I think this leaked beta is based on a more polished version for X360 than PC. This is all speculation based on the amount of x360 and PS3 files in the ISO. I need to test the config lines to force DX10/11 but I have my doubts on that working properly since most people are saying the display info still reports DX9. I sure hope Crytek doesnt release the final product including PS3client stress tests and all sorts of useless console files.

I was trying to make the benchmark_GPU.bat work and then I realised it's a direct copy from the original Crysis Bin32/64. The commands and the path for the levels (including level names) all refer to Crysis1.

I tried the afformentioned fix for CFX and while flickering did go away I did not see any performance increase despite 60-80% usage on each GPU.

i think you are correct. those renderer files are useless as they have not been implemented into the build.

Seems Killzone 3 was leaked shortly after Crysis 2 was leaked.
Must be national leak month or something. :/

I did find this however. Someone uploaded a video and the streaming dev info does list "VeryHighSpec". In the spoiler link you can find a config for the game to force Vhigh.

This is another vid from the same guy actually showing some ingame scenes. (Vhigh as well)

;Place in a text file called autoexec.cfg in the root of your crysis folder.



crysis2

sys_game_folder=GameCrysis2
sys_dll_game=CryGameCrysis2.dll
sys_user_folder=Crysis2
sys_spec_Full=4

Change resolution r_width= example 1280,800,1600,1680
r_height=example 720,1024,1050,1080

Activate SLI or CF r_MultiGPU=[1,2] 0=SINGLE CARD

r_MultiGPU=0
r_driver=DX11
r_width=1680
r_height=1050
q_quality=3
q_ShaderGeneral=3
q_ShaderMetal=3
q_ShaderGlass=3
q_ShaderVegetation=3
q_ShaderIce=3
q_ShaderTerrain=3
q_ShaderShadow=3
q_ShaderWater=3
q_ShaderFx=3
q_ShaderPostProcess=3
q_ShaderHDR=3
q_ShaderSky=3
q_Renderer=3

r_ShaderCompilerServer=
r_ShadersRemoteCompiler=0

log_IncludeTime=1

Change language
sys_languages="english"

Turn on\off FPS on=1 off=0
r_displayInfo=0


!!!Attention!!!

This version of the game does not support full DX11, but with this configuration the game will use some of DX11 and all the settings are in very high instead of just hight. Making the game even more beautiful.

since a lot of that autoexec.cfg info conflicts with the new system.cfg info i am guessing to get autoexec.cfg to work you need to put the default info back into system.cfg :confused:

In the original Crysis you just needed either or. Just rename to "system.cfg_" or copy the config into system.cfg... your call really. Can't hurt to try, I would but I'm at work.

hrm, either way doesnt set quality to veryhighspec

maybe because i am using dx10 card...

edit: nope, you have to include system.cfg or the game will not load throwing a "failed to load game dll"

Hmmm... maybe try removing the r_driver=DX11 call

OK.. leave system config as default.. remove DX11 call from autoexec.cfg and try that.

it doesnt load autoexec.cfg either way. how do i know? because it starts in a window mode before going fullscreen which means it is reading the default system.cfg file.

Strange. And once loaded the game never shows Vhigh?

I'll try this when I get home. I only assumed this would work because it shows it in the video I found. Here is the link to the original. http://www.rbctwitter.com/150717-news-crysis-2-beta-dx11-very-high-fix-slicf-possible-fix/

i think it is a load of crap because setting something like r_driver=DX11 does nothing anyway. i am pretty sure anything above dx9 and high settings is impossible in this build.

they dont exist.

I knew I was right!

I tried that Very high config as well and I just keep getting High Specs.

I tried to manually change the settings from 2 to 3 and it wouldn't let me so I don't know how that guy did it.

if you look at the video you can see he is using the editor that is provided. my guess is somewhere in the editor settings you can change it.

Oh! interesting. The editor has a Very High Spec option, as well as a PS3, Xbox, High, and Med graphic settings. I just didn't know you could full screen like that in the editor.

Perhaps there is someway to get the settings from the Editor and apply it to the game. Perhaps...

I just used:
sys_spec=4
After the dx11 palova, my mates now looks like this:
Code:
; crysis2

sys_game_folder=GameCrysis2
sys_dll_game=CryGameCrysis2.dll
sys_user_folder=Crysis2
sys_float_exceptions=0
sys_spec=4

log_IncludeTime = 0
sys_languages = "english"


r_displayInfo = 1


con_restricted = 0
r_width = 1280
r_height = 1024


That kept the game at VeryHighSpec still with the deformable terrain.

I'm on mobile broadband, I got about 50MB of my monthly limit left, but I'll give you a snippet hold on.

EDIT: By the way, F12 does a screenshot, and saves it in:

C:\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games\Crysis2\ScreenShots (windows7)

I DON'T recommend experimenting with the Fxx buttons. One of them is "Delete Savegame". Lots of fun with that. F10 is interesting though...

ANOTHER EDIT: The screenie below is using the .cfg settings in my last post.

i can confirm this works but the graphics do not look any better. also, frame rate stays the same which is further evidence to my point.
