You placed all the colors manually?

No, I did not color anything manually. I did have to set torch and lava blocks to emit light, glass blocks transparent, and water block reflections.

My world's colors are forgeted up, I can't tell the difference between dirt, planks or wood trunks... or fences.

That is odd, what arguments did you use when you ran mcobj?

I used Mcobj. https://github.com/quag/mcobj/blob/master/README.md
All it does is convert the chunk you specify into .obj format.

Several hard drives are amazing for spreading out startup applications. I can go from my computer being off to surfing the internet is about a minute. Most people don't realize that programs take forever to load because hard drives can only do one thing at a time, so having startup applications loading off multiple drives really speeds up logging on and getting to using your computer. The less used drives are also great for the pagefile.

C and D are the same drive, so there are 4 physical drives total.

That power supply is overkill unless you plan to upgrade. You could easily do with a $50 or less power supply and be fine with that build.

Graphics are considerably dumbed down (low res textures everywhere) with lack of options

There is still the possibility that the textures in the demo are low res on purpose to save on bandwidth (other game demos in the past have done this).

Here is my list of rage inducing features included in the demo:

-Autoaim enabled by default. This isn't loving xbox wtf?

-The default FOV is 55 degrees, with no way of changing it. Playing is like looking through a cardboard tube.

-The multiplayer uses Gamespy. Undoubtedly one of the worst multiplayer systems ever. <-This worries me because it may be too late for them to change to something not utterly fail.

-Only runs in DX9. Seriously crytek, if you want to showcase your product, let people see it with the best graphics possible.

-There are 2 graphics options you can change. One being resolution and the other being the choice between "Gamer, Advanced, and Hardcore"

u jus mad cuz ur xbox cant pally on ultra and ur pc can't even handle low

FYI the lowest settings on the PC version still surpass the Xbox and PS3 graphics.

If you have an ATI graphics card, some older version of the ATI drivers caused BSOD's when trying to play flash content due to hardware acceleration.
