    Crashing to desktop
    « on: March 09, 2008, 01:50:20 AM »
    I went out and got Crysis finally and I can only play it for about 15-20 minutes before it crashes to my desktop. When it "crashes", it really just minimizes the window that was fullscreen to a smaller window. I've downloaded and installed the latest patch for Crysis, and I also have all the latest drivers for my hardware. A couple of things I noticed was that when it would minimize, I would have to re-check the "fullscreen" option. And my screensaver actually came on during a game, causing it to minimize. I'm using a X-Box controller rather than the keyboard and mouse if that helps. Thanks.

      Did you try turning off the screen saver?

        Yea, but that the screensaver shouldn't come on in the first place.

        As strong as your setup is i've heard Crysis will even struggle on a system such as yours...
