Crysis & Crysis Warhead Steam issues.

Omaeka · 23 Nov 2012 at 20:48

Would like to just for once buy a game that works please Steam, but anyway, I grabbed these on Steam and they won't launch, I have to manually launch the Crysis64.exe to get it to work but that doesn't register as Steam and doesn't give me an Overlay/track gametime etc. Is there a way around this? Also, when I'm in game I have everything on enthusiast (max I think) and the game looks bad, and there is also massive popin that is a further eyesore.

So;
1. Can Crysis and Crysis Warhead be launched through Steam?

2. Is it supposed to be ugly?

3. Is there a way to stop these twigs and stones teleporting infront of me as I move?

Thanks.

Always forget to try and revalidate, cheers! Also, I'm on the 64-bit Windows 7 OS, and only the Crysis64.exe works out of the bin64 folder.

This is settings/pics, please tell me something is holding the visuals back that I have to manually unlock? Because I'm sorry but Far Cry 2 looks better than this. So much for the 'legendary' Crysis. :/

HORRIBLE GRASS POPIN:

This is what I get basically when I try and launch either game through Steam;

I've googled and tried EVERYTHING and none of it works, Crysis just will NOT launch, this is ****ing pathetic!

I've managed to figure out how to get it working! Thank ****.

For anyone who has this issue, do the following:

For Crysis (Steam) download this (I have scanned it for virus/malware; clean). It is the Bin64 folder which contains 64 bit resources for Crysis which does not come as standard with the Steam version of the game. Simply delete the existing Bin32 folder found here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Crysis and then extract the 'Bin64' folder into the same directory and rename it 'Bin32'. Crysis will now launch normally through Steam.

For Crysis Warhead (Steam) you do not have to download anything, simply go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Crysis Warhead and delete Bin32, and then rename the already existing Bin64 to Bin32. Crysis Warhead will now launch normally through Steam.
