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). |

- 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 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.

ai_UseAlternativeReadability
to0
.[20] - To change the language in the GOG version, use the
language_setup.exe
tool located in <path-to-game>.[21]

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] |
---|
Crash to desktop when using MSI Afterburner's On Screen Display
Config file edit[27] |
---|
|
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]
|

Mods
Enhanced Edition
- This mod aims to improve the game's visuals while maintaining the style of the original.
HD Textures 2018
- This mod aims to improve the game's textures while staying as true to the original as possible, by using higher quality assets from newer version of CryEngine and Crysis 3: The Lost Island.
Maximum Immersion
- This mod aims to get the best out of the graphics of original game while making it as natural as possible.

- 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.
