This is so sickening it should be ILLEGAL. I hope Crytek goes out of business.

Well after about 3 months of fighting with these people, AFTER all the agervation and all the so called customer support they been trying to give me. Their anwser to me is that they cannot help me and I should buy another Crysis.

NOW heres my problem "and everyone else who owns Windows 7 64bit" we cannot play this game via multiplayer because it just stops working. Crashes after 5 or so mins also useing the graphics settings crashes the game.

I tried playing this game in both DX10 and DX9 64bit and 32bit, nothing works.

I feel so cheated out of my money because they already said they wont be releasing another patch so what now im stuck with a game I cant play. I paid FULL PRICE for this game when it came out. I will NEVER support them EVER again no matter how good their game is and I want everyone else to know how they treat their customers.

its the only game I have a problem with

It is a sad, but true, fact that every single game cannot run on every single rig.

There are just so many variations of hardware, so many drivers released at different times and for different reasons, that there is going to be a small percentage of the population that just gets the shaft.

Its not criminal, it is not even morally wrong...its just unfortunate.

My deepest sympathies to you, Crysis is an excellent game imo, but you just gotta bite the bullet on this one. It has happened to me a few times in the past. Ideally you take it back to where you bought it and return for store credit

If its just multiplayer... then I don't see the big deal.

Actually this is supposably happening to ALLOT of people. If you type crysis windows 7 in the google search bar almost every single link is someone who has problems.

If its just multiplayer... then I don't see the big deal.

Do you own Left 4 dead? How would you like to play that game without multiplayer?

TrooperManaic

I do it all the time, and I'm having a blast nonetheless :P Back on topic though, it does seem unfortunate that you can't get it to work. I guess I should count myself lucky that it does on mine.

no sadly I bought the game when it first came out and they didnt have it on steam back then so I have the CD.

Couldn't you dual boot with XP or Vista ?

im glad to see some people can actually run the game but I belive it to be a major issue for most people who have windows 7. This supports my claim, I went to crytek forums and withing the first 5 pages here is all the people who are having similar issues

TrooperManaic

That's hardly an epidemic. Sorry that you're having trouble, but it's clear that your case isn't typical.

If you have windows 7 ulti you could emulate XP with Mirco$ofts program...

Wont even work in compatibility mode? You can always set up another partition with a 32bit OS and play it that way.

Crysis Multiplayer? Belive me, your not missing anything, it's awful. Besides the game was released before Win 7, you can't be 100% safe then.

From what a Microsoft rep told me compatibility mode doesn't work with 3D programs like games.

Just tried my Steam version and it works fine. Win7 Home Premium.

Not that I think that every developer can be responsible for every possible hardware combination in existence but...

Crysis is, and has been pretty notorious for it's horrible hardware interaction. Every time I upgrade my computer it's always a "luck o' the draw" as to how Crysis will react to the new hardware. Two upgrades ago it crashed every time it autosaved, and the world froze any time I used the assault scope.

This upgrade my FPS seems to have dropped dramatically and inexplicably, seeing as how no other game reacts in such a way. But yeah, /golfclap Crytek.

Or you actually tried it where the rep might have been talking out his rear which is very possible. I hate reps. So it does work ? This is good news.

Works fine for too. Almost nobody plays the multiplayer so I don't see the big deal.KHAndAnime

I really can't understand how Crysis Wars didn't take off. It thought it was brilliant. It felt really fresh to me and was really exciting.

Because the rep is right. It doesn't work. But its a miscommunication here.

XP compatiblity mode works on games. Windows 7's XP Mode (which is very, very different than its compatibility mode) does not work on 3D games at all. The XP Mode has no 3D driver support at all.

TC if you have AVG antivirus turn it off or get rid of it. The patched version of Crysis will not run with AVG on at all. Same thing happened to me, so I uninstalled AVG and boom everything worked fine.

"Supported OS:Windows XP or Windows Vista***"

Read the system reqs next time, if it doesnt work on win7 guess you should be more careful

You know whats sickening and should be illegal? people raging at others for there own mistakes.

Minimum System Requirements

• OS – Windows XP or Windows Vista
• Processor – Single core 2.8 GHz or faster (XP) or 3.2 GHz or faster* (Vista)
• Memory – 1.0 GB RAM (XP) or 1.5 GB RAM (Vista)
• Video Card –256 MB**
• Hard Drive – 12GB
• Sound Card – DirectX 9.0c compatible

Sorry but Crytek is not in the wrong. They never stated the game would work on Windows 7. The requirements clearly state XP or vista. just install your old Vista or XP. Dual boot.

i dont under stand mine works perfectly and i have played with friends loads of times i keep seeing threads about people having problems withWin7 with games that i own myself but mine all work fine . i must just be lucky

I dont think thats really a valid argument. The game came out well before Windows 7 and i do believe that theres reasonable expectations that it should work in Windows 7. This isnt a 10 year old game.

Expecting something doesnt make it true, the game doesnt officially support win7, so if you have win7 and buy the game and it doesnt work well guess what? no ones fault but your own.

Crysis was released years before windows 7 and does not officially support it. I see nothing wrong here to be honest.. You cant expect companies to future proof their games against tech that doesnt even exist.. thats totally unreasonable.

No they aren't criminals for it.... But that doesnt change how its reasonable to expect it to work, especially considering theres relatively little difference from Vista for the purposes of games.

Its akin to getting tires for a car. No, tires dont claim forward compatibility, but using tires for a 2010 make of the same 2009 model, and theres reasonable expectations that it should fit.

It's a poor analogy, don't get mad just cause he challenges you on it.

The TC also quoted several forum posts but you rarely read posts that are not complaints, it's the greased wheel thing.

Lastly, Ican't play the game past the 4th level because of a but that won't let me advance. I don't know why.Also The vehicals have no rear tires. Maybe this is Crytek fault but I don't think they should go out of business. And maybe I'll start a new game sometime to see if it makes a difference. All I'm sayin' is it aint the end of the world lighten up.

While I sympathize with your situation because you did shell out money for a game, I think you're missing the most important point in this particular issue. Crysis was released way before Windows 7. The game's system requirements clearly state that it requires XP or Vista to work properly. So the unfortunate truth is that you really don't have room to be upset with Crytek about that. Be upset at yourself for trying to run a game on an Operating System that it wasn't even designed to work with.

This. We live in a inperfect world, deal with it.

Well after about 3 months of fighting with these people, AFTER all the agervation and all the so called customer support they been trying to give me. Their anwser to me is that they cannot help me and I should buy another Crysis.

NOW heres my problem "and everyone else who owns Windows 7 64bit" we cannot play this game via multiplayer because it just stops working. Crashes after 5 or so mins also useing the graphics settings crashes the game.

I tried playing this game in both DX10 and DX9 64bit and 32bit, nothing works.

I feel so cheated out of my money because they already said they wont be releasing another patch so what now im stuck with a game I cant play. I paid FULL PRICE for this game when it came out. I will NEVER support them EVER again no matter how good their game is and I want everyone else to know how they treat their customers.

You must run the client under 32 bit/Direct X 9 mode. Punkbuster is not compatible with Crysis mp and Crysis Wars if the game runs in 64 bits (Punkbuster lacks 64 bit support).

Another solution could be to upgrade your SO to Windows XP (not joking, i have both XP and W7 Ultimate 64 in two different ant capable rigs and I'm still wondering why I waste 320 € in the W7).
