Is that always in view? or just in very specific spots of the map?

[philbrown23]

mine doesn't have that, it did when I had my nvidia cards though, you running nvidia?

[Solaris17]

ya dual 9600's


@Darknova ya it is..its intresting because it doesnt act like a glitch but more of a solid object you cant see it if your behind a tree and when you walk away it gets further away its in every map somewhere kinda bothers me its like a dead pixel i always see it. but its always in the same spot map to map its in a different location but within each map it will always be in the same place.

i have it to

[Solaris17]

[Morgoth]

[Solaris17]

with one card presetn its their and with 2 another pops up and always has been from vanilla crysis 1.0 to 1.1 to 1.2 and every reinstall yeilded the same thing

This probably doesn't help at all, but I've never seen or had that glitch. I have a 8800GT, if that information is of any use.

[Solaris17]

did it on my 8600 as well maybe its a version thing? i dont have the special edition of crysis just the normal one...though all thats diff in the special version is bonus dvd's and "the making of" as well as a book or something with art so its the same game

[jbunch07]

i think its just a glitch in the game because i get it on my 3870

[Snipe343]

delete your shader folder and see if it does anything, not that you dont want it there

[Solaris17]

so if i do that does it come back upon starting the game? is it like a temp folder?

also snipe that avitar looks like a bunny dressed up assassins creed style.

I have it too. It's most noticable on the level where Prophet is taken by the alien, if you walk along the river bank, there's one hovering like 3 feet above the river. It seems to only be there after a save though. e.g. Autosave while I'mrunning along the bank, turn round and poof! It's there.

Yeah mines got that, also seen it on other computers, with ati and nvidia cards, i only really noticed on the first level tbh...

[Easy Rhino]

yea ive seen that as well. at first i thought it was a smudge on the monitor.

[Solaris17]

anyone running multiple cards get more than 1 like me?

[philbrown23]

I rin 3 hd3870's and have the regular version with no patches and it's not there, I'm like scouring the sky looking for this friggin thing, lol

[Solaris17]

the easiest one to spot is the one in the first map...you know when you get to the beach and their are 2 jeeps and a bunch of guys crouched around the rocks? its after you take out the first rada jammer its on that shoreline hovering over the water

i was playin around last night and came across it again in the assault level.

[Lt_JWS]

Its just a signal flare.... they just get stuck after the enemy calls in reinforcements.

[Solaris17]
