I have to agree with you there. I like ATI's driver policy and control panel much better than nvidia's. Its a shame to take note of this when nvidia's cards are pretty good themselves.

I see where you are coming from and yes it does suck to have to do that each time, but I don't think one should hate the company because of it. Crytek has made a great game, and if they make some questionable patches that wont ruin it for me.

Your anlogy is very odd. Reinstalling a game to buying a new car? That seems a bit much. Don't you think?

Anyway, hopefully you manage to fix the error. I told you I fixed mine by reinstalling. If you have been playing games this long its hard to believe that you haven't fixed the issue yet. Also, if you are that old it's astonishing to see you start hating on a company so immaturely..

I have had a few games do this to me in the past. If it corrupted your install reinstall already and stop whining. It happened to me. Do you see me complaining?

NO, because this fix is really easy, but for some reason it seems like your avoiding it. Back up your saves and get going there is no point in complaining...

I have been playing PC games longer than you and to me if there is a fix its no big deal especially when the support is pretty good. If you noticed the community manager responded with a list of fixes for various problems in the post...

Reinstall the game. It only took me 10min to reinstall and apply the patch, and it worked. Also, Crytek has posted a list of solutions.Calm down and try to rectify the situation...

You do realize that this is in the US only, right? PC gaming is pretty big in some European and Asian countries. This also does not include games sold online, or games that are bundled with hardware. For example, if you purchase some 8800s series video cards from nvidia it comes with Crysis.

Personally, I will no longer have intentions to mod for UT3. Why support a company when it doesn't support you?

And you say that with a nvidia logo? This man is an abomination and an embarrassment to all that Epic used to be. Mark Rein, Cliffy, and the entire company has lost its way. I say let them go, we don't need them...

I am not 100% sure UBI gave Boll the far cry name, but your acting like UBI is some sort of innocent company.

Like I said before they made many crappy ports and milked many franchises.

Many individuals thought Far Cry instincts was worse than the first game. Also, do I need to mention Far Cry Vengeance for the Wii?

Let's not forget UBI is making a far cry 2 as we speak...

Finally, many loyal PC fans of the Ghost Reckon and Rainbow Six series have literally seen these franchises dumbed down to be a lot less tactical to appeal to a wider audience. In addition, the PC port of these once popular PC franchises have been ported very badly to the PC... (read the PC R6 vegas or Lockdown forums if you don't believe me...)

Like I said before you claimed the deal was done a while ago which means Crytek or possibly UBI didn't know of Boll's reputation at the time.

Either way, the movie is most likely going to suck, but that doesn't mean you should hate the company. Crytek has made an excellent game which sold over 1 million copies. Many modders and PC gamers love Crysis. If you hate a game or company just because of a movie that is some flawed thinking right there.

Did people hate the original doom when that crappy movie came out? Or did people hate the entire Resident Evil series when all of those crappy sequals come out? NO they didn't.

Also, google "Ubisoft Hires Boll" you will get quite a few results...

I still believe that you shouldn't hate developers that makes good games because of a bad movie. If that is what you believe you have a lot of good games to hate coming to a theater near you.

Also, you said they gave the rights to BOLL ages ago? That means Crytek did this when they had little money and Boll didn't have such a bad Reputation no?

Crytek gave the rights to UBI basically right after farcry 1, and UBI went on to make all of those crappy ports...

In addition, I also hear that UBI is making a Rainbow Six movie. You want to talk about developers selling out? Look no further than UBIsoft. Shafting loyal PC users and milking the franchise with crappy sequels with little innovation from the previous versions.

The correct spelling of the word is Crisis... But, yeah most video game movies are no matter how good or bad the actual game was.

If anything blame UBIsoft. Crytek sold the rights to them. It was UBIsoft's choice to use Uwe Boll NOT Crytek.

Get your facts straight before you go hatting on a game and company. Also, don't forget companies like Epic, 2k, etc have talked about a Gears of war and Bioshock movie. They sold out as well..

...Your pun is offensive. They will need at least 4k resolution projectors to display Crysis. All other movies fail in terms of quality.

Either way, I still enjoy running the actual game on high settings while people complain that it is too expensive and it can't be done ;)

Okay. However, actually having a hard copy of the game on your hdd allows you to access and modify executable files, and tinker with the game... This "pop-in-and-play" method seems demoralizing to the modding community. All the reason this may not catch on...

Stereo typing isn't the answer, im American and I PC game only, I detest the 360 and PS3... Let's not bash people because of their country.. (you are right about 360's market in other countries though...)

*It all depends on the individual...
(personally I just want to make sure there is fact behind people saying, "omfg ps3" or "xbox360 is teh stoof"...)

» $500 system = BAD
They are over confident. Expect to see people getting the $500 with 40 gigs less of hdd, no WIFI, and no HDMI...

http://www.hdbeat.com/2006/05/08/the-500-playstation-3-is-missing-something/
(how is this irrelevent? Maybe to the pricing, but not to consumers. If consumers don't know, they will get screwed...)

*If you want a system with no High Definition, specifically for single player (despite the fact that you can still plug in via ethernet), with little memory, then go with the $500...

i have a ps2 as well... But, i strayed from consoles soon after i relized

A) you can't upgrade
B) it's hard to mod games... (I already, know you can try something with the hdd....)
C) bad online community (don't talk to me about the xbox 360, you have to pay for the online)

I just hate consoles in general... BUT, if i had to pick one, i would choose the ps3. Sony actually included an expensive blue ray player, and acciording to this article you save money in the long run because the online is free lol... Sony is losing alot of money every console sold... (same with ms and xbox360, but i think Sony is losing more)
