Anisotropic filtering (AF)
- Crysis: Warhead by default disables AF because the engine as-is does not support using AF with parallax occlusion mapping (POM). This mod allows the engine to use AF and POM at the same time.
Install the POM+AF mod to allow anisotropic filtering[citation needed] |

Issues fixed
- TweakGuides has created a comprehensive guide for fixing issues in this game. It can be found here.
Hangs on startup
Run the 64-bit version of the game[citation needed] |
---|
If you still can't get the game working, run it in Vista SP2 compatibility mode. |
Stop your antivirus or add the game to its exceptions[7] |
---|
Game crashes on machines with AMD CPUs
Replace CrySystem.dll with fixed one (32-bit)[8] |
---|
|
Alternatively - Run the 64-bit version of the game[8] |
---|
If 64-bit version also crashes, run it in Vista SP2 compatibility mode. |
Remapping dual wielding secondary fire to other keys
By default, mouse2 (mouse right click) is permanently mapped to the dual wielding secondary fire command, regardless of what mouse2 is actually mapped to in-game. The only way to remap the command is to manually edit the profile key map file.
Remapping the dual wielding secondary fire command[citation needed] |
---|
|
Game uses incorrect refresh rate
- The game may set your monitor's refresh rate to its lowest supported refresh rate when in fullscreen mode, resulting in a lowered FPS when Vsync is on, and heavy screen tearing and/or stuttering even if FPS is high.
Use Crysis Warhead refresh rate fix[9] |
---|
|
Crash to desktop when using MSI Afterburner's On Screen Display
Config file edit[10] |
---|
|
Crash when saving or loading
Lower your graphics settings / resolution. |
---|
Low performance (Linux)
Steam Play / Proton
- By default Proton will use ESync to synchronize game threads. This does not work well with Crysis Warhead.
Disable ESync[11] |
---|
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 Warhead.
Disable ESync |

API
Technical specs | Supported | Notes |
---|---|---|
Direct3D | 9, 10 | DX10 by default. Use -dx9 parameter to change API. |
Shader Model support | 3, 4 |
Executable | 32-bit | 64-bit | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Windows | 64-bit executable can be found under <path-to-game>\Bin64 . |
Middleware
Middleware | Notes | |
---|---|---|
Audio | FMOD | |
Multiplayer | GameSpy | Use Crysis Wars Multiplayer Mod[citation needed] to replace the discontinued GameSpy services. |
Anti-cheat | PunkBuster |
Console commands
The console can be opened with ~, 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.
Instead of re-entering console commands every time the game starts, the file <path-to-game>\system.cfg
can be created 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 you would use cl_fov=80
rather than "cl_fov 80" like in the console.
Persistent corpses
- By default dead enemies disappear after a short delay.
Increase the delay[12] |
