Crysis and SwiftShader 2.0

[Kakashi Hattake]

I have Crysis and Swiftshader 2.0, the main menu shows up fine, but
when I try to start a new game right after loading, the swiftshader
logo disappears, the screen flickers, and the screen just stays black
and I can hear everything going on in the game but cant see anything.
Is there anyway to fix this? If I need to tweak the swiftshader.ini
can someone tell me what I need to exactly tweak?

I´ve tried crysis with XP and it doesn´t work, only with vista
maybe because of the drivers

I think you can run it without swiftshader, Just I havn't got it
running without swiftshader, as proven here:

It's impossible for Swiftshader 2.0 to run Crysis. This is because:

1. Swiftshader 2.0 can only emulate Shader Model 2.0
2. Crysis is using Shader Model 3.0 (even at low settings)
3. There is no way a Shader Model 2.0 emulator can emulate Shader
Model 3.0 graphics

Try the 3dAnalyze page here: http://groups.google.com/group/intel9x-gaming/browse_thread/thread/1dab2066689de656

Seems they can get up to 25 FPS, which is pretty damn amazing.
