adventnova: Just found a simple work around to being able to launch Crysis through GOG 2.0+ without having to endure the Black Screen Startup issue and crash. Tested this about 5 or 6 times so far. So its an issue with the GOG platform communicating with the CrysisLauncher.exe. You can use the CrysisLauncher exe directly in the installation folder without issue, but not through GOG.
After Installing the game.
- Go to Crysis on your GOG Dashboard.
- Click on the Settings Toggle Button next tot he Play button.
- Click Manage Installation
- Scroll all the way to the bottom
- Click the blue "Add another executable / arguments"
- Search for your Crysis installation folder "~\Games\Crysis\Bin64\Crysis.exe"
- Click Open.
- Now select the "Default Executable" bubble.
- Click OK.
Launch Crysis without error using the GOG 2.0+ Platform.
This almost worked for me, so I am sharing what did work.
In order for Crysis to work on my new Desktop computer with a 13gen Intel core i5 and RTX 3060 (12 GB VRAM) I need to run "~\Games\Crysis\CrysisLauncher.exe -dx9" so to make it for GOG Dashboard to work follow same steps, use this folder without the -dx9 instead and in the Arguments box add the -dx9.
Hope this helps anyone still having an issue.
