Console can be opened with tilde key ~, but available commands are very limited. This limitation can be bypassed by con_restricted=0 command. A thorough list of console commands can be found here.

  3. Click Set Launch Options and add -dx9

Fix Retail version • Link

  2. Right click it and select Properties
  3. Find Target box and add -dx9 at the end so it look similiar to this this: 
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Crysis\Bin32\Crysis.exe" -dx9

[edit] Issues fixed

Information TweakGuides has created a comprehensive guide for fixing issues in this game. It can be found here.
Information If you are experiencing crashes while changing graphical or controller options, try disabling your Anti-Virus software, if you have AVG or Norton 360, this is most likely the cause of the crashing. In AVG you can add an exception by going to Advanced Options > Add Exception then navigate to Documents/My Games/Crysis and add the exception this will fix the problem without having to disable your anti-virus.

[edit] Crash on Fullscreen Toggle

If you get an error saying 'This program has stopped responding' after changing between fullscreen and windowed, force DX9 mode to solve the issue.

[edit] Error 5024

Game will not launch at all and ends up with security error 5024. You are probably running Process Explorer so turn it off and game will launch OK.
