I'm having trouble running Crysis on my new PC build:
Asrock P67 Extreme4 MOBO
i7 2600k (stock speed)
Windows 7 Pro OEM
MSI GTX 570 (factory OC)
The first time I tried to play the game it crashed as gameplay began, as in after the first cut scene. The Screen went black but some audio continued. I re-started the game and was able to play past the first checkpoint. This time the game froze with the graphics freezing, and a pattern of white blocks overlaying the image. Again, audio continued. I was playing at high settings (as automatically set by the game) with 4x anti-alias.
I tried:
-running in Vista service pack 2 compatibility (black screen crashes again)
-running in XP service pack 3 compatibility (didn't load at all)
-running in DirectX 9 (stopped test at options screen because it was running full screen, but 4:3)
I have not yet tried a full re-install. I used patch 1.2.1 My PC is a fresh build, so all new drivers off the bat.
One thing that also was happening was that I was getting impatient to get to gameplay when I tried a new setting, and it often crashed (black screen) when I tried to skip the last cut scene before gameplay.
I have not tried any other game, so tomorrow I will try to load Modern Warfare and see how that goes. I figured I'd at least get this question up on the forums tonight and let it percolate. I have never had a PC that was capable of gaming before, so I've never run Crysis at all. I've seen a lot of threads with people that had very similar problems to mine, which is where I got the ideas to try some of the techniques above.
