Issues fixed
- 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
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Crysis\
and add the exception this will fix the problem without having to disable your anti-virus.

Error 5024
Exit Process Explorer
|
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.

No objective after destroying tanks in Recovery
Restart mission or run to end[citation needed]
|
In the mission "Recovery", there's a rather common bug where you'll get no objectives after destroying the two tanks and Psycho and the hostage just hang out in the school building. If that happens, you can restart the mission. If that doesn't fix it or if you rather don't, you can manually proceed to the end of the area and finish the level, it isn't too long anymore and you should not miss out on vital bits.
To do so, run to the south east of the village. There should be a waterfall. Use the strength augumentation to scale it and follow the river on top (also seen on the map) to the very end. It will be a rather long walk and you'll come across other waterfalls that you have to jump up, also there will be several big groups of enemies on the way, so be careful. Just always follow the river and you will finally come to yet another waterfall, which has a large cave to the right of it (you can't miss it). Going into that cave triggers the end of the level and you'll proceed to the next mission where everything will work as usual.
The way to walk is illustrated here, courtesy of Affenzahn375 from here.

Run the game at screen refresh rate
- Crysis may set your monitor's refresh rate to its lowest supported refresh rate, resulting in a lowered FPS when Vsync is on, and heavy screen stuttering even if FPS is high.
Create an arbitrary custom resolution in Nvidia Control Panel (i.e. 1921 x 1080) and set the game at that resolution.
|
Run the game in borderless fullscreen mode, in which case the game will use your desktop refresh rate.
|
Game is shifted to the right on the screen/runs in 59Hz mode/wrong refresh rate
Change refresh rate - automate with QRes[citation needed]
|
You can change your refresh rate manually each time you open and close the game.
OR
You can automate this with QRes:
- Download QRes from Softpedia or Software.Informer
- Extract QRes.exe into the Crysis Bin64 or Bin32 folder depending on whether you're using the 64-bit or 32-bit executable
- Open Notepad
- Copy and paste:
@echo off
qres.exe /r:59
timeout /t 10 > NUL
start crysis.exe
timeout /t 60 > NUL
:_loop
tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq crysis64.exe" | findstr = > NUL || goto _cleanup
timeout /t 5 > NUL
goto _loop
:_cleanup
qres.exe /r:60
- Go to File and then Save As...
- Name it Crysis.bat, and then change Save as type from .txt to All Files
- Save into the same Bin64 or Bin32 folder
- Right-click Crysis.bat and click Create shortcut
- Move this shortcut to wherever is easiest, say the desktop, replacing the original shortcut
- Right-click the shortcut, click Properties, click Change icon, click Browse, navigate to the same Bin64 or Bin32 folder, select Crysis.exe, and click OK twice
- When you run this using the new shortcut, your screen will flash off and on again, shifted to one side. Press the Auto button or equivalent on your monitor to realign the screen before the game starts
- When you exit the game, wait a few seconds, the screen will flash again, the command window will close, and you can press the Auto again

Console commands
The console can be opened with ~, 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, the file <path-to-game>\system.cfg
can be created 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 you would use cl_fov=80
rather than "cl_fov 80" like in the console.
Weapon carry limit
- By default you can carry two guns in the assault category.
Disable the limitation[10]
|
- Start the game in developer mode by adding
-devmode command line argument.
- Enable all console commands by adding
con_restricted 0 command to System.cfg file in the installation folder (create if the file doesn't exist).
- Add line
i_noweaponlimit=1 .
|
Disappearing bodies
- By default dead enemies disappear after a short delay.
Increase the delay[11]
|
- Enable all console commands by adding
con_restricted 0 command to System.cfg file in the installation folder (create if the file doesn't exist).
- Set higher
g_ragdollmintime= value, such as g_ragdollmintime=10000 .
|
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.
