How do you generate invites anyways?

This is what I'd like to know, as I haven't had any luck with any of the websites I've tried. It's not long until the alpha ends and it looks like I won't get to try it. :(

So far I haven't been able to try the game even though I did get a key because the game won't start, tried everything suggested that I can find anywhere, was even going to help the devs troubleshoot the issue (many people are unable to launch the game), but they never replied after initial contact (gmail, like most email providers, block exe's, so I didn't get the program they attempted to send to assist with the troubleshooting) so I can't even attempt to help then fix it. :/

Your key is sent.

Oh and to answer you guys's question, you remember the ranked games being only available to some Ranked Server Providers, right? Like, BF2, BF2142, Medal of Honor, Bad company 2, BF3, Medal of Honor: Breakthrough, Crysis2, Crysis3, and probably some I forgot?

The company I work for we are Ranked Server Providers, and for Crysis 3, EA gave us batches of keys to share around. We first got a batch, which the company decided to share with old clients (Makes sense really), but we got... ALOT of keys. So, we figured we wouldn't waste em and share the keys with people.

And you guys are the recipients of this sharing of wealth! :)

BTW, my company is http://artofwarcentral.com .

I'd like to request a key! I want to try it out on my brother's laptop which has a DX11 GPU. Thanks in advance. :)

What error are you getting, if any?

Are you sure your PC has Windows 7 and a DX11 card?

No error's, Windows Event Viewer does have two crash errors ever time I try to start it......a standard "Faulting application, Crysis 3 MP Alpha.exe" and another that says "Windows cannot access the file blah blah........File: <no file given>".

I've tried a repair installation, running Origin as admin, running Crysis 3 MP Alpha as admin, disabling UAC, verifying a correct md5 hash on the game EXEs, trying the latest GPU drivers and older ones (some people had luck with the 12.8 drivers working, but not the newer ones) and of course redownloading and reinstalling the game from scratch.....nothing has worked and the devs (and alpha forums as a whole) have been unresponsive in assisting with getting it fixed.

Are you sure your PC has Windows 7 and a DX11 card?

Positive, Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit. ATI 6950 GPU....no on-board video so I can't disable that (nothing to disable).

Wait, what? How come I didn't see this thread until now, and how come I didn't know about a Crysis 3 alpha at all until now?! And how come I'm asking dumb questions?

Also, can I get a key? I know dumb question :(

I'd take one off your hands if there are any left. Played so much of Crysis 2 which was an amazing game but unfortunately burdened with so many problems and bugs, already read that they finally fixed the orbital strike bug though so my hopes are high :D

Has anyone found a way to enable SLI yet? I've tried a few suggestions posted online but none of them worked - the game either plays on a single card or crashes. The issue is that my primary resolution is 2560x1600, so I've had to drop it down to High settings to get a playable framerate. It's annoying because Crysis 2 fully supported SLI and I got 60fps at max settings.

The gameplay seems solid at least, which is a good start.

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I like Tidal, but it still does not control devices from the mobile/app and still no surround support. And yeah re: above comment I still get a lot of network errors and I am on a 4/4 Gbit Fiber connection.

      Aren`t "security features" and "AI model that can see your screen" a tad diametric!
    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen Recently, we had Amazon's Prime Day 2026 sales wherein there were several great deals including on SSDs. One of those discounted components was the Samsung 990 PRO SSD as the 2TB variant of it was selling for $370, a very good price after a long time. Although that deal was supposed to expire today, Amazon has now extended that sale further (purchase link under the specs table down below). The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $400. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The technical specs of the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 NAND Flash Samsung V-NAND TLC Controller Samsung In-house Controller Cache Memory Samsung 2GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM Sequential Read Speed Up to 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,550,000 IOPS Random Read (4KB, QD1) Up to 22,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD1) Up to 80,000 IOPS Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Reliability (MTBF) 1.5 Million Hours Endurance 1,200 TBW (Total Bytes Written) Get it at the link below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe SSD (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      Glad im on the right boat. Tidal has lots of issues in terms of app and music mix, its worst than spot but its honest. Spot algo is very tendentious and they pess less to artists, so im comfortable with the tidal errors, for now.
    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says by David Uzondu Image via Tidal Tidal has announced an AI policy aimed at protecting artists and their crafts, as AI music generation tools continue to improve both in speed and quality. According to the music streaming platform, AI-generated music will be accepted, but these tracks will be held to a "higher standard" of content integrity. Next month, the company plans to auto-identify and tag these uploads. Listeners will spot a special icon next to content that algorithms flag as 100% AI-generated starting mid-July, and the platform hopes to expand this tag to partially generated songs as detection tech improves. Any AI music that exploits an artist's voice or likeness will be taken down, and Tidal will immediately block tracks associated with fraudulent activity, which includes artificial streaming and deceptive content that interferes with real creators. And finally, music that's 100% AI-generated will not be monetized. Tidal said there is "ongoing debate" about whether certain licensed synthetic models deserve payouts, so it's possible that this part will change in the future. Streaming platforms are absolutely getting flooded with AI-generated music because of how easy it is to pump out endless tracks every minute. To give you an idea of how "bad" it is, Deezer alone reported that synthetic uploads now make up about 44% of its daily intake, which translates to roughly 75,000 automated tracks hitting its servers every single day. Interestingly, Deezer found most people cannot tell the difference between human and machine creations, with an Ipsos study revealing that 97% of listeners failed to spot the AI-generated tracks. Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music. The Swedish platform partnered with Universal Music Group to test "legal and controlled" generative AI tools that let subscribers remix songs with AI.
