Unfortunately, games have flaws: stutters, low FPS, crashes, freezes, bugs and other minor and not so minor errors. Often problems begin even before the game starts, when it does not install, does not load, or does not even download. And the computer itself sometimes does weird things, and then in Crysis there’s a black screen instead of a picture, the controls don’t work, you can’t hear the sound or anything else.

What to do first

1. Download and run the world famous CCleaner(download via direct link) - this is a program that will clean your computer of unnecessary garbage, as a result of which the system will work faster after the first reboot;
2. Update all drivers on the system using the program Driver Updater (download via direct link) - it will scan your computer and update all drivers to the latest version in 5 minutes;
3. Install the program WinOptimizer(download via direct link) and include it in it Game Mode, which will end useless background processes while running games and improve in-game performance.

The second thing to do if you have any problems with Crysis is to check the system requirements. In a good way, you need to do this before purchasing, so as not to regret the money spent.

Minimum system requirements for Crysis:

Windows XP, Pentium 4, 1 Gb RAM, 12 Gb HDD, nVidia GeForce 6800 256 Mb

Every gamer should have at least a little understanding of components, know why a video card, processor and other things are needed system unit.

Files, drivers and libraries

Almost every device in a computer requires a set of special software. These are drivers, libraries and other files that provide correct work computer.

You should start with the drivers for your video card. Modern graphic cards are produced only by two large companies - Nvidia and AMD. Having found out which product drives the coolers in the system unit, we go to the official website and download the latest driver package:

A prerequisite for the successful operation of Crysis is the availability of the latest drivers for all devices in the system. Download the utility Driver Updater to download easily and quickly latest versions drivers and install them with one click:

If Crysis does not start, we recommend that you try disabling your antivirus or putting the game in antivirus exceptions, and also check compliance again system requirements and if something from your assembly does not correspond, then, if possible, improve your PC by purchasing more powerful components.

In Crysis, black screen, white screen, color screen. Solution

Problems with screens of different colors can be divided into 2 categories.

Firstly, they often involve using two video cards at once. For example, if your motherboard has a built-in video card, but you play on a discrete one, then Crysis may launch for the first time on the built-in one, but you won’t see the game itself, because the monitor is connected to a discrete video card.

Secondly, color screens occur when there are problems with displaying images on the screen. This can happen for various reasons. For example, Crysis cannot work through an outdated driver or does not support the video card. Also black/ White screen may be displayed when running at resolutions that are not supported by the game.

Crysis crashes. At a specific or random moment. Solution

You play for yourself, play and then - bam! - everything goes out, and now you have a desktop in front of you without any hint of a game. Why is this happening? To solve the problem, you should try to figure out what the nature of the problem is.

If a crash occurs at a random moment in time without any pattern, then with a 99% probability we can say that this is a bug of the game itself. In this case, it is very difficult to fix something, and the best thing to do is just put Crysis aside and wait for the patch.

However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a crash.

However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a crash. In addition, you can download the Crysis save and bypass the departure location.

Crysis freezes. The picture freezes. Solution

The situation is approximately the same as with crashes: many freezes are directly related to the game itself, or rather to the developer’s mistake when creating it. However, often a frozen picture can become a starting point for investigating the deplorable state of a video card or processor.

So if the picture freezes in Crysis, then use programs to display statistics on component loading. Perhaps your video card has long exhausted its working life or the processor is heating up to dangerous temperatures?

The easiest way to check the load and temperatures for the video card and processors is in the MSI Afterburner program. If you wish, you can even display these and many other parameters on top of the Crysis picture.

What temperatures are dangerous? Processors and video cards have different operating temperatures. For video cards they are usually 60-80 degrees Celsius. For processors it is slightly lower - 40-70 degrees. If the processor temperature is higher, then you should check the condition of the thermal paste. It may have already dried out and needs to be replaced.

If the video card is heating up, then you should use a driver or an official utility from the manufacturer. It is necessary to increase the number of revolutions of the coolers and check whether the operating temperature decreases.

Crysis is slow. Low FPS. Frame rate drops. Solution

If there are slowdowns and low frame rates in Crysis, the first thing to do is lower the graphics settings. Of course, there are many of them, so before reducing everything, it’s worth finding out exactly how certain settings affect performance.

Screen resolution. In short, this is the number of points that make up the game picture. The higher the resolution, the higher the load on the video card. However, the increase in load is insignificant, so you should reduce the screen resolution only as a last resort, when everything else no longer helps.

Texture quality. Typically, this setting determines the resolution of texture files. You should reduce the texture quality if the video card has a small amount of video memory (less than 4 GB) or if you are using a very old one. HDD, whose spindle speed is less than 7200.

Model quality(sometimes just detailing). This setting determines which set of 3D models will be used in the game. The higher the quality, the more polygons. Accordingly, high-poly models require more processing power from the video card (not to be confused with the amount of video memory!), which means this parameter should be reduced on video cards with low core or memory frequencies.

Shadows. They are implemented in different ways. In some games, shadows are created dynamically, that is, they are calculated in real time at every second of the game. Such dynamic shadows load both the processor and the video card. For optimization purposes, developers often abandon full rendering and add pre-rendered shadows to the game. They are static, because essentially they are just textures overlaid on top of the main textures, which means they load memory, and not the video card core.

Often developers add additional settings related to shadows:

• Shadow Resolution - Determines how detailed the shadow cast by an object will be. If the game has dynamic shadows, it loads the video card core, and if a pre-created render is used, then it “eats” the video memory.
• Soft shadows - smooths out unevenness in the shadows themselves, usually this option is given along with dynamic shadows. Regardless of the type of shadows, it loads the video card in real time.

Smoothing. Allows you to get rid of ugly corners on the edges of objects through the use of a special algorithm, the essence of which usually comes down to generating several images at once and comparing them, calculating the most “smooth” picture. There are many different anti-aliasing algorithms that differ in their level of impact on the performance of Crysis.

For example, MSAA works head-on, creating 2, 4 or 8 renders at once, so the frame rate is reduced by 2, 4 or 8 times, respectively. Algorithms like FXAA and TAA work a little differently, achieving a smooth image by calculating only the edges and using some other tricks. Thanks to this, they do not reduce performance as much.

Lighting. As with anti-aliasing, there are different algorithms for lighting effects: SSAO, HBAO, HDAO. They all use video card resources, but they do it differently depending on the video card itself. The fact is that the HBAO algorithm was promoted mainly on video cards from Nvidia (GeForce line), so it works best on “green” ones. HDAO, on the contrary, is optimized for video cards from AMD. SSAO is the simplest type of lighting, it consumes the least resources, so if it's slow in Crysis, it's worth switching to it.

What to reduce first? Shadows, anti-aliasing and lighting effects tend to take the most work, so these are the best places to start.

Gamers often have to deal with Crysis optimization themselves. Almost all major releases have various related forums where users share their ways to improve productivity.

One of them is a special program called WinOptimizer. It is made specifically for those who do not want to manually clean their computer of various temporary files, delete unnecessary registry entries and edit the startup list. WinOptimizer will do this itself and also analyze your computer to identify ways to improve performance in applications and games.

Crysis lags. Large delay when playing. Solution

Many people confuse “brakes” with “lags,” but these problems have completely different reasons. Crysis slows down when the frame rate at which the image is displayed on the monitor decreases, and lags when the delay in accessing the server or any other host is too high.

This is why “lags” can only happen in online games. The reasons are different: bad network code, physical distance from servers, network congestion, incorrectly configured router, low Internet connection speed.

However, the latter happens least often. In online games, communication between client and server occurs through the exchange of relatively short messages, so even 10 MB per second should be enough.

There is no sound in Crysis. Can not hear anything. Solution

Crysis works, but for some reason it doesn't sound - this is another problem that gamers face. Of course, you can play like this, but it’s still better to figure out what’s going on.

First you need to determine the scale of the problem. Where exactly is there no sound - only in the game or even on the computer? If only in a game, then perhaps this is due to the fact that the sound card is very old and does not support DirectX.

If there is no sound at all, then the problem is definitely in the computer settings. Drivers may not be installed correctly sound card, or maybe there is no sound due to some specific error in our beloved Windows OS.

Controls don't work in Crysis. Crysis does not recognize mouse, keyboard or gamepad. Solution

How to play if it is impossible to control the process? Problems with supporting specific devices are inappropriate here, because we are talking about familiar devices - a keyboard, mouse and controller.

Thus, errors in the game itself are practically excluded; the problem is almost always on the user's side. You can solve it in different ways, but, one way or another, you will have to contact the driver. Usually, when you connect a new device, the operating system immediately tries to use one of the standard drivers, but some models of keyboards, mice and gamepads are incompatible with them.

Thus, you need to find out the exact model of the device and try to find its driver. Devices from well-known gaming brands often come with their own software packages, since the standard Windows driver simply cannot ensure the correct operation of all functions of a particular device.

If you don’t want to search for drivers for all devices separately, you can use the program Driver Updater. It is intended for automatic search drivers, so you just need to wait for the scan results and download necessary drivers in the program interface.

Often, crashes in Crysis can be caused by viruses. In this case, it makes no difference how powerful the video card is in the system unit. You can scan your computer and clean it of viruses and other unwanted software using special programs. For example NOD32. The antivirus has proven itself to be the best and has been approved by millions of users around the world.

ZoneAlarm is suitable for both personal use and small businesses, capable of protecting a computer running Windows system 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP from any attacks: phishing, viruses, malware, spyware and other cyber threats. New users are given a 30-day free trial.

Nod32 is an antivirus from ESET, which has received many awards for its contribution to security development. Versions of antivirus programs are available on the developer’s website for both PCs and mobile devices, a 30-day trial is provided. There are special conditions for business.

Crysis downloaded from a torrent does not work. Solution

If the game distribution was downloaded via torrent, then in principle there can be no guarantees of operation. Torrents and repacks are almost never updated through official applications and do not work over the network, because in the process of hacking, hackers cut out all network functions from games, which are often used to verify the license.

Using such versions of games is not only inconvenient, but even dangerous, because very often many files in them have been changed. For example, to bypass protection, pirates modify the EXE file. At the same time, no one knows what else they do with it. Perhaps they are building in a self-executing software. For example, when the game is first launched, it will integrate into the system and use its resources to ensure the well-being of hackers. Or, giving access to the computer to third parties. There are no guarantees here and cannot be.

In addition, the use of pirated versions is, in the opinion of our publication, theft. The developers spent a lot of time creating the game, investing their own money in the hope that their brainchild would pay off. And every work must be paid.

Therefore, if any problems arise with games downloaded from torrents or hacked using one or another means, you should immediately remove the pirated version, clean your computer with an antivirus and a licensed copy of the game. This will not only protect you from dubious software, but will also allow you to download updates for the game and receive official support from its creators.

Crysis gives an error about a missing DLL file. Solution

As a rule, problems associated with missing DLLs arise when Crysis is launched, but sometimes the game can access certain DLLs during the process and, not finding them, crash in the most blatant manner.

To fix this error, you need to find the necessary DLL and install it on the system. The easiest way to do this is using the program DLL-fixer, which scans the system and helps quickly find missing libraries.

Hello!
Crysis 3 license crashes, I used to install a pirated version, the game ran on the highest graphic settings! I changed the PC name, as you described, updated Direct X, nothing helped. I tried to fix it using “compatibility problems.” In response, he gives me the following: Missing required file “Phonon4.dll” I found this library, downloaded it and threw it into the root game, as expected, the result is the same! I repeated the launch through the “Compatibility Troubleshooting” and it gave me almost the same
heresy Missing required file “QtCore4.dll” and so it requires a new dll file every time!
Tell me, is there a solution to my problem?
Thank you in advance!

I noticed this feature, 2 different laptops, installed crysis 3 on one freshly purchased one, played, went through everything, deleted it, re-installed it - it doesn’t start, doesn’t write any errors, just a stupid black screen after the splash screen, on the second freshly purchased laptop the same story, all the wood costs , new, maybe this is a bug of the game, or does it leave something in the registry that then won’t start???? Don't reinstall the system because of the game

If it crashes to a “black screen” after the settings menu and the computer freezes, then one of the options to solve the problem is:
Description of the problem:
After the settings menu and the start video when entering the game - a black screen and a completely frozen computer. Doesn't even respond to Alt-Ctrl-Del.

I solved the problem like this:
1. All graphics settings to minimum.
2. Set WINDOWED mode.
3. Exit the Game and start Crysis 3 again in windowed mode.
4. Reached the first checkpoint.
5. Returned the settings to the previous ones and changed the windowed mode to full screen.
6. Restart the Game.
7. It didn’t crash anymore!!!

I updated all the firewood as it was written, it did not help.
Computer performance is normal.
What to do help.

Setting up a game to run on DX9 or DX10

Obviously, Crysis is having problems on some systems running Direct X 10 and others. Some of these problems manifest themselves in the form of freezes and crashes at startup, also with partial or complete loss of control on both the keyboard and mouse, and possibly losses sound...
In order to fix this, you need to add a command to the launch "-dx9" or "-dx10" to launch with the possibility of maximum settings. (thanks for the tip)

Here's how you achieve this:

• Right click on the game. Click Properties.
• In the Properties window, under General, click Set startup options.
• In the window that opens, add the command "-dx9" without quotes. Click the "OK" button!

Now launch the game.
This won't fix all problems, but it fixed many of the problems I was having.

Running Crysis on 64-bit systems...

In order to run Crysis on 64-bit systems, you need to download the fix:

Installation!

• Open the folder with the installed game "Steam\SteamApps\Common\Crysis"
• Find and rename the Bin32 folder to a folder called Bin32.bak
• From the downloaded archive, unpack and paste the Bin64 folder and then rename it to Bin32

In order to run Crysis Warhead on 64-bit systems there are two ways:
A) Just do the same as with Crysis and rename the Bin64 folder to the Bin32 folder.

B) Or like this.
1: Download and run the file from the archive, a message should appear that the license was successfully removed from the computer...

2: Download and run the file from the archive?. and follow his instructions (Setup in English, so just click Next)

3: Depending on the system, run the file from desired folder -
Win x64 = Bin64, Win x86(32) = Bin32
I just renamed the Bin64 folder to Bin32 folder, and Bin32 became Bin322...

Now you can play Crysis\Crysis Warhead on 64-bit.

I hope this helps you.
Have a good game.

Solving the CDKey problem when starting the game.

1. Go to the folder with the game Crysis.
(Your disk space\Steam\steamapps\common\Crysis)

2. Run "runme" as administrator.

3. Copy the key there and click Finish.
(The key can be found by going to Steam view mode - Detailed, and there will be links to the right of the news.)
(It may indicate an error, but that's okay, just click ok.)

4. Launch the game)

Change view 1 screen, Digital key 2 screen.

P.S. After I clicked Finish in the key entry window, the game started on its own and completed everything it needed without errors, via Steam.

Resolution: Full HD

For the inattentive, I’ll highlight this line and point with an arrow to a slider that allows you to display a couple more resolutions.

But if someone still encounters the fact that the maximum resolution in the game is “1680x1050”, then you can set your own through the settings file.

1. Open the file "game.cfg" which is located "C:\Users\Your Path\Documents\My Games\Crysis"
2a. Find lines:

r_Height = 1050 r_Width = 1680

P.S. And if you have a 64bit system, I advise you to launch from the appropriate folder, and the quality can be set to maximum and the launch should be 99%)) Good luck with the game.

The launch problem can be called a classic problem for many games. There are quite a few reasons why Crysis 3 does not start; in this article we will try to cover solutions to the most of them.

It should be immediately noted that Crysis 3 does not run on Windows XP, since the game is designed for DirectX 11. However, some particularly persistent players run Crysis 3 on Windows XP using special DirectX 10-11 builds for XP, like such.

If Crysis 3 does not start for you, the following points may help you get rid of this problem and successfully launch and run the game:

Installing the latest video drivers

For games that are demanding on resources, and even more so on video card resources, it is recommended to install the latest versions of video drivers to avoid launch problems and low performance.

Installing DirectX

DirectX is a set of libraries necessary for stable operation games and many applications. Without this component, launching a modern game will not succeed, just as it will not succeed if individual parts of this component are missing. Typically, this component is supplied by developers along with the game on disc. A DirectX update can correct the situation when, after launching Crysis 3, after the introductory videos, as soon as the game menu appears, a crash occurs, the game closes and an error message appears.

Run as administrator

Some players were helped in launching Crysis 3 by running on behalf of system administrator. You can find out how to run the game as an administrator. When you run a game this way, you are giving it more power than when you normally run it as a user.

Installation NET Framework and Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable

The NET Framework and Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable software can help you run Crysis 3. Both software are very important in the operation of games and programs and help ensure their stable and correct operation. The first component of the NET Framework is an essential element for many applications and some games, and without Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable, games and programs will not work at all. It is recommended to update this software.

Correction in the system

Check that the username on the computer where you are running Crysis 3 is in English letters without dashes or any symbols. If this is not the case, rename the username using Latin letters and restart the computer.

Some people who have a username in English delete the Electronics Arts folder from C:\ProgramData\ and this helps them launch the game.

Changing the crack (if you have a pirated copy of the game)

Sometimes, and especially in the first days after a game is released, the launch fault is a crack for the game, or as it is also called No-DVD.

Sometimes, there are cases when a computer that seems to be quite suitable for the system requirements refuses to run the game, and your neighbor, whose computer is an order of magnitude worse, runs the game at full capacity. This is due to individual differences between your systems. Under the system in this moment implies a set of versions operating system, assembly, installed software, hardware manufacturers. Sometimes hardware refuses to work with a game, but this happens extremely rarely.
