crysis still crashes

gazz496 · Feb 16, 2008

love the game but after hunting for updates patchs and graphics card updates and soring all that out running the game inbetween each install to see if any worked i found that my game still crashes at the same point on the ship with the big 4 legged thing and i still get loads a wierd msgs if anyone has had problem and knows solution would be great or knows a method for fixing would be nice too i really close to lobbing it out the window and not buying games again as there are too few that don't have some major glitches even though there are alot that don't just not eough in my view lol :confused:

i have the same problem with the demo, even though my computer is out of commission atm =(. It crashes when you first see the big four legged thing at the frozen ship on land.

gazz496 · Feb 16, 2008

yeah it won't go past there for me i tried all sorts even started the game again from scrtach and reinstalled it not getting anywhere got driver updates the ltest patch and the hot fix from ati and saphire and still a bag of crap

heh!...
my problem with crysis is quite something else.
I installed the game once as soon as i got my new rig. worked brilliantly enjoyed the game got bored after a bit and uninstalled it after a while.
now again(after 3 months and a lot of vista updates later) i installed it (5 times) the game just refuses to even start up as soon as i click on the icon it says "crysis has stopped working".
damn i shouldnt have uninstalled it.
im uninstalling the game and downloading SP1 as i write this so hopefully it will work after SP1.

any help would be great though

gazz496 · Feb 17, 2008

i had that problem when i first got the game but after something like 100 updates later finally got it to start just won't run smooth now have a high enough score i don't know what causes these problems would like to find out if there is anything that can be done though

sahitanand · Feb 17, 2008

wo...i just got SP1 and the game runs smoothly.
it still crashes on the 64 bit though bit the 32 bit runs like silk for me.
also after the SP1 is installed it takes about 5 to 6 boots to really realise the difference in the game and also lot of other performance issues.

hey u got this software called "game optimiser pro" . Have to say i have never played crysis that smoothly before.

mdiehl13 · Feb 18, 2008

Yeah, I can never get the 64-bit to run...it always crashes, so I have to run the 32-bit executable instead

or are you crashing on the 32?

sahitanand · Feb 18, 2008

nop not crashing on the 32. thats fine.

gazz496 · Feb 25, 2008

still trying to get sp1 will see what game optimzer pro does too see if it can help thanks for the info

Did you guys ever install the Crysis Patch 1.1??
file size :140MB
What a difference that makes.

NiTaS · Feb 27, 2008

I'm assuming that you all have legit copies of Crysis, because trying to update with a NO-CD crack screws up the game pretty bad. For instance, once the game loaded and no one had arms. It was funny the first 20 times, but it sort of fell apart when I found out I had to restart the bloody mission again. And again.

Crysis has been a problem child on Vista 64 (well, all of Vista for that matter), but I would suggest restarting the game (deleting your save files). I did that, and it sort of fixed the game.

gazz496 · Mar 2, 2008

no it's a legit copy and i do have the patch for it doesn't seam to solve the problem but i am playing through the game from the start to see about glitches
and see how it runs so far so good but i didn't have a problem at the start it was just fighting large beast thing on the carrier

NiTaS · Mar 3, 2008

Oh.. I know what you mean. Try going back to the last "good" save. It involves work, but there is a bug that screws up the mission (something like the door doesn't open or the shield never goes down).

Thats what it said on the Official Crysis forum.

gazz496 · Mar 3, 2008

SHIELD / DOOR oh man i started the game from scratch yet again with all the most recent updates and so forth maybe i can at least get past that point but i'll have to check those forums for how to get past that point keep running out of ammo shooting it and if i get far enough along without it crashing i don't know what is supposed to happen so i'll have to find out now

gazz496 · Mar 12, 2008

ok going to throw one out there but i changed it to play in DX9 instead of DX10 and the difference was phenomenal the game ran smooth as silk with no judder and even managed a 55fps which is also very good now i wonder is there a problem with DX10 that was ironed out years ago in DX9 and they just forget it screwed up games i've done everything else and thats the only thing i didn't do so i can only assume the DX10 is to blame for my faults with the game is there a way to update as my searches have either proved fruitless or i'm just looking in the wrong place for an update??

gazz496 · Mar 12, 2008

crysis crashing solved

i solved my problem with crysis after so much messing around
i finally ran it in DX9 which i didn't have the option for before for some bizare reason i don't want to know now i have one question as it is only DX10 games i have a problem with is there an update for it and is there a reason why this could be happening any info on this would be great thanks.

Re: crysis crashing solved

Hi Gazz, have you patched the game at all?

Patch 1.2 is available here:

Crymod Modding Portal | Crymod Downloads

1.1 makes mention of fixing potential D3D10 crashes, which will be included in the second patch as well.

Full details are on the site

gazz496 · Mar 13, 2008

yeah i did but it wasn't the problem i thaink i have hardware conflicts well not actuall conflicts but i thik the information flow is bottlenecking from my graphics card and not being processed fast enough on my main board so i am out hunting for a new mobo to upgrade to i a also looking at getting the 3870 x2 instead of the card i have thanks for the help guy's oh and put into DX9 mode and it worked fine wonder if that helps some of the more tech minded people think of a solution i've missed
