Crysis 2 Advanced Graphics Options Version 1.7 Readme (3/28/2011)

Instructions

1. Once you have unziped place anywhere you want.
2. Delete any autoexec.cfg files found in the Crysis 2 root folder. (if you're asking what that is,
don't worry about it)
3. Delete any target commands you may have put on the shortcut as they will override the autoexec.cfg that is created
4. Run the Crysis2AdvancedGraphicsOptions.exe
5. Hit apply once all settings are set
6. If no settings are applied, try running the program in administrator mode.

A few notes:

1.You do not have to start this program every time you want to play Crysis 2.
2.This will work with any shortcut you make with Crysis 2. All this program does is create the autoexec.cfg
that Crysis 2 will use on startup.
3. If you enable multi-GPU support, make sure that Post Processing is at Medium (should do this automatically
4. If you want to use extreme textures, turn off MSAA
5. All of the "extreme" settings are potentially higher than the vahnilla game. No promises.
6. There are still some problems with autodetection. We will be fixing this for version 2.0 that will be coming soon.

Some Default Values:
HDR Level and Bloom Level's default value were both 1. 0 will turn them off.
Motion Blur's default value is 1. You can set it one higher with some noticable effects.
The highest vahnilla Crysis 2 went for all default settings was "extreme" which equals 3. This program
will allow you to set them to my "extreme" which sets them all to 4. This could increase graphical quality.

*WARNING*
No motion blur has been causing a problem for some people. Still have no found the root of this problem.
