the crysis beta is terrible

wow this was horrible. on the rig in my sig i could BARELY run it on medium and it wanst very playable it just didnt lagg lieke crazy. I swear if the demo is like this, im not even going to consider touching the game. the sad part is that u can see a good game underneath but its so poorly optimized that you cant even play.

Um, NDA?Einhanderkiller

Saying the game is choppy violates NDA? Like those things ever work.

I find it hard to believe anybody could get kicked out of a beta by breaking NDA on gamespot. How would they ever link your gamespot account with your beta account unless you told them? Doesn't add up...

it isn't your gpu, don't listen to the people with the vram, they know jack all about PC's. It is just a beta, lack of full optimization. Give it time.

Also, what settings and at what resolution are you playing it at? That may cause some problems.

Its likely just bad optimization. Maybe it doesnt like your brand motherboard, maybe it got dissed by the memory...who knows, but the game WILL run well on your setup upon completion. Thats the important thing.

Just in case, however, I would still do the demo before buying.

if that is the case then how were hey able to show crysis on e3 and leipzeg conventions.when i first heard about this game i had a feeling that even the 8 series cards will have difficulties playing this game.........its turning out to be true.

:( :( :( :( :( :( this news is making me reallll sad.

"*This is a closed beta under NDA. You may not share any information related to the beta. Please refer to the beta NDA for further information."

So, yes, saying the game is choppy violates the NDA. The game developers are simply asking that we not disclose any information about the game just yet as it may hurt them in the future. We should show them some respect for working their asses off to create this game.

they have a 320m card and can barely run it on medium... it's the GAME

sheesh

Possibly the lack of 512MB or more VRAM? also try OCing the CPU and Grafx Card,you should notice a considerable performance jump.Indestructible2

His computer is more than good enough to run Crysis, I'm sure. But it's beta, what do you expect? Of course it's going to be horribly programmed and optimized.

i hope wat u r saying is true.....i hope this game runs smooth on a decent computer....now im feeling a little better

Also alot of games recently have been having compatibility problems(for me). SupCom wasn't playable with AV on. ET:QW couldn't have a second display running or I would get 1-2fps on my easily badass rig. My guess its either optimization issue or something that will most likely be fixed after release (only said most likely because we all know how EA goes about patches).

Oh god. Quake Wars' demo was absolutely terrible in every way (performance). I could barely play the damn thing on medium. If you ask me, I say demos are as half as important as the actual game...that's the only way we PC gamers can determine good performance with the real game or not before we buy it.

They would only be hurting the sale of their own product if they didn't make it scalable and optimized for the high-end rig

You expect a 320mb card to run it on medium? If they can pull that off then kudos to Crytek.

Given the footage i've seen I was expecting my twin 768mb 8800GTX's to struggle on the higher sittings so a single 320mb card running it on medium... maybe but who knows.

Then from that logic you are telling me that Crytek is making a game that will stuggle with rigs that are owned by 0.001% of their client base. In which case they will go out of business and deserve it 100%. That isn't the case, but you probably won't realize that until it is released. By release or patch 1 or 2 it will probably run on high with no AA on dual 256 SLI. Why do I say that? Because that is the only way they will SELL GAMES. They will optimize it for the average computer and high-end rigs will be able to run it with all eye candy.

I wonder why EA and Crytek put up CLOSED OFF beta boards that only approved beta testers could access after getting the password. I mean, you got gamespot boards and IGN!, why waste time on putting the flag in the ground signaling "FOCAL POINT FOR BETA INFO" when people are STILL gonna dance around it?

/facepalm

Lets hope the final game runs better from the Beta

Or else many people are going to avoid buying it

I dont think you can expect a beta to be very optimized.

You are smoking crack.

A 320 MB card should run it maxed at 1280x720 no problem. 8800gts 320 runs every game maxed so far for me at 1360x768 at 40-60fps. Dont make things up. Your dual 768 isn't going to struglle and you know it you are just saying that because you want people to think you are way cool for having a rich kid system.

Anyways A: Its Beta B: it could be an issue with the guys PC

Yea I have the following : C2D 2.4ghz @ stock speeds Evga 8800GTS 640mb @ Stock speeds 2 gig Ram 500gig Raid config Running on Windows Vista 32bit with the latest Nvidia drivers for crysis. My average FPS = around 15-25 fps..... Regardless if its Crysis or not, people aren't gonna keep playing it if its unplayable, they need to hurry up and at least make it playable so that folks will continue to play it, to give them feedback.shaggymcp

Ugh...can you tell us your resolution. Your FPS doesn't mean squat if you are running at 2400x1200 or whatever.

listen, stop being morons, please! its a BETA, its not polished, and poorly optimized right now. there doing this for bugs and improvements, its going to run reasonably crappy reguardless of what you have.

how many plp dont understand the word beta? It means testing, means there still making the game. What did you expect? Smooth, balanced gameplay with 100 percent optimization? BETA! BETA BETA! not demo BETA!darkfox101

Just my two-penneth but I wouldn't have thought a 320mb card would play Crysis on anything better than high-low or low-med. I'm just going on the footage I've seen - it looks like it's going to be a real system hog. & I think the beta excuse is bs TBH. We're too near gold for any major changes to the code.
