Post » Thu Dec 31, 2009 2:37 pm

It's been ages and we haven't even heard a word from crytek on a patch. Can they even fix these issues , and if they can is its going to take a few more weeks. were do we as a customer stand, i dobt were going to get a full refund. we have been waiting ages for crysis 2 to be released and now its here i feel like were more beta testers than paying customers. atleast give us a sign of hope with a date or atleast a response.

They have responded- look at the thread "MullPig" made about "stopping thread locking about patches", Cry-Adam has responded there 3 times already- saying the same thing that people don't seem to understand:

The 3MB patch was exactly the same as the 40MB patch for the PC/PS3, just a compressed file due to Microsoft regulations- the patch hasn't solved much, they have accepted that fact, and they are working to fix the problems now as far as I know. Patience. It's hardly like this game is unplayable, in my opinion it's very enjoyable- with the fixes it will be incredibly good!

I think its perfectly clear that they will not announce anything about a patch until after it has been put live, they have plenty of time to say what issues are being looked at, and if or when the patch will be released...they have decided not to do this

Some guy claims in a game with devs that a dev told him that a patch was already at MS for certification, now you can either believe that or not, I personally dont because unless its posted officially its just a conversation and is meaningless

You actually think they care about the console port? Go look at the Front page and the PC forum!

I guess your definition of "ages" is different than mine. The game has been out three weeks. We've already received one post release patch.

Patience.

There's just far more activity in the PC forum. Look at thread/post counts.

They've shown no indication of caring more/less about one platform or another. They're tackling problems on all three.

Well the fact that the Home page says:

All known problems and issues: PC

kinda says something.

And PC posts are getting answers to questions, on here we're getting filled with the same old "we're look into it " or " I've passed the information to the devs " from the mods.

All that says to me is that you don't understand the inherent differences between console and PC. The issues and solutions for PC either don't pertain to the console release or can't be fixed in the same manner. The only way to fix issues on console is via a patch. This is not the case with the PC version of the game.

You're not the only one saying that Crytek cares about PC more than console (and I'm sure there are plenty of PC people that claim just the opposite), but it's completely unfounded.

Console patches have to go through manufacturer certification before reaching the consumer, whereas, the PC patch does not. Therefore PC issues can, and often do, get resolved much faster.

I too spoke with a dev last weekend from Crytek UK(formerly Free Radical), the team responsible for the MP. He said the team was only a mere 50 ppl and they built the MP in 2 years. And by today's standards for a multiplatform game that's an incredibly short lead time by a rather small team of developers and the fact that its their FIRST console release. They've done an OUTSTANDING job.

IF anyone remembers what COD2 MP was like for months after it was released on the 360, this game by comparison is leagues better.

Comparing your Crysis 2 MP experience to the likes of Halo or Cod is unrealistic. The latter games have had the luxury of having multiple iterations for which to improve the game code.

It is disheartening that they aren't willing to let us in on what the plans are and the time frame. I guess that's why the final achievement in the game is to play it 6 months after you've played it the first time. That tells me they kinda knew they were feeding us a turd.

Good information here. That is quite a small team that made this. I figured this to be the case. Pretty tough to deal with issues when you've got three different platforms to look at and such limited resources.

And I do remember CoD2's atrocious MP in the early days of the 360. It did eventually get fixed though and ran extremely smooth there after. Ended up being one of my all-time favorite and most played games ever. I'm optimistic that Crysis 2 will follow suit with time and I'm going to continue being patient for updates to fix the issues.

Im currently happy to wait for a patch but i know i'll be moving on to other games before crysis mp is fixed and made bug free and stable. I hope that they fix the problems and give people a great reason to come back and i hope they can patch relations before crysis 3 is released because it would be such a shame for the IP to fail because of these problems.
However i don't think its fair to make excuses for them. They had a closed MP test, and 2 demo/betas so there shouldn't have been this type of problem. Also this isn't free radicals first console game as a quick check on gamespot shows they also did time the splitters series and the most recent game was Haze on PS3. This is only CRYTEK's first console game and they did the SP which was mainly bug free.
I hope they can patch the problems and learn from the mistakes. If the return of timesplitters is not just a rumor and crytek uk make the same mistakes again it will be 10x worse on the forums.

PC gamers are getting their game fixed first. Then you console people will get the attention you want.

you've got to be pretty dumb when your defending a company who released an unfinished product. If you keep sticking up for them they will forever release unfinished ****.

Why is it the 14% that purchased the game gets the most attention?

About 500,000 people are playing this on XBL.

Wow they still haven't fixed any of the major issues with the game. Ha. Good thing I gamefly'ed it. I only know two people that bought it and they have since returned it through amazon.

Way to go Crytek.

Flame on fan boys. I don't care I won't be back. Ha

Because once they fix the PC version, they have a better shot at fixing the console versions. Because the PC version doesn't have to go through certification, they can test things out with the PC versions and incorporate that into the Xbox/PS3 versions, where they have to deal with hardware limits and manufacturer certification.

This game is broken and it bothers me it won't ever get fixed. 23 days since launch? And nothing? Can it run crysis? Actually no because crysis can't run itself.

With no information and almost a month from release... I'd have to say no, they can't fix this game. Maybe they left the region filters off because they knew there'd only be like 200 people still playing MP after everyone gave up on the game. Least it will be easier on Cry-Adam after we all leave. Won't have to ctrl+v and click lock thread all day. *shrug*
