Crysis Singleplayer Demo Released

A day earlier than expected, the Crysis singleplayer demo is now available. The 1.77 GB download includes one singleplayer level, and also allows you to look at the Sandbox2 editor.

I don't know how is this possible, just hours after the official announcement of the delay, but I'm downloading it right now. :)

I think its 1 of 2 things

-it was uploaded by one of the people the got it exclusively thanks to the pre orders
-some sort of exclusivity deal like how FilePlanet gets stuff before everybody else

by the way thanks and have some +bubbles for helping all of us new Contributors :)

[wil4hire]

[TnS]

Use the the "download without logging in" option. It works for me, but it is limited to 250 KB/s.

[Darkiewonder]

EDIT: IE Crashed on me ;(

You need the CD key...

[Charlie2688]

By the way people remember you need the latest update for your video drivers

since apparently like Timeshift DEMO the game wont let you play it unless you update

here are the NVIDIA ones

Downloaded this demo from a torrent site.
Its awesome. It makes you stop several times just to look at things. The amount of detail is crazy. like when you shoot at a barrel with oil it slowly drains unitl it has reached the level of the hole, then stops. Shoot a lower hole and ittl start flowing from that. Noting big but i find its those little things that separate something new from the same old shooter.

Also quite alot of gameplay for a demo. About 30 mins depending on how you play.
Worked fine on high 1280x1024 for me with 2x aa (e6600, 4gb ram, 8800gtx, win xp)

[Korosuke]

As for Crysis, though only quality of the graphic is apt to attract attention, but gameplay in itself is sooo awesome. This demo proves it. Must Play.

thx TnS for the link.

[jackdoe]

Oh man. Can't run this bad boy. Sigh.

[ShiftyLookingCow]

Even with my mostly crap except 8800GTX compy I can run on everything DX10 Very High and 720p at 18-24fps(at least according to GPU benchmark). It looks awesome.

edit: just played through the demo, great experience overall

[Twilightx7]

I've been able to run the Sandbox 2 editor on my machine just fine (Windows XP,) but after installing the demo on two other machines, one running Vista Business and the other Vista Ultimate, the demo itself runs fine, but when trying to install the Sandbox Editor, it tells me that I don't have sufficient administrator privileges, despite being logged in as an administrator. Anybody else have this problem?

[ShiftyLookingCow]

even though you are an administrator, Vista by default doesnt give those privileges when running an app, right click and select "Run as administrator". Hopefully that fixes it(it seems to work fine for me, Vista Business 32bit)

[Twilightx7]

Tried that trick, with the Business 32 bit version, but no such option pops up on the executable (CryEngine(R)2Sandbox(TM)2.exe ) when I right click it. Is there somewhere else that I can run programs from, similar to the "run" command in XP? Or am I still doing something wrong?

[ShiftyLookingCow]

oh sorry I forgot to see it was the installer you got problems with

here is a quick fix from google:
make a new text file with the below line

msiexec /i "E:\Games\Crysis SP Demo\Sandbox2 Installer\CryEngine(R)2 Sandbox(TM)2.msi"

(of course change "E:\Games\Crysis SP Demo" to wherever you installed it)

change to the extension to "bat" instead of "txt" then right click it and choose Run as admin.

Just played the demo.

Not bad.
