Hey Guys,Want to run crysis at max settings and have it look and run excellently? I highly recommend checking out the Luxus Silentium Mod.I downloaded it a few days ago on a whim since I went back to Windows XP from vista and missed how gorgeous Crysis looked.I installed this mod (simply drop the autoexec.cfg in your game folder) and went in to play. Simply put the gameplay is more gorgeous and smooth than it was on DX10!The game finally looked like it did in the teaser trailers and I was running 1680x1050 2xAA and everything else preset via the autoexec file, but basically max.The game is gorgeous, I did not even run into lag on the.SPOILER.
boss level on the carrier.END SPOILER.Simply put you have to try this mod. I cant stop raving about it to my friends. Check the link above for images from it.Download it, its 100kb max, try it out, you have nothing to lose!
Yeah some of the configs make the game look insanely good, like how it looked in old trailers.Luxus Silentium seems to be a config to boost visuals and have better performance. It is probably good for mid to mid-high range systems.The Ultra High Quality config by HP is more than just the hacked Very High DX9 config. It is for high-end systems only as it is for all-out awesome visuals. Is a link.There is also CCC, something's Crysis Configs. I forgot where that fit into the spectrum.Since I have a pretty weak system, I plan to use Luxus Silentium to hopefully boost FPS a little bit, or actually my FPS is fine already, I would just like some better visuals without dropping FPS too much (putting Shaders to Medium on a shader-weak card like my 7800GT kills it).
I got the Ultra High Quality config just to witness for myself how it looks, even though it will only run at like 10 fps, I just want to see it.

I got the Ultra High Quality config just to witness for myself how it looks, even though it will only run at like 10 fps, I just want to see it. I tried a bunch of different autoexec.cfg, taking three screenshots with each config at approximately the same area. Results:I can't tell ANY difference between Luxus Silentium, Luxus Silentium 2, Luxus Silentium Lite 2, and no autoexec.cfg.
My no autoexec/default config (before I tried any of these is)1280x800, no AA/AF, no Vsync, Object/Shadow/Physics/Game Effects/Post Processing/Sound on Medium, everything else on Low, Motion Blur off.Between all four of those, three screenshots each, I can't tell a single difference! Which sucks because I want a little better IQ.As far as performance, LS seemed to perform a little better than without it. I didn't run the benchmark but my screenshots show LS performing better most of the time. LS2 seemed to be the fastest for me (tad faster than LS2 Lite and LS) but very unscientific so they could all be the same really.So in all that time, I didn't accomplish anything.
It still looks like crap but plays OK. Luxus Silentium didn't seem to do a thing.I tried Cuban's Custom Crysis Configs. He has 5 configs, level 1-5, depending on your computer. Well I tried 3, it ran like poo (10-15 fps), but it was very good IQ. I then tried level 1, the lowest quality, and it ran 15-20 fps. It retained most of the excellent look of level 3, except the view distance was VERY awful, and it was too slow anyway.What I want is some of the features of CCC configs with speed of LS.

Mostly, the vegetation looks far better in CCC than in LS (which looks the same as default).edit: For the hell of it, I tried the HP Ultra High Quality config. It slowed the whole thing down.
I could barely type in the console. It said it was 4-5 fps and it was just awful. And it looked weird. Way way too dark, the contrast seemed bad. So nothing looked any good. CCC at level 3 ran 3x as fast and looked pretty damn good.So I'd recommend checking out Cuban's Custom Crysis configs if you guys have a good system and are looking for good IQ with decent performance.
Yeah I think that's what I'll do. I spent about 2 hours last night trying configs and reading about parameters to tweak, but in the end, I think my 7800GT is just too weak in the shader area, so no matter what, it's not gonna be able to look much better than with no tweaks if I can't raise Shader Quality to Medium.A lot of the tweaks and configs that people do, they have no clue what they really do. People where asking what this or that command doesrusePOM=1so he says 'that command enables POM'Oh really, wow what an expert!There's only a few people who seem to really know what they are doing and have documented all the variables well and know how they affect things. Most just put random numbers in and make it look like crap.Since Luxus Silentium didn't do anything for me, I'll just use my own Low and Medium settings, plus maybe 5-10 tweaks of my own that I know what they'll do. I don't think there's anyway I can use Medium Shaders unless I ran 800x600. I'm beginning to think it is impossible to run this game properly. I see you have a 22' monitor - so do I, and even though my machine kicks yours' arse, I still can't play at native res with detail turned up enough so the rocks don't appear out of nowhere.Quad cores each at 3.4Ghz, 4GB DDR2 @ 950Mhz, 8800GT.Its so slow that I suspect getting another 8800GT, SLIing them, and overclocking them (giving me pretty much the most powerful consumer system possible at this time) wouldn't make much difference.for comparison COD4 screams along at 100FPS native res/highest detail/full AA.
IQ with this mod definitely drops a notch from what I was playing with previously, most noticeably a decrease in texture quality. It did help FPS though, but I'm not totally sure it was strictly because of the mod. I also dropped in the command line I picked up in one of those crymod forum posts to pre-cache all level textures.One thing I think this mod does to help FPS and overall performance is setting a hard limit on viewing distance. Crysis gets.really. jerky once you get out of the caves and are running around the sphere. I think a lot of this has to do with dynamic objects and the CPU/GPU having to account for and adjust in real-time to each asset.
For instance, the space ship moves and as a result, the CPU and GPU need to calculate the physics, shaders and lighting for each dynamic object all at once.Awesome game though, can't wait to be able to run it at higher settings in all its glory in 2 years. AdiusOmega:This is a very good config, some people might not like how bright it is, but I think it looks alot like the older Crysis footage. My framerate went up a little.Also if you add this in your autoexec.cfg file:eprecachelevel 1(I think, not sure if that's the exact command, I'm on a school computer)It precaches all the level resources to improve framerate, but at the loss of a longer load time for the levels (Well worth it)Anyways, thanks for this awesome config, it is surely the best one I have seen.
I'm definatly keeping this one on.
This is a followup to my post about the. 'Fixing' some in-game settings can make or break your experience with this game.
I recommend looking over these fixes and applying those that you desire before even starting the campaign.Note that increasing the FOV too much can cause minor graphical anomalies in the game, such as seeing the missing sides of your arms during some in-game scripted motions, or being able to see through surfaces when up against them and looking at the right angle. I have found that these minor glitches are a small price to pay for the higher FOV.Just like Crysis 1, Crysis 2 supports an autoexec.cfg file. This file, which doesn't exist by default, should be created in your Crysis 2 root folder. Any commands in this file will be automatically executed when the game starts.
Here is an example autoexec.cfg file that makes some popular modifications:gskipIntro=1clfov=75plmovement.powersprinttargetFov=75imouseaccel=0imousesmooth=0clzoomToggle=1clcrouchtoggle=1rmotionblur=0rPostMSAA=0rUseEdgeAA=0gskipIntro=1This stops most of the start-up movies from playing, including the Cryengine 3 and Nvidia movies.clfov, plmovement.powersprinttargetFovThese should match each other, and are your field of view settings. You may want to try 80 or 85 and see what you like best. The default is 60 I believe, and feels too confined.imouseaccel=0, imousesmooth=0These affect your aiming and I prefer to have them both off. If you want to try it with them on, remove the two lines from the file.clzoomToggle=1, clcrouchtoggle=1These are just preferences of mine. The default game settings are crouch toggle, hold to zoom.
Changing the values to 0 would make it so you have to hold the button to remain zoomed or crouched.rmotionblur=0This is motion blur and I find it much easier to aim without it on.rUseEdgeAA=0, rPostMSAA=0These control anti-aliasing and edge anti-aliasing/blurring. I prefer to turn them off entirely, but if you want to keep them you can remove those lines.If you don't want to edit the settings like this, you can download the, which generates an autoexec.cfg file for you automatically and gives you even more control over graphics options. I recommend it for those that want to make specific graphics tweaks.
