Essential improvements
Patches
- The latest game version for Crysis is 1.2.1 (Mirror).[4] It requires patch 1.2 (Mirror) first. The patches are for the retail version only.

Field of view (FOV)

Anisotropic filtering (AF)
- Crysis by default disables AF because the engine as-is does not support using AF with parallax occlusion mapping (POM). This mod allows the engine to use AF and POM at the same time.

Issues fixed
- TweakGuides has created a comprehensive guide for fixing issues in this game. It can be found here.
- If the game crashes while changing graphical or controller options, try disabling antivirus software. With AVG or Norton 360, this is most likely the cause of the crashing. In AVG it is possible to add an exception by going to Advanced Options > Add Exception then navigate to
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Crysis\
and add the exception this will fix the problem without having to disable the antivirus software.
Hangs on startup
Run the 64-bit version of the game[citation needed] |
---|
|
Stop antivirus services or add the game to its exceptions[17] |
---|
Steam
- The game ships without 64-bit binaries on Steam, but the Crysis Warhead files can be used on it.[18]
Use 64-bit executable from Crysis Warhead |
---|
Notes
|
Game crashes on machines with AMD CPUs
Replace CrySystem.dll with fixed one (32-bit)[19] |
---|
|
Alternatively - Run the 64-bit version of the game[20] |

Game uses incorrect refresh rate
- Crysis 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 heavy screen tearing or stuttering even if the frame rate is high.
Play the game with the -dx9 command line argument[21]
|
---|
Run the game in windowed or borderless fullscreen mode, in which case the game will use the desktop refresh rate.[22] |
---|
Use CrysisFix[citation needed] |
---|
Crash to desktop when using MSI Afterburner's On Screen Display
Config file edit[23] |
---|
|
Poor performance on the Ascension level
Install the Ascension Performance Fix from Mod DB[citation needed] |
---|
|
Crash when saving, loading or starting a level
{{Fixbox|description=Lower the graphics settings or resolution.|ref=[citation needed]
Low performance (Linux)
Steam Play/Proton
- By default Proton will use ESync to synchronize game threads. This does not work well with Crysis Warhead.
Disable ESync[24] |
---|
Add as a Launch option |
Lutris/Wine
- By default Lutris Wine builds will use ESync to synchronize game threads. This does not work well with Crysis Warhead.
Disable ESync[citation needed] |

Enhanced Edition
- This mod aims to improve the game's visuals, while maintaining the style of the original.
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.
Weapon carry limit
- By default, it is possible to carry two guns in the assault category.
Disable the limitation[26] |
---|
|
Disappearing bodies
- By default dead enemies disappear after a short delay.
Increase the delay[27] |
---|
|
Run in DirectX 9
- Running in DirectX 9 resolves issues with letterboxing or windowboxing if game is run in smaller than native resolution.
- Performance varies; older cards, especially AMD, run significantly faster but newer cards (both AMD and Nvidia) run slightly slower in DirectX 9.
