Crysis Sound stuttering

[PhOeNiX]

Now , i just installed crysis on my system , and wishing i would be able to run the hogger on medium high settings, but to my surprise , my 3500+ , and 1 Gig DDR1 system , along with the help of the MSI 8800GT OC , was able to take it down , on everything Very High , including 8X AA , on DX10 - Vista Ultimate. the game does take a bit to load , but its fine for runnin the game at max settings (i hope)

Now the only problem i face is the nastiest sound stuttering ever. And the sound stuttering is not only in-game , but even during the EA and Crytek-Maximum Game and nVidia-TWIMTBP logo. So that wud nearly rule out ne grafical lags. But i still tried lowerin the settings a tad , and even full down, but the sound stutters are still there, introducing gameplay lags. Now i found out that there are some codes i have to punch in the console to make the problem go away , and ill be tryin em tomoro as my folks are shoutin at moi, is there some way to enter the codes in some *.ini file so i don't have to enter em in everytime i start the game ? Also , any other workarounds ??

btw , the codes are these

Open console and type in con_restricted 0

Type in s_soundenable 0 to disable sound completely.

Type in s_soundenable 1 to enable sound again.

i think its a official CryTek workaround.

ur running on what resolution?

 

[thebanik]

man, thats an amazing setting u r able to run on, but tell us the resolution coz on 1440x900 Very High, 4x AA, it uses around 1500MB of ram, so you must be set to 800x600 or 1024x800???

Woah I'm pretty impressed... Damn I didn've Vista Ux64 wen I ran Crysis on my rig...

 

[PhOeNiX]

1024x768..but still , the settings seem impressive he ? plus i have maxed everything in the nVidia Control Panel too.........16X QFSAA or sumthin like dat ..........so nething abt the stuttering ?

 

[PhOeNiX]

Ok , now i have tried everything.........changing everything to the lowest possible setting, using the above codes in the console........even tried getting drivers for my SoundMAX HD Onboard Audio........no use......the only thing that seemed to work a bit was going down to 800x600, adn not playin full screen.this reduced the stuttering a bit , at least no stutters in the menu and intro vids , plus the quality is the maximum.......but still , stutters are there , which tend to lag the game.......any help wud be appreciated

What fps are you getting?Maybe I can hold of my CPU upgrade a little longer.

 

[PhOeNiX]

Getting around a avg of 15-16 fps, but drops down as soon as some sound plays......fights are bad coz of the music, as well as when ur partners talk......

 

[stalker]

wat de? 15-16 fps.. nd its playable??????

 

[Homer]

I think you should play it on XP with the hacked config files.DX10 quality and 20+ fps.

 

[greenhorn]

you have to choose between Dx10 or EAX when you're running crysis!

 

[PhOeNiX]

hmm.EAX ?? any way to turn it off ? coz i dont have EAX on my audio......btw , 15 fps is highly playable on crysis.its only bad wen it goes below 10.........

 

[greenhorn]

what i meant was that for EAX, you need XP, as its not supported in vista

and for dx10, you need vista ..

 

[PhOeNiX]

ohhhh.......i removed crysis now, will play when i get a better rig....now turned towards GeOW, everything maxed out, absolutely smooth , fast loading, and the games brilliant....
