    Crysis Warhead (CCC) v3.00 is here. Download here
    Thanks Rot112 for the updates about it on the other thread and thank you Cuban and others who made this CCC possible.

    What's your experience with it?
    Mine:I used lvl 3 and got a smooth frame rate. Looks as good as high if not very high with same performance as med-high settings. Here is a video of LVL 3.

    Im using level 4+ and so far I have a decent frame rate, though I haven't gotten into any levels with large amounts of explosions. I do have an issue right now though. I only just got the game and haven't played it without CCC, but as it stands right now, I'm on the second level trying to get to the downed pilot, and every gun that I use shoot turkeys. Yes, turkeys, like the little birds the walk around the island. I'll aim at a soldier, press the fire button, and a stream of turkeys fly out of my weapon, leaving the soldier uninjured. I'm too tired to try to fix this today, but hopefully I'll figure it out tomorrow.

    Probably a crack... which you won't need with a legal copy installed, it already plays without the disk.

    LoL...yeah Danja you don't need to use the crack and i read your sig and think you should be running CCC lvl4 instead of 3 in CCC 2.21 for the first Crysis.

    And WHY CANT YOU JUST BUY THE Maximum Edition!!!!!!!!

    Yes for those who have a Gateway FX laptop (or anything equal to or above a 8800m) with an Upgraded CPU i reccomend you use CCC 3.0 LVL4+ which is pretty much the max.



    Here is my CCC setup for those who have my laptop:

    Crysis (original): Using CCC 2.21 LVL4: 30FPS average
    Crysis Warhead: Using CCC 3.0 LVL4+: 35+FPS average

    Have Fun!!!!! :)

    LVL 5 should be fine for you. Your GPU is a lot stronger then rot112's GPU and he can do 4+.

    4+ or 5 should be good for you. Unless you max the resolution then that could effect performance compared to my laptop.

    Terminus you should use

    Crysis (original) : CCC 2.21 LVL5 or 4 at nativer res
    Crysis Warhead: CCC 3.0 LVL4+ at native res

    OK lvl 4+ is the highest perf. config lvl in CCC 3.0. While in CCC 2.21 it was LVL5. So in other words CCC 4+ is CCC 2.21 LVL5.

    As for Kal

    Crysis (original): CCC 2.21 LVL4 at native res
    Crysis Warhead: CCC 3.0 LVL4+



    Terminus: CCC 2.21 for the first crysis is a optimization mod for the first crysis, and it also edited the TOD settings to make the colors and the ambience in the levels more realisitic.

    While CCC 3.0 is on a optimization mod. The CUDATTS team cannot edit the TOD settings in the new Crysis {Warhead} because Crytek has locked the TOD files this time around. Though both mods are amazing and if you have both games like I, i would recommend you install CCC 2.21 and CCC 3.0 to Crysis and Crysis Warhead respectively.

    *phew, i feel like customer support lol...JKING IF you guys have any more questions feel free to post more here.

    this is awesome warhead looks alot better , using 4+ settings, tho getting 20-27 fps , tho that is because im forced to play in dx10, the game crashes almost instantly after a checkpoint on dx9 for me

    What i dont understand is why do consumers and enthusiast have to work so hard to get the game lookin this good, shudnt crytek have done this themselves in the first place considering they developed it?

    Kal are you sure you have the patch 1 and 1.1 installed for Crysis warhead. Try that and get back to us. Because you should be staying above 30FPs with your Graphic card. Besides i don't think it is fair that i get better FPS than you when i have a slower GPU. :p

    Because your graphics card sucks. That might be one reason.

    LOL anothergeek. I don't play Crysis anymore. I play FFXI mainly and some Crysis Wars online.

    The best driver i would say is 185.20 hands down for CryEngine 2 games.
