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.
The thing is this is all speculation since Crytek has yet to inform us WTF is going on. They're pretty bad when it comes to giving the community a heads up.

The hype killed Crytek.

Ill put a hardware anology into the mix. I bought an Asus Crosshair IV extreme mobo when it came out in October. There were a a couple of problems and one was extremely large. None of these had to do with the Lucid Hydralogix chip but more over the Intel lan that was on the board. It took Asus 1 month to replicate and say the issue existed and then I was asked to provide my 30 BSOD crash dump files for them to look at (I wasnt the only one). It then took 1 to 1 and a half months before a new bios was produced to make the issue stable. An you know what the issue isnt 100% fixed I would actually say its about 87% fixed but they consider it fixed and I have to say it is fixed unless you are using large amounts of bandwidth and network activity will it give me 1 of the 2 BSODs that relate to the network controller. Did I ever think of asking for my money back? No infact I still want to communicate with Asus to give them some more dump files because its not completely fixed yet.

Crytek does know who made them what they are now and they will never forget. But what do you think they feel when they see everyone bashing them over what happened with this release. You can never ever have a bug free release of a program because someone will always find a way to break it. If you make it idiot proof, someone will make a better idiot.


For those complaining about the 360s Patch it was 2-5MB where ours are 40 and 42MB and more often than not larger. Now please think how much coding difference is in these 2 sizes and the amount of fixes. Please dont bash just think.

Valid points, but that doesn't help the argument that Crytek SHOULD be giving the community more frequent posts about what is being done. Can you really blame all the people hating on Crytek right now because Crytek chooses to remain silent? No you cant. If Crytek would just give the community a heads up on WTF it is they're doing more often, then I guarantee you there wouldn't be half as much 'Crytek-hate' threads in here.

They probably have multiple teams working on multiple issues so which team do you report on. How do you come up with a list of what to say? How would you get approval from the publisher to release such information? How would you deal with the complaints that come in over why aren't you fixing this or that or what happened to this? These are all things you have to consider. Then you have to factor in how close are they to fixing the issue maybe at one point its fixed then someone that testing on a different set up comes and says the issue still exists or something else came up. These are all things that can delay and also keep them from responding.

Agree. More communication is the first step of more peacefull players.

what u want them to stop counting money and communicate with us??? pc elitism

My opinion. I don't want to play console ports, for me not playing a game or playing my old games is preferable to playing a console port. So it really doesn't matter to me if games sell more on console or not they can all carry on making ports but I just won't buy them.

However when a DX11 title comes out that uses my GPU properly I'm gonna jump all over that **** without even reading the review.

codemasters have been using dx11 in most of their titles.

I am more of an nvidia guy but man AMD picked up some neat games...dirt, BF3 and deus ex 3

nvidia just has crappy devs like crytek, but that is changing fast http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nnacu2-11Lg
