stuck at 60hz on Crysis on CRT. PLEASE HELP!

[neokeelo]

Is there any way to get my Sony 21 Flat screen CRT to run Crysis Wars in DX 10 at 100Hz like all my other games do? Is this just a bug?

After installing the new 08.12 driver Crysis warhead now will work with I use an external program like Refreshlock but Crysis still does not. Does anyone know how to tweak Crysis to run 1600x1200 at 85hz?

It works fine for me.

Are you on Vista 64? The signed driver issue in that prevents a lot of refresh rate fixes from working properly.

I am on Vista 32bit, i have tried different refresh programs but there not working for Crysis.

Use the monitor driver hack I described down the thread here. It works on XP and should also work on Vista 32, which allows unsigned drivers. This seems to be a more reliable solution than any of the refresh rate programs.

YES!!!! After about 2 days of looking online I finally somehow got Power Strip to get it saved at 1280x1024@100hz or 1600x1200@85Hz. I might be wrong but I think Powerstrip works where all others failed because either it has a slightly different refresh timings or is at a deeper level in the OS. Anyways, I'm happy and can now finally enjoy Crysis for the first time

*Update edit *

Powerstrip seems to work but not at first, for example, i start the game running at 1280x1024 but it starts at 60hz, i change the resolution to 1600x1200, and it goes to the correct refresh rate 85hz, then i change it back to 1280x1024 and it "might" go to 100hz, if not i repeat the process until it does. seems to work after the 2nd or 3rd time, it sucks but its the only thing that has worked so far.
