Dont be shy, take a new tour in Crysis with my TOD pack... it looks fabolous and realistic.
Ps.. the clouds look a bit stronger lighted than it is ingame.

Woah... man those look amazing! Don't know how I missed this Neb but now I'm going to have to reinstall Crysis and give it another go! :smile:
Hey Nebula...I installed Crysis right now...am patching it actually. So I tried to get your configs I think from that crymod link posted above...but dude after reading the readme its like a shit ton of work lol. Is there no way around doing all that sandbox editor and this and that? Like just some drop-in files? I am not in no way trying to demean your work on the other hand I really appreciate it...I am just being super ultra lazy lol. It doesnt help when I try and game after a 12 hour work day 
lose a lot of patience and all that mucking around with configs.
lose a lot of patience and all that mucking around with configs.I havent made an installer. I will look into it. However the editor stuff will go fast as it is just loading of map + top 20sec for the rest for each map.
I could make a graphics illustration of the procedure for ease as the readme text wall is well...
For config just chose one based on your perfomance.

Cheers Nebula! yeah that wall of text was a bit too much for a noob like me. But basically I can use the config portion and change that and play without TOD changes right?
So far all I have done is drop your ultra high config under the Crysis folder and fired up the game. That should leave the TODs intact and just make the game really pretty yeah? It runs like butter complete with motion blur. I guess I am running in DX 10 mode then if I am seeing motion blur isnt it? And I am running at 1920 x 1200. I am curious but I am going to try 2560 x 1600 and watch my machine implode.

Here is the visual guide. I hope it helps and just ricne and repeat for all levels which should take about 5-8min at most. It's IMO well worth it.
Also ingame if you need you can adjsut gamma/brightness/contrast with:
r_Gamma (default game 0.5)
r_Contrast (default game 0.5)
r_Brightness (default game 1.0)
You can mimick windows desktop settings by just halfing contrast and brightness settings. For example I have ATI CCC color set to -5 (0.475 for Crysis ingame cvar) brightness, contrast at 110 (0.55 for Crysis ingame cvar) and gamma set to 0.8 which is same for Crysis gamma cvar.
Regarding the config with Crysis stock TODs then I recommend to remove these cvar in the config you chosen to use (just open the autoexec.cfg with notepad):
r_HDRLevel=0.65
r_HDRBrightOffset=32
r_HDRBrightThreshold=6
r_SSAO_darkening=0.250
r_SSAO_amount=1
As they where made for my TODs however maybe they look good with Crysis stock TODs.. dunno never tested it! ^^

Appreciate the hard work for those screenshots. I will give it a shot (pun intended
) after I get done working. And I have been running the game with the ultra high config and not touched any of the settings but the game does look great. of course it is still aliasing quite a bit in some areas but other than that it is quite gorgeous and that config is quite hard on the setup some times. I wonder if the frame rate will smooth out if I do a hard drive defrag. I have noticed more often than not that simple fix to work wonders on stuttering in games.you could use defraggler saves you having to do the whole drive

I've started playing Crysis and I installed the CCC 2.21 and I'm running level 5, 1080p 8x AA and AF. The performance is much better than standard very high, which I tried first. On very high I noticed that some objects on the ground pop up right in front you, but on CCC level 5 those objects are gone altogether...
Other than that the guality seems fine, but I'm wondering where the extra performance is coming from?

Probably from increased terrain culling range, distant cascade map update rate etc.
While true I bet its going to be pretty close if you used some of those CCC configs. I mean if I machine can play it without any problems on level5 or whatever of those configs @ 1920 x 1200 surely that machine will not have a problem!
The more I play Crysis the uglier it gets
Actually I think Warhead is a LOT better looking than Crysis is.
I'm just starting to see it's faults now, I've played it that much!!
Take away the gorgeous lighting and the game isn't anything special. Even with Rygels texture pack the game still has some down right crappy textures in places.
But the biggest problem is the IQ!!! Since I've got my 4890 I play games with AA and AF cranked up to the max!! And when I go back to Crysis with it's jaggie transparent textures and horrible jaggie shadows with bad LOD it just makes me go 'meh'
Going from 8xAA and 16AF to 4xAA and no AF ( God damn POM in Crysis ) is a real eye sore
I just disable POM and use AF instead worth the IQ tradeoff despite worse framerate with 16xAF. Also in DX10 lack of TSAA doesn't really bother me becouse as I have on my TODs the slight distant DOF smothes vegetation edges a bit and enough. But everytime I return to either Crysis games or Crysis wars I get blown away. Funnily I always remember it looking worse than it really is.. and then no other game looks good anymore.
