Because Cryostasis is a 32 bit program, in Windows it only can use 2 GB of memory for the game. In 64 bit systems, it also uses as 2 GB at maximum, but you can patch 32 bits EXE to use 4 GB of RAM in 64 bits systems.

Issues fixed
Noclip bug
- A common problem that is encountered after saving in certain places and then reloading from that save point is the player will suddenly start clipping through walls and be unable to progress normally.
Use console commands[citation needed] |
---|
|
"The program cannot start because PhysXLoader.dll is missing from your computer" error at launch
- It provides no error message if launched from Steam. This error only appears on direct launch.
Install PhysX legacy |
---|
Install the NVIDIA PhysX Legacy System Software. |
Advanced PhysX effects not rendering in-game
Install PhysX and set it up |
---|
|
"Cryostasis Termination" error on startup
- On startup, the game crashes directly to an error message stating "Effect::Load() failed. screen_00.fxo File not found".
Change Shader version in config file[citation needed] |
---|
|
Black Screen on startup
- On startup, the game is a black screen but has audio.
Change Resolution in the config file to your native resolution[10] |
---|
|
Cryostasis Termination: Can't upload texture / Random Crash
Randomly during loading a savegame, or simply trying to doing somethiing, it crash without warning but sometimes with this kind of warning.[11]
Example:
Cryostasis Termination Can't upload texture: ***PATHFILE*** Size: 2048x2048 Probably your video hardware has no enough video memory. Try to set less texture quality. Script Stack Call: → uploadlevelresources loadsavegame loadlastsave server_work_pfire server_work_player
***PATHFILE*** is something like levels\materials\transp_frost\frost_n.tga, characters\creatures\jailer02\jailer02_n.tga, weapon\mosinnagan9130\mosin_optic_n.tga and many others, in a random way, as sometimes when reaching a point it happens, but the next time doesn't. The Script Stack Call section sometimes appear, sometimes doesn't.
Patch Cryostasis.exe to use 4 GB on Windows 64 bits[12] |
---|
|
Lower the quality video settings[13] |
---|
|
Random "Effect::Load() failed. ***.fxo File not found" crashes during gameplay
Random crashes (sometimes happen, sometimes doesn't) with the next template:
Effect::Load() failed. ***.fxo File not found Script Stack Call: ... ...
The ***.fxo filenames are like blur_00.fxo, optic_glass_00.fxo, screen_00.fxo, refract_screen_00.fxo, energy_noise_00.fxo, etc. The Script Stack Call section doesn't show every time.
Don't change the Shader Model during a playthrough[14] |
---|
If you change the Shader Model version in settings, you need to start a new game, although the game allows you to do continue the game with old saves. Older saves created with a different Shader Model setting can carry the old Shader Model setting and create a conflict in random parts of the game. |
Permanent blury vision
- In Chapter 14 "Poison" after doing one of the Mental Echoes, the game will have permanently blury vision, even after reaching the next level.
Disable the various blur effects/water reflection/caustic and trigger the Mental Echo with a melee weapon equipped. |
---|
In Chapter 4 framerate drops to extremely low values
- In Chapter 4 "Storm" while doing one of the Mental Echoes, if Advanced PhysX effects setting is On the framerate can drop to unplayable values.
Set Advanced PhysX effects to Off in video settings. |
---|
(Alternative) Turn off the water PhysX effects via config |
---|
|
- Аfter the end of this Mental Echo, you can turn it back on.
Crash with "Could not create fluid. Probably Invalid fluid parameters" error
- In Chapter 14 "Poison" while doing one of the Mental Echoes, if Advanced PhysX effects setting is On, the game will crash at the moment when the glacier collides with the starboard side of the ship.
- In Chapter 17 "Chronos " If the battle with Chronos lasts too long and Advanced PhysX effects setting is On, the game can crash.
Set Advanced PhysX effects to Off in video settings. |
---|
(Alternative) Turn off the water PhysX effects via config |
---|
|
- Аfter completion this Mental Echo, you can turn it back on.
