I hate the core. But I managed to pass there. It's so difficult to find the exit... Look for tiny holes.
Yeah, it's hard to get out of the core. You have to keep floating around to find the exit. Sorry but I can't really tell you where it is. When I found it (accidentally), I whooped for joy and just dove in. Didn't bother to really see where it was.
Finally finished the game. I think it's not really that great. Best PC game of the year? Even without playing any other games yet, I wouldn't rate this very high.
Have read the feedback but still no improvement on higher settings Patch here: Download Crysis 1.1 Patch
Doesn't matter. Finished the game, average. Not planning to reinstall. I think I prefer COD4 over Crysis.
B4 I patched it, I benched with the built in Bin32 CPU n GPU tests. Then I patched it n benched again. Didnt even improve 1FPS! What performance patch is this? Useless patch. The Core is unbelievably stupid. There's a huge bug in that stage. I got into a hole that wasnt supposed to be there. Floated around for an hour b4 I decided it must be a bug. Checked online walktru to see where I'm actually supposed to go n true enuf I sorta entered a black hole. U can never come out from that hole once u enter it. U know the stage where u exit a tube into a chamber with the aliens floating around. Lotsa generators which u need to shoot out n the narration tells u "OK. Now I gotta keep moving". There's a tube right next to the tube u came out from, this tube has a kinda flow coming out of it n u cant enter it. I managed to go in there n guess where I reappeared? The screen just goes completely black. Move ur mse around for like 2 minutes n u'll see a faint spot far far away. Keep moving in that direction n after like 5 minutes of floating in that direction, u suddenly pop out in that huge hall where u killed that Korean general! Unbelievable. N there's no way to get back to where ur supposed to be too. It's like a 1 way street.
There was a bug that I found too. First level (yeah I replayed in on EXTRA HIGH - EVEN THRU THE SNOW PART - WEWT!), when I looked thru the reflex scope on the SCAR, everything except the reticule would turn dark. Probably rendering issue. Then after the core mission when u get thrown outwards (the alien knocks you off) the distorted vision stayed on and I thought hey, is this coz of extra high settings? LMAO! Then I reloaded the level and found out it wasn't (distortion view was gone).
Wow.. No way back? LOL! Major bug, man. But when I tested patch 1.1, it did improve performance... Just a little though. Results coming out soon.
LOL. I need to send my game back to Crytek for RMA. Also will request for reimbursement of my 1hour. Mebe it's the reso I tested at? Hmmmmmmmmm......I think I'll go try it again on my 2nd rig which runs an AMD X2 with 8800GT SLI n see what it does at 1280x800. Or mebe the patch doesnt improve anything in SLI?
