Warnings
- For Games for Windows - LIVE on Windows 8 or later, install the latest Games for Windows - LIVE software.
Crysis is a singleplayer and multiplayer first-person action, FPS and shooter game in the Crysis series.
Key points
- Very taxing, even on modern computers, due to limited threading capabilities.[1]
General information
- Crysis Website
- Crysis Tweak Guide
- GOG.com Community Discussions - For the Crysis series.
- GOG.com Support Page
- Steam Community Discussions
Availability
Source | DRM | Notes | Keys | OS |
---|---|---|---|---|
Retail | SecuROM 7 DRM. Japanese versions also include Games for Windows - LIVE DRM. |
|||
GOG.com | ||||
Origin | Included with EA Play. 64-bit version can be launched and played without Origin running.[citation needed] |
|||
Steam | SecuROM 7 DRM, 50 machine limit.[2] Only still available for purchase as part of the Maximum Edition (bundled with Crysis Warhead). Included with EA Play (Steam). |
- Steam keys no longer activate the game.[3] Use c1-launcher to work around this activation problem.[4]
- Steam keys can't be activated on Origin.[5]
- Steam keys will work on retail copies.[citation needed]
- A faithful higher resolution desktop icon can be downloaded from the Files section.
Version differences
- The Special Edition contains a soundtrack CD, a concept art mini-book, and a Bonus Features disc.
- The Maximum Edition contains both Crysis and Crysis Warhead.[6]
- The Steam version only includes the 32-bit files, see 64-bit binaries.
Demo
- A demo is available.
Essential improvements
Patches
- The latest game version for Crysis is 1.2.1 (Mirror).[7] It requires patch 1.2 (Mirror) first. The patches are for the retail version only.
- Digital versions show version 1.1.1.6156, which is not a listed file version, however, it 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.
- If the Steam version is being used and the Steam overlay does not work, set the 64-bit executable to launch by default.
- The GOG.com and Origin versions ship with the 64-bit binaries.[8]
Improved executables
- c1-launcher project is an open-source replacement of the game executables. It improves over both the original 32-bit and 64-bit binaries by fixing certain issues and providing some additional features.
Launch 64-bit executable by default on Steam
- Necessary if using 64-bit binaries, improved executables, or the 64-bit executable from Crysis Warhead.
Use the "<path-to-game>\Bin64\Crysis.exe" %command% command line argument.

Field of view (FOV)
- This game uses vertical FOV. See FOV Calculator for help.

Anisotropic filtering (AF)
- Crysis disables AF by default as the engine does not support using anisotropic filtering with parallax occlusion mapping. This mod allows the engine to use AF and POM simultaneously.
Install the POM+AF mod to allow anisotropic filtering[14] |

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.
Run the game in DirectX 9[25] |
---|
Run the game in windowed or borderless fullscreen mode, in which case the game will use the desktop refresh rate.[26] |
---|
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)
Steam Play/Proton
- By default, Proton will use ESync to synchronize game threads. This does not work well with Crysis.
Disable ESync[28] |
---|
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.
Disable ESync[29] |

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.
Persistent corpses
- By default, dead enemy bodies disappear after a short amount of time.
Increase corpse persistence time[31] |
---|
|
Weapon carry limit
- By default, it is possible to carry two guns in the assault category.
Disable the limitation[32] |
---|
|
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]

- When starting the game, it asks for an activation key that is already pre-entered by the game (one that is used by Steam.) When trying to activate it (pressing 'Done) it keeps asking the user to re-enter the key whatever you do. Even adding "-" between every 4 characters doesn't fix this. This results in the game refusing to start.

- When entering Steam key on Origin, it will first recognize that it belongs to Crysis, then will let you choose a language version. But regardless of language version that is chosen, when pressing Next, it will result in an error that the key is invalid.
