I think most people are going to be able to run it, I also think that the 'grey avatar' phenomenon will disappear - this is just a bug, or a flaw in the Gamebryo engine.

I have a dual core SLI machine..GeForce 7600 GT card, 3 gigs of ram, and a 160 gig hard drive. Machine is about 2 years old come May next month.
O/T but you've got somthing fundementally wrong with your computer there. i run full detail/2xAA on a AMD 3200, single 6800 and 2GB with no remarkable problems* and many have lower specs than that.

*ie i have rubber banding when everyone else is having trouble too.

I am positive I won't have to upgrade..but there is no way I am willing to install Vista on my machine...not yet..waiting on that one.

Yeah. I'm running on a measly Radeon 9600Pro, Pentium 4 2.6ghz, 2GB RAM.

And I can also run Entropia on max detail with 2xAA. No problem.


It is definitely a problem with your computer if you have to reboot so much.

Have you tried doing a clean install of Windows and seeing if the game still gives you trouble?

Are you running Service pack 1? or SP2?

CE2 will be a hard update , MA staff is currently testing this engine with around 20-30 avatars , on a EU version that is running on different servers (test servers). The update will take that long because they have to :
1. strip the servers down (remove the old version)
2. upgrade some of the servers/replace them
3. install the main software for the game to run (the shiny thing that makes everything in the game connect to each other)... That will include only ava to ava basic interaction (see each other, kill each other, maybe trade/chat) Advance functions like auction/market value IMO will be available in 1-2 weeks after the update is made , or possibly right after the update if the same auction/market value software is used...
4. configure connectivity to new servers (how u can connect to the game using your account)
5. add the new version to an upload server, from with all participants will be able to download the new version of the game

and
6. The real testing begins . . . MA staff + Crytec Staff will battle for the following weeks/months after the VU to make the game playable (that means that you must be able to play EU , While HAVING Crysis Graphics ! ! ! (I just can't even imagine how that will be, and I am not the only one)
A lot of mini updates , server maintenances etc following in the next 2-3 months after the major update ...

PS: I will open a request thread to MA to create a special torrent site from with all will download/upload the new VU, so it will move faster !

it's really too bad you think he's wrong...

Having a positive attitude might help you one day


p.s. I guess no one read my earlier post...

Found a problem in your plan!

But seriously though, for those that think they won't be able to run the new version, as long as you have a semi-decent graphics card (ATI Radeon 9600 and up), you should be able to play the game, albeit on low graphics settings
