I think thats an excellent idea, dont forget to make a copy of Crysis.exe when you get a good copy working
ill send a Rar file and an unpacked set of directorys.
i could also copy off my full Crysis install dirs/subdirs, but then we would have to force a new CD key (yours) ontop. its do-able there is a program which does it, but we are starting to get into the realms of crazy complex there. The game is due to be ported to Crysis wars eventually as well, but id rather not wait to have you by my side till then, so we will keep hammering away at this in the meantime. Definatly try a custom install to a new Crysis directory, and see how you go
Best of luck Mate

Well.....attemp to install #8 has failed .
This time I installed Crysis in another directory. I test run the game after installing the patches each time and it runs perfectly.
The MWLL launcher could not find the Crysis application file, so it must be hard coded to the default directory. So I ran the game from the new folder directly and I got the black screen again with the same error as always "crysis has stopped working".
I loaded a saved copy of the application file that I know worked prior to unpacking the Beta, into the bin32 folder and ran that file with exactly the same results. So I believe it is something to do with the downloaded Beta.
So in a nutshell, I have a working patched version of Crysis, a non corupted Beta download, and I have followed the install procedure to the letter as well as a few other experiments and I cant get this d**n thing to work. I keep doing the same thing over and over with the same result. I'm really getting nowhere with this.

Thats excellent news, if you have the link, post it here in case anyone else is having the same problem finding a good copy. if you have issues with the hotfix file let me know, its small enough to pass to you via MSN.
well..........follow the step by step and hopefully i should be able to walk you around enterprise today, i can set up a password protected server so we can explore the functions without having to dodge AC rounds lol
i figured out how to equip my BA with a manpack PPC yesterday, and spent last night sniping caliope turrets at the enemy spawn for the fun of it.
Great news well done.
Enterprise is empty right now, so my MSN is open if you need help with the rest

ahh what a pain, i share your frustration mate. you could try and post your efforts and BSD result at the MWLL forums, its possible someone else will recognise how yours breaks down and have a fix........ or i can do it for you if you prefer, but you should prob do it, as they may ask questions which you are best positioned to answer. there is a bug reporting section now, try posting there and the general page, as well ive had it suggested when i was having probs to do a registry cleanup , which i do on a regular basis anyway, i guess its something to try though to be honest i dont think it helped me get mine running. if you post at MWLL be sure to send me the link to it, and i will post that i would appreciate any help thats given on top, theyve posted my step by step in the knowledge base section and are sending PMs for help my way now, so they might be inclined to return the favour and give your problem a good look see

Ok we have Spock up and running, the issue was file locations if your extract isnt putting the mods folder into the Crysis directory as its shown below Then you have to do it manually, its pretty easy create a scratch folder called Crysis mod or similar and copy these files into it www.onionwars.net/mwll/MWLL-OpenBeta1.rarand the hotfix patch www.thelivinglegends.net/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;id=78extract the first one there, it will create a folder called mods then extract the second file, and say yes to all when it asks if you want to overwrite, this will patch your mod to version 3 of MW:LL once thats done copy the mods folder (and its contents, including subdirectorys) into your C:\Program File\electronic arts\crytek\crysis folder. this should then look the the first pic above. dont forget to do the steps involving actionmaps as per the original guide

If you experiencing crashes try the following:
Navigate to your "My Documents\My Games\Crysis" folder, and delete your shaders folder, by doing this, the cry engine will re-download the shaders for the mod.

ive just had confirmation from another player ive been helping to get this up and running via the MWLL forums.
Like Spock he was getting a black screen when he tried to run the game
and like Spock the fix was
delete the Crysis folder in mydocuments/mygames entirely. the game will recreate the folder complete with the actionmaps files when it starts up
another tip thats being suggested to fix games crash's is to use the MWLL launcer, which i am now doing to start the game instead of loading the Mod from inside a crysis startup
it works ok, but im not sure its fixed any CTD (crash to desktop) issues

hm installed crysis+ patches and mwll + hotfix and it works fine..besides the fact that i cant connect to any servers.. it always says something like "server authentication failed(3)" and i cant connect to enterprise since i dont have dx10 update: i cant even start an own server by myself(internet).. it always says the same message "server authentication failed(3)" tried some things i read in other forums about that but nothing worked so far update #2: well i tested some things and from what i know know my problem is as simple as annoying.. i have a fake cd key no idea how this can be but it must be so since i have no idea why else i cant connect.. and it seems that there are d**n many people who have the same problem well i guess i'll order crysis again and then try it again with the new key.. since a keygen didnt help much though im not sure if its worth it since from what i heard mwll will be modified for crysis warhead so that it works on warhead only in february or march or something dunno if thats true though well.. no idea if i should order crysis again now though..

it is true that MWLL will be moving over to Crysis Wars eventually. However I really dont expect this to happen for a while yet. One option is to buy the combined Crysis/Wars package which contains both games. I'm not sure of the exact title of the package.
One question before you go spending more money is, do you have Gamespy (Comrad) installed and do you have a Gamespy account set up? Gamespy is included in your Crysis cd. Since MWLL is a muliplayer only game, you need this to access the servers as well as the cd key being legit.

Hi s1lencer, schau doch mal ins SoE Forum, dort wurden glaube ich bereits Lösungen gepostet (hab selber kein Crysis, aber die Posts dort gesehen): www.shadows-of-empirion.de/nuke/index.phpFrost

well all in all everyone works fine, patches, mod, comrad works(after half an hour of trying to get it running:D) but still i cant connect to any servers..
and like said above i suggest i have a fake cd key since thats what most forums say to this issue (like mwll forum, mbo forum and some others)

Yeah invalid CD key is a common message on enterprise, id say at least half the players who connect have this. DX10 is available free online if you need it, but i think you also need vista to run it, i can host enterprise as DX9 but the graphics were not so good.
good luck mate, hope it works for you soon
