I had problems originally gettin the demo to run. It came up with an error saying log-in to download manager to verify purchase or something.

You have to activate it at this link. It will save you a lot of faffing around as its not obvious.

No problems but i downloaded 2 demos, one from file planet and one from gamershell....

both were different sizes (the .exe) it may be they were compressed differently...

I had no problems with the gamershell file in any case.

No need to activate these 2 demos from what i can see...

i played crysis few mins ago and wtf i was surprised =) thought its not that good but now i am convinced i will buy full version lol
i played with 1024 x 768 no aa
and all settings at low
still had about 30 fps the whole game... so i need a better graphic-card =) and then i will play with highsettings lol
hope you will try this game too =) really awesome =D

no but i will try it now =)
and how did you get all settings to high with many fps? what card do you use?

ok i tried crysis now and i could play the whole demo till your screen gets black and they are talking to you =) then it just goes to main menu (so i think it was the demo ^^)

For Nvidia GFX card users, download the latest gfx drivers ForceWare 169.01 beta

this covers one or 2 bugs with crysis. This might help you Havok.

I'm using Catalyst 7.9 atm and i run crysis ok.... latest is 7.10.... (i'll get now too lolz)

From here... http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html

Try updating your gfx drivers and even update DX9c (currently DX9c November)

Yeah, since updating my gfx drivers to 7.10, i get a glitch in 2142 game, an occasional flicker. Its not really that bad but it must be to do with the new driver, i dont think its related to crysis.

i get that too. sometimes the screen goes crazy but if i ctrl-alt-del then reenter game then it sorts itself out.
