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 thes 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.

- Every automatic checkpoint save made in the game is saved as a permanent save file. There is no way to delete these files in-game, nor are they ever overwritten on subsequent playthroughs. These files can add up to several hundred megabytes worth of permanent save files if playing through the single-player campaign more than once.

Issues unresolved
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
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[6] |
---|
Extreme lag while using Nvidia graphics
- When playing Crysis 2 on an Nvidia card, there can be extreme and unexpected lag in the single-player or multiplayer campaign. This is very noticeable while navigating the menu, something that should be instantaneous and direct. If you experience this lag, try switching to windowed mode (Alt+↵ Enter). If this lag now disappears and gameplay is suddenly fast again, the solution is this:
Use display scaling[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
|
Crash to desktop at startup
- The game may freeze up and crash to the desktop without any errors.
Disable Lucid Virtu MVP 2.0[citation needed] |
---|
Run the game at screen refresh rate
- The game may cap the framerate at 24 to 60 fps (the monitor's lowest refresh rate). This can mean stuttering and lower framerate than the GPU is capable of.[7]
Override refresh rate set by game[8] |
---|
|
Run in DirectX 9[9] |
---|
Windows Defender detects malware-like activity in Crysis 2
- The game will close shortly after starting, and Windows Defender / Microsoft Security Essentials will report to have blocked activity of "VirTool:Win32/CeeInject.gen!FG" malware. However, this is a false positive.
Add the Crysis 2 folder to the exclusion list[10] |
---|
Crash to desktop when using MSI Afterburner's On Screen Display
Config file edit[11] |
---|
|
The game is capped to 100 or 64 FPS even with VSync disabled
Enable ultra low latency mode[12] |
---|
|
Apply RTSS framerate limiter[13][14] |
---|
|
Use Xbox 360 Controller Emulator[15] |
