Warnings
Crysis Warhead is a singleplayer and multiplayer first-person action, FPS and shooter game in the Crysis series.
In a full installation, Crysis Warhead is the singleplayer campaign, while Crysis Wars is the multiplayer portion of the game.
Like the original, the game is very taxing, even on modern computers, due to limited threading capabilities.[1]

Remapping dual wielding secondary fire to other keys
- By default, mouse2 (mouse right-click) is permanently mapped to the dual wielding secondary fire command regardless of what mouse2 is actually mapped to in-game, the only way to remap the command being manually editing the profile key map file.

Game uses incorrect refresh rate
- The game may set the monitor's refresh rate to its lowest supported refresh rate when in fullscreen mode, resulting in a lowered frame rate when Vsync is on, and screen tearing or stuttering even if the frame rate is high.
Use Crysis Warhead refresh rate fix[14] |

Low performance (Linux)
- By default, Proton and Lutris/Wine will use ESync to synchronize game threads. This does not work well with Crysis.
Steam Play/Proton: disable ESync[17] |

Console commands
- The console can be opened with the tilde (~) key, but the available commands are limited. This limitation can be bypassed by the
con_restricted = 0
command or by adding-devmode
to the game's shortcut. A thorough list of console commands can be found here. - Instead of re-entering console commands every time the game starts, a
System.cfg
file can be created in <path-to-game> to apply console commands automatically. The commands need to be formatted differently in the file, using an equal sign instead of a space. For example, to change the FOV to 80,cl_fov = 80
has to be used rather than "cl_fov 80" like in the console.
Persistent corpses
- By default, dead enemy bodies disappear after a short amount of time.
Increase corpse persistence time[19] |

Weapon carry limit
- By default, it is possible to carry two guns in the assault category.
Disable the limitation[20] |
