Crysis®

Crysis was groundbreaking for its day, providing large-scale arenas with lots of dynamic elements - explodable and throwable environments, lots of enemies with sophisticated AI, and a cool set of gadgets on a nanosuit without the complexity of games like System Shock 2. The story is nothing particularly imaginative, but any game that has combat in zero g is worth a romp! Yes, the game crashes. It's not well-optimized for all the assets it has in play, no matter your hardware or graphics settings. It has something to do the the save system; the game saves ALL its save files -- quicksaves, autosaves, chapter saves, everything. I was able to play through by periodically deleting old save files, just keeping the last two or three and the chapter saves. I also found that the game would crash if I quickloaded, so I just made sure to always play until I died and let the game reload me. I also avoided too many quicksaves, relying on the autosaves which are plentiful. This allowed me to get through to the end, although like everyone my frames dropped a bit on the final showdown. Still, overall it was a very smooth experience, especially once I figured out the trick with deleting the save files. Hope this helps others enjoy the game!

Ryzen 7 5800X3D, 64GB DDR4 3600, 14TB nVME SSD (1x2TB, 1x4TB, 1x8TB), RTX 3090 FE, Win11... everything is up to date. Tried installing without GoG Galaxy, tried the CL1 launcher or whatever from Github, tried compatibility mode, tried playing from GoG Galaxy thinking it'll have an updated version that'd work... Game launches, monitors flicker a few times(I have 3x), and then I'm back at the desktop. No error message, though Event Viewer does point to a .dll. The DX9 version will play, but that kinda' defeats the purpose of playing this game. I troubleshoot computers for a living and honestly I don't care enough to put anymore effort into making this game work. So buyer beware- this is an older game that is no longer supported. There's a high probability it will not work. If you don't mind troubleshooting and tinkering you could eventually get it to work. Just keep that in mind.

I got the CRYSIS DVD Special or Deluxe Edtion back in the old days. GOG lacks the original sound track and the hardcover art books. Bought again, I really don't know how to fix it to run on Windows 10 so I am here and it's work! THANK YOU GOG. Majority of your games run well than STEAM and ORIGIN! I have 4 copies of CRYSIS GOG, Steam, Origin and DVD edition. GOG's crysis is the only one that runs.

I own this on steam and it has never worked, I decided to get the GOG version with the assumtion they might have done something to rectify this but no. However the other day I was about to play Cyperpunk on my laptop 4060 but clicked Crisis by mistake and it worked perfectly. It turns out though that I wasn't playing on my 4060 but AMD internal graphics. I switched back to the 4060 and crysis wouldn't open again. Also on my PC I have a 3080 and Crysis also doesn't work with that.

On 2 different computers the program starts but then closes back to desktop
