How do you generate invites anyways?

This is what I'd like to know, as I haven't had any luck with any of the websites I've tried. It's not long until the alpha ends and it looks like I won't get to try it. :(

So far I haven't been able to try the game even though I did get a key because the game won't start, tried everything suggested that I can find anywhere, was even going to help the devs troubleshoot the issue (many people are unable to launch the game), but they never replied after initial contact (gmail, like most email providers, block exe's, so I didn't get the program they attempted to send to assist with the troubleshooting) so I can't even attempt to help then fix it. :/

Your key is sent.

Oh and to answer you guys's question, you remember the ranked games being only available to some Ranked Server Providers, right? Like, BF2, BF2142, Medal of Honor, Bad company 2, BF3, Medal of Honor: Breakthrough, Crysis2, Crysis3, and probably some I forgot?

The company I work for we are Ranked Server Providers, and for Crysis 3, EA gave us batches of keys to share around. We first got a batch, which the company decided to share with old clients (Makes sense really), but we got... ALOT of keys. So, we figured we wouldn't waste em and share the keys with people.

And you guys are the recipients of this sharing of wealth! :)

BTW, my company is http://artofwarcentral.com .

I'd like to request a key! I want to try it out on my brother's laptop which has a DX11 GPU. Thanks in advance. :)

What error are you getting, if any?

Are you sure your PC has Windows 7 and a DX11 card?

No error's, Windows Event Viewer does have two crash errors ever time I try to start it......a standard "Faulting application, Crysis 3 MP Alpha.exe" and another that says "Windows cannot access the file blah blah........File: <no file given>".

I've tried a repair installation, running Origin as admin, running Crysis 3 MP Alpha as admin, disabling UAC, verifying a correct md5 hash on the game EXEs, trying the latest GPU drivers and older ones (some people had luck with the 12.8 drivers working, but not the newer ones) and of course redownloading and reinstalling the game from scratch.....nothing has worked and the devs (and alpha forums as a whole) have been unresponsive in assisting with getting it fixed.

Are you sure your PC has Windows 7 and a DX11 card?

Positive, Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit. ATI 6950 GPU....no on-board video so I can't disable that (nothing to disable).

Wait, what? How come I didn't see this thread until now, and how come I didn't know about a Crysis 3 alpha at all until now?! And how come I'm asking dumb questions?

Also, can I get a key? I know dumb question :(

I'd take one off your hands if there are any left. Played so much of Crysis 2 which was an amazing game but unfortunately burdened with so many problems and bugs, already read that they finally fixed the orbital strike bug though so my hopes are high :D

Has anyone found a way to enable SLI yet? I've tried a few suggestions posted online but none of them worked - the game either plays on a single card or crashes. The issue is that my primary resolution is 2560x1600, so I've had to drop it down to High settings to get a playable framerate. It's annoying because Crysis 2 fully supported SLI and I got 60fps at max settings.

The gameplay seems solid at least, which is a good start.

    • JetBrains' new AI-first 'IDE' JetBrains Air is now on Windows

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains' new AI-first 'IDE' JetBrains Air is now on Windows by David Uzondu JetBrains has announced that JetBrains Air, its Agentic Development Environment (ADE) is now available for download on Windows x64 and ARM. You might not be familiar with JetBrains Air. It's this new desktop app that the company launched back in March 2026 to let developers hand off tasks to AI agents instead of writing every line manually. You can see it as more of an Agentic Development Environment (ADE) rather than a traditional Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The latter builds its features around a central text editor, while the former arranges everything around the AI agent itself. Here's how JetBrains describes it: Air was born from the ashes of Fleet, an experimental editor that the company quietly killed in December 2025 after realizing that competing directly with VS Code was a losing battle. The company repurposed Fleet's lightweight, modern architecture to build Air, transforming a basic code editor into a workspace for running multiple AI agents. When Air launched, it was only available for macOS. It wasn't until earlier this month that Linux users got a chance to play with the software. Now that Air is on Windows, you can do things like map out a complex feature in Plan mode and watch an AI write the implementation plan to a markdown file before writing any code. You can iterate on this plan, add references to specific classes or files, and choose whether to run the agent locally or inside an isolated Git worktree. Running agents in parallel means you can have Claude refactor a database schema in one branch while Codex writes tests in another, leaving you free to do other important things. You can even set up a pipeline where Claude writes the code, and Codex reviews it. At the moment, Air is free. If you have a JetBrains AI Pro or Ultimate subscription, you get full access to the built-in agents, though there's also the option to Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) to run APIs from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. If you're interested, here are the download links for both x64 and ARM64.

    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      I'm using Windows 11 Pro 25H2 on "ancient" hardware, too: - Core i7 3770K - GTX 1050 2GB - 16GB DDR3 1333 MT/s It runs flawlessly, not a single issue. I also have it on other ancient setups, but I don't remember the exact specs right now (Intel 4th. generation).
