Apparently tessellation isn't available in multiplayer.

Also, take a look at this guy's texture mod:

still should have been in the game to begin with, now this patch release wont make the 360 fanboys cry as much as if the game looked better when it came out.
actually while we are discussing crysis 2, did they fix the flickering lighting on ATi cards?

Yeah that Crossfire issue was resolved some time ago, they were also having problems with Crossfire scaling in general, it's not perfect but it's as good as it's going to get unless they rework the engine as the engine doesn't support alternate frame rendering.

/me cries for dx11

I can't install it because I need to be on patch 1.9 yet the game should auto update when I launch but it doesn't...anyone else have this problem (retail)?

edit: Launched the game a few more times and it finally decided that there was an update, never mind!

quite a performance hit, even on a 6990.

I was trying to remember why I stopped playing it. Ha ha!

Can't make this abortion of a sequel worth playing.

On my 6990 + 6970 setup @ 2560x1440 everything maxed my performance takes quite a hit, some sections my fps must drop to 10, but most the time it seems to be above 60 fps.

Though this hit seems strange, is AA on by default on ultra settings? I want to turn it off, as the appearance difference isn't worth the huge frame hit at my resolution..

Is there an easy way to show fps in Crysis 2?

assuming crysis 2 is like crysis 1s console you can type "r_displayinfo 1" without the quotes and i think you need to type in "con_restricted 0" for that to work.
