Is anyone else here having the problem with Crysis on their Radeon 4870? The main problems I'm talking about is on the carrier level when the game lags real bad and eventually just freezes up and crashes. The rest of the game prior to this point ran smoothly on 1600x1200 all high settings with some minor hiccups along the way.
 
What setting do you have it at? I was just playing Crysis Warhead on the highest level. I have to get Crysis though.
 
high settings
It was having the same problems when I turned the settings down to medium

Core 2 Duo E8400 3 ghz
2 gb ddr3
Asrock p45turbotwins2000 mobo
Diamond radeon hd 4870 1 gb
1 internal 7200 rpm drive
1 dvd internal burner
500 w psu

get newer drivers. when i had my 8500GT, with newer drivers, game ran flawlessly. now the the 8600GTS, older drivers, i have crashes. and none of the (*&*^%(^$%^$*%^$&^%* drivers i download work!!!!!!
 
Iv never had freeze ups with my 4870 on crysis, but I did notice a bit of lag once or twice. When I say lag I dont mean just a drop in frames, I mean like the game almost freezes then unfreezes quickly. I noticed this Mostly after switching to vista(dx10). I also got a higher frame rate on XP. Im assuming this is because of DX10.
 
ugh, I just had it freeze on me 3 times now, did you find any solution? I even tried dropping the difficulty so that I could kill that giant alien thing and just move on but no luck...

is harddisk bad cluster.....

chkdsk /f /r <driver letter>: (it takes a long time for my 500G harddisk)

is the ati installation files or extraction got written on the bad cluster, making it installed bad inf within the windows/system/inf directory. (read this from the chkdsk process)

i used to have my 4870 1G freezed within game from time to time but not always. i play wow.

now i have smoothness 60fps with all game setting to max.

my game drive was also checked, written on bad sector/ cluster. I also reinstalled the game.
