Am trying to solve these issues aswell, what i found out till now is that in windows 7 the game will run perfectly when you run it as an administrator but when you apply the 1.21 patch (wich is build in steam and ea versions) you will be kicked back to windows when you try to apply new settings (like display or input settings).

There is no fix available for this at the moment but several people reported the problems but we doubt they will do anything about it since its a 3 year old game.

Workarround: Install the game from a retail DVD version install patch 1.2 and run crysis.exe as an admin. If you only wanna play single player the game will run fine like this (patch 1.21 gives the problems).

If you wanna play multiplayer you gonna need the 1.21 patch so enter the game when only patch 1.2 is on it adjust to the settings you want (make a backup of the config file located in your windows user folder, just to be sure you won’t loose your settings again) and patch to version 1.21 you won’t be able to make changes after 1.21 is applied but the old settings should still be configured, if not just copy your backupped config file back.

Now am gonna frag some people cause am freaking frustrated.

Sadly, none of the above helped.
Yuck still stuck, in the muck! wtf!
Can not finish the last level without crashing.
ctrl alt del required to get back to the desktop.
Yanked the last level from Luigi, maybe I did not yank hard enough. Becaue my yuck, is still stuck, in the muck. wtf!
The uninstall & reinstall without the patch still caused a crash for my yuck stuck in the muck. wtf.

@ Frag_Tard

I have a very similar set up to you, ‘cept a 4870 1024 GFX card. I’m running the game at Very High Settings, using Tripple C’s config, getting around 30 FPS, at high I’m getting about 40-45. Crysis will use up everything you have to offer, it’ll use +4G RAM if you have there to be consumed, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get a lovely looking/well running game out o’ 4G

I have a 4870 x2 gpu with 4G ram and a quad core cpu, and velociraptor HD, so I’m not limited for speed. My CPU/RAM vista sidebar which I have on my second screen shows the cpu working at 40% ish and RAM at 83% most of the time for the game. BUT, the game slows down for me when the sidebar shows the RAM going over 90% usage. Is this just my setup or is Cry sis really a +4G RAM Game?

Good thing I pirated this game. To think I was actually going to buy this defective piece of crap.

I’d regret getting scammed.
