Crysis Warhead dropping exclusively on PC this Fall

[dengyong]

not really, I enjoyed the beginning of it a lot, gfx especially, the part where there's zero gravity was cool, but after that it just got boring, kinda like a movie that you control the movement. The gameplay is too linear, that's why games like WoW are so successful, the user can control the entire game

I didn't like parts of the original, but I really like a lot of the user created maps.
It's almost like a new game every time, it's just the same type.

Yeah I'm pissed to but EA doesn't give a flying what we think. I'm not going to miss out on a ton of games because I don't support DRM.

That's what happens when you use a profile based multi-GPU approach like NV and ATI use now. Try 8.9 but don't expect any scaling till 8.10 or an intermediate hotfix.

8.9 Betas seem to scale. I dunno, guys at Rage3D get 30FPS on an X2 with a GTX280 getting 15 on 1920...


First time that I've seen Crossfire eclipse SLi. On a TWIMTBP game I might add.

Any maps you'd recommend?

While the X2 numbers may be real... 15 with a GTX280 at 1920? Something strange there. Link please.

BTW who has tagged this thread with multithreaded haha. Remids me of that thread where Gothrek got banned

What I said in the other thread, driver problems FTW. Wait till the 'magic' new beta drivers from NV and you'll see at least the single GTX280 at least on pra with the 4870. That being conservative, the 280 will beat it no doubts.

Funny how NV has this problems considering the Crytek - NV - TWIMTBP combination

Tri-Sli GTX 280 love here.

If this game didnt have stupid aliens it would be an awesome game, those ice levels and dumb looking aliens kill it, this game would have been better as a realistic military shooter

[XS2K]

Well the Ice levels were a lot of fun for me,even just for the WOW!!! factor though the aliens were quite stupid.
Cryengine has military applications too,I wouldn't be surprised if some modders would look deeper into them...

Crysis = Diakatana.




After being burned on Farcry and Crysis I flat at refuse to put any money towards another Crytek product.

Mascaras how about using DX9 instead of DX10

im using windows Vista !

if its steam ad -dx9 to the launch options when you right click the game

if its retail version , open the vista games folder ...Start > games , right click the crysis warhead icon , then play in Dx9 mode

[kryptobs2000]

Does Warhead support 64-bit? I can't see why it wouldn't, but I just installed it and as I was going to delete the annoying intro videos I noticed there is no Bin64 folder this time, just a Bin32. Anyone know what the deal is w/that? I'm running Vista x64.

Doesn't matter, add -DX9 to the shortcut. When I had Crossfire DX9 scaling was A LOT better than DX10. Well and for single card DX9 just destroys DX10.

There is no point in using DX10 with Crysis, all is the same (except perfomance)

its a games for windows game , therefore it should support 64bit , just like the last crysis game

Damn r_texturestreaming 0 doesen't work
The game really runs nice,with the shadows and Blur set to medium and the rest to enthusiasth - the r_usepom which disables the 16XAF @ 1400x900,better than the original Crysis anyway.
Hope tomorrow I will have more time to tweak it.
Also set the game budget to your system so you don't encounter swap.

Also the game looks better when you play it,much more details than in the prntscrns and a BMP/PNG is to big.

actully no , it doesnt support 64bit , this is in light of Punkbuster and its infinity iness of not supporting 64bit anything , its rumoured to come in a patch..
