Black screen after starting new game (solved)

[Zalnerath]

Okay, so I just bought the crysis bundle today, downloaded crysis and tried running it. At first it just crashed right away, but after following some guides I managed to get it running to as far as the main menu. Now, the newest problem is when I start a new game. Because after the game trailer plays out, I just get this black screen and the game won't progress past this point.

Any thoughts?

(edit) Thanks RuBB3rBunz this fixed my current problem, I can finally play the game now ^_^

I got this information from Shadowhunter Wanted to point out, that this method does work, but when you launch Crysis and start a new game, it will play the cenimatic and the screen will go black, you will have to hit the ~ key to open a command prompt, type con_restricted 0 then hit enter, then type map island and hit enter. at this point the game should start loading. (you only need to do this for starting new games, not any loads.)
hope this helps.

Try this also:

Go to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Crysis\Game

Delete the Config folder (to force a fresh rewrite of the parameters).

Restart game.

This worked perfect for me. I've been looking for over an hour for a fix and this finally worked. Someone give them a cookie.

Bro thank you so much. I just bought the crysis trilogy totally unaware of how many launch issues it has. I had to take some warhead file into the original game. Like this game is old why the heck have they not fixed it? Thank you again!
