Crysis 2 only DX9 - DX11 will be "later" with an update

[DilTech]

Graphics is nice though, but not that nice to justify that on my rig game runs like crap even on the lowest settings. Truth be told, I don't have the newest card either, but I ain't either buying a new one for this.

Overall it is quite bad provided this is the kind of game which is sold because of the graphics as the storyline is crap and gameplay is not quite compelling.

You're on 3870x2 and both SLi and CF are having issues with this game, so it's probably not even running in CF mode.

I can tell you right now, an overclocked GTX 460 maxes this game out without issue at 1920x1080 with 4xtransparency SSAA enabled. It's definitely a well optimized engine.

As for people hunting for spots with bad textures, you can literally do that with every single game ever made. In motion the game looks damn good, and I'm finding the single player thus far to be a fun experience.

Personally, I'd assume that we'll end up seeing better textures with the DX11 patch.

you don't think what is achieved on xbox and ps3 with cryengine 3 suggests it's well optimised?

What does that sentence even mean ? :/ even if it was meant to be offensive, i'd report that for making no sense lolz

I did, lights flickers like mad, eye-strain and nausea, would probably trip a migraine if I played too long.

Turning V-Sync off helps a bit but then I get tearing. I'm going to have to hold off playing it until a patch/driver/profile is out.

Am I the only one that thinks this was a tad rushed?

are you kidding? every door you have to open (e.g. the large gates to new york downtown in the beginning) looks like crap. a blurry, muddy pixelparty... just like many of the ground textures. horrible!

there are a lot of spots in crysis 2 that have subpar textures. often objects that you can't even avoid and downright catch your eye...

don't get me wrong. crysis 2 looks beautiful - the lighting in crysis 2 is just miles ahead of the lighting in crysis 1. vanilla crysis 1 doesn't look that good - i've replayed it a few weeks ago and i was quite shocked however, textures are definately a step (or even two steps ) backwards. yet again i blame the crap consoles. well, old story got old - unfortunately, that's nothing new. the only new thing is that this time it hit crytek, which were famous for pushing the limits of graphics.

so far, the sp is decent and fun to play (except that there's no possibility to save except at the autosave checkpoints...). the mp on the other hand is a total mess. even worse than the demo (which was quite bad already).

i hope crytek patches the sh*t out of the game, else i'll get über mad + i still have hopes the so called "dx11 patch" sees the light of day and improves the graphics.

Imho the so called DX11 patch just going to enable some feature that are already in game.

E.g. POM or some other feature that can easly be done and work in dx9... then just slap it in the DX11 quality settign and done... would be not the first time...

ty. I built my first computer and added a (already outdated) 6850 card to play games with...but my main thing are multiplayer FPS type games...so far..online sucks for Crysis 2.

I'm not a benchmark guy or anything, just someone who enjoys gaming and messing around with computers a little, but graphics wise..this is sad. After so much hype etc ..Metro 2033 gives my little card more of a strain then this so far..

BTW, anyone beat the campaign yet? (Sorry if its been previously mentioned, I wasn't willing to read 12 pages at the moment)
