Crysis black screen crash at end of relic mission

crysis black screen crash at end of relic mission,,,,,,,,,,,,, yes the VTOL lands to pick me up and yes i get in it to find myself in a cut-screen sequence leading to the next level.... but Crysis cashes to a black screen every time..... it had done that on other "transitions" between levels and somehow i was always able to eventually get it to load the next level .. not this time...... end of Relic crash has me stumped.. any ideas?............... AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz...... 4 GB DDR3 RAM......... ATI Radeon HD 5870........


i just read Spac13's post ..... he said

"ok i'll help you out, the game isn't good enough to be stuck on a level you can't finish due to bugs.

this is not a "cheat" as such but it will work for you.

look at the walkthrough and find out what level is next.

open the benchmark tool that is in the game file.

select the level from the benchmark list and run the benchmark

it will load the level from the start and allow you to play the level.....

this is ANOTHER HUGE problem with the game as it will save the game as if you have reached that level. so once it loads just save it and close the game.

re-start crysis.exe on your desktop and load the save game.

and your sweet.

and lets face it, if crytek can't release a game that actually runs the benchmark without saving it as an actual level you have played then why can't we use it to skip the crap they stuffed up.

happy shooting "


....... so .... ok... i got a list of the levels in Crysis..... but now i have no idea how to "open the benchmark tool" in Crysis..........
any ideas?
