Guide: How to play Crysis Multiplayer on Steam
Since July 2014, Gamespy has stopped supporting servers for many games, including Crysis. This means that Crysis Multiplayer are no longer supported. However, all is not lost - a Crysis Multiplayer Patch has been developed by DesiSlava.net which enables multiplayer games through a different set of servers, so we can keep playing this game.

That requires the installation of the Crysis Multiplayer patch, which itself includes many new features, such as additional maps, tweaked gameplay mechanics and even new game modes.

Logging In Crysis Multiplayer

First things first - start up multiplayer the usual way: Click the Multiplayer button in the main menu, then click on Internet Game.
After a short while, you'll be greeted with the usual GameSpy ID Login window. Here's where things are going to get a little different - Gamespy is no longer active so you can't use your old Gamespy account. Type in the username you want (anything will do), and use crysis as your password. Then click login , and you're done. After a quick load, you should have a list of servers.
We're done! You're back online and can keep playing this awesome game with many players from around the globe. Although the servers are fairly barren at the moment, as more people hear about this patch soon player numbers will rise again.

It's up to people like you and me to spread the word and keep Crysis Multiplayer alive!

Permanent Account requests

A permanent account is made for regular use. You will get a predefined profile that can be reused whenever you want. Only permanent accounts will work with special profile-based server features like bank systems or admin logins. They are not immediately ready for action, but have to be manually created by the admins, what will take a few days. To request a permanent account, register and login to GermanCrysis.com forum. Then follow this < < LINK > >.[www.germancrysis.com] In this form simply write the text "account request" and your preffered password. When you are done, send the message. That's all. Do not send us your GameSpy login data or other sensible information! When your permanent account has been created, you will get a response that confirms your new username and password. Multiple account requests by the same user will be ignored.
Username: Use the username that we will send you in response to your account request.
Password: Use the password that we will send you in response to your account request.
