Wow, Crytek sucks at demo releases.

 

[Nemesis6]

It would be pretty funny if they stated that they had the demo ready all along and just wnated to gauge the community reaction!

 

[Hellrider]

How does the pre order via download works ?
Just like Steam ?

how much does it cost btw ? (in $ if you can )

$50.

Atleast that's what I'm guessing.

Wow, Crytek sucks at demo releases.

I think it's more EA's fault than Crytek's.

If anyone's interested, here's a video that shows the first 5 or so minutes of the demo (and the game, since this is the first level).

[TCfromBN]

Make sure you get the beta drivers from Nvidia.

 

[Combine Hybrid]

beta drivers?

 

[Asuka]

DAMMIT! File got corrupt.

 

[Sedako]

The new beta Nvidia drivers supposedly greatly improves performance on this and many other games. Only problem is that they broke overclocking for most vista users and some XP users.

[Combine Hybrid]

wtf, I can't install the driver because it says my OS is not 32-bit, but it is.

vista x64 and my OCs are fine.

 

[hool10]

What a pos of game this is. I own a quad core, 2GB or RAM, and a 8800GTX running on XP cause Vista sucks. First off the game runs laggy. Second there is tons of graphic tearing even with the new beta drivers that came out just for this beta. I'm not a happy gamer right now. *Oh the gameplay sucks ass too.

If it runs like crap for you, chances are my 7600 won't stand a chance.

Meh, leave it to EA/Crytek to **** things up.

 

[hool10]

Well I restarted the game and it seems that all my complaints have gone away. No lag, and no graphic tearing. So be sure to restart the game after making adjustments. The gameplay still is'nt that fun though.

 

[staticprimer]

If you have a choppy framerate, turn down some of your settings. Hell, even on medium it looks better than any game I've played to date.

Meh, the gameplay looks a bit like Far Cry... which I found alright.

I just hope I'm able to run the game at all, how are the graphic options?
Can you tweak nigh everything or is it all sort of lumped into singular categories?

 

[Nemesis6]

Well, Lucid, the CryTek engine is sure to have a lot of tweakables, etc. But anyway, on my E6600 2GB DDR2 ram and 8800 GTX machine, I get an average framerate of 25 FPS on High. Note: The "Very High" mode is disabled - I'm guessing it's DX10.

Nemesis6 originally gave the link but I didn't see it. I just beat the demo and it was fun. I guess. It's not fun, fun like Episode 2 but it's "ok". It does look neat though.
