Crysis Remastered is a singleplayer FPS developed by Crytek and Saber Interactive. It is a remaster of the original Crysis based on the console versions of the game from 2011, rather than the original PC release from 2007.[2] It is also the first release in the series that is not published by Electronic Arts, instead being self-published by Crytek.

The game uses Crytek's CryEngine, a standard for the series, with new features such as hardware ray tracing, higher resolution textures, improved particle effects and global illumination.[3] A future-proof "Can It Run Crysis" graphics preset is also present, making reference to a phrase that became popular around the original 2007 release because of its highly demanding nature on PC hardware at the time.[4]

Crysis Remastered released on September 18, 2020 for Windows exclusively on the Epic Games Store. It was originally set to release on July 23, 2020, but was delayed to allow for further improvement due to negative online feedback following the leak of a gameplay trailer.[5]

As the remaster is based on the console port of Crysis, it lacks some features of the original PC release, such as the level "Ascension" and the entirety of the game's multiplayer.[2][6] A number of control options including leaning, suit shortcuts and manual saving are also missing[7][8] but can be partially restored using a modified control configuration.

Field of view (FOV)

This game uses vertical FOV. See FOV Calculator for help.
Edit configuration files[12]
  1. Create autoexec.cfg file in the installation folder with a text editor.
  2. Add lines con_restricted=0 (if not existing) and cl_fov= followed by a desired FOV value.

Depth of field

Disable depth of field[13]
  1. Create autoexec.cfg file in the installation folder with a text editor.
  2. Add lines con_restricted=0 (if not existing) and r_depthoffield=0.

Input

Restore controls from the original version

Use the control fix[14]
This fix re-enables some of the controls, leaning and classic weapon selection, from the original Crysis.
This fix conflicts with the default key bindings, disables the weapon wheel and leaning isn't reflected in the player shadow.
  1. Extract the Libs folder from the archive to <path-to-game>\Game\.
    • To optionally restore the original binding for fists to 1 alongside pistols, rather than on 5 by itself, extract the Scripts folder from the archive to <path-to-game>\Game\.
  2. Open the game, rebind "Fire Mode", and either enable "Classic Nanosuit Mode" or rebind the "Armor Mode" and "Cloak Mode" controls.

Issues unresolved

Display settings reset on launch

The game may reset the display resolution to the native monitor resolution and the antialiasing settings to SMAA 1TX on launch.[16]

Issues fixed

Low performance with CPU and GPU usage below 100%

Due to a conflict with Windows 10 v2004, CryEngine games may sometimes run at a low framerate despite not using all available system resources or cap the framerate below the monitor refresh rate.[17][18][19]
Change Vsync in the graphics card control panel[17][20]
  1. Add "Crysis Remastered" to the graphics card control panel if the profile does not exist already.
  2. Change the profile's Vsync setting
    • For Nvidia, change the Vsync setting to Fast and apply.
    • For AMD, enable Radeon Enhanced Sync and apply.

    A pinned comment in the official Crysis Discord server
    "it's because of the new windows 2004 update. it seems like it kinda broke all pre cryengine 5 games. it limits them to around 60fps. for nvidia gpu's, you need to go to your nvidia control panel, and manage 3d settings, and under program settings, find whichever crysis you're playing and set vsync to fast."
