Patch 32 bits Cryostasis.exe to use 4 GB on Windows 64 bits
Patch Cryostasis.exe to use 4 GB RAM in 64 bits Windows[4] |
---|
Because Cryostasis is a 32 bit program, in Windows it only can use 2 GB of memory for the game. In 64 bit systems, it also uses as 2 GB at maximum, but you can patch 32 bits EXE to use 4 GB of RAM in 64 bits systems.

Issues fixed
Noclip bug
- A common problem that is encountered after saving in certain places and then reloading from that save point is the player will suddenly start clipping through walls and be unable to progress normally.
Use console commands[citation needed] |
---|
|
"The program cannot start because PhysXLoader.dll is missing from your computer" error at launch
- It provides no error message if launched from Steam. This error only appears on direct launch.
Install PhysX legacy |
---|
Install the NVIDIA PhysX Legacy System Software. |
Advanced PhysX effects still not rendering ingame with legacy drivers
This is what I had to end up doing on my system :
1. Install legacy physx software https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/physx/physx-9-13-0604-legacy-driver/ 2. Install 'modern' physx https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/physx/physx-9-19-0218-driver/ 3. Choose your GPU as physx processor in Nvidia Control Panel. 4. Make sure you have shader model 4.0 selected and advanced effects turned on in the game's video settings
"Cryostasis Termination" error on startup
- On startup, the game crashes directly to an error message stating "Effect::Load() failed. screen_00.fxo File not found".
Change Shader version in config file[citation needed] |
---|
|
Black Screen on startup
- On startup, the game is a black screen but has audio.
Change Resolution in the config file to your native resolution[7] |

Cryostasis Termination: Can't upload texture / Random Crash
Randomly during loading a savegame, or simply trying to doing somethiing, it crash without warning but sometimes with this kind of warning. [8]
Example:
Cryostasis Termination Can't upload texture: ***PATHFILE*** Size: 2048x2048 Probably your video hardware has no enough video memory. Try to set less texture quality. Script Stack Call: → uploadlevelresources loadsavegame loadlastsave server_work_pfire server_work_player
***PATHFILE*** is something like levels\materials\transp_frost\frost_n.tga, characters\creatures\jailer02\jailer02_n.tga, weapon\mosinnagan9130\mosin_optic_n.tga and many others, in a random way, as sometimes when reaching a point it happens, but the next time doesn't. The Script Stack Call section sometimes appear, sometimes doesn't.
Patch Cryostasis.exe to use 4 GB on Windows 64 bits[9] |
---|
|
Lower the quality video settings[10] |
---|
|
Random "Effect::Load() failed. ***.fxo File not found" crashes during gameplay
Random crashes (sometimes happen, sometimes doesn't) with the next template:
Effect::Load() failed. ***.fxo File not found Script Stack Call: ... ...
The ***.fxo filenames are like blur_00.fxo, optic_glass_00.fxo, screen_00.fxo, refract_screen_00.fxo, energy_noise_00.fxo, etc. The Script Stack Call section doesn't show every time.
Don't change the Shader Model during a playthrough[11] |
---|
If you change the Shader Model version in settings, you need to start a new game, although the game allows you to do continue the game with old saves. Older saves created with a different Shader Model setting can carry the old Shader Model setting and create a conflict in random parts of the game. |
