Crytek sure is taking their time.

The game was released on November 13th and still not one freaking patch ! I want the multiplayer sorted out and the game maybe tiny bit better optimized.

and the game maybe tiny bit better optimized.

[QUOTE="jcosta223"]i want a 50% increase in performance!smokeydabear076

It does for some people. I've seen increases of as much as 15 FPS demonstrated in Crysis going from Vista DX9 to Vista DX10. Unfortunately, many people seem to be getting very little to no increase, and sometimes a decrease. What this tells me is that it does have the capability to do what it's supposed to, but something is a bit off about it, something hasn't been fine-tuned.

I don't know whether it has to do with DX10's design itself, orthe way Crytek implemented it into Crysis. Perhaps DX10 can be hindered by certain software and/or hardware in some way, which could explain why I've seen some people getting spectacular performance results, some mediocre, some with no change, and some that are actually detrimental. The differences in people's systems - what hardware they're using, what programs they have on their computer - just might have something to do with that.

Here's to hoping DX10.1 will prove more universally beneficial to performance.

EDIT - Oh yeah, anyway, I too hope they come out with a patch soon, mainly in order to fix the aircraft carrier bug that makes you fall through the deck.

your aware that all 10.1 does is require certain features that 10 doesnt? such as 4x antialiasing

I bought the game over a month ago and still havent played it because I have SLI and it just doesnt work with SLI and Vista.

7 - 14 days for a patch they said.... yea right!

Funny how Cod 4 has allready released 4 patches and Crytek hasnt released a single one.

I hope they realise how bad it hurts their sales.

I have a clan on team speak and word of mouth spreads very fast there.

I feel like I bought a lemon from the dealership...

I know it's not the end of the world but very annoying atleast.

I haven't looked into it much, I've just heard about it. Somehow I find that hard to believe, though, since it wouldn't make sense for Microsoft to spend the time and money to update DX10, only for the purpose of forcing you to use higher graphical features. It just logically doesn't make sense as it's just a waste of MS's money, surely it has to make design improvements, as well.

Because if you had read my whole post, you would have seen that I already know about the demonstrations of poor results with DX10.

Crysis patch 'full update' today

Crytek's Crysis PR Manager, Zyad Tikanouine, told Gaming Target via e-mail that the long awaited first patch for Crysis will be released today, or at least news about the impending patch. It was originally supposed to be a day zero release (meaning it would ship with the game), but has stayed in the QA testing phase far longer than expected.

Tikanouine's e-mail is appreciated, but vague in that it doesn't tell us if the patch or news about the patch will be posted today. Either way, we will get something Crysis patch-releated soon.

Hi Patrick,
a full update will be released on our community board today. Check it out.

Cheers,

Zyad Tikanouine
Product PR Manager
This is the type of timely response you get when beginning your e-mail to Crytek in German: Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren.

According to previous reports, the patch will mainly focusing on performance improvements for the power-hungry game. For those interested, be sure to spam refresh Crysis' community board to be one of the first to grab the patch or find out when it's coming."

DX10 cannot make games perform better than DX9. All it does is allow more effects and better visuals while maintaining frame rate. DX9 has less effects so will perform a little better but not by much in Crysis. Deihmos

What DX10 does (or is supposed to do, anyway) is allow for more things on-screen for the same performance. It offers very little in the way of new graphical effects. This means at the same settings in DX10 as in DX9 (both in Vista), (you're supposed to) get better performance since DX10 (is supposed to) render the same amount of objects and effects more easily.

Unfortunately, it would seem it doesn't work properly for many.

I basically said what you said, but made minor corrections. It renders things more efficiently, more easily, so it can either have more things on screen for the same performance, or the same amount on screen for better. I read somewhere that it only adds one graphical feature that cannot be done in DX9, though I can't remember where I read it or what feature that was supposed to be.

Again, all that is how it's supposed to work, and how I have seen it work for some (on another computer in my household using an 8800GTS 320MB, I myself have witnessed increases of usually around 5 FPS in Crysis going from DX9 to DX10 in Vista). Since it apparently doesn't work that way for some, one can only assume it isn't working properly for them.

I don't think anyone ever said you can get better performance in DX10. still the technology is still new and the only games that used it well imo is Crysis, WIC and Bioshock. When the new DX10 cards come out in a few months I am sure they will double the performance of these current vidoe cards.

Yeh but Very high in DX9 looks esactly the same as very high in DX10 and the DX9 has better performance on XP. What Crytek did was disable very high option for people using the DX9 so you have to change the config files yourself to get the actual max graphics out of the game. Dunno what they were thinking really, just some scam to try and get you to upgrade.


Also yeah they said DX10 is more efficient than DX9 but we've seen no evidence of this due to the bad performance of Vista, however i'm sure we'll see this in the future, probably jus because better cards are released though.

Nvidia wants to sell video cards. I doubt they still make DX9 video cards.^^

They said the update wont be available tell sometime in january...

If we go by Crytek time that means a few months from now...

I would sell my copy if I could but I have the digital download...

Thanks for burning my 50 dollars EA and Crytek...

Crytek should look at how good Activision has done with COD 4 and then look at Crysis what a bunch of #@$%

Cod 4 has had 4 updates allready and ran almost perfect out of the box anyways I'm done pissing myself off for the day...

It doesnt work in SLI...

Even the cheapest games run in SLI but not Crapsis!

I told my nephew he could have my Crapsis download... time to play some COD 4!

Well SLI is a waste anyway. I would take one of those cards out and sell it on eBay but that's just me. The next generation video card will easily outperform 2 8800GT and $250 for an extra 10fps isn't worth it. Now Nvidia is going to push tri sli. Deihmos

Wow thats news to me!

I get more than twice the performance of my single GTX but if you say its a waste I guess it must be...

SLI is not a waste when you play at 1920 x 1200 resolution...

It gives you the extra power to make it smooth gameplay at hi settings hi res

For instance... Cod 4 gets like 160 FPS at hi res hi settings in SLI

Well if you think there is a difference between 60 fps compared to160 fps then that's good for you. Your LCD cannot display more than 60fps either. http://www.gamespot.com/features/6182806/p-5.html That's SLI on an 8800GTX and the difference is 10fps and that's an extra $600.00

You dont understand...

Let me clarify...

You make it sound like a game runs at a set FPS... obviously it doesnt..

The SLI helps when you are in an intense battle and the FPS is say in the 30 or 40's thats when the extra power could bump you back up to 60 FPS or whatever... making the gameplay smoother.

Anyways Im not gonna argue with someone who doesnt even have SLI...

Just try it sometime you will see a difference.

Here is a link look at the difference in SLI its double the performance not 10 FPS like you say...

http://www.gamespot.com/features/6181908/index.html

I tried it before. Deihmos

Well look at the link i posted it's a GT SLI review...

Well you paid almost $1000.00 for a video card.

I have no problems turning down settings like shadows and post processing to improve performance. It makes no difference in image but helps with the performance.

I wanna play the game higher than medium. My x1950 Pro isn't cutting it.

You think a patch could give me better performance?

People are complaining about performance issues, and I understand. However, I'm running this thing with EVERYTHING on Very High settings in Dx10 @ 1900x1200, and it's running as smooth as butter. I'm really enjoying Crysis.TkLive

with your monster PC, you better be enjoying it lol....

Indeed. His pc is really top of the line with overclocked stuff so no wonder he is playing Crysis the way it was meant to be played while the rest of us argue about optimization.
