Anyone know where the Crysis 2 save game folder is located? Both Crysis and Crysis Warhead had their save games folder located in a sub Documents MyGames folder, but I don't see any folders in there for Crysis 2 :confused:
I have the steam version btw.

As we reported yesterday, PC pirates were able to play online on the official servers. Not for long however, which will definitely bring a smile to those that bought the game. According to Cry-Tom from MyCrysis, Crytek is preparing a patch that will resolve a lot of the post-launch issues. It will also include some improvements to Crysis 2′s security. These updates will be made available via automatic-download later this week.
Do not confuse this patch with the rumored DX11 update. There were some rumors that it would be released today but we can safely say that it won’t. After all, Crytek twitted yesterday that this DX11 update will be coming soon. Now if it was going to be released today, the company would have said that it is coming tomorrow instead of ‘coming soon’. Our guess about DX11′s update release? About half a month from now!

Thanks MfA :up:
Is this the patch you speak of:

No patch was ever confirmed, I have no idea why this website even posted such information. This thread is locked just the same as the others for trying to spread inaccurate information. When there are any big announcements regarding Crysis 2 they will be posted on MyCrysis, if you read something about a patch for example, but don't see it on MyCrysis.com, then it isn't genuine.
I'm running CCC and CAP 11.4 on a 4870x2 still got flickering lights.Quote:

This is a direct quote from the user "SoilentBlue" on OCN,
"milliseconds. It means that using the DX11 API, there's a huge overhead of unused compute time that gives the engineers the ability to add in more features, content, etc. It's great because it means that PC will have much more than consoles. It's horrible because that shows just how much consoles held back the PC version. Console developers fight tooth and nail just to scrounge an additional ms for anything.
Basically, the video card takes time to preform the tonnes of computations to render out a single frame. With a millisecond being a unit of time, it goes to show you just how much a computer can do in that duration. The minimum spec for PC has the video card shelling out over 500 gigaflop/s and it's not even a DX11 card. If memory serves, the first DX11 cards came three generations later (9k series, 200 series, and arriving on the 300 series).
According to the CE3 autopsy posted a couple of days ago, water ripple propogation took only .2 milliseconds on consoles. The 16 ms in comparison would be akin to adding water propogation 80 times and not having any hindrance on performance, we still have to wait and see how much they will cram in but yes it's a VERY VERY good thing. to give you an idea of it sun shadows(very demanding) take between 2-5ms. they are talking about a good chunk of overhead before damaging your current fps. the new engine is quite impressive so we will see just how far they go now that they are not having to cater to consoles. "
understand?... I think this should be added to OP with a referance to the twitter post.
don't really understand the time base explanation.
16ms would be the total time in which to calculate the next pixel for the entire screen to be ready for the next frame at 60FPS. Quite a lot of math. But completely dependent on how powerful your graphics card is.
16ms overhead on some unknown computer system with DX11 running the current settings for a target FPS of 60 would mean that the calculations are done in about 1ms and is waiting 16ms until the next frame is needed. i.e. they are running at like 900fps.
Yep, totally don't get the explanation :P Anyone with better (i.e. some) knowledge of graphical implementation and make me sound look a total noob?
on which platform it takes 16 ms we talking about? in same time a GTX 580 can do a lot more than a HD5770 :P
Yea that's what I'm not getting. Which card is giving them 16ms overhead in DX11. It won't be static since different cards have different computational power, right?
So if a GTX 480 gives them 16ms of overhead, a GTX 580 would give more?
Are they basing the 16ms off the minimum/recommended GPU?
I mean I'm running everything maxed @ 2560x1600 using that third party "Advanced Graphics Options" program and have yet to see a stutter. All with a single GTX 580 1.5GB.
I meant the save games folder.. NVM though, I found it. It's located in the C:\User\Saved Games folder.Quote:

Crysis 2 uses textures half the size of Crysis 1. While that is necessary to get the thing running in consoles, it's not necessary in the PC version.
Also, they reused some textures from Crysis 1 with the difference of being half in size (Photoshop DDS resize ftl). That means they could have very well put the original ones for the PC version, but didn't.
There's no way anyone can deny the fact the game was made for consoles anymore.
Let's hope the whole thing about using those 16ms of overhead to improve the PC version is true.
Sacred 2 also uses that folder :P. Don't know any other game that does though.Quote:

ITs ture that there are textures that have lower res then in crysis on.. there is even one texture that is only 256x256 compared to 1024x1024 on crysis1. But most ofthe time the textures are the same 512x512, most of the street texture are lower and most of the foilage textures.Quote:

Here's some proper Crysis 2 benchmarks on a variety of video cards and CPUs:

Nvidia does quite well, as does the Core i7 processor.. And I finally found out the difference between Extreme and Very high.. Too bad that Extreme enables AA and blurs everything though.. :(

Game definitely looks a lot better when you run it on extreme minus AA:

Remember that deferred rendering performed using DirectX9 does not play kindly with traditional FSAA methods, hence developers having to use work arounds like non-maskable FSAA, edge bluring etc.
HOWEVER deferred rendering using DirectX 10/11 is friendly with FSAA.
