Crysis Remastered achieved only 38 FPS on Very High settings (RTX 2080 Ti)

I'm trying to figure out how this is supposed to be helping them sell the game. I mean, it's one thing if the "Can it Run Crysis?" setting was causing even an RTX 2080 Ti to struggle, but at Very High settings at 1080P?! The settings for Ray Tracing must be set at "Insane" or something. "Can It Run Crysis" was supposed to be a meme, NOT another attempt to make the remaster of the original AS unoptimized as the original was.

Epic exclusive, poor performance etc. Somehow, I'm not surprised they either have no faith in their product or don't care about whether it sells or not because they already sold out to Epic. It only brings more credence to the fact that this is a remaster of the Xbox 360/PS3 port as opposed to the original PC version. https://www.altchar.com/game-news/crysis-remastereds-very-high-settings-put-rtx-2080-ti-to-its-knees-az8lC1T2nBr0

Additionally it crashes if I set the directional controls to arrows* (left handed people left out again).

The game also doesn't recognize right shift or right ctrl although they are set, applied and displayed in the settings.

When I resetted the controls to defaults no inputs were working at all.

So I deleted the profile ... no inputs working at all when resuming the game.

There a horrible shadow popups that ruin the immersion (has nothing to do with RTX. Look straight at mountains and all trees are shadowed, move your head one or two degrees ... all shadows disappear).

The new color palette doesn't work well in darker areas.

And the suit is only usable in modern mode. In classic (where it defaulted to max armor) you now have the armor overlay on when using that.

When starting to play on "can it run crysis" during the opening sequence at night it looks the same as the original plus a few raytracing refractions on the water.

All in all a horrible port. Install a few visual mods for the classic and you have saved $30.

*) Vehicle backwards is the one crashing it.

Turn ray-tracing off then? There's an advance options tab for a reason

why do they keep implementing these horrible shadow models that draw themselves in such a bad way? They are neither optimised, nor good looking.

Are you sure it's not due to swapping settings on the fly? The game seems to freak out when you do it mid game. I'm getting all kinds of lighting issues and drastic performance hits even when I turn things back to low until I back out to the menu then load again.

I only played on one setting.

Hmm, weird.
Also, scrap that. I'm still getting really weird issues unless I restart the entire game. This is far from an acceptable release.

[Francisè von Spitroast]

Btw, make sure ray tracing's actually disabled when you turn it off. For me it's quite evidently on when I look at water despite it saying off, so I have to switch it to on then turn it off and then it actually disables and I gain a solid 15FPS.

this port looks like garbage. Just a big mess with new over saturated colors that kill the feel and vibe of the original. Not worth it.

Sounds like they couldn't even fix the same bugs that made the original game crash to desktop. What a disappointment.

can anyone post me the HDR calibration settings screen of Crysis remastered?

I think it looks exceptional. Ultra compressed YouTube vids don't do it any justice.
I installed the original version for contrast and the difference is staggering. Textures are infinitely better, and while it is more colourful, I don't think it's cartoonish or over the top at all. It's just more lush.
But that's just me.

Crysis was never unoptimized. It was future proof.. something that was quite normal on PC before consoles took over.. meaning, PC games often would release with graphical settings that even the most high end hardware available wouldn't be able to handle.. so the game was still interesting years later when newer hardware coming out after the game would finally be able to run that game at it's max.

You can say the same about Quake 2 RTX.. and now Crysis Remastered. You're not supposed to run at maximum.. but just adjust to whatever your hardware can handle.

Could be a cpu bottleneck.
Lemme share here from DSO.

Get over yourself bud. Trying to run it at 60 FPS while on 4K resolution + Very High settings is literally impossible with this beat up old game engine. You're okay on medium or high at 1920x1080 but asking for anything else is pushing your luck.

You don't have a NASA computer, stop trying and failing to flex.

I played Crysis Remastered now for 3 hours on a GTX 1080 TI in 1080p resolution and high configuration and what a beautiful game! I also turned on RT in the performance setting and it got even better for my surprise! All the time above 80 fps. Very good not having to edit here or there to work on the W10 and it will work ..... Just configure everything in the game menu normally and be happy. What a game!
