I had the same issue, this worked for me.

This First Method Requires That You "Own" Crysis Warhead.
About half an hour ago I purchased Crysis(Steam), Crysis 2(Origin), Crysis Warhead(Steam), and Crysis 3(Origin). I have yet to test my Origin downloads but neither Steam version would launch. I was getting really upset as I had purchased these games from a Third Party Source. No matter what patches I tried to download or anything of that sort fixed Crysis. So I tried launching Crysis Warhead, same freaking error! Checked the files in Warhead and was surprised to see a "Bin64" folder! I Immediately double clicked on the 64bit application and the game launched! Praise Gaiben! After closing the game and attempting to launch it again via steam it wouldn't so...

METHOD 1)

For Crysis Warhead:
1) Download Both Crysis & Crysis Warhead
2) Open the folder where Crysis Warhead is installed
3) You'll see a Bin32 folder and a Bin64 folder
4) Delete the Bin32 folder
5) Rename the Bin64 folder to Bin32
6) Open the new Bin32 folder
7) Delete the "Crysis" application
8) Rename the "Crysis64" application to just "Crysis"
9) Crysis Warhead Now Works!

For Crysis:
1) Right click and copy that new Bin32 folder you made for Crysis Warhead
2) Paste it into the Crysis install file (replace the old "Bin32" file with the new one from Crysis Warhead.
3) Crysis Now Works!

METHOD 2)

I Haven't Tested This But This Should (But It's NOT Guaranteed) To Work

1) Go here: http://www.crytek.com/games/crysis/overview/download
2) Download "Crysis Patch 1.2"
3) Run it
4) Let us know if that worked lol

You're Welcome, feel free to comment on my profile or add me if you need any additional help.

From what I recall the 2nd method is for the retail version, it does not work with the steam version.

I found a very simple solution that worked for my computer specs (Win 10 + AMD FX8350 processor) :steamhappy:. It´s only to set properly the launch parameters of the game:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity FE "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Crysis\Bin32\Crysis.exe" %command%

I paste here the link to the tutorial:

This is why you should always post specs when you have a problem, I could have told you that at the start of the thread :) i run an 8350 too......you do not need the patch at all.... :)
