It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

Are there simply no plans to fix it? How is that acceptable? I launch the game, it shows me a couple of cmd prompts that then close and nothing happens. I tried all the suggestions of the support page, that judging by the like to dislike ratio might as well not exists, and the suggestions from

https://www.gog.com/forum/crysis_series/game_in_gog_galaxy_cant_run

But it does nothing for me.

Well I have the very same problem, I think I have a workaround of some sort. Is not the best solution but it seems to work for me.

The trick is editing the *goggame.info file of the game, and add at the end of the file a new task. And then launch the game with it always (at least until a better solution comes).

First of all, the file seems to be hidden so you need to make to show up hidden files through folder options of Windows.
Then make a backup of the .info file, this is very importatn because if the trick fails Galaxy will do a delist of the game and not recognice it untill the original .info file is restored (even with a repair/verify). This is very imoprtant.

This should be the new task to launch the 64-bit binary:

{
"name" : "Launch Crysis 64",
"type" : "FileTask",
"path" : "Bin64//Crysis.exe",
"workingDir" : "Bin64"
}

This will add a new task to the submenu "More > Others". This task will launch the executable without problems with Galaxy doing its magic (at least for me).
It is very important to add a comma to the previous task, just to prevent any issues with Galaxy delisting Crysis from the installed games (any fail into the file will be a delisting of Crysis, and a restore of the original .info file and a repair/verify to solve it).
If the trick works it may be a good advice to set the file in Read-Only to prevent Galaxy making future changes on repair/verify situations.

In any case maintain always a backup copy of the original .info.

My .info file is as it follows (goggame-1809223221.info), note that I have set the game in English so I suppose that will be need to change some of the parameters for other people with other languages selected:

I'm having trouble opening the game. As soon as I turn on the black screen, I go back to the desktop after a while. I tried your advice on the new one. But it didn't work for me either. The problem still continues. :(
