  1. Hi was really looking forward to giving this a try but ran into an issue. FlowSystem Warning. flow arachnid_hide: Failed to create node 14 of type entity:Arachnid – FLOWGRAPH DISCARDED. Click on OK and next message arachnid_hide: Did not load all nodes (4/22 nodes) FlowGraph Discarded… click okay and the regular game loads. I thought maybe i need to get so far and then it would switch to SGC but no good. Regular Crysis game…

    1. Hello, When exactly does this warning message appear? The game crashes and you can’t continue? If it’s a warning, it shouldn’t affect the game.
