    Everything installs fine, but when I go to start the game, nothing happens. HDD accesses for a few seconds, but immediately stops. Crysis 2 is not running in the background...It just stops.

    Anyone playing crysis 2 retail on thier G73JH with no problems?

    Thanks

    well...first tell me if you have an updated BIOS and VBIOS and also update your graphic drivers too latest if you haven't yet and see how that goes....we need a little more info to figure out the problem

    Got it going...

    Anyone who is having this problem there is a simple fix.

    Copy and replace the crysis.exe file from the DVD to the bin32 folder on your HDD.

    Not too sure why this worked, But it did.

    I am running a newer version of the BIOS (cant remember which one) and the stock VBIOS. Video drivers are 11.2 from the ATI website.

    Will I gain any performance from updating the Video BIOS?

    Everything is working great, and really don't know what the benefits are of updating the VBIOS.

    Cant wait for EA to release a patch for DX11 64 bit on this game.

    I have the download version from EA. I have no trouble starting/playing this game. Accessing multiplayer is a different story.
