Does Crysis work with W7?

i-bert · 15 Aug 2010 at 22:20

I build my new PC yesterday and i've just spent all day trying to get the thing to work.

It works fine until after the parachute drop, then as soon as I crouch through the gap it freezes, and I have to ctr+alt+delete.

Its an i5 760 with a GTX 460.

Anyone using similar specs that have it working on Win7?

Thanks

Your problem is nothing to do with W7, unless there is a whole bunch of people it hasn't worked for that I just don't know about. Works for me no issues.

I don't know what it is, but it isn't that.

my mate is playing crysis on win7 no problems, do you have latest drivers and patch?

i-bert · 15 Aug 2010 at 22:33

Yeah, I've tried everything.

Im on W7 and play Crysis regularly...no problems @ all.

Maybe try a reinstall if you have exhausted all options?

Couldn't get it going on mine. Black screen if I run normally, crashes on exit and stutters in game when I ran in xp compatibility mode. I just gave up on it (although I didn't really try too hard to sort it, couldn't be bothered).

I'm on w7 64 bit on a i5 750 and hd5850. Works fine here.

No issues here either - I'm on W7 64bit on AMD 965 and HD5850.

If you're playing the 64bit version, try the 32bit executable - the 64bit version is a bit buggy IIRC.

Just done a format and the problem is still there. It plays Arma 2 and the Mafia2 demo fine.

Never had a problem with any software and W7. Doubt i ever will.
I'd say its a driver issue.

Looking at peoples sigs and what they have stated, it seems they are all using Radeon GFXs and you have an Nvidia. Maybe its the lately Nvidia drivers being an issue? Just an idea?

Dont have any problems running it here either on windows 7 64 bit.

mame · 16 Aug 2010 at 05:25

Mine works but it is the Steam version so will be updated. Is there a recent patch for it?

Have you oc'd your card or CPU? It could get too hot at this point and crash your game. What temps are your GPU and CPU?

WinQuake works with Windows 7 HP 64

I played Warhead through on Win 7 (steam version). I seem to remember there was a 64bit executable for the original Crysis which was a bit naff, are you using that?

Are you using a new or old HD?

I had problems installing on my new setup as some of the files were still lurking on my HD. Was having a few lockups as well. Worked fine after my third install.

Just tried using the 32bit exe and it seems to be running fine now.

Yeah I have problems with the 64 bit .exe myself on Windows 7 x64 but the 32 bit .exe works just fine.

coldfused · 16 Aug 2010 at 17:08

I had the same problem, but on the last level.
Right Click on Crysis icon and - run as a Windows XP program in direct X 9 mode and I think that will work.

Have you installed any graphics mod?, I was crashing at that same point with a graphics mod I put it, I used another one instead and was fine. Can't remember what mods though
