Crysis

[Billy]

I've had crysis for awhile, since before windows 7. Today I decided I wanted to play it so I installed it and updated it to 1.2.1. Every so often while I play the game just crashes, also crashes when I try to change graphical settings. In the event viewer it says

Faulting application name: crysis64.exe, version: 1.1.1.6156, time stamp: 0x47d6d9cf

I'm not sure what this all means. I never had problems with it on XP.

Mate have you tried not to update crysis? and just leave as is? might be the fact that the update has issues with window 7.

Or Try the update before 1.2.1

 

[Billy]

It started from a fresh Crysis install, that's when I updated it, I didn't try playing on any of the in between updates, only CD version and 1.2.1. Maybe I'll try a new install and test all the updates.

yeh mate try just a fresh install no update and see how that runs. and work ur way from there

Problem is I was playing on a fresh install until it started crashing during game play, only reason I tried updating. I'll try to play with patch 1.1 or 1.2 instead of fresh install or 1.2.1.

 

[jayjay01]

haha you love font colour , see how ya go with that different ways.

irbeel - looking at the patches on megagames.com I would go for the 1.2 patch. 1.2.1 is for server issues.

Try that it may help ya,

Crysis Version 1.2 Patch - MegaGames patches

I'll give that a try tomorrow and post an update then.

After a fresh install and updating to 1.2 only, no 1.2.1 game seems to run fine so far... No crashing after hitting Apply in the graphics options.

Update: After about 10 minutes into game play Crysis crashed again.

Event Viewer Says this:

Isn't the same error I got before.

Update all your drivers, and use driver sweeper in safe mode when you uninstall them.

 

[Billy]

What makes you think it's a driver problem? It's the only game I'm having problems with.

 

[Frostmourne]

Games - especially Crysis with millions of lines of code - rely on your hardware - which in turn relies on drivers. Otherwise the hardware would just sit there. Update the chipset, BIOS, sound, graphics, and NIC drivers, along with any others. Disable your antivirus when you are playing - it may be causing a crash. Do you have any codec packs on your pc?

 

[Billy]

Yeah I have Windows 7 Codec Pack 2.2. Gigabyte doesn't show a driver for chipsets, just LAN and Audio Link to my mobo. Should I install the Vista 64 bit chipset drivers? Doesn't list any for 7 64 bit.
My BIOS is already at the latest version that isn't in beta.

Edit: Forgot to say I have the latest audio and video drivers installed already.

 

[Frostmourne]

Uninstall the codec pack, and then update the chipset from intel's website.

hey, i had problems with Crysis also. i found out that when you play in DX9, Crysis won't crash. To play in DX9, click the start button, go to all programs>Games Folder> right click Crysis, then click on playDX9. I've had no problems after that.

 

[Uber Philf]

I had that problem, easily solved by adding run as admin to both Crysis.exe & Crysis64.exe, and set both to Vista SP2 compatibility.

AND run the Crysis.exe in the Bin64 folder, not Crysis64.exe

Hope that helps.

I don't think it's a broken version... It's not like I downloaded it of of the pirate bay or something. Installed right off the DVD.

 

[Frostmourne]

Have the updated drivers worked?
