Got it working properly, had to register some bs code with ea link to get the other version working.

Thanks Mr. Miyagi grabbing it,not as fast as 1.5 but steady as she goes.

Pretty much completed the demo, been a fun time picking people off, looks very nice

Ran pretty flawlessly on my C2D 2.2, 2GIG DDR2 RAM, 8800GTS 320mb.
Everything on High except Postprocessing on Medium, ran far better than the Beta did. Didn't have AA on as the beta didn't support it, this prolly does tho

Hello Everyone,

We have two mirrors online for Crysis SP Demo. We have a West Coast and Central USA Mirrors online for anyone who wants to download them.

Links on the home page: http://www.servercommand.org

Enjoy!

Has anyone managed to run the demo in dx9 mode? Constantly crashes for me.



just got it working, for some reason the dx9 performance in vista is worse than the dx10 performance.

[rudedog]

I was going to say give me a couple just got up, the demo finished downloading very late last night.

However I'm only running it under XP. It will take a bit longer to update my vista driver, however I want to test it there as well.

BTW, there is a bat file to run a performance test and give you results like:
ncluded in the /Bin32 directory is a cpu/gpu benchmark, each benchmark runs 4 loops and reports your numbers at the end. So lets see how it runs on everyone rig, i'll start, specs are in my sig.

1680x1050 res, everything med detail, no AA/AF, ran in xp
GPU - 15min / 30avg / 42max
CPU - 20min / 28avg / 33max

You can view the ongoing benchmark thread here at nVnews.net

The vista driver that was released killed my performance, even high settings were maxing at about 15fps which was what I was getting previously with the very high settings. With the older driver I get around 25-30 Fps with high settings.

Create a new config file. Lets call it tweak.cfg. Copy all that to the new config file.

Place it in the config folder. Now start Crysis with the command line: crysis.exe +exec tweak

Or just add +exec tweak to your Crysis shortcut.
Or put that line into a bat file in your bin32 folder and make a new shortcut to it.

* Note 1, Vista support sucks for both DX10 and DX9, however running this config in DX9 mode under XP will give you almost the same visuals as DX10 under Vista.

* Note 2, Always back up the original

Also found tweaks for your congif.

Damn i hate all the intro and exit ads. UT3 demo was stupid with how many it had, at least they were skippable.

[rudedog]

we have a fix for that as well

Go to

C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis SP Demo\Game\Localized\Video

and either delete all the *.sfd files or do what I did, create a backup folder in the video folder and dump all the *.sfd files there. Now when you launch your shortcut (without the above switches) it will go right info the main menu.

To quickly exit, pull down the console (~) and type quit

However there is one .sfd file that is the background of the main menu, which you don't need to remove if you don't want to.

The editors pretty fun been making tornados and giving them super power, sucks in physics objects from pretty much the entire level and sends them flying.

Seen some odd glitches in game though, sometimes if you throw a barrel it goes straight through trees
