Crysis 2 won't launch

Gaming

I bought Crysis 2 and I have only gotten it to launch a few times then it crashes before the movie scene is over. A few times it told me that I had an incompatible graphics card. On a few other occasions an error report window popped up saying Memory allocation error for ######## bytes failed. The window title says cryengine error at the top of it.


I've defragged cleaned and searched for bad sectors on my PC. I went to evga and got the latest drivers for my 2-way SLI set up including the enhanced sli patch for Crysis 2. I tried running it from Gamespy Comrade and from the start menu in the games icon with the same issue. The release day patched installed so I assume it isn't that. Only thing I haven't tried yet is turning off my anti-virus which I will try after posting this. Thank you for any tips you might have.


My specs:

EVGA 750i FTW

2x GTX 260 c216

Xigmatek 850w sli PSU

Intel q9550

Corsair Domninator 1066 2x4GB ram

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the problem

I didn't think to check but do you suppose the EA Download Manager would prevent it from running right it? I'm not sure if the game has DRM on it and I think that EA DM has something to do with DRM. I tried opening EA DM and it said it failed to launch that too. I reinstalled it and I'm gonna try it again. I see the icon in the app tray in the lower left corner after I reinstalled it. Lets cross fingers and hope it works....

Yeah, it could be something like that.


I'm really not sure, after their demo freakin failed to work for me I kinda gave up on the game right there. Looks like they didn't improve much of anything for the final release either.

It was the EA Download Manager. Sorry I didn't get back right away. I've been playing it ever since.
