Well i installed the game and extracted it to my c/: drive but when i open the game it pops up in the top left corner of my desktop. It starts as it's suppose to just fine but in the corner of my screen. Also if I manage to open it normal it looks like shit and my cursor shows but it's actions are 2-3 inches above it and to the left.

I'm using the driver 163.69 right now but was experiencing nearly the same thing with the 169.01 drivers. I used driver cleaner pro between each one and still the same crap.

Orthos stable, memtest stable, and artifact free if that makes any difference (doubt it).

Timeshift demo and Cod4 all run smooth as butter. WTF? Help!

Edit:

P.S. This is my 2nd install of crysis from 2 different download sources. Same shit.
 
Try deleting your Crysis profile in My Documents, then re-run.
 
I never even got past the main menu due to these issues so i don't have one yet. Is that what you were referring to?
 
Well i made it into the menu and had it set to 1680x1050 and full screen but the mouse cursor is still way off. It's like my mouse cursor is mirrored by an invisible one 3inches up the screen and only that one works. Seriously retarded stuff going on here.

Edit: It did this in stalker and bioshock but once i set my resolution it would be fixed, mostly. (Bioshock still does it occasionally).

I've never even heard of these issues.

Click to expand...

They still auto-generate a profile on launch usually.. how do you not make it to the main menu though? It's just a mouse offset, not a crash right?
 
I was able to install and get into the game fine. My problem is that during the loading screen my audio will cut out at 89%. The game will freeze and I can hear the audio cut out abruptly.
It'll unfreeze but I won't have audio after that.
 
Well theres two things that have been going on.

1. Game starts in top left window. Desktop visible behind it. Can't even see the settings or any other tab.

2. Game starts alright but has a 3 inch mouse offset. Can't even exit the game it's so bad. :mad: It's doing almost exactly what bioshock did to me. Source games, WIC, Cod4, Timeshift, and Painkiller all work fine.

Edit: Even tried new chipset drivers, nothing.
 
Try the Editor? It's awesome. Install Sandbox2 Editor (C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis SP Demo\Sandbox2 Installer) and lauch it from C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis SP Demo\Bin32\Editor.exe

Now open Island.cry, or the mp map Shore.cry. Put tanks, vehicles, weapons, AI, buildings, whatever you want, then press Ctrl + G or F12 to play it! pretty fun.

Get the TAC Gun, it Launches a huge ass Nuke grenade, the explosion is massively intense!!!!!
 
Editor BARELY functions. :mad: I swear that i haven't open the game and have it look the same way twice. It's either widescreen all the way to the top with a black bar at the bottom or opens in the top left as a square with the rest black and others. Not to mention an insane offset on my mouse. Something is very wrong with it.
 
Looking at your system and taking into account the fact that you've had similar issues in completely unrelated games, I see some possibilities. Your OC could be too high on either your CPU or GPU or both for these newer, more demanding titles. Your XCLio is pretty lightweight for the load you're putting on it, especially OC'ed heavily. It could be showing its age if you've had it awhile. XClios used to get a lot of props in the forums as a budget option for high-end use, but [H] testing (maybe jonnyGURU too, I don't remember for sure) suggests that the internal components and build quality may not hold up well, especially loaded close to capacity.

I would try backing off your OC's and unplugging a few unnecessary components and seeing what happens.
 
can you run in windowed mode? hit alt-enter if you cant do it from the menu. switching between them might help. i have a different problem where the game freezes at the EA logo on fullscreen, but runs fine windowed :confused:
