HOW TO INSTALL, THE VIDEO TUTORIAL![By Arch]
Here's a video, showing how I install the CCC pack on my system, from start to finish.
Of course, you should only follow this tutorial if you're having problems.

How-to install CCC, the right way.WATCH HERE!

Things you'll need:
-Powerarchiver 2007
-UAC turned off (See method 4)

___________________________
HOW DO I INSTALL?

1. Start the Installer, run through it and when its done...
2. Play the game, and ENJOY.
3. BUT BEFORE you get lost in all the Awesome Crysis Graphics and Smoother Framerates:

COME BACK to this Thread:(v2.21 Support Thread):
http://www.incrysis.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=23117

And post your:

1. PC Specs
2. LVL-config used
3. Performance gained/lost (how much FPS)?
4. Your Resolution + average min/max FPS with the Crysis GPU Benchmark.
     -from BEFORE 2.21
     -and AFTER 2.21
5. Bugs/Glitch Reporting:
     -Post 2-3 Screenshots where the Bug/Glitch Appear
     -With Specific Directions to where/when the bug/glitch occurs.
6. Any Comments or Suggestions!

* the above info is EXTREMELY USEFUL.*

-It allows US and EVERYONE ELSE viewing this Thread to gain an idea of the average performance the v2.21 configs offers to a specific Hardware. Within the wide variety of PC Hardware the CCC users play with.

-Helps me determine how much further tweaking would be ideal for future installments of the CCC. Using the FPS/Resolution figures given by the CCC users.

___________________________
HOW DO I PICK WHICH LVL TO USE?
Here is how you pick(trial and error works too):

*You can switch the LVL config you want at any time just Reinstall and do not select the TOD.*

LVL-1 = VERY-LOW (For 'Low-end' PC.)   [CPU]x1    [RAM]1GB Min    [GPU]8600/8500 256MB and up.
LVL-2 = LOW (For 'Slow' Gaming-PC's.)  [CPU]x2    [RAM]1GB           [GPU]8800GT 256-320MB, 7950GT & up
LVL-3 = MEDIUM (For'Good' Gaming-PC.)  [CPU]x2    [RAM]2GB & up   [GPU]8800GT/GTS [old]320-640MB
LVL-4 = HIGH (For 'Great' Gaming-PC.)  [CPU]x2-x4 [RAM]2GB & up   [GPU]8800GT/GTS [g92]512 & up
LVL-5 = HIGH+(For 'Great' Gaming-PC.)  [CPU]x2-x4 [RAM]2GB & up   [GPU]8800GT/GTS [g92]512 & up
LVL-6 = VERYHIGH (FOR FUTURE Gaming PCs)[CPU]x2-4 [RAM]2GB-4 & up [GPU]8800Ultra & up.

*NOTE*For [GPU]'s, the equivalent or nearest match (performance-wise) using:

Last-Generation (8x00 or 7x00 Nvidia Series or ATi GFX Cards), or
Current-Generation (9x00 or 2x0 Nvidia Series or ATi GFX Cards) Hardware is is also acceptable.

___________________________
MUST READ!

-You MUST have the .NET Framework 2.0 installed in order to run this program!
-YOU MUST START A NEW GAME, if you install the TOD!
- IF YOUR ON VISTA! You need to DISABLE the UAC!
The installer WILL KICK YOU in the face if it's on. Yes I made it do that on purpose.
- *When you're installing it might seem as if the installer isn't responding, just let it be.. When you're installing the ToD and if you decided to back up your files, the installation may take up to 10 minutes to complete!*

Just registered to post some benchmarks if anyone is interested.

At first I thought I would go for level 5, but after running some tests I'm actually tempted to go for level 3 maybe with a few tweaks since it looks really good for the fps I get.
Nice work !

All I can say is Wow! I remember the days when the cutscenes were a bit choppy on my computer but now runs smooth as silk. I can actually see how I'm moving faster and I can spray my gun easily into the North Koreans. The sun is great in Contact, very nice adjustments to that! I cannot wait to continue. Terrific job, you guys! Y'all went above and beyond on this one!

StevenNevets wrote:

The TOD is great, I did my own comparison and yea...  Might as well not even be an option, it's that good.
The sharp shadows do look better but they also sacrifice frames.  Not good when you're only on level 1-2 but if you're at 3+ with frames to spare you should go for it.

I am running a Q6600 at 3.375 GHz, Point of View Geforce GTX 280 @ 666/1388/1195 clocks and 4 gigs of Corsair DDR2 memory on an Abit IP35 mobo.

In overall I'm very satisfied with the performance of this new CCC and most of all, I immediately noticed that difference in image quality is very significant over the older 1.31. Colors are more vivid, shadows appear REALLY sharp at much longer distances than before and look generally better, and sky looks more '3d', and realistic.

Sadly, when worst comes to worst, game becomes unplayable at some points due to weird artifacting. So far I havent found any solution to this. Lowering GPU clocks back to stock values didnt fix the issue either. And as someone else reported, I am having this erratic behaviour under Vista in DX 9-rendered as well. And I'm sure its not my hardware since it only occurs when the CCC autoexec is in place on crysis main folder.

Hopefully we can get this random issue fixed

GOOD JOB WHOLE CCC TEAM!

I have to say,  the new ccc is the best thing ever.  Level 5 if you can. The graphics, and shadow tweaks are amazing, Wow....  I was especially taken by the audio tweaks.  With my headphones on , everything came alive.  It really put me in the atmosphere.  I can hear everything in complete separation, depth and clarity.  Hearing all the things in the jungle just as if you were there.
   Also,  the ai tweaks (both of them) are hard, however,  they are just as I have hoped.  If you want to stay alive,  you better have all your ducks in the row.  No more run in gun, I can stay alive and do some damage for long periods of time with the right mind set. Very realistic, and fun. The ai tweaks make you value your life more when playing, a few times the ai's made me jump out of my chair in close battle! Sweet..........

Congrats to all you guys, and thanks much!

played some in-game (finally).  I must say...that dawning sun when you come to that cliff overlooking the first enemy encampment looks simply beautiful.  I don't know how it was done, but CCC 2.21's ToD smokes v1.3's.  My hat off to you guys.

Okay, I was up till 4 in the morning playing with this fine time-sucking mod.

MY specs:

Q6600 stock speed
8800 GT stock speed
XP
2 GB RAM

I played level 5 at 1600 x 1080 for the first few levels and it was playable! (later I switched to 1280x800).  Most excellent.

A few comments on the TOD up to the Core level, where I finally called it quits 1/2 way through:

- Night is just freakin' fantastic.  I loooove the lack of color in the darkness.

- The sunrise is rich, although I wish the sun itself was closer to white instead of the same color orange that  its rays are.  I don't know if it's possible, and it doesn't matter because I only stare at it  when it first comes up, then I ignore it.

- The light during the day is superior to Crytek's because it feels so warm.  The shadows are bang on perfect this time.  The caveat seems to be that grass tends to look a little washed out and ends up as blobs of green.  I suspect this limitation has to do with the plant textures, so I imagine not much can be done there.

- Is there a particle mod in there?  It feels like there are way more birds, insects, and goop in the water.

- Also, has that film grain effect always been there?  I ask this because I never noticed it before and I just switched from a CRT to an LCD.

- For the first time EVER, I saw the boat cutscene without any slowdown or pauses--and at 1600x1050!  I was amazed.

- The water seems wetter and wavier now.

- The Core is colder.  It appears that there are more particle effects here as well.  The tradeoff here is that the more monocolor approach sacrifices depth perception.  Everything looks more 2-D.

MY install was flawless and I have experienced no graphical glitches. I'll throw up benches later.

This is such a far cry from the play experience I had the first time I installed Crysis.

Just installed!
No glitches/bugs seen in the installer or the benchmark runs.

  Looks good so far!

The AI is sweet, btw, and the damage they do reminds me a lot of Rainbow Six/Rogue Spear, where just one or two good shots could (and typically would) put you down for good.

using level 3 config, kick arse graphics and good FPs, still glitches though

Thanks for the benchmarks... Nice rig..

Btw you are CPU limited, Try upgrading to a X2 6400 Black Edition or A Quad-Core Phenom, you have tons of ram and GPU power, just a limiting CPU.

So I just came home last night and just had try out the new config. And It,s AMAZING. Everything looks great! Now I can play at 1400-900 I can do better but I like to keep the FPS around 30. I usually have a problem with crysis since I have a 30" screen but now it´s amazing. And the AI tweak!! I played a half an hour without the koreans take a singel shot at me cause their is one rule when you play doomlords delta play stelthy or die
Crysis Looks And feels more realistic then ever before, and I LOVE IT.

You almost get scared when you think about what these can do with Warhead!

I'm not going to post any benches, but I can tell you it runs smooth.

I've played from the first level to harbor since yesterday with this config, and I've almost never noticed a fps drop. Graphics are amazing btw, especially when you kill those first neno koreans at the tomb yard, amazing.

Running at level 4, 1680x1050, all nvidia controls set to the absolute max
Well, overall very nice job fowks.
