In the middle of a Crysis here!

So Cysis is finally working on my system now. All it took was for NVidia to own up to the fact that their hardware drivers don't work al that well with 3D games. Now that they posted an updated Forceware driver all is right with the world once again.

Well, maybe not completely "right". What I mean is, the game's video doesn't skip anymore and remains a playable frame rate. BUT I have to turn down the settings still in order to get a playable frame rate. I run Crysis at 1260 x 960 (Or something like that) I only have Anti-Aliasing turned up to 2x and all the advanced graphical settings are at High, except for textures which is at Very High. I have a couple of things turned down to medium like shadows and sound, but that is not a big deal.

All in all, the game is really good but it is in desperate need of a patch. I encountered a number of bugs so far. For Example:

During the game there are certain areas where the textures just disappear and you are looking through the object in question. This also goes for AI characters and your gun model etc. Suddenly I found myself looking across the map at an enemy but I had a building and a bunch of other stuff in my way. Other times I couldn't find the stairs leading up to a building because I just couldn't see them. That is a real pain let me tell you. I dies a couple times because I couldn't see the barrel that was blocking my retreat. Y'know, a bunch of crap like that.

Let's see what else.. . . Oh yeah, I couldn't launch the 64 bit version of the game from the crysis64.exe in the 64bit bin folder. The game just hangs up. There was also the problem of the game freezing (or almost freezing) while I was playing. In some random spots the game just decides that it has had enough and just stops.

I looked around on the Crysis forums and found that there are a number of people that have a similar configuration of PC that I do and are having the exact same issues. So, hopefully the game will be patched soon. I haven't even attempted to play this bad boy online yet, anticipating that the number of problems would make the whole experience just way too frustrating.

Anyways - Here's hoping that the rest of you that are playing Crysis are having a better go of it than I. Even with all it's problems I still think it is a great game. They just need to fix the bugs in it. I really hope that it comes out on the 360. That would be awesome.
