Re: Crysis problems.
Further investigation results--
The two updates to Crysis help, but do not eliminate the problems.
There is a bug in Crysis that eventually causes the save game function to
fail when a saved game is selected. The resoluton seems to be to uninstall
and completely reinstall Crysis and all the patches.
..DLL modules involved--
d3d10 & d3d10core
atidxx32 (ver 9.8, 9.9, 9.10 drivers)
msvcr80 (involved in crashes from menu) (Win 7 version)
Higher graphics resolution and high or ultra high detail increase the
failure frequency.
Other trivia.
The desktop PC runs win 7 RTM Pro (same as retail)
Video card is a Diamond ATI HD4890
CPU AMD Phenom II 955 3.2G
MBD ASUS M4A79 (DDR2 memory 4G two matched strips OCZ1066G
910W PS
CPU & GPU temps never exceeed 55dC (Lots of fans and airflow.)
My Vista HP Laptop (totally different hardware) exhibited similar problems
with the exception of NVIDIA laptop GPU & drivers instead of ATI drivers &
hardware.
Since the problems occur more frequently in the last two game chapters, it
seems that they were likely not debugged as well as the earlier chapters.
Crysis Wars does not exhibit the same problems or at least not to the level
that prevents playing the game to it's end.
And, I noticed that EA is going to lay off 250 employees. What do you want
to bet that the minimal support for Crysis goes completely away.
