- Requirements
- 64-bit operating system
- DirectX 9-compatible graphics card with 768 MB Video Memory
NTCore 4GB Patch
- Crysis 2 is very memory intensive. This app improves performance for Crysis 2 on 64-bit Windows systems with more than 2GB RAM by allowing it to access up to 4GB RAM.
At least included in the Maximum Edition by default.
Modifications
BlackFire's Mod 2 and MaLDo HD Textures
For those who truly want to push Crysis 2's graphical fidelity to its limits, BlackFire's Mod 2 and MaLDo HD serves their needs. Note that BlackFire's Mod 2 require the MaLDo HD mod to be installed and properly configured, on the other hand the MaLDo HD mod can be used alone as it's meant to improve the vanilla game with higher quality textures, model and bugfixes, a variety of game tweaks etc.
A step by step list of instructions for BlackFire's mod is available at the mod file's description on ModDB.
Most of the download links for the MaLDo HD mod on the original blog page are dead. The files can be found elsewhere though, e.g. over at Mod DB and over at gamepressure.

Advanced movement and controls
There are a number of advanced control options that are not taught in the game's tutorial.[5] These include:
- Hold the sprint button (default ⇧ Shift) while aiming down sights to stabilize your aim (costs suit energy).[6][5]
- Activating armor mode (default Q) while aiming with a gun allows you to zoom in further.
- Hold the melee button (default V) for a stronger melee attack (that uses up all suit energy).[6]
- You can also use normal and heavy melee attacks while gliding (sprint + crouch), which leads to a kick.
- De-cloak just before firing a weapon, because firing from stealth would drain your energy.

Statistic screen
The statistic-screen in the menu displays that 13 weapon-attachments are findable in single-player but in fact there are only 12. Therefore, it is not possible to achieve "100%".
Issues fixed
Crash at startup due to Windows Defender
Crysis 2 may crash at startup without a message due to Windows defender finding the game's process suspicious.[9]
Add game's executable to exceptions[10] |

High sensitivity when using assault scope
- When aiming down sights with assault scope mounted on any weapon, the sensitivity will be a lot higher than the one set in the game settings.
Use this mod[11] |
---|
Run the game at screen refresh rate
- The game may set your monitor's refresh rate to its lowest supported refresh rate when in fullscreen mode, resulting in a lowered FPS when Vsync is on, and heavy screen tearing and/or stuttering even if FPS is high. This issue is separate from the issue capping the frame rate (see The game is capped at 64 FPS), which may also need to be addressed.[12]
Override refresh rate set by game[13] |

Run in DirectX 9[14] |

Use Borderless Gaming |

Crash to desktop when using MSI Afterburner's On Screen Display
Config file edit[15] |

Frame rate capped at 100 or 64 FPS, even with V-Sync disabled
- Updates to Windows 10 have resulted in incompatibility with older CryEngine games, which may result in a capped frame rate. Windows 7 is also affected, but only in menus (eg. pause menu). Enabling NULL appears to have no effect under Windows 7.[16]
Set Low Latency Mode to Ultra[17] |

Set max frame rate to 1000 in Nvidia control panel[18] |

Apply RTSS framerate limiter[19][20] |
