    Been playing through the Crysis series and was looking forward to playing Crysis 2, but had my fun dashed by the fact that it keeps crashing. It's pretty random too. No oevrheating or anything. Can be at any point through a mission and it crashes. Apparently it could be because I have ATI overdrive enabled. Wanted to try disable it but there's no such feature in CCC :/

    Anyone know what else I can do?

    We need more information. What are your notebook's specs? What driver are you on?

    I used to experience constant crashing in Crysis 2 back when I had a 7970m. It was a driver issue that would happen when running in full screen, so the only way to stop the crashing was to play in windowed mode. Check your even viewer after a crash and see what the faulting module is. If it's atidxx32.dll, then it's the same crashing I used to experience. Update your drivers, and run in windowed mode if driver updates don't fix it.
