Crysis Extreme Quality [1.34] TOD modification in the works.
Extreme-Quality
These configs will bring you past very high with smoother & consistent framerates.
Minimum spec is a 8800GT/GTX or equivalent, and a decent dual core processor.
Thanks:
Special thanks to Koroush Ghazi over at tweakguides & to MADBoris for his guide on the commands,
and to all the the forum members who tested to help me improve these configs...
Tweaks:
If you have trouble running the extreme version try these tweaks.
- "r_WaterReflectionsMinVisiblePixelsUpdate=3" change to 0.05
- "e_recursion_view_dist_ratio=0.15" change to 0.1
- "e_view_dist_ratio=80" lower to 60-50
- "e_shadows_cast_view_dist_ratio=0.8" change this to 0.5
Changelog:
Version 1.0.1:
- Increased fps slightly by lowering shadow lod on terrain.
- Tweaked physics to improve performance.
- Increased view distance slightly and water reflections.
- Increased water reflections pixels update distance.
Version 1.0.2:
- Removed uneeded cmds that were already being activated through cvar folder with "sys_spec_Full"
- Changed the cmd depthoffield=1 to 2 for a more natural look.
- Soften & blur shadows for a more realistic look.
- Increased Shadows cast view distance slightly.
- Change HDR brightoffset to default.
- Increased sprite distant ratio.
Version 1.3:
- Fixed performance drop with beams, (i.e.) flashlights, and headlights
- Improved performance on lite version.
- Improved reflections on both version.
- Lite version can be used online now.
- Added new cvars & updated readme's.
Version 1.31:
- Fixed stuttering & increased performance.
- Added more cmds for users to customize.
Features:
- Increased lod distances on terrain, vegetation, sprites & shadows.
- Increased water reflections distance and quality & tweaked the update
distances.
- Added "sys_spec_Full" to force all other cmds not in the config to
very high.
- Increase battle dust range in meters.
- Optimize particles & physics.
- Tweaked shadows & ssao varibles for best visual lighting.
- Solved many artifacts with lod & shadows with vanilla settings.
(ie; screen flickering, terrain, water, and shadows updating)
- Better water reflections, waves, & update distances.
- Better detailed mountains and surface terrain.
- Better shadows & post processing effects.
- Better view distances.
- Better bump maps.
- Better HDR effects.
Installation for Windows Vista:
- Extract .rar file with winrar/winzip.
- Place the "autoexec.cfg" file into your; "\Program Files\Electronic
Arts/Crytek/Crysis/Game" folder.
- When inside game hit tilde(~)key, if you see my art it loaded
successfully.
Installation for Windows XP:
- Extract .rar file with winrar/winzip.
- Place the CVarGroups folder into your: \Program Files
\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Game\Config folder" *Remove the
old one and back it up if you like, thers one on the crysis dvd.
- Place the "autoexec.cfg" file into your; "\Program Files\Electronic
Arts/Crytek/Crysis/Game" folder.
- When inside game hit tilde(~)key, if you see my art it loaded
successfully.
Note:
In certain situations Crysis may startup in window mode,if this happens try to enable
fullscreen mode in graphic options, or by hitting Alt+Enter.
Note:
Before playing online with the extreme version you will need to change the
cmd "e_detail_materials_view_dist_xy=4096" to 2048 to avoid a punkbuster kick.

RE: Crysis Extreme Quality
Its pretty demanding, I average 30-35 fps with the vista config. You can lower the shadow resolution for more fps and enable "e_shadows_from_terrain_in_all_lods=0" to 1 for like 3-4 fps.

RE: Crysis Extreme Quality
I already commented the download link but nice work. No i can get screenshots that look almost as good as yours. I would compare this to HP's very high config. So i recommend everyone to give it a go it might work better on your system. Cheers

Kettels are you having trouble running the config? If so lower the shadow resolution and enable the cmd "e_shadows_from_terrain_in_all_lods=0" to 1. That command alone will give you 3-4 extra fps.

Not belittling work and hours put into this... but why is this a "mod"? Shouldn't there be a tweak section and a modification section? As no part of the actual game has been altered or changed, I just don't see this and a few other graphic configs as "mods".

I agree its not a mod like what most people would think, but it does alter the detail immensily in the game from default vanilla. Therfore its like a modification, something anyone could do on this forum. I would have put it in a diff section, but this seems to be the place where other "modified" configs reside.

is those screenies taken with the DEFAULT TOD in the levels?
I wonder that, since I have the NaturalMod installed on my system, so I was wondering if someone have tested it WITH the NaturalMod?
btw, it looks really good actually

how did you remove the artifacts ?
In vanilla there are kind of black bars on the ground you can see them on very bright surfaces.

The command "r_TerrainAO_FadeDist=3" default is 7-8, this commands changes the shadows in dark areas. if set to low it will show dark unrealalistic borders from the shade in the terrain. The other artifacts were from ssao values and update distances on terrain. I would recommend not lowering the terrain lods, it will cause pop ups in distance areas.
