I started working on a custom autoexec.cfg for Crysis 2 HD

This will be a cfg for high end settings for Crysis 2 HD. And the first installment of the Crysis 2 HD mod as we can not open and edit the pak files yet.

be sure to rename the autoexec.txt to autoexec.cfg as I can't upload CFG files
If anybody is willing to give it a spin and give me some feedback i can work it out further.

EDIT: for v0.02

EDIT2: for v0.03
I didn't have time to redo all the weapon settings yet and full physicial bullets are not able to be done at the moment as everything is done with particles and not with rigid bodies v0.04 will have the weapons and their ammo redone. For v0.05 we hope to include custom textures.

[Sarcasm] Yay ! finaly Crysis2 show all his modding ability ! [/Sarcasm]

Wel at this moment it's the only thing I can mod so why not.... Hope we can have access to the pak files soon.

thats was not a sarcasm agaisnt you, but about Crysis2 =).
And hm, and if someone find a wait to "crack" the pak file i doubt that this forum allow to give the information, if it not come from Crytek.

uh, 33 fps cap?


thats pretty laggy to my eyes

I have just uploaded an updated version 002. if you have any feedback on what's bothering you about the default "Extreme" settings for Crysis2 please let me know so I can update the settings where needed.

Where in the world did you find the CVars folder?? Can you attach it in a post for me as a zip file? thanks.

looks good
