Vista - Crysis warhead patching issue

Hey well i have crysis warhead installed on my rig in this folder
C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis WARHEAD
i have downloaded the 1.01 patch (or something like that)
and the 1.1 patch, i am 100% sure it is for warhead and not wars..

when i launch either patch i get this...


also, does anybody have any idea when te Sandbox editing thing is released.......ive wanted to play it soooooooooo much for about a year and was pretty disapointed when i realised warhead doesnt have it, but i have heard that it was going to be released soon.....i heard this about 6 months ago.... =/

i have tried:
running as admin
re dl'in
running in compat xp 32 mode

my system specs are in that special box....but i dont think that really has much to do with it..

Bump, =/ =/ =/ =/ =/= /= /= /= /

bump..........

hello LuKepKer,
i have had a patch do the same, (not crysis though), the problem was the physx drivers, i had to uninstall them so they could reload with the patch, its a shot in the dark but as nobody else has replied this may give it the bump it needs, lol.
good luck anyway m8

isnt PhysX for Nvidia? i have ati.....
i double checked my drivers and there is nothing to do with physichs, i guess ile just wait for some other patch or something :O i downloaded the crysis wars demo and that patched fine......might be my wahread installation, ile re-install
thanks.

This might be a little late but if you didn't get your problem sorted out...Is you copy of Crysis Warhead a steam version? If so, you can't patch a steam based game any other way but through steam, which does its update automatically.

And to answer your "PhysX" question, yes, its an Nvidia app, however the software will install on you system if it's part of the game, but it won't be used if you have an ATI card.

The last game to install AGEIA's PhysX software on my system was UT3. I'm not sure it gets installed with either Crysis games though. I have both games installed and didn't notice a PhysX software intall, but I also had UT3 installed so maybe because it was there already it didn't install.

Again though, I'm pretty sure it's not part of the Crysis games.

Hope this helps
