Objects disappearing and random slowness.

[Bad@Gaming]

Hey guys, I have Sapphire's Radeon HD7870 Ghz OC edition (factory 1050/1250 MHz clock).

 

When I'm playing crysis 3, I often notice that when viewing objects from afar, they sometimes disappear entirely and then reappear. For instance when I'm looking through a sniper scope, the objects outside the scope when I look from side to side sometimes disappear momentarily, or when I'm riding the VTOL around skyline I'll see random objects (generators, window, ect) disappear momentarily.

 

Also, every once in a blue moon, I'll suddenly enter a battle with unprecedented slowness (like below 10 fps as opposed to the normal 60).

 

Sometimes the game crashes, and I get various error codes when looking at the windows reliability history:

 

ApphangB1

BEX

 

What do these mean?

 

 

Is this an issue with the game (I haven't had these same issues with other games), or my hardware?

 

The settings I play at are:

 

1280x720 res (not full screen)

mix of med/high/vhigh details

very high post processing

8x MSAA

No motion blur

Vsync enabled.

 

 

Thanks for your time.

Why the hell are you playing at 720p?Recording?

 

Anyway,for the BEX error :

1. Go to C:\Users\"you"\Documents\My Games\Crysis. Cut the whole crysis folder there, and paste it to your desktop.

2. Try to start the game again. Crysis should remake the folder and the stuff in that folder. 

3. Quit the game, and copy the saved games in the crysis folder on your desktop, and put it back were it should be.

1. Why do you have 8x MSAA?

2. Why do you have Vsync enabled?

My monitors native res is 1280x1024, but I like the widescreen look more

Interesting. What is BEX anyway?

 

 

First off you could help your PC by turning off 8X MSAA and setting it down to a SMAA variant or even FXAA to save your GPU some work. Otherwise try reinstalling/updating your drivers. It could be the game, that wouldn't surprise me... Crytek and their optimization. Hope this helps and let me know if I can help you in your quest. You could also try and validate the files or reinstall the game.

 

I actually recently re installed my graphics driver (13.2).

 

Should I upgrade to the beta driver?

 

1. Why do you have 8x MSAA?

2. Why do you have Vsync enabled?

 

1. Because jumping from 4x MSAA to 8xMSAA didn't drop my frame rate at all (I have absolutely no idea why)

2. Because why have it disabled? Trying to display more frames than your monitor can handle can make for odd image anomalies. There was a tomshardware article on this a few months back (the myths of graphics cards p1)

Also I thought it might be that I was maxing out my Vram for some reason, but I checked with GPU-Z and it said the max usage was 1.4GB's (Doesn't this seem high for 720p though?)

OP,just get a better monitor already.Really, I had a 720p monitor like 10 years ago or something like that.
