- A demo is available.
- A faithful higher resolution desktop icon can be downloaded from the Files section.
Version differences
- The Maximum Edition contains both Crysis and Crysis Warhead.
- The Steam version only includes the 32 bit files, see 64-bit binaries.
Essential improvements
New executables
- See the c1-launcher project.
Patches
- Latest version is 1.2.1.[3] Requires patch 1.2 first. Patch is only for the retail version
- Error "1642" is given when attempting to run the patch (Origin Version). Game also reports as being File version 1.1.1.6156, which is not a listed file version, however, File version 1.1.1.6156 is equivalent to that of Patch 1.21.
64-bit binaries
- The 64-bit binaries allow the game to run as a native 64-bit application, but it does not necessarily improve performance. Some users report a more unstable framerate and more frequent stuttering running the game with the 64-bit .exe.
- The GOG.com version ships with the 64-bit binaries.[4]
- If the Steam version is being used and the Steam overlay does not work, follow this guide.

Turn off aim toggle
Modify config files[11]
|
- Open the following file in a text editor:
C:\Users\%username%\Documents\My Games\Crysis\Profiles\default\actionmaps.xml
- Here you'll need to change two values.
- Find the
zoom action. Replace mouse2 with a key you don't need.
<action name="zoom" onPress="1" onRelease="1">
<key name="mouse2"/> - change mouse2 to 9 or something else that's out of the way.
- Next up, navigate to the
xi_zoom action. Put the mouse2 key here.
<action name="xi_zoom" onPress="1" onRelease="1">
<key name="mouse2"/>
- All done here, save your changes. Make a backup first if you want to.
- Finally, create a file named
autoexec.cfg in the Crysis\Game\Config path.
- Add the following lines to it:
con_restricted=0
hud_ctrlzoommode=1
- Save the file, and you're all done.
|
Toggle crouch
Use console[citation needed]
|
- Open the console (~).
- Enter
con_restricted=0 to enable all console commands.
- Enter
cl_crouchToggle x where X is 1 to enable crouch toggle or 0 to disable it again.
|
Edit/Replace ActionMaps.xml[citation needed]
|
- Go to
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Crysis\Profiles\default\
- Delete/back up
actionmaps.xml from this folder.
- Download the following updated controller profile, complete with trigger aiming. (h/t to Steam user Fat Ninja Walrus) http://www.mediafire.com/file/ej2gy1ho2r7m067/actionmaps.xml/file
- Paste this file into the Documents location above, replacing the previous actionmaps file.
This scheme massively improves pad play, and utilizes a control scheme closer to Crysis 2 and 3.

Use DSOAL with modifications to System.cfg [13]
|
- Extract DSOAL to
<path-to-game>\Bin32 and configure as desired.
- Open
<path-to-game>\System.cfg in a text editor (create it if it doesn't already exist; it should be a plain text file).
- Copy and paste these commands into the file:
con_restricted=0

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.
Hangs on startup
Game crashes on machines with AMD CPUs
Replace CrySystem.dll with fixed one (32-bit)[14]
|
- Download a fixed CrySystem.dll and extract it.
- Move it to
<path-to-game>\Bin32\ and override existing one.
- It should make the game use SSE/MMX code paths instead of now deprecated "3D Now!" instruction paths.

Crash on Fullscreen Toggle

Config file edit[16]
|
- Open the MSI On-Screen Display Server program (RivaTuner Statistics Server).
- Click the plus sign (or newly "add" button) and navigate to where you installed Crysis and add Crysis.exe
- Once you have that added go to
C:\Program Files (x86)\RivaTuner Statistics Server\Profiles
- Edit
Crysis.exe.cfg
- Change
EnableDynamicOffsetDetection=0 to EnableDynamicOffsetDetection=1
- Change
HookDirectDraw=0 to HookDirectDraw=1

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.

Game uses incorrect 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.
Override refresh rate set by game
|
- Download 3Dmigoto.
- Copy the files in the
x32 folder to <path-to-game>\bin32\ if you run 32-bit version of the game. For 64-bit version, copy files in the x64 folder to <path-to-game>\bin64\ .
- Open
d3dx.ini .
- Change
;refresh_rate=60 to the desired value, and remove the semicolon (e.g. refresh_rate=144 ).
- Change
hunting=1 to ;hunting=1 by adding a semicolon.
- Save the changes and close the file.
|
Run the game in windowed or borderless fullscreen mode, in which case the game will use your desktop refresh rate[18]

Middleware
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[20]
|
- 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[21]
|
- 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.
