Crysis Doesn't Work...

[Coldkilla]

Initially after installing the game: It worked perfectly. Then the sound started to act funny, the gun sounds stopped working. I stopped playing, restarted my PC, and then the game didn't even load up. I uninstalled Crysis, deleted the download file. Uninstalled EA Download Manager. Redownloaded EVERYTHING while I was at work. Unencypted the game, and installed it again. This time the game worked fine instead of 2 hours, it worked for 3. Except now the problems I am witnessing:

1. No gun sparks.
2. No gun
3. No bionocs/scope hud display
4. No movement detection of mouse

Are you running onboard sound or a seperate dedicated sound card?

I forgot to mention: I have an XFI-Elite Pro soundcard.

I don't see how the soundcard though makes my gun not appear and the game not to respond to mouse movements (see video).

...guess I'll ask for a refund considering the download version (for me) did not have the editor or the editor installer...

Bought hard copy, it works now.
