PC Crysis Demo Screwup err Delay and New Beta ForceWare Drivers
Email This Post
The release of the Crysis demo has been set to Saturday for the people who did not pre-order (Us). If you did the pre-order the Crysis demo will be exclusively available for about 24hours via the EA downloader. On Saturday, October 27th the demo will be put online for download an all public sites.
Maybe I am confused, but aren’t demos designed to promote sales of games? How much of an incentive is a demo as a pre-order bonus anyway? Let alone 24 hours of a demo?
I am going to put this in the “WTF was EA thinking!†category. Well it now looks like the some who’ve pre-ordered are currently unable to grab the demo and / or unlock it.
Anyway, if you’re planning to download the demo, you should also get the new ForceWare Beta Drivers (v169.01). Here are some highlights about this updated driver:
- Beta driver for GeForce FX, 6, 7, and 8 series GPUs.
- Recommended driver for Crysis single player game demo.
- Several game and application compatibility fgbixes. Please read the release notes for more information on product support, features, driver fixes and known compatibility issues.
