Issues unresolved
Multiplayer crash at 99% loading
Issues fixed
FPS issues on AMD cards
- Games based on CryEngine may have observable decreased in performance with AMD GPUs on Windows 10 compared to Windows 7.[8]
- Since the version 2004 of Windows 10, timer resolution can't be changed system-wide, thus the workaround below may not work, refer here.
- Vega series GPUs may perform worse than the RX series GPUs on Windows 10 in CryEngine games, in comparison to Windows 7.[9] This is likely a driver issue, however. So updating graphics driver may fix the issue.
Adjust timer resolution with TimerTool[citation needed] |
---|
|
Memory allocation error on low-memory system
- The game needs at least 600 MB, and up to 700 MB of free memory for the game to load between levels properly, even on Low Details settings. Otherwise, the game will show an error. On system with only 2 GB of memory and running Windows Vista or later; this may not be avoidable.
- Possible workaround includes using ReadyBoost with twice the memory size or increase the virtual memory size. The latter, however, is not recommended for Windows 8 or later unless.

Stuck installation
Reboot Origin into safe mode[11] |

|
Hacking finishes with no result
- There is a problem with in-game hacking mechanics, where successful hacking will end in no expected result. Example: hacking tutorial will not end; door will not open shortly after single player campaign starts.
Unbind F key[citation needed] |
---|
There seems to be problem with binding F key. Keep F key unbound or bind it to USE action. |
Game crashes
PlayerProfiles CGameContext::StartGame: No Users Logged In[citation needed] |
---|
The game may crash with the above error message when launching a campaign mission. Launch |
Frame rate capped at 100 or 64 FPS, even with V-Sync disabled
- Updates to Windows 10 have resulted in incompatibility with older CryEngine games, which may result in a capped frame rate. Windows 7 is also affected, but only in menus (eg. pause menu). Enabling NULL appears to have no effect under Windows 7.[13]
Set Low Latency Mode to Ultra[14] |
---|
|
Set max frame rate to 1000 in Nvidia control panel[15] |
---|
|
Apply RTSS framerate limiter[16][17] |

Missing voices in cutscenes of non-English versions
In some non-English game versions, the file Crysis 3\C3\videos2.pak
is bugged, leading to missing voice acting during cutscenes.[18][19] Many users reported getting the bug since a patch.[19][20][21][22][23][24][25] The reason is maybe a patch that month which "cleaned up" the audio files but was bugged and never fixed.[26][27]
Fixes are available for the following language versions:
- Russian and Polish: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2460169415 (an old fix for Russian can also be found here)
- English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Turkish: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1282690/discussions/0/3266808619812163094
