Crysis fix - how to play with AMD (especially Ryzen), DRM fix

[Kurasan]

So there have been a lot of silly tutorials here, like renaming Bin64 to Bin32 or copying files from Warhead into Crysis 1 or running Crysis with those special affinity commands, all of them are kind of silly and over-complicated. None of those would really help you to run it on for example Ryzen, just because Crysis assumes that if CPU is from AMD, it must support 3DNow! instructions, which are long deprecated since AMD FX series.

All you have to do to fix Crysis is to install this patch: https://crymp.net/ and simply use shortcut it creates on Desktop in order to play + you get working multiplayer as an extra.

Another nice thing is that this patch will not rewrite any of the original game files and those worried about safety, whole patch is actually open-source

Didn't work and it gave me a "Couldn't load CrySystem.DLL" error

It works now. I had to do a "Verify Integrity of Files" and now it works. It still won't track hours played though.

See I did not need to do any of that.
I added this into the launch options, it ran fine on my fx8350 and it allows my ryzen 3600 to work too.

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

Due to the amount of different hardwar and software, some fixes work with some configurations some do not.

I know for instance if you have a quad or six core FX you need to use a different value other then FE to get them working.

I also think only 8 of my 12 threads are working fine on my ryzen, which makes sense since FE is to enable all 8 cores on the 8350 to work, but I have no idea what value to use other than FE, plus it still runs the game at full speed so not too bothered :)

Yeah but the post's fix works for EA Desktop and origin too

My fix also works for other versions too. It may not work for everyone, but if you have an AMD, its far quicker to simply add a launch option before trying the others. (for others you would have to right click on the exe and add it in there)

Ryzen 5800X3D and PowerColor 6700XT - what worked for me was starting Crysis in DX9 mode + the affinity hack. Create shortcut with:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity FFFE "<SteamLibrary>\steamapps\common\Crysis\Bin32\Crysis.exe" %command% -dx9

Hope it helps anyone else because even all these years, this game is just stunning and with nowadayas hardware, we can finally enjoy it all at max. (unfortunately dx9 does limit the settings a little bit)
