I have:
********
AMD Athlon 64 x2 5600+ (dual core at 2.8GHz)
nVIDIA Geforce 8600GTS
2GB DDR RAM
CiBox 22" monitor
Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit
A genuine copy of Crysis
********

I have a problem changing the graphics settings in crysis. Every time I change them my crysis seems to freeze or not correctly change them. I love playing online but it lags a lot... It didn't used to but something went strange and seems to have caused crysis settings to malfunction.

As I open crysis and go into the graphics settings from the main menu, this is how it looks:

Motion Blur is set to custom. Let's say that I wanted to turn it off like so:

when I attempt to, this happens...

After I then reload Crysis, it has changed the motion blur setting to medium but has changed the post processing quality to custom:

I tried changing it to medium and this time it did actually work:

Now everything is on medium, I go into multiplayer > online play and go into the graphics settings again and everything has changed to this:

It doesn't make any sense... If i try changing the graphics settings in online play then it just freezes. It's like whatever I do doesn't make any difference. It is now lagging so much it's unplayable especially when I am driving a vehicle or in a fight.

I know that It doesn't lag with everything on medium because I used to have everything set like that and I had no problems.

Tried:
• reinstalling crysis
• updating my graphics drivers using the update from the nVIDIA website

none of the above helped.

Help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Dan.

Well backtrack a bit. What changed on your computer from when it was working properly?

Well I'm not enitrely sure, having thought about it I really don't know, it wasn't sudden. I suppose it was ages ago. I detected the lag but didn't really do much about it. After then watching my brother play i realised in comparison how much it was lagging.

I still don't understand though, how can it be possible?
