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 Documents/My Games/Crysis and add the exception this will fix the problem without having to disable your anti-virus.

Console commands
The console can be opened with ~, but available commands are very limited. This limitation can be bypassed by con_restricted=0 command and/or by adding -devmode to the game shortcut. A thorough list of console commands can be found here.
Some of the more useful commands include:
r_displayinfo 1to display FPS
To save re-entering console commands for FOV for example upon every startup, create <path-to-game>\system.cfg and place your console commands in that file. The commands need to be slightly different in this file, for example to change FOV you need to put cl_fov=xx rather than cl_fov xx and the command for enabling anisotropic filtering would be r_TexMaxAnisotropy=xx not r_TexMaxAnisotropy xx.
