EA AND SOME DUDE TALKIN ABOUT DX11
BUT I GUESS A PATCH IS COMING



KIETH: Hi, my name is KIETH. How may I help you?
2288639830: Hi I was wondering where I enable DX 11 for crysis 2
KIETH: You want to install direct x 11?
2288639830: no
2288639830: ENABLE
KIETH: In order to best troubleshoot your issue, I would need to take a look at your system information.

To provide me your system information, you would need to run “Directx Diagnostic tool” by following the below given steps: -

• Go to Start Menu
• In the “Search programs and files” box, type “dxdiag” and press enter.
• Click the "Save All Information" button on the first screen of the application.
• Then on top of the "Save As" box that pops up, select Desktop (if it's not set to save there already), then click Save.
• Find the file "DxDiag" on your desktop and double click on it.
• Once you have saved the file, click on the “Attach File” link and send the file to me.
2288639830: doing it now, you're a computer program aren't you
2288639830: i want a real person
KIETH: yes
KIETH: I am a real person
2288639830: well good
2288639830: one minute then
KIETH: But for not taking too much of your precious time
KIETH: I have to paste script
2288639830: understood
File attachment upload has started.
The file DxDiag.txt (27.85KB) was received.
2288639830: then why don't you understand I dont want to install dx11
2288639830: It is installed
KIETH: Thank you for information provided, could you please wait for a moment while, I am looking on your issue ?
KIETH: Let me check it
2288639830: I want to enable it in crysis 2's settings
KIETH: I have checked you have already direct x 11 installed and enabled in your PC
KIETH: You need not to enable it
2288639830: this isn't about dx11
2288639830: it's about crysis 2
KIETH: It will be automatically obtained in the gme
KIETH: Yes the crysis 2
2288639830: then where is the settings to do so
2288639830: it's running dx9
KIETH: The game will automatically obtain it
2288639830: is that the "official" way of saying we're not supporting the dx11 we promised you?
KIETH: You have direct X 11 installed how can it will shoe direct x 9
2288639830: automatically obtain is bullcrap
KIETH: show*
2288639830: I can run games in DX9
2288639830: otherwise old games wouldn't work
2288639830: or when I right click crysis one exe I can choose DX9 or DX10
KIETH: ok
2288639830: yes
KIETH: But for crysis 2 you need not to enable it
2288639830: so you're telling me it uses dx11?
KIETH: Is your game not running fine
KIETH: Yes
KIETH: It uses direct X 11
2288639830: then you sir do not know your own product
KIETH: Because it is pre activated in your PC
2288639830: nvidia removed dx11 from a feature of crysis 2
2288639830: do you even play computer games or is this what you've been told to tell all the frustrated crysis 2 owners
KIETH: I am still not getting why you are frustated
KIETH: ?
KIETH: And what you exactly want?
2288639830: it does NOT run DX11
2288639830: I want to know what happened to DX11
KIETH: Ok
KIETH: This is PC Minimum System Requirements

2288639830: how the heck is that supposed to help me?
2288639830: I have dual 580 oc'd and liquid cooled for crying out loud
2288639830: I don't neeed minimum specs
2288639830: I have triple the power of the minimum
2288639830: do you have a manager that will know what I'm asking?
KIETH: I'm forwarding your issue to our senior support they will contact you through email system. Your patience is highly appreciated.
2288639830: no email
2288639830: dang it I'm here on chat
2288639830: they can chat as well
KIETH: They will response you through Email
2288639830: no
2288639830: then find another sap like you free for chat
2288639830: I waited for answers and I'd like to get them
KIETH: Sorry?
2288639830: I'm not concerned with your inadequacies as a tech. I'm concerned with being sold a mis-advertised product and having no way of being refunded or compensated.
2288639830: EA, crytek, and nvidia all bragged to death the DX11 wonder that was crysis 2 and it doesn't exist
EA Support has joined the chat.
EA Support: Hello there, This is Ken. Supervisor on Floor, may I have your first name please?
2288639830: !@#$!@
EA Support: Hello !@#!@#!, how you doing today?
2288639830: Dandy as it is nearly one in the morning here
EA Support: ok, Its really late then. Now how can I help you out. I was going through the chat transcript but well it was confusing. So let me know what you looking for and Let me answer to the point.
2288639830: I want to know why Crysis 2 does not support DX11 as was touted by the marketing campaign.
EA Support: As of now its not and I don't have an tentative date for you when the Patch will be released; so that Crysis 2 will make use of DX11.
2288639830: so why did kieth so adamantly inform me that it was "automatically" enabled?
2288639830: is that line of crap fed to people who don't have a clue how pc's work?
2288639830: How come you can confirm a patch that supports DX11 but crytek and nvidia and ea won't utter a word
EA Support: Please accept my apologies for the wrong information from Kieth.
2288639830: it's a pretty basic concept I don't know how you can use reps that think DX11 just magically appears
EA Support: I'm not in a state to confirm about the patch but there will be an official statement out there soon.
2288639830: It's like saying a GPS can read your mind and knows where you're going without you inputting it.
2288639830: So you can't "confirm" the patch but can you "confirm" the statement that can "confirm" the patch?
EA Support: Yep official statement will be out but again I won't be able to provide any ETA?
2288639830: and will official statement "confirm" dx11 patch?
EA Support: disregard the "?" sign at the end of the sentence.
2288639830: it's ok I realize you're not sure how to word things to dance the dance being forced upon you by the rich running this industry into a money press and destroying what used to be a creative industry
EA Support: I won't be able to comment on that, as many are still on XP boxes. So if the patch is out there MIGHT be an issue with the multiplayer too.
2288639830: XP boxes?
2288639830: windows XP? and by box you mean computer?
EA Support: Xp based Pcs
EA Support: Sorry about that.
2288639830: So why not make identical to crysis 1 where you merely chose what version to run
2288639830: that way xp be unaffected
2288639830: pretty simple considering the millions of dollars of funding that is put a game like this
2288639830: are you saying the patch is ready for launch but it's conflicting with XP based computers?
EA Support: I can understand that, but I have no clue as to what the development team might be thinking about that.
2288639830: then is there a "building" manager that would?
EA Support: I'm not saying that patch is ready coz I don't have any official insider information on that too.
2288639830: then why won't they tell the public, "hey we screwed up but it's coming"
EA Support: !@#@#%@, our PR team will be making an statement soon but not sure when?
2288639830: using my doesn't make it more powerful Ken
2288639830: my name*
EA Support: I was just letting you know. So is there anything else I can do for you today?
2288639830: nothing more than the nothing you have done
EA Support: Thank you for contacting EA support.
KIETH has disconnected.

Homefront PC Patch 1.0.3 Announced
Submitted by THQChris on Fri, 03/25/2011 - 5:31pm
Digital Extremes and KAOS are happy to announce our first major update for the PC version of the game. This patch will update the client to version 1.0.3 and is currently undergoing internal testing and is scheduled for release early next week! The complete list of changes can be found below in the story.

FEATURES

NEW FEATURE – DEMO URL
- A DemoURL can now be specified in the server playlist, this is used to indicate the location of stored demo files to user’s in-game (see the multiplayer options screen). A good practice for server admins would be to share the demo folder via FTP, this would allow users to grab demos of games they starred in, and also (very importantly!) allow users and anti-cheat authorities to download evidence for cheat reporting. Incidentally, it is now possible to dump all users unique steamID's from both in-game, and in-demos to the console or text file (this will make reporting abusive players and enforcing bans incredibly easy).

Improved Squad Based Gameplay
- Players will now re-spawn at a point nearest to the closest member of their squad.
- Squad mates will now be colored blue on the mini-map and full-screen maps.

GAME BALANCE
- RPG's now deal additional damage to HMMWV's
- Lowered m200 and m110 sniper rifle damages. The only 1 shot possible is now headshots.
- Flak jacket now has a lower BP cost, and a slight effectiveness buff.
- Diablo damage adjusted
- Weapon is taken out of ADS and accuracy decreases when jumping.


OPTIMIZATIONS & FIXES
- The Rhino drones weapon attachment was not being properly moved with the Rhino drone on dedicated servers, causing the rockets to fire incorrectly. This is now fixed.
- We have added some animation optimizations for large player games.
- Several UI related improvements were added for large player games .
- Fixed scaling text zooming on Battle Commander when opening up the battle chat or squad UI.
- Switched the buttons around on the load out rename confirmation dialog to better abide by conventions.
- Improved SLI/CrossFireX support.
- A few reported issues with WinXP 64 bit edition have been addressed.
- Improved menu navigation with analogue controls.

General Improvements
- User feedback for kicks and bans has been improved.
- The intermission lobby now displays clan tags.
- Text chat is now possible in the kill cam, spawn selection, and intermission lobby screens.

New Settings & Control Options
- EnableD3D10/11 is now accessible via the system settings menu.
- Mouse acceleration is now accessible via the controls menu.
- Mouse smoothing is now accessible via the controls menu.
