The chaps over at

The InCrysis have word from Crytek on the status of Crysis patches, the SDK, and the Linux dedicated server:

You cant fix a game which is buggered due to performance, design and story issues, hopefully a mod will regain some of these.

Never believe the hype it's marketing remember !

This is pathetic support!
The priorities are all wrong...the game is SP primarily, not MP.
The fact that they cannot address the SP issues first, means it's more than likely going to be a BIG patch....
Regardless, this shipped in this state AND it's EA behind it, so they have the resources to have worked on the SP patch before it hit retail.
The fact that pi$$es me off is the scripts and triggers *MAIN STORYLINE* just don't work right through the game.
It's not that it's a PC hardware/driver or config problem either? It's just shoddy testing and BAD game code. There's NO excuse for no BASIC END LEVEL testing, you have to use the -devmode console command to complete it.
Is this how THEY tested it.....
If this had been a budget company and a first release, it could be excused. But it's EA -like they OWN nearly everything sold on PC or console and Crytek have fallen big-time off their high horse.

Weird...I have almost no problems running the game (yeah, I don't even try to run at anywhere near max settings tho). No memory leaks (even after playing for hours).

My only problem is audio. Sometimes (usually) the in-game cut-scenes where other characters are talking overlap each other...meaning they all say their dialogue at the same time...which is kinda not good.

Other than that the game runs perfectly on my crappy 2 year old (and not bleeding edge even then) system. Single player only...MP is kinda pointless on dialup.

turn your settings higher, you'll get the leaks... more texters/shadows more memory.... more memory leaks... the game will run fine like i say good fps.. the all of a sudden BAM.. i lose alot of FPS and i can finnish what i started...

i really like the single player... i love games with stealth reminds me of predator.. it should be aliens VS predator VS crysis lol....

Good point Stumpus this is a clear example when you globalise a market its good for shareholders but not for the end users whom enrich these fatcats. In other words mediocrity abound and without a creative cell between them just hype fancy graphics and performance eating behemoth.

I love the part where he realizes he's acting like Hitler and pulls it together a bit.

It would be a good engine for someone to use to make the next AvP game...hint hint.

You know, assuming they fix it first.
