This is because Cry2engine does not support uncompressed TGA's. It can support uncompressed TIF's but i don't know why the heck you would want to!

Do you have photoshop installed if you do you should get the Nvidia DDS and normal map plugin which will help you turn that TGA you have into a DDS.

You can do it in the material editor in SB2.

Plus max should support DDS files...what version are you using cause i know 8-9 work fine with DDS.
