5 as default , Tages (And SecuROM) standard. Smile

1.1 didn't properly install, ended up as part files in the default dir, that is fixed now however.

Gamer - Advanced - Hardcore becomes the mis-informing High - Highest and Extreme instead which is inaccurate as far as I'm aware as it's just a translation change.

Console is also re-activated helping out greatly and there's a benchmark .bat file.



EDIT: So that's why the console commands didn't take properly, aha.

I'm not that technical apt about this sort of stuff but maybe you're right about what AMD and the others have talked about, I wouldn't know though since it's above my skill level and knowledge, haha. Smile

That said texture memory for a 1024x1024 .dds is still about 1 MB, plus it's compressed (artifacts.) and might rely on other data (normalmap, specular map, depth map such on.) so stuff like 2048x2048 is still rather rare (Main character such as the nanosuit here for example.) for more open games loading a couple hundred textures as that would go above even the 2GB limit of todays high-end GPU's, streaming makes this manageable somewhat though but would cause stutter instead. (Sacred 2 is a great example here with it's 9GB "Elite" texture pack.)

That's just a guess though.


2048x2048 should't be rare at this time with current hardware. 4096x4096 should be the exception, with Shader level 5 (DX11) 16K textures are allowed that would make for lovely scenery (imagine one/two big textures for a whole level instead of tiled textures all over) and indeed streaming and memory management has evolved well although most hardware still use 256bit bus for that while a 512bit bus could be done already (if i'm not mistaken the X1950 had a 512bit bus)

All in all we are still limited by the api as it's handling all kinds of hardware and specifications as with consoles theres 1 set of hardware that can be optimized to hell.

the benchmark bat was already there before the update ?

DX9, FRAPS use a black border around the FPS counter for DX10, 10.1 and 11 yet here it's transparent so it's DX9, I'm sure it can be checked better but I'm sure of it.

A DX11 update should arrive eventually but we'll see, hopefully it'll be something of interest and not just tesselation+ again, haha. Smile
(Better performance, direct compute acceleration - though that seems unlikely - improved shader code or even new effects entirely for example and that's just small basic stuff I suppose.)

Launch CrysisLauncher.exe directly instead of the game exe and it should connect and update. Smile
(US and EU region at least, that might be the issue if you are from outside that area but I doubt it, patch is probably available for all regions and game versions.)

EDIT: SecuROM is what I talked about and compared to, it uses Solidshield/Tages online activation (As with AC:Brotherhood.)

also you can see if the update applied right as it makes a Backup folder with some old/overwritten files in it (the old ones will be in this folder)

Interesting and useful to know, from what I saw the patch used a .diff file thing to compare and update the main exe, launcher and activation related files only but it might have created or updated some small .pak archive as well for the localization data unless it's in the exe directly (Not all of it but the core for option translations and the like.)

I dload the ali213big5 clone, wtf, it's actually a hdd version, no istaller, I run the CrysisLauncher.exe, it did dload the update, but told me it could find the install dir

anyway I think 1.1 patch doesn't contain any performance improvement, so I don't bother with it, keep on gaming to the save location I archeived with Crysis 2 beta. Very Happy

Yeah, he "Circumvented" it, and later it was properly cracked by Reloaded Smile

Btw. This Solidshield is the same as with Dead Space 2, so I'm guessing that we will see a release from Fairlight within 24 hours.

Well, you know, he didn't respect the code of the scene so that doesn't count Laughing. There's a scene release from RELOADED anyway so I don't know what b0se is talking about. I don't know about that other game though.

LOL! Dumb-ass scene rules. Very Happy

Oh and X3-TC wasn't "cracked" but it did have a non-protected executable from the beta that functions fine on the retail game... though it's a moot point anyhow since Egosoft have removed protection now =)

Well the game has similar flaws to Crysis, excessive blur to mask stuff and low-res textures (Masked with detail inlays and layers or what it's called.)










How run this game your machine?

Yes, perfectly playable and with no issues either. Just grab the latest patch for X3-TC and play! The patch itself removes the protection =)
