'''''Crysis''''' is a game developed by [[Wikipedia:Crytek|Crytek]], published by Electronic Arts for Microsoft Windows, and released in November 2007. It is the first game of a trilogy. A standalone expansion pack entitled [[Crysis Warhead]] was released on September 12, 2008, and follows the events of Crysis but from a different narrative perspective. [[Crysis]], [[Crysis Warhead]] and a multiplayer expansion called [[Crysis Wars]] were re-released as a compilation pack titled Crysis Maximum Edition on May 5, 2009. At the time [[Crysis]] was released, and years thereafter, it has been praised for its milestones in graphical design (commensurate with high hardware requirements). The sequel [[Crysis 2]] was released in March of 2011, and Crysis 3 is currently in development.

Issues and Fixes

TweakGuides has created a comprehensive guide for fixing issues in this game. It can be found here.
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.

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.

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.

Improvements

Console

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.

Some of the more useful ones include:

  • r_displayinfo 1 to display FPS
