People should be happy with a warning instead of removing the option to install in the HDD

@Kappa971 I read many Steam threads where the executable was published as well. They bypassed a CrySystemD3D10.dll crash from Crysis.exe in Bin64 (which still happens with Bin32 and Bin64 doesn't find VC++) but it was soon followed by a CrySystem.dll crash in Crysis64.exe. Upon inspection, I found …

I was able to run it, using Crysis64.exe and your stuff but it runs 1 out of 15 times. Crash module is CrySystem.DLL :/ You must run Crysis.exe (not Crysis64.exe) with Windows Vista compatibility mode. If that doesn't work, try installing MS VC++ 2005 x86 and x64. If it still doesn't work, maybe …

@FattKeks alongside dgVoodoo2, WineD3D, DirectDrawCompat or DxWnd may work as well.

I tried the 32 bit fix and it doesn't give any sound. I could play the 64 bit version of v1 2.1 but 2 problems: crysis64.exe with vista comp doesn't work ans crysis.exe has securom issues that I haven't been able to fix with another executable I don't remember having audio problems with the fix for …

@esasoft there is a modded driver package available on techpowerup. If you can take the risk, maybe that driver for Windows 10 may give resolutions under Windows 11

Some updates: Many games were tested for the CDaudio and instructions have been changed to emulate the WINMM MCI most perfectly using DxWnd. DxWnd also has enabled some games which used to access the video BIOS directly, to run on modern environments. Some games were also fixed to be run using …

Then it must be something wrong at driver level. It can't enumerate the supported resolutions through DXGI for some reason. Maybe the problem is Win11 itself. I don't know if AMD mobility radeon HD 5000 has dedicated Win11 drivers (I couldn't find one), and the Win10 driver might not be fully …

You are correct, it should work. But the ones I find, for v1.2, looks for MSVCR80.DLL which has been installed multiple times on my machine. The confusion probably grew because archive "working no-CDs" and I had put the 32-bit ones there, and how did I use them is something I can't recall. Edit: …

I had run Crysis 1 on my AMD system on Windows 10, and it needed the Windows 7 compatibility settings to launch, despite not having the 3DNow! code. Now on Windows 11, it doesn't run anymore. This C1 Launcher helped out, but I wonder how Crysis ran without it on Win10 on AMD Ryzen and without a …
