Essential improvements

Patches

The latest game version for Crysis is 1.2.1 (Mirror).[6] It requires patch 1.2 (Mirror) first. The patches are for the retail version only.
Digital versions display version 1.1.1.6156 at the main menu, which is not a listed file version, however, it is equivalent to that of patch 1.21.

Game opens with black screen, then crashes to desktop

On some modern systems, the 64-bit version of the game suffers from a bug where it will shortly launch to a black screen and then crashes back to the desktop.[8]
Apply Windows 8 compatibility mode to <path-to-game>/Bin64/Crysis64.exe[9]
Use the improved executables
Doesn't require enabling compatibility mode to avoid crashes on startup.

Launch 64-bit executable by default

The 32-bit version will launch by default on all storefronts.
Steam: select the second launch option[10]
This option was added in the January 3, 2023 update of the Steam version.[11]
  1. Launch Crysis through Steam.
  2. The Select launch option (2) Steam window launches, choose the second blank option.[12]
  3. Check the Always use this option checkbox and press "Play". From now on the 64-bit version will launch by default.
Steam: use the "<path-to-game>\Bin64\Crysis.exe" %command% command line argument[13]
Origin: replace folders[14]
  1. Delete or rename <path-to-game>/Bin32.
  2. Rename <path-to-game>/Bin64 to Bin32.

Steam version: game launches without the main menu UI showing up

By default, when you try to run a non-English version of the game in Steam, you will not see the main menu UI and only the animating background. This is due to a missing Default.lng. This issue was introduced seemingly through the January 3, 2023 update to the Steam version.
Rename language file of desired language to Default.lng[15]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\Game\Localized.
  2. Find the <Language>.lng file and rename it to Default.lng (for example English.lng to Default.lng).

Improve Crysis Ascension level performance

Install Ascension Performance fix[citation needed]
Improves performance on the notoriously performance-heavy Ascension level by reducing the density of some particle effects, while attempting to keep the resulting visual difference to a minimum.[16]
  1. Download Ascension Performance Fix.
  2. Extract it to <path-to-game>/Game

    s_reverbtype = 1
    
  5. Save the file and launch the game.

Notes

Windows 10 users additionally might have to tweak a registry setting as described in this guide for DSOAL to work.

Localizations

Korean soldiers speak Korean on the hardest difficulty (Delta), whereas they speak the same language as all other characters on all other difficulties. When the console is unrestricted, it is possible to have them speak Korean on lower difficulties by setting ai_UseAlternativeReadability to 0.[27]
To change the language in the GOG version, use the language_setup.exe tool located in <path-to-game>.[28]
Language files (.pak) of unrequired languages can be deleted in <path-to-game>\Game\localized to save disk space.

Issues fixed

Crashes on systems with AMD CPUs

Replace CrySystem.dll with a fixed version[29]
Forces the game to use SSE/MMX code paths instead of the deprecated 3D Now! instruction paths.[citation needed]
  1. Download the fixed CrySystem.dll (32-bit version) and CrySystem.dll (64-bit version).
  2. Extract the archives into <path-to-game>\Bin32 (32-bit version) and <path-to-game>\Bin64 (64-bit version) and override the existing file.

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 there will be no mission objectives after destroying the two tanks and Psycho and the hostage just hang out in the school building. If that happens, restarting the mission may solve it. Alternatively, manually proceeding to the end of the area and finishing the level can also be done.
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 there should be other waterfalls that have to be jumped up, also there will be several big groups of enemies on the way, so be careful. By following the river yet another waterfall will finally come, which has a large cave to the right of it and should be unmissable. Going into that cave triggers the end of the level.

The way to walk is illustrated here, courtesy of Affenzahn375 from here.

Game uses incorrect refresh rate

The game 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 screen tearing or stuttering even if the frame rate is high.
The most reliable and stable solution is to create a custom resolution a bit smaller than your default in your graphics card control panel. This guide contains detailed instructions ("24 Hz lock" section).[30]
Run the game in DirectX 9[31]
Run the game in windowed or borderless fullscreen mode, in which case the game will use the desktop refresh rate.[32]
Use the improved executables.[citation needed]

Crashes when saving, loading, or starting a level

Lower the graphics settings or resolution.[citation needed]

Low performance (Linux)

By default, Proton and Lutris/Wine will use ESync to synchronize game threads. This does not work well with Crysis.
Steam Play/Proton: disable ESync[33]

Add as a Launch option PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%.

Lutris/Wine: disable ESync[33]
  1. Open up the game configuration dialog.
  2. Navigate to Runner Options.
  3. Turn Enable Esync to off.

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.
This won't work on many non-English keyboard layouts.
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.

Improved executables

c1-launcher project is an open-source replacement of the 32-bit and 64-bit game executables. Fixes several startup issues, including a crash of 32-bit Crysis on AMD CPU systems, while fixing several other bugs and adding several features.
Install c1-launcher executables[35]
Supports all versions of the game.
  1. Download Download c1-launcher.
  2. Extract the archive into <path-to-game>, overwrite files when prompted to.

Persistent corpses

By default, dead enemy bodies disappear after a short amount of time.
Increase corpse persistence time[36]
  1. Enable all console commands by adding con_restricted = 0 command to System.cfg in <path-to-game>.
  2. Set a high g_ragdollmintime value, such as g_ragdollmintime = 10000.

Weapon carry limit

By default, it is possible to carry two guns in the assault category.
Disable the limitation[37]
  1. Start the game in developer mode by adding -devmode command line argument.
  2. Enable all console commands by adding con_restricted = 0 command to System.cfg in <path-to-game>.
  3. Add line i_noweaponlimit = 1.

Run in DirectX 9

Running in DirectX 9 resolves issues with letterboxing or windowboxing if game is run in smaller than native resolution.
Performance may vary. Older cards, especially AMD, run significantly faster but newer cards (both AMD and Nvidia) might run slightly slower in DirectX 9.
Use the -dx9 command line argument[citation needed]

    Applying this compatibility mode on the Crysis64.exe executable is the only thing that fixes this, applying it to the 64-bit Crysis.exe does nothing to fix this issue. Btw, Windows 7 and Vista Service Pack 2 compatibility modes also work, but think it is better to advice the newest one.
