A word from Crytek

Post » Wed Dec 02, 2009 11:13 am

Where?? ... Is there any mods on this forum?? Where are the replys to most of the problems on this game. Is it being taken care of? Thousands of people love the game even as it is - me included - but it will die soon if all this crap connection stuff isn′t solved.

It′s amazing ... 99% of the matches the host gets amazing scores ... how is this possible?? If i get 2 bars i′m really lucky and i can be up for the task but usually i get only one bar! WHY? i have no clue, i have 20M up and 1M down and i have hosted hundreds of games before and never had issues, played CoD BO for 4 months in a row and not a single time i′ve experienced anything like this ...

I live in europe and usually if i play untill 22:00 no big issues... i mean i get 2 bars ... after that it′s just impossible to play...

... i know ... what i′m saying has been said before, hundreds ... wait ... thousands of times, but still ... NO WORD FROM CRYTEK!!

Not a good sign, the silence after launch, I remeber this forum booming with mods during the beta days and pre launch.

Same thing happened with MOH

Promises of communication were made of communication with the community... made, but not kept.

They even had some new PR guy that was supposed to keep in contact with the forums... total silence post launch.

I really love Crysis 2, I do. I really want to play the game to its fullest extent but I feel like only PC will be getting patches and not consoles. I mean, I would love to play this game all day to its fullest. Sadly, the connection errors are just too much for me and I can't handle it. Also, the hit detection is atrocious.

I don′t want to be the host ... i just like many others just want the host not to have advantage over others.

Playing and online multiplayer is supposed to be fun, addictive but also leveled but right now Crysis2 is everything but that. The few games i′ve played with "normal" connection i had such a blast - and don′t get me wrong i′m no pro, but having a score 11-4 (for example) makes me a happy man :)
I don′t care about boosters, i don′t care about leaderboards, i play to have fun and to forget my daily work problems, xbox is an escape to real life problems - so i′ve invested in Crysis2 because i believe it′s fresh, it′s gorgeous and it will build a great community online just like CoD and Battlefield, all diferent games, all games i like to play ...

Right now i see this game going to the same path as Op Flashpoint Dragon Rising - multiplayer had so many problems that the game died in 2 weeks ... no word from devs during all the rant and after a couple of months producers say that no patches would be released and they were working on a new title for the next year (Red River).

I hope Crytek follows a diferent path...

releasing crysis 2 on consoles was just a money grab in my opinion. I mean come on the PC already has a patch out. I find it hard to believe the QA team didn't see the issues that have been complained about before releasing this game. But I guess we can really blame the concepts of patches since this generation of consoles. Everybody just rushes games now without any real quality testing. Again just my opinion on matters..

Seems there is a very marmite reaction to the 360 version of Crysis 2, for non UK peeps, that means you either love it or you hate it.

I must be one of the lucky few who have had an amazing experience playing the fantastically presented SP campaign, which has truly set the benchmark for FPS games on the Xbox and how a story can be told using amazing visuals, well designed set pieces and great "play as you want" feel to it. The endin already has be hoping Crysis 3 is in the works

The MP, well for us in the UK...we have the traditional problem with P2P online issues where our US friends across the atlantic always get host advantage when chosen, where any american shows on our screen as a red bar connection making hit detection just out the window and sometimes so fustrating it ends the fun of the online. But not all the time, since its release on Friday (UK) I have ranked up to 33, power levels are 12,11,12

Can understand the fustration of people having problems, but its been one week since its release, Crytek have had its admins here explain that they have no annoucements yet to be made but are looking at these forums for feedback and reaction to the game......search for Crytek-Tom

Just Be Patient..it will come to gether

TWO beta's make a absoloutly poor excuse for the sloppiness of the this product on release... I for one didn't pay to be a BETA TESTER for the MP Content...

I would have been far less disappointed if they had delayed release for a month or 2, but quite obviously EA didn't like their chances of competing with Brink and Hunted....

I have followed Cry-Tom and Cry-Adam's posts, which for the most part have almost exclusively been in and around the PC FORUM....

The generalised posting's from them have been ENTIRELY devoid of useful information, telling people you are watching the forums and complaints IS NOT INFORMATION.

THEY ARE MODERATORS FOR THE FORUMS, IT IS THEIR JOBS TO MONITOR AND REPLY.

I just want some rough estimates for the console patches..... another week? 2? 3? Several months? a whole week without any meaningful communication to the console gamers is pathetic.... They are doing a dis-service to this section of the community, to hard work that went into the people of wrote and performed the well crafted elements of the Majoritivly spectacular Single Player....

But this P2P MP Daliance has failed......

... i have no clue, i have 20M up and 1M down.

...I live in europe...



I will assume you mean 20M Down and 1M Up.

You live in Europe.

With 1M Up, you will likely never be picked as host. Ergo, you will be connecting to mostly US hosts and will probably have a poor connection unless a region filter becomes available.

The PC has a patch out because it was the most broken one. Most of the PC gamers couldnt even get the game started and since they are the ones that made Crysis popular they deserve a patch first. Really the only reason I want a patch is so more people start playing so this game doesnt die because Im enjoying it a lot.

Crytek is the NEW Infinity Ward. No not because of the game but because of their lack of interest in their community.

I remember how Cevat Yerli talked about making Crysis 2 one epic shooter and the fun in the game. Yeah thanks Cevat for giving us laggy multiplayer and destroy your fanbase of xbox 360 gamers, who made even dedicated list of problems in the game. Seriously as the boss of Crytek, don't expect me to buy another crysis game with this horrible mutliplayer experience!!!!!

Just like Cliff Blenziski screwed up Gears of War 2, then redeemed with dedicated servers for Gears 3,

Cevat Yerli, you totally svck!!!!

Hi guys, threads are being monitored and replies offered where it's possible to help. As I'm sure you can appreciate we're receiving a large amount of messages and emails at this time and trying to help as many people as possible.

We've stickied a forum thread in this section with all of the main issues that have been encountered on the 360, this is being consulted by the devs to assist in future patches.

When there is information that we can share with you such as the estimated date of a patch, we will be sure to do so.

Thanks for making your presence heard. It is much appreciated. I think people feel though that all the news is highly PC oriented and 360 users arent really being fully addressed. It would be useful to get a news update on the connection issues at least to say theyre being worked on just to settle people down, until then I cant really telll if it something is actually a bug or down to lag. DICE had an apology out straight away when Battlefield came out and they kept us posted everyday on how many dedicated servers were being added and things its kind of just following what should be the standard for customer service for new products.

I've never had ANY connection issues what so ever. I've never had that moment where I was like "WTF just happened?".

I'm thoroughly enjoying my time with this game, easily the most fun online FPS I have ever played.

Ive played the MP Stress test (pre-Alpha) back in October. And that NetCode was better than the Final Crap. What happened? Closed Pre-Alpha Test, Public BETA Test,Demo
U got sooooo many Feedback,Crytek! But u changed nothing. U kept the worse NetCode etc. Did u guys tested the Multiplayer?

Can you at least let us know what issues are being looked at or prioritized first by your team....just acknowledging some, especially connection and hit detection issues will go a long way to calming the many unhappy so far....thanks

I agree the patched beta ran great and now this crap. This is the same code (certified release) as the ps3 demo which was shut down. They went backwards on the multiplayer and fixed nothing from our 360 beta feedback.

I am very disappointed. I downloaded and played the beta for 3 days solid until I maxed everything and I didn't experience lag once. It was wonderful after playing the lagfest that is BOps. So I bought the game the other day and it's just awful. I am picked as host 8 times of of 10 and have 15Mb down and 1.7Mb up with 15ms Ping and an A grade connection when using Pingtest.com. Even as host, I do terrible. When playing the beta, my KD was around 1.6. Since playing the retail version, I'm at 0.83!! So since the beta, my connection is the same, I assume my skills are the same or should if anything be getting better, so I can only conclude that the netcode has changed and in my opinion, for the worse.

So many times I've emptied a SCAR into someone and they turn round and drop me with a pistol in 2 shots. The killcam shows me shooting about 3 feet their side.
