Crysis x64 RAM usage crashing after 3500 MB

[DIRTY-DAN!]

My Setup
I5 4670k on Liquid
16gb Gskill 2400mhz 1.65 vlts
Gigabyte z97N micro
r9 295x2 8gb on Liquid
Monitor 43" Wasbi Mango Mini Display to Display Port 3840x2160
850Watt Gold PSU

My settings are all on very high. game plays wonderful 60fps @ 16ms but as i play and play could be 2 hrs or could be 5 mins my computer completely shutdown and restarts I get no windows errors and as I'm playing Crysis and I'm looking at my RAM usage. Start up is about 2400MB playing intensely and under heavy graphical scenes battling ect.. it slowly climbs to 3200... 3400... then restarts. I have tried changing my page filling size, also tried letting windows control it. I'm just wondering if anyone is having the same problems as me I've looked online all over the place and I just bought Crysis and Warhead from steam that's why I'm posting here now. All my bios setting are good NO overheating of any kind. I usually fix problems like this my self and don't need help been building and working on computers for over 20 years. Crysis 1 is a buggy game. my setup was monstrous couple years back all this jammed in a corsair 380t micro atx case. Anyone else having High RAM usage problems shutting there system down?!

Any Advice would be great. The only thing I could think else of it could be the psu but all my other games never crash my system so that kind throws that idea out in the water.

Is there anyway to set the ram usage just for Crysis? I don't believe my setting are to high for my setup ect.

Thanks for reading...

Anyone? I have my gskill ram at 2400 @ 1.68vlts now reinstalling crysis threw steam as i type and i believe MSI afterburner might be the problem so i uninstalled it completely. there is a FPS command in crysis so ill use that. no background services hopefully that will help with mysetup and 4k ram usage. ill try to keep this updated.

I reinstalled my old sticks of ram witch are corsair 8gb 2000mhz ddr3. loaded up bios defaults and decided to run crysis well the started the game at about 380MB and i got it to run through out a couple of hours hitting up to 1024mb witch is normal VIA 32bit mode. so i decided to reinstall my gskill 16gb and load up the x64 version of crysis renaming the bin32.old and throwing in the bin64 renaming to bin32 ect and it seems that fixed the problem with the memory leak i overclocked my I5 to 4.0 instead of the stock 3.4 after playing for some time the game kept crashing and i got the memory RAM all the way up to 4500 and above before it crashes thats ALMOST 5GIGS of ram something is not right any input anyone even reading this LMFAO...

[DIRTY-DAN!]

crysis x32 starts at 386MB of ram using r_displayinfo 1
Might peak out above 1024MB and climb for hours of play on win10 64bit
crysis x64 starts at 886MB of ram using r_displayinfo 1
First cutscene even before dropping out and parachuting 4200MB!!!! WTFFFFF is up with the 64bit version of this game crewing threw so much ram??????!!!!?!?!??!?!?!
once it hits that i just turn it off because its either going to crash to desktop crysis has stopped working windows is trying to find a way to solve the problem witch doesnt do ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ or it restarts my computer... SOMEONE please comment

[DIRTY-DAN!]

got crysis and warhead all the way up to 5.1gb or 5001mb of usage on 64bit bin launch ANYONE ELSE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE?????

[Ypulse]

why u using 64-bit version for crysis??? its known for being buggy and running slower
it has use only for mapeditor

64-bit is usually worse for every game

[DIRTY-DAN!]

This is because it looks better and i have a pretty beefy pc build should handle this game on 64bit no problem. I have tried every compatibility mode that itself just black screens and crysis has stopped working and even run as administrator still black screens crysis has stopped working. its definitely a MEMORY LEAK because it starts out on lauch 64shortcut @ 866mb using the r_displayinfo 1 command loading the game runs to almost 2500mb then when it gets into the game after pressing any key to spawn into the game the ram jumps to 4300mb. thats insane!! the 32bit version loads at about 330mb and after hours of playing it will or might reach 3500mb or even 4000mb or higher then crash. I have been trying to figure this LEAK out for months and still having problems with this game even though its 8 years old.. ANYBODY ELSE have some input. its like all the forums explain stuff right before people fixed the issue and then noone ever posted a solution for windows 64bit OS with the 64bin for crysis 1...

This seems to be the issue and i've been reading all over the net that people are having the same problem. check your game txt file and if you are getting errors it will list. I believe this has to do with the graphic settings not working correctly with FSAA. Im going to try to figure out how to run crysis with different settings other then FSAA or forcing it.

SO I FINALLY FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM AFTER WEEKS OF PLAYING AND CRASHING ALL THE TIME. GET THE 64BIN ONLINE. WINRAR IT TO GO INTO STEAMAPPS/COMMON/CRYSIS 64BIN. CREATE A NEW FOLDER CALLED (ORIGINAL) AND COPY PASTE THE CRYSIS.EXE INTO FOLDER ORIGINAL KEEP THIS FOR A BACK UP JUST INCASE. NOW RENAME THE CRYSIS64.EXE TO CRYSIS32 (NOT THE CRYSIS.EXE LEAVE THAT ALONE. ONLY THE CRYSIS64.EXE NAME TO CRYSIS32. WHEN YOU LAUNCH THE GAME AND USE r_displayinfo 1. YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE MB USAGE IS THE EXACT SAME AS WHEN YOU ARE RUNNING THE GAME ON 32BIT MODE. THE X64BIT EXCUTABLE HAS SOME TIME OF BUG THAT HAS A HUGE MEMORY LEAK AND WILL USE UP ALL YOUR RAM AND OR SHUTDOWN YOUR SYSTEM. MAKE SURE ALSO THAT YOUR ADVANCED SYSTEM MEMORY OR PAGE FILING IS SET TO (NO PAGE FILING) AND ALSO IF YOU WERE USING THE 32BIT VERSION TO PLAY AND YOU USE MY METHOD TO LAUNCH THE 64 VERSION DX10 ON A X64OS (DO NOT LOAD SAVED GAMES FROM 32VERSION ON 64VERSION THEY DO NOT WORK TOGETHER THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AND YOU WILL HAVE TO START A NEW GAME EVERY TIME SWITCHING BACK FROM 32BIT TO 64BIT VERSIONS OF CRYSIS THEY DO NOT WORK TOGETHER. 6-24-17

I have this same problem and I'm running the 32 bit version of the game. When it hits 3500MB memory usage my PC will crash. It mostly started happening on the last level. I just kept saving my game right before it got to 3500MB and restarting it, it was annoying.

[DIRTY-DAN!]

I remember I got memory usage settings in windows and I changed a lot to window controls the amount, to setting the actual number of MB. I had the game running awesome in 4k everything maxed out completely. I've had my MB all the way up to 5000MB before and the game didn't not crash. I honestly think it has to do with the save game files. I have tried working with this game for many years and I just get frustrated now and turn it off its a shame..
Best way to start the game thru commands is the following:

con _ restricted 0
map island
r _ displayinfo = 1
or
com _ showfps 3

This will start you dropping out of the plane in the first mission and you will have you FPS meter in the right corner of the screen. I'm very excited about the remaster I believe it will be alot better of a game and run hopefully on VULKAN!!!!!

Where are you getting this 64 bit executable?

[DIRTY-DAN!]

How didn't I think of that?
Thanks!

[DIRTY-DAN!]

REPLY as of today. I have time to reinstall everything and switch out the bin files from war head and I believe like Xavier H.G Stated to not run the game with very high setting if you are running in 4k I will load everything up and play the game and figure out if that is the biggest issue, Others can comment as well we need to figure out how to fix this game on windows 10 completely! remaster has been released on switch but I'm very sure the pc version is delayed until further notice.

I dont have the issue personally, but Im playing at 1080p. Maybe the game engine is having issues at higher resolutions. Remember when the game came out even 1080p was almost unheard of, the most used res was 1024x768.
