WTF did I buy?

Post » Sat May 02, 2009 1:47 pm

Yesterday, I was psyched to buy this game. Crysis was lots of fun, and 2 looked even better. However, right off the bat, the frustration began. First, I was completely unable to log in to the multiplayer. This seemed to fix itself today, but I had to do some fiddling to actually join games (had to create multiple accounts/profiles and mess with file settings). Next, the graphics settings? Really Crytek? I payed a hell of a lot of money for my rig, if I wanted watered down BS games, I'd buy an Xbox.

From here on, there's a slew of problems that I have with this game. Frequent disconnecting, servers that never start the game, game breaking graphic bugs, issues saving multiplayer progress, and accessing unlocked features. How can they release such a piece of crap? These are issues that need to be fixed, immediately, they are problems that shouldn't even exist in a game on it's release day (much less, the day after).

The thing that really pisses me off is that all I'm seeing on the Crysis twitter and facebook is them basking in their reviews, which is great and all, the single player is fun, but I, and many others don't want to judge this game on the campaign. Crytek, stop stroking yourself and fix this game. The online is what is important to me, and as far as I can tell, it is completely broken.

I am shocked to hear that Crysis 2 has the problems that you are explaining. Come on Crytek! **** get off your arses.

You probably never bought a PC game for years, every PC game have their problems at launch.
By the way, if you search more rather then go on a rampage you will find a way to customize the graphic settings here: http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/03/22/use-console-commands-to-enable-hidden-graphic-settings-options-in-crysis-2/

Guys they are WORKING on the issue! Get off their cases? It takes time for a developer to fix things. You can't expect someone to fix a problem RIGHT AWAY. There is coding to do and etc. Cut them some slack. They will FIX IT.

S.S.D.D

Does there have to be a million AND one complaint threads? I understand the game may be a disappointment (It's not released here in the UK yet) but why make yet another thread?

DX11, MP issue's, AI glitches, all been mentioned before, please just comment in one of those threads..

Go police your own forum.

The more people complaining, the sooner Crytek will think "hmm maybe we did screw up here." And they'll get to work fixing it.

You don't have the slightest clue what they're working on, or what will and fixed and when. If biching bothers you so much why not stop reading and go play your obviously perfect version of Crysis 2?
