Installer/Config Tool update 2

This version fixes:

- Distant view reseting value when restart configurator
- Create correct "Library" folder when run as installer
- Rename "Libray" to "Library" if necessary when run as config tool

THIS IS NOT STANDALONE, YOU HAVE TO OVERWRITE OLD EXE

Download link:  Config Tool 3.0b

I put link in 3.0 version post too.

    Probably your computer has some problem with .NET Framework installations. Try to uninstall .NET Frameworks in control panel and then installs again.

    Download .NET framework 2.0 here:

    @Simplex, let's see.

    Installer copy all the necessary folders into your "crysis 2\mods\MaLDoHDv3\" folder. This seems corrects because error is later.

    Then copy 3 .dll files from installation folder to same "crysis 2\mods\MaLDoHDv3\" and here seems that process don't finds the first of the .dll that wants to copy. Maybe there is some UAC protection against copy .dll because permisions are correct, install had copied more files before error.

    You can try 2 things:

    1- Disable UAC and re-install.
    2- or, just copy those 3 .dll files into "crysis 2\mods\MaLDoHDv3\" and run setup in that folder.

    Good luck.

    Hello Maldo,

    Thanks for a great mod and thanks for quick reply.

    "Installer copy all the necessary folders into your "crysis 2\mods\MaLDoHDv3\" folder. This seems corrects because error is later."

    I just checked - My "mods" folder is empty, nothing is there. The error appears immediately after I choose installation directory and click "OK" button. Is there a way to manually install the mod?

    Also, I have UAC completely disabled and I am running the installer as admin.

    I am using 64bit Windows 7.

    Installer asked you for crysis 2 folder or detected automatically?

    If detected, search those into your registry

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameUX\Games\{22B597F2-D639-409C-BDDD-294771523C88} -> "CONFIGAPPLICATIONPATH"

    Mod installs in the first of those that find into registry. If you have one of them, mods is installing there.

    Mod says that installation path could not be found in registry. I am selecting the directory manually (D:\Gry\Crysis 2\) and then mod says "Selected path is valid". I press OK and the error appears.

    After changing "Libray" to "Library" it have not seen any texture issues. So far so good! Also didn't you mention earlier Maldo that even if the setting say View distance is reset that it really isn't, because the view distance is pretty large for me?

    Maldo, this is really amazing stuff, you are a magician as well as a genius! I am using AMD HD5870 and before I had to turn off tessellation because it really slowed everything down. Now I can have everything on Ultra, with tessellation on normal and frame rate is excellent! I can even use Vsync and frame rate is still playable!! Thank you, thank you. I will donate to you.

    Two questions. I put DOF settings at High using your config tool but there is no DOF in game, only when aiming - do we have to wait for ShonE quality mod for this to work?
    Also, configurator did not put a mod shortcut on my desktop so I have to use configurator first each time I want to play...?

    @AndreTM, I've download my mod from internet and see that bug. There are some older files in that pak. No a big problem but I've to put some files to download tomorrow here.

    @Diablow, config file is only for config tool, don't do anything with game. Is for save settings every time you run the tool. I'm writting a new post with instructions for people that can't run config tool.

    @Unknown, config tool runs in windows 7 x64 (my main setup) and in Windows XP 32 bits (my second rig). I hope can find a clue about problems in some computers with help of us.

    @all, as said in 3.0 post, BlackFire and QMod integration will be available soon. I need to fix all problems to avoid do the work 4 times.

    Maldo Ok my name is MIke I have been posting a lot but my name stays anonymous. Here is the deal.

    1).net framework issue - I thought it was patch that's why I get the exception fault. I tried to install it as a single program. Issue Fixed.
    I was trying to run it solo and did not realize it was to overwrite the original installer.

    Now next problem that it installed just fine is

    2) maldo hd files don't match as expected with the config tool. I have it in the directory as the mod. That's the only issue I have at the moment otherwise I love the mod man great work.

    to all others wanting to use qmod. Use 1.4 because 1.5 is built into the nano suit. I am using it and it works great. Just don't overwrite the info.xml qmod will erase maldo's if you do.

    Best regards - Mike

But yeah, fall on to the glass ledge at the start of the level, jump to the next rooftop, kill the enemies then jump to the roof top after that and that's where the tile garden bed is. Right by the staircase. Some tables are invisible over the bridge. Not sure if anyone can see these problems. I got 1gb vram btw. I'll try working on getting some screens :)

    In fact real bugs are less than I expected. One wall has not material in Road Rage start near helycopter. And someone find transparent door. I'm happy enough, shit with framework crashes for somebody. I will make something about it.

    Don't use ingame options. The mod works this way, every config is extreme for the game, but works as you set in config tool. It's not a bug, is a feature XD

    You can use crytek HD textures or not for less memory requeriments.

  52. MaLDo12 October 2011 at 22:53

    Those high, very high extreme and ultra are exactly the same that in vanilla game. I put there so all can see what options and slides values for config tool parameters changes in those settings. If you open config tool and set ultra and ok, it's the same that set ultra ingame. Real benefit is you can use recommended settings that are impossible to use before wit good visuals and good performance. For those with highend systems I recommend those recommended settings+ssdo+ssreflections+lod 15+distance view 8, not use ultra.

  54. Aloha213 October 2011 at 00:25

    Well done!

    Thank you for your enthusiasm to do such a complex task like the complete overhaul of almost all textures in a game like Crysis 2, were everyone was expecting this (now!) stunning visual quality

    a) from Crytek, and
    b) from the very start (read: "F***ING RELEASE") of that game!

    Even the half-hearted 'HD Patch' looks bleak in comparison to what you did MaLDo. Now I know why I decided to buy a DX11 card and how advanced PC games could look without 'driving with the brakes on' because of consoles. I don't have any problems with consoles, games like "Uncharted" show how advanced they could be when you are developing dedicated for one platform. Nevertheless I am disappointed how a company like Crytek treated their core audience which make this franchise here what it is (was).

    "Even when you are expecting a larger potential at consoles Mr. Yerli, even then you should have shown what is maximum possible in this iteration of the series on the PC! Even only for advertising your engine in the high end range! Yes, even if doing so costs you money and the risk of amortization gets higher!" --> Chance gone!

    Ok, I stop my rant here and instead suggest to everyone to try this mod to see how textured environments can look at the end of 2011 when done right. If you like it like I do, press the "Donate" button afterwards. I did.

    Thanks again.

    Requeriments are 1.9 patch and if you want to play in DX11, you have to install DX11 crytek patch too. My mod adds DX11 files, but crytek DX11 patch adds main funtionality.

    Crytek HD textures are optional.
