me but i just don't like Overkill HDR and Bloom. It may be just my eyes but it looks like they actually adjusted a lower level of bloom now in MP?

Oh they working hard on DX11 project and it takes time.

Auto CFG should never be reset because it's only for single player? As long there is no cheating? As for graphic wise.. i dunno what to say. It's just something we do since Crysis 1. Improving the graphics. I wonder if having AA on slows down the fps in MP?

I dunno what else i can think of but i look forward to the patch. Hope it goes well.

Nothing at all. MP is boring now due to no mods or new maps. Servers svck. I was expecting like "24/7 Skyline IA" type servers. But I get a server with slightly changed game style. They better hurry up with mods/DX11 and a way to get rid of these hackers. If Crysis blames the PC Community for pirates getting into MP, it's their own fault. Crytek, just get rid of MP for now and switch it over to Steamworks. Seriously.

Get rid of MP? That's **** stupid, because FYI, I and a HUGE number of legit players are playing MP perfectly. If MP doesn't work for you, then just don't touch it and wait for updates. But shutting MP down altogether for a while? Terrible move, you can expect A LOT of b1tching to be happening on these forums.

And the MP is boring due to no mods or new maps? The game JUST came out, I don't think there's going to be new maps for a while <_<"' As for mods, just wait. Sandbox Editor 3 hasn't come out yet. Damn, I love games for months WITHOUT mods or new maps, just what I got when I bought them, ex: Bad Company 2. No mods needed.

Crysis 1 and Wars was pathetic tho, if you wanted mods from THOSE games or some ****....LOL...the only good mod is the mechwarrior mod and single player graphics mods.

Their working their **** asses off. Actually go look at the console boards, console gamers are having problems too but Crytek has had Cry-Tom and Cry-Adam talk to the PC community the most. They really are working hard to get all the issues on PC fixed and to get DX11 out, THAT'S WHY I still support them. It's not their fault the game released unfinished, it's EA's with their stupid release date.

As for Anti-Cheat, idk bout you man, but at least for ME, it's working. Like seriously, instead of 1 hacker in every 3 servers, it's like 1 hacker in every 20 servers, and that's in the first stages of this anticheat. The anti-cheat isn't even done yet lol.

And Crytek cares WAYYYY more than you, me, or any other PC gamer that pirates are playing their game online. Stop scolding Crytek that this is happening, it's not like they WANT the pirates to play online. They **** care a **** load because to them, it's a big deal and they want to make sure these stupid pirates can't play online.


You know crytek personally ? I know for a fact that due to the pirates and the PC community that they will announce that they will no longer create games for the PC. Anti cheat that isnt done ? lmao thats the most retarded **** I ever heard. Crytek and EA care only of one thing. MONEY. How much money did they make, how much can they make this month off crysis 2. Not much so dont expect to get a "GOD" Patch. Isnt going to happen, unless crytek stays with the PC Community and releases a Crysis 2 Expanion. I honestly think that will not happen after leak, and pc community completely upset with them. I dont see them rebounding from this.

Yeah, cause companies are supposed to roll out instant patches and fixes just days after the game's release!!


well yeah , if they release a game as buggy/glitchy and without anti-cheat , they better F***** release a patch a within days after release , not talking weeks here . there should have been a patch everyday since release .

"anti cheat that isnt done?"

why do people find that funny? Anti cheat is never done...... It has to always be updated and changed because people find ways around it... Thats why "it isnt done"

well yea but making "ANTI CHEAT" that has 50 headshots in some timeframe = 1 hour ban ??? is this anti cheat?

this is their anti cheat.. this is BS.

ofc anti cheat is never done but THIS is not the way to do it either

crytek doesnt want to invest the time and money into proper anticheat. games out, sales are made. theres no reason to provide major support.

Exactly or any MAJOR Updates. So expect Nothing major or an expansion in the Future called Crysis 2 Warhead 2. lmao

You ask what the programmers at CryTek are doing....well knowing them, they are working their nuts off to get a stable patch out to address the problems.

Yea you can moan that xbox360's were patched before, but they have only two or three hardware profiles and therefore are must easier to fix (fewer languages and graphics cards. not 32/64 bit issues, no AntoVirus software you get the picture).

You are moaning about hackers, but there are more issues and hacking options on a pc than are on an xbox - people have access to the hardware, software and memory through the use of debuggers and other hacking tools. So its a harder fight and one that needs to be done carefully, otherwise you block/ban/break a lot of customer games/PCs.

So there are issues - did you play call of duty black ops? That took the developers about 3 months just to get stable code never mind the tidy up the hacking. PC games take several patches to get the game running smoothly and without the glitches. Yes it is annoying, but even with the biggest test team in the world, once you let 25,000 users play the game you will find bit that got missed. The patches will come out once they are ready and are stable.

The point about just sitting there and watching hackers and pirates steal the game is just crap - the CryTek and EA Games are companies in business, and in this day and age no one stays in business by letting free loaders spoil the fun of good paying customers - it just doesn't happen.

Remember that some of them have been working for over 3 years on this game do you think they want to see it fail? Just like anyone working on a long project, the CryTek guys want to see customers enjoying it and having an ace time in the world they created - believe me they don't add bugs to **** you off.

Take a look at the COD:Black Ops forum, there were people complaining about the same stuff - its a fact of life, and if you don't like the delays to pc patches then get an xbox and get on with life.

I have been playing games for 30 years (yes that's thirty years), and patches and glitches are always going to be there, as will cheats (I remember reading CandVG magazine back in the 1980's for the spectrum game cheats that used memory pokes and peeks). You have to either live with it, or move on.

I like gaming and that's why I live with it, so maybe you could too?

Someone really thinks Crytek cares? Yeah, right. Everything points to that. *Everything*.

I think they are having a poo. Eventually they will fix it, but probably by then most people will have given up because of being kept in the dark.

Have you ever programmed software or undertaken code review? Do you have any concept of the size of the task? Here is a very short high level list of the steps (that a normal programs software undergoes):

to identify the possible sources of the problems (hard if you just get feedback like - thats **** or it doesnt **ing work)
replicate the issue (which can take a while)
identify the code at fault (not always easy)
then make a correction (which needs writing - we are not talking about adding a comma here and stuff)
check the build (the whole build - which takes ages)
make the complete build (and I am guessing for 8gb of code that's a good a few hours itself)
put it onto a test rig (download and install time)
run some tests
get is validated
get is authorized for release
get it shipped to the upload and distribution points
And then finally release it.

All this is if the issue is easy to identify, the code is spotted and easy to fix and the fix works.

You complain about hackers but some of them are hard core coders and thus they are able to manipulate memory on their systems on the fly. These guys know what they are doing so it takes time to add and make stable memory canaries and appropriate checks.

As someone else said the anti-hacking never stops its a constantly changing war-ground between developers, gamers and hackers.

It takes Microsoft 8 weeks to develop and deploy a patch for an urgent issue, Apple average about 120 days, Oracle about 6 months. So give CryTek some slack, its only just over 10 days. Like I said before it took Black Ops 3 months to get stable never mind secure.

Nebs

to be truthful i aint got any clue what they are doing, all i know is the insane flickering, lost nano points, broken MP where pirates can play and melee hardly working made the game feel like a chore some of the time than something good.

just wanna ask, all these people who say crytek are working there ***** off, how do you know?, faith, optimisum or inside source.

the only thing here that is the issue is not trolls, not elitests, not crytek devotes.

ITS........... silence from crytek, cry-adam, cry-tom, its these thats make the matters worse, silence will always make matters worse,
you see if there was some communication to us people would be put at some sort of ease, one way or another.

if anyone can please advise me of any other business sector where the manufactures dont talk to customers if there are faults.

why should the games industry be the only special case where they can say "if a product is faulty or does not work to a satisfatory level as advertsised then it aint our problem", isnt this actully illegal for every other sector apart from the games industry.

I knows a few of the guys, not that I see them much since about late Jan this year. They are all flat out (like late nights and weekend working) to fix the problems.

I know they want to give their fans the best gaming experience possible. I had the same issue with activision over Black Ops, and the game crashing, flickering graphics bad sound, lag and lost xp levels. They took several weeks to fix the initial problems and 3 months to get full stable fixes.

I think the two CryTek guys are the only ones facing the flack as the rest are fixing the problems. We would all love to bich at the developers but they are all writing and fixing code to stop the problem - we have to let them do that rather than answer the forums complaints.

And all software screws you over - the click wrap contract is hated the world over - its not just gamers or pc's it all software (and I see worse than this that costs millions per installation not just ￡44). You ever had Microsoft listen to your biching about MS word? no me neither.

Then why the hell is nothing happening? Can you name one title that had worse release and tell us how long is it going to take to have a playable game? Are we going to have a playable MP ever? I'm not holding my breath, Crytek was known for quality, selling that out is just too obvious.

I think we are in a open beta.

lol no. Crysis 1 was riddled with bugs at release too. It took 2 months before everything was good.

What? Did you not see the trouble black ops had? It was released in October and it took 6 patches to fix some of the problems. Here is a lint to the comment on the dec 14 patch 1.04 which fixed a few stability and graphics matters. http://www.ripten.com/2010/12/14/call-of-duty-black-ops-patch-1-04-for-ps3-is-live-mauler/

As many point out COD is a bigger franchise which may give them more programmers, I don't know, but the link is for a critical patch some 6 weeks after release.

So are there games with other problems hell yes, does it make it any better or easier a wait for our patch hell no.

Nebs

I think we are in a open beta.

That is exactly what's going on. The PC version is essentially in open non-free beta.

Lol you playing on windows 7? It's been 15 years in the making and Microsoft is charging you for every release! So your argument has either no stubstance or CryTek is following the big companies leads. You decide (lol).

Heck apple even charge their users for patches (snow leopard ￡15 per machine - in case you wondered).

Well, technically, right now it is in fact FREE OPEN BETA since pirates can play online for free.

Did you see the pirated version. Now thats buggy code! Dx9 low res and really really poor graphics frame rates.

I ran it on my mbp bootcamped to win7 and I was getting 10-18 fps. The released version was real smooth and the sound was much better (about 45 fps). Yea some will only play the pirated version which is a shame as the game is so much better than they will ever know. Ramp ip the AI and it's an awesome SP and once the MP issues are fixed it will be sweet there too.

I can name a few releases.
Funniest one was Civ 3 on pc.
Nobody could play at all when released. Its ledgendary how many bugs where in that. In fact it nearly killed the civ franchise.
Yet, they fixed it and it became one of the best civs. Took about 2 years of patchs though

I remember it was ****, but not unplayable. Neither was FarCry or C1. For me, at least. Bugs are common, even alot of them, but I can't remember any game as frustrating as C2.

I can tell you why nothing is happening as fast as some would like.. It takes time to reproduce bugs and fix them. This is no longer the early 90's when companies could just release a patch within days of release. it's as simple as that. Crytek is probably rounding up all the bugs and going to release a massive bug fix patch that's my best guess.
