Before doing any postings in the forums please be sure to read the F.A.Q. It is getting updated frequently.

What DirectX versions do you support for the Beta?
We support DirectX9 only.

I don't know what do when I am ingame.
Please try to watch the tutorial video which can be found in the Multiplayer menu ingame. Additionally there is an ingame voice and text tutorial that guides you through the rules.

I want to have my frames showing up ingame.
Go to your root folder of your Crysis MP Beta installation. Open up the system.cfg with an editor program and type in following command: r_displayinfo 1

Save the file and start your game. You now should have the FPS displayed on your screen.

I receive invalid CD-Key message when trying to join a server.
CD-Key Issue? Click here!.

Or try to create a new ingame user account.

I can not connect to Gamespay ingame, even though the firewall ports are opened or I am not behind a firewall.
Try deleting your Crysis profile folder which can be found at following location:

C:\Documents and Settings\*yourusername*\My Documents\My Games\Crysis_MP_DEMO

I am behind a firewall and cannot connect to Gamespy or Comrade.
Please be sure to have following ports opened:
27900 (Master Server UDP Heartbeat)
28900 (Master Server List Request)
29900 (GP Connection Manager)
29901 (GP Search Manager)
13139 (Custom UDP Pings)
6515 (Dplay UDP)
6500 (Query Port)

How to activate the game after successfull installing it?
After you installed the game it asks for an activation key. This key is your CD-Key you have received after signing up for the Beta. Just enter it and you are good to go!

The performance my Vista 32-bit/64-bit operating system is quite bad.
We are still working on the compatibility with Vista. Some users encountered a significant performance boost when you launch Crysis in the DX10 mode. Even though we haven't implemented DX10 for the Beta it might be a good workaround.

In Vista go to your games explorer window, right click on the Crysis shortcut and click on "play in DX10".

I encounter framerate issues with my NVidia graphics card.
NVidia recently released their new Beta drivers which include improved compatibility with Crysis.

I encounter graphic issues with my NVidia 7xxx graphics card.

I have got a Quad Core CPU but only 2 cores are used.
We are still working on the quad core cpu support and thus didn't include it in the Beta.

I experience bad performance on my high-end righ.
First of all please do not forget that this is still a Beta. We aim for bug fixing and performance optimization. We have enabled a few variables that are logging much information and also included an incomplete shader cache.

In the case you encounter bad frames with your machine please try to lower your ingame resolution. Also ensure that you disable AA since it is not fully implemented and thus not working correctly. Also try different graphic settings ingame.

No - this Beta is covered under a NDA you all have accepted when signing up for it. Please respect the restrictions we have set up.

Useful config file tweaks :

Open up the system.cfg in your crysis mp root folder to tweak -

* add "r_displayinfo = 1" to show your FPS in the upper right hand corner of the screen
* add "r_multiGPU = 1" if you want to try to get your SLI / Crossfire setup working (mixed reports on success)

Facts about performance / technology in the beta :

* Vista performance is currently a bit slower than XP performance but this should change in later builds.
* DX10 functionality is not available in current beta build. This means limited physics, shaders, etc. A future build may include DX10 functionality.
* AA is not available in current beta build - turning it on does nothing.
* Quadcore support is not available in current beta build but will be in the final game.
* Some graphical features are not available (or officially supported) in current beta state (e.g. sunshafts, ultra high settings)
* The game and its engine CryEngine2 are still in the process of being optimized
* Nvidia is still optimizing their drivers for Windows Vista and Crysis itself (didn't hear a word about ATI doing so right now, so i only mention Nvidia here)

*current beta state of 09/20/07

ProRus это ты о чем? что отложат на 2008 год?
