Hello

A friendly hobbit asking for some help (although I'm a lot taller)
Crysis won't launch. When I try to open the game through the SecuROM launcher app, it says to please upgrade to windows 2000 or better, and when I open the game, crysis64.exe it just crashes. I have all the latest drivers for my GPU, and latest patches for Crysis.


screenshots should be attached

Thanks so much if you can help me

Hi Frodo,
I recommend you try using the Troubleshoot Compability by right-clicking the shortcut/exe of Crysis and pressing Troubleshoot Compability, then choose Try using recommended settings.
I had this problem with some app installer. Worked with me!

Thanks for your reply!

I tried this, and It's still giving me those same errors. It's almost as if its ignoring the compatibility flags.

Hi,

Have you tried to run the 32-bit Application instead? I too had a lot of issues With Crysis 1 on my Win 8 PRO 64 bit Version. However it was in-game crashes With nothing in eventviewer... just died on me. I learned that save as often as possible and reload the game for each crash.

Back to Your issue, a lot of issues With 64-bit Crysis and DX 10. I would have tried to run 32-bit With DX10, if thats not working either, try 32-bit and DX9.
You can set DX10/9 With settings in the shortcut you have for Crysis.

32-bit exe file is also in Your Crysis folder.

Hope this can be of some help.

Regards,
Kai
