Crysis problems

Reece · 11-24-09, 04:27 AM

I have had Crysis for some time now but don't play it because I have some strange problems, heres a couple:
1) Quite often the game goes into or runs in slow motion, have to reload to fix.
2) If I hit space to miss video the game gets stuck at that spot, my team mate just stays at that point!
BTW I have patched to version 1.2 but lower right of screen shows 1.1

Any help appreciated.

Can't think of anything other than a reïnstall, maybe DL patches again. Perhaps something got corrupted along the way.

Reece · 11-24-09, 06:28 PM

Do you know if the number at the lower right on the screen is supposed to show 1.2?

Might give it a reinstall anyway!

so... your getting slow motion and the cutscene skiping problem...

what kind of pc do ya have reece?

never had these issues in crysis...

Id do as Arclight said and reinstall, patch up... and update drivers...

Ehr, might indicate something went wrong with patching, which is why re-downloading those might be a good idea. A patch could be corrupt after DL, but I think normally the installer checks the integrity. Another thing could be that you tried applying a US or Europe patch to a different version; some games have different patches depending on the region the game was released in, but again the installer should pick up on that.

Not sure if this applies to Crysis though, nor am I familiar with the issues you're reporting, so it's a stab in the dark really.

Getting the patches again and trying to patch is probably faster than reïnstall, so you could try that first.

Good point.

What are you running on, and what graphics-driver version are you using?

*There's a possible fix for the slowdowns; apparently it's caused by excessive accesing of the page-file, which would seem to indicate it's running out of RAM (last 2 posts): http://www.techsupportforum.com/gami...ns-crysis.html
Weird since I ran it on 2GB without issues, but that was on XP (I'm guessing you have Vista).

Are you running in DX10? Might try DX9 mode.

Reece · 11-24-09, 09:47 PM

System is OK:

Quote:

AMD Dual core PhenomII Deneb 3.7ghz
4gb Kingston ram NB 2020mhz DRAM 538mhz x 2 (1076)
ATI HIS Turbo HD4850 512mb
Win XP with DX9

This slow motion only seems to happen with a certain key combo that I may hit by mistake every now and then.
I just totally uninstalled Crysis cleaned up any trace of it then reinstalled, before running it I applied the 1.2 patch (380mb). All seemed to go ok, then fired it up for the first time, this is the screen:

As you can see at the lower right it is still version 1.1!

Task Force · 11-24-09, 10:21 PM

Think mine says that also, ya tryed what Arclight posted... with the config?

(whats this button combo?)

Arclight · 11-24-09, 10:22 PM

Mine reads 1.1.1.6156.

That's with the 1.2.1 patch installed as well. Guess it's at least patched correctly.

I don't know, like I said this is an unfamiliar issue to me. Give it a spin, see if the slowdowns are gone. That thread I linked to earlier might help.

* running out of VRAM? Turn down graphics, particularly texture details.

** regular crap: latest driver version, latest DX9 version, perhaps SP3 for XP.

*** or maybe an older driver.

A driver that was around when Crysis was released may have been used for actual testing of the game, making it less likely to intefere with it. Really a long shot, that one.

Thanks for confirming that Arclight and Yours is the same as well Task Force!

Well that confirms the install is ok.

I had just come on to say that I downloaded the patch again, did a compare of the 2 files and they are identical, if the key combo causes the slowdown again I will have to try the link you supplied Arclight making a config file in the game main folder.

Since your reading this I notice there are many mods around to improve the texturing for this game, can you recommend any?

Reece · 11-25-09, 03:11 AM

Well the slow motion seems to be fixed, might have been the reinstall, though I have another error now that I didn't have before, when I kill the guys in the Humvee the guy (bot) just stays there, does nothing, but I can't use the vehicle!

Arclight · 11-25-09, 11:18 AM

Shooting the jerrycan on the back will fix that. Just don't expect to be driving anywhere after that.

Maybe save-reload, or a level restart. Not really a critical issue, right?

As for mods, that's TF's field of experience. I don't mod games very often. This one is pretty cool though: All Crysis Needed Was A Flux Capacitor

Dowly · 11-25-09, 11:29 AM

Holy..

That's AWESOME!!!

Task Force · 11-25-09, 02:20 PM

Hmm... reece, thats a problem with crysis, lots of bugs that havent been crushed...

Did you get the jeep tire bug also. (first level after patching usualy has the jeeps with only 2 tires.)

did you shoot him? and he stayed like that, or did you just find him like that?

Oah and reece... what kind of textures ya looking for...

I will say tho, crysis has to be one of my favorite platforms, because It can be turnt into vurtualy any game... people do alot of remakes of old games with it, or make entire levels/games with there own ideas. (look over at crymod for other mods, people have made come cool stuff.)

Reece · 11-25-09, 07:49 PM

The Delorian looks great, downloading that now!

From a distance he was shooting me & I let him have it, the shooting stopped as I killed him, I have come across 2 Humvees both the same, when I was close I took the snap, shooting him does nothing, haven't noticed the 2 wheels yet, this is the first level, I have started this many many times and getting sick of it, hopefully I don't have to start it again!!

The Texture mods are many, I have DX9 but there are mods such as DX10 unlockers, are they usable with DX9? many others such as Natural mod, Improved Grass and Trees, MEMOD, Particles mod, this causes CTD's, I use JSGME so I can easily take them out but wondered if you knew of the best mods to use.

Task Force · 11-25-09, 08:47 PM

Hmm how do you have JSMEG set up... have its root in

Where ever its located/Crysis/Game.

all depending on the file type it probably is in a PAK file... all you have to do is place them in your Game folder.

And The reason he is not dead (guy on hummer.) is because the game didnt give him his death animation for some reason. Crysis has alot of bugs and glitches...

ya need any help on what to do, ive played the entire game numerous times...

(could you give me links, dont worry, modding crysis isnt like il2, the makers support it.)

and yes, there is a DX 10 effects in DX 9 thingy...
