Crysis Acting funny

[SuicidalCheezIt]

Ok, I downloaded the demo to try it out. It runs on my ATI Radeon 2600 XT 256MB on high without lag. Except, when starting it up its very jerky and slow. The menu takes a couple clicks to work. Once its in-game, its perfect. I have no idea what causes this? Any ideas?

Post your system specs?

[Sir. Crackerjam]

I'm guessing its your RAM...

[SuicidalCheezIt]

Alright
2Gb ram
2.4ghz core 2 duo
ATI Radeon 2600 XT 256mb
Windows XP
Its under boot camp, but it uses official drivers.
I have every thing on high except shadows on medium and that runs fine, just the menu and intros never work.

Sounds like you RAM, as stated above. Are you trying to force them on the ultra-high settings? If not, Try lowering all of your settings to the lowest, and see if the menus lag; then work your way up from there.

While I'm not trying to be confrontational, I'm curious how you are managing to run this on such beefy settings with your system. Well done.

im playing crysis with 2gig ram and it works fine on med/low settings

Could be the video card ram. 256 seems a bit low for running things on high. It may be trying to still load stuff during the beginning.

The key difference being the medium/low settings compared to the High -- I have a beefy machine (3+ghz, 3 gig ram, dual Nvidia 8800 Ultras) but I can't run on the highest (which requires Vista/DX10), even when I tried forcing it. I had the same this as the topic of the forum, The game runs fine, but the menus and the in-game menus (such as the weapon customization screen and the overlay map) lagged the whole thing.
