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! (http://obsidian-fire.net/How_To_install.wmv)
Things you'll need:
-Powerarchiver 2007 (http://www.powerarchiver.com)
-UAC turned off (See method 4) (http://www.petri.co.il/disable_uac_in_windows_vista.htm)
-Administrator rights
___________________________
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]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.

-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!*

USER COMMENTS/TESTIMONIALS
===========================
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!
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!
