My monitor is 1280x1024. I don't think I'll have too much trouble. I probably wont attempt to play it on my TV.
I really just want to play the Mech Warrior LL mod.
I'm running it at 1280x1024. The game runs perfectly. Dare I say smooth. The problem is it keeps hard locking my PC every five minutes. (after every cut scene)
I have tried to run it in DX9. I've got the newest drivers. I can't run any MOD if I can't run the game.
All of the settings are at high under advanced.
Full screen and no vsync.
It takes a dump at the end of every cut scene. Monitor goes to standby and the PC hard locks.
This system is 100% stable. I've run linx for hours and I have never had a problem with any other game.
I even turned off catalyst AI.
Ok I seem to have a handle on the situation. I'm not sure what did it but I was able to play for a little while without a crash.
Of course, I did ton of things.
The last thing I tried was to run the DX program in the game directory. Even though I ran the web updater this seemed to have added some things.
I restarted the PC and played for about an hour. I'm going to sleep for a while. If this fix holds up, the next thing I am doing is installing the MW:LL Mod. Later. The game is pretty much boring. Cloak-Flank-Kill. Luring the enemy into one of those trailers by the half dozen and then picking them as they come out the door is fun. I wont feel any real satisfaction until I slam that first rail gun round into another Mech.
Lets just hope this thing stays working. I will start to undo the things I have changed. The game actually ran faster in DX10.
I have a feeling it was that little DX update that they hid in the game folder.
Play the game on Delta.
Play the game on Delta.
Play the game on Delta.
Not on HARD. Play the game on Delta.
Any other setting and you would be right, boring. Play the game on Delta.
And I recommend the link NaturalViolence posted. I was about to post it for you.
I think, the real fun to have with this game is playing with the 1,600 console commands that change EVERYTHING.
Crysis is the most amazing engine I have ever played with. The amount of customization, in console, is fucking incredible.
My brother just gifted me Crysis on Steam. Are there any tweaks I should consider before playing it?
Use it as a benchmark because as a game it sucks?
Sucks? How so?!
Well Dan. I just tried it on my roommates PC that is exactly the same as mine except for the power supply. His is a Corsair 850. It does the exact same thing. His components are 100% identical except for that. This is the same problem he has been having with EQ. It does the exact same thing and like I said, EQ says they don't support the 5XXX series video cards. The problem isn't related to load at all. The video driver is taking a giant dump and bringing my system down with it. It shuts off my display and about two seconds later the PC hard locks.
I have run every stability test on this machine known to man. It has never crossed the 400W barrier even when it is running Furmark and P95 at the same time. I have checked, and the CPU usage isn't exceptionally high when the game is playing and all of my components are staying cool.
EDIT
After reading a bit more, the same thing has been happening with Nvidia cards but they CTD and don't lock the entire PC up. The game is apparently unplayable with any video card and new drivers.
Thanks for giving a shit Crytek. Can't forget to thank Valve for selling my brother a bump game and not saying anything about it.
My fan speed is set to always be 100%.
I don't know what drivers you are using Dan. The game doesn't work here. Like I said, it does the same thing that other games are known to do with the 5XXX series video cards. How can you explain my roommate's 100% identical PC having the same problem? With more than one game. I played all the way through GTA IV last week on this machine and not once did I have a crash. That game is way more demanding that Crysis. In GTA I had an average of around 40 FPS. Crysis seems to be running at around a steady 60-70 depending on whats going on. Remember, my resolution is 1280x1024. Not exactly the most demanding.
Is there some obscure DX runtime that I'm missing or something?
That seems like a good possibility. But, if I cant get it from Microsoft, where can I get it? It also seems to crash more frequently with Catalyst AI turned on. What DX runtimes do you have installed?
Do you think I would need to run the DX9C runtime that I found in the game folder again if I used driver sweeper and re-installed the video driver?
I deleted the game files for now while I await word from steam support on my brothers refund. I managed to get in touch with him today and let him know he needs to send a support ticket also. Perhaps they will let him choose another game.
The sad thing is, he said he damned near bought me LFD and LFD2 on sale for $10. Instead he spend $30 on this POS. I could probably live with it if it was my money. The fact that it was my little bro's money, kinda means I have a responsibility to get him his money back if I can.
THIS SUX. I was enjoying the tank section.
I had similar problems at one point. I found it that Crysis was pulling more power than my other games, and my UPS couldn't output enough power. This caused my machine to hardlock, set off the UPS alarm and or shut the whole UPS down. This is how I found out that most 1500VA UPSes only actually put out about 900 watts or so.
