Crysis not working on 64 bit system.

[OneManWolfPack]

Trying to run crysis on my pc and it opens, Shows a black screen, And then crashes and burns.
Which is interesting because it runs on my laptop perfectly fine.
Any tips/suggestions?

Why yes, read the forums, there are plenty of threads on this already, full of fixes.

If you still cannot get it working. list your full specs and what you have tried in order to get the game working, then we can suggest something you may have missed.

this is the only guide that worked for me, years of failure ended two days ago. everything is included, no suss downloads. make sure if u tried other patches to uninstall and delete as instructed or it wont work.

Thanks guys!
I got it working by downloading the 64 bit patch and re-naming the 32 bit folder.
Although it still won't run when I attempt to launch from my steam library, But it's fine.
Thanks again for the reply(s)!!

This works! 0 crashes since using it.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work for me. I've tried for hours today trying to get this game to run, I've tried pretty much every solution I could possibly find online and nothing's working. What's truly frustrating is the game was working just fine earlier until my PC rebooted, and then the game would crash on startup. I've uninstalled and re-installed numerous times, and yes I've been deleting the Crysis folder in My Games as well.

The issue I get when using this method is that, after I've done all the steps, when I try to launch the game, I get an error saying "This application is not compatible with the installed operating system. Please upgrade to Windows 98SE, Windows 2000 or better." The Crysis executable has no compatibility tab, so I can't do anything with compatibility settings either. I've also tried running the Crysis 64 executable directly from the folder, but this just leads to the black screen crash at start-up that I'm trying to avoid.

And yes, I'm adding -dx9 to the launch options as well.

Are you running Windows 10 Izzy -LidoTheFox-?

[Iido]

No, running windows 8.1. I should have listed my specs, too.

AMD FX 4350 quad-core processor @ 4.20GHz
8GB RAM
Nvidia GT730 2GB

A little over a year ago, I had the game running well, and was able to complete it from start to finish. I know I applied some trick to make it work on my system, I'm almost 100% positive it was the 64bit fix, because I had a 64bit folder in my Crysis directory.

I've heard changing the graphics settings in-game can apparently screw up the game's settings and make it crash on subsequent launches, I did do this and wonder if that could be the cause. I was able to do this in the past with no issues arising from it, though.

I'm gonna try updating my graphics driver. It could be that some GeForce update throughout the years broke it.

Aaaaand that did nothing.

Hum, Before I did the 64 bit fix I tried several things including downloading several patches, Running in compatibilty mode, And (As you mentioned) -dx9.
Have you tried patches or compatability mode?
Patch can be found here: http://www.crytek.com/games/crysis/overview/download
And if you search google for Crysis 64 bit patches the first link should be to a guide a guy (Mcshave07) did on steam community forums.

lol I tried so many things before I actually got it running haha.
Now it's your turn to take the pain:D :D :D

It...works now, and I don't know how. After trying the fix again (but to no avail) and two reboots over the past few days, now instead of the "incompatible with operating system" error, it's telling me "could not launch main application" when I try to start with the regular Crysis file. The Crysis64 one also usually crashes still, but, strangely enough...if I try to start the main Crysis application, then QUICKLY start the 64 bit one, it seems to load up with no problem! My guess is there's something wrong with the file paths, and starting them one after the other somehow resolves this...

Well nice!
Congrats!
Enjoy some pretty freaking awesome gameplay:D
