{{ii}} Steam keys may not work on [[Origin]].
 
{{++}} Steam keys will work on retail copies.
 
{{ii}} A faithful higher resolution desktop icon can be [https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1397-crysis-hi-res-icon/ downloaded from the Files section].
 
 
===Version differences===
 
{{ii}} The Special Edition contains a soundtrack CD, a concept art mini-book, and a Bonus Features disc.
 
{{ii}} The Maximum Edition contains both Crysis and Crysis Warhead.
 
{{--}} The Steam version only includes the 32-bit files, see [[#64-bit binaries|64-bit binaries]].
 
 
===Demo===
 
{{ii}} A demo is [https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/674-crysis-demo/ available].
 
 
==Essential improvements==
 
===New executables===
 
{{ii}} See the [https://github.com/ccomrade/c1-launcher c1-launcher project].
 
 
===Patches===
 
{{ii}} Latest version is [ftp://largedownloads.ea.com/pub/patches/Crysis/Crysis_Patch_1_2_1.exe 1.2.1].<ref>http://planetcrysis.gamespy.com/fullstory.php?id=151458</ref> Requires [ftp://largedownloads.ea.com/pub/patches/Crysis/Crysis_Patch_1_2.exe patch 1.2] first. Patch is only for the retail version
 
{{ii}} 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===
 
{{ii}} The [https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/257-crysis-64-bit-binaries/ 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.<ref>https://www.gog.com/forum/crysis_series/differences_from_steamorigin_versions/post8</ref>

==Issues fixed==
 
{{ii}} TweakGuides has created a comprehensive guide for fixing issues in this game. It can be found [https://tweakguides.pcgamingwiki.com/Crysis_1.html here].
 
{{ii}} 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 <code>{{p|userprofile\Documents}}\My Games\Crysis\</code> and add the exception this will fix the problem without having to disable your anti-virus.
 
 
===Hangs on startup===
 
{{Fixbox|description=[[#64-bit binaries|Run the 64-bit version of the game]]|ref={{cn|date=October 2016}}|fix=
 
If you still can't get the game working, run it in Vista SP2 compatibility mode.

===Game crashes on machines with AMD CPUs===

===Error 5024===
 
{{Fixbox|description=Exit <code>Process Explorer</code>|fix=
 
Game will not launch at all and ends up with security error 5024. You are probably running <code>Process Explorer</code> so turn it off and game will launch OK.

===No objective after destroying tanks in Recovery===
 
{{Fixbox|description=Restart mission or run to end|ref={{cn|date=October 2016}}|fix=
 
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 [http://www.abload.de/img/villagedcs0.jpg here], courtesy of Affenzahn375 from [http://crytek.4thdimension.info/forum/bugs/14368-nach-den-panzern-recovery.html#post460807 here].

===Game uses incorrect refresh rate===
 
{{--}} Crysis may set your monitor's refresh rate to its lowest supported refresh rate when in fullscreen mode, resulting in a lowered FPS when Vsync is on, and heavy screen tearing and/or stuttering even if FPS is high.
 
 
{{Fixbox|description=Override refresh rate set by game|fix=

# Open <code>d3dx.ini</code>.
 
# Change <code>;refresh_rate=60</code> to the desired value, and remove the semicolon (e.g. <code>refresh_rate=144</code>).

===Console commands===
 
The console can be opened with {{key|~}}, but the available commands are limited. This limitation can be bypassed by the <code>con_restricted=0</code> command or by adding <code>-devmode</code> to the game's shortcut. A thorough list of console commands can be found [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=113193939 here].
 
 
Instead of re-entering console commands every time the game starts, the file <code>{{p|game}}\system.cfg</code> 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 <code>cl_fov=80</code> rather than "cl_fov 80" like in the console.
 
 
===Weapon carry limit===
 
{{ii}} By default you can carry two guns in the assault category.

# Start the game in developer mode by adding <code>-devmode</code> [[Glossary:Command line arguments|command line argument]].
 
# Enable all console commands by adding <code>con_restricted 0</code> command to <code>System.cfg</code> file in the installation folder (create if the file doesn't exist).
 
# Add line <code>i_noweaponlimit=1</code>.
 
}}
 
 
===Disappearing bodies===
 
{{ii}} By default dead enemies disappear after a short delay.
 
 
{{Fixbox|description=Increase the delay|ref=<ref>https://www.cryengine.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=16223</ref>|fix=
 
# Enable all console commands by adding <code>con_restricted 0</code> command to <code>System.cfg</code> file in the installation folder (create if the file doesn't exist).
 
# Set higher <code>g_ragdollmintime=</code> value, such as <code>g_ragdollmintime=10000</code>.
 
}}
 
 
===Run in DirectX 9===
 
{{ii}} Running in DirectX 9 resolves issues with [[Wikipedia:Letterboxing (filming)#Pillarboxing and windowboxing|letterboxing or windowboxing]] if game is run in smaller than native resolution.
 
{{ii}} Performance varies; older cards, especially AMD, run significantly faster but newer cards (both AMD and Nvidia) run slightly ''slower'' in DirectX 9.
