Upon first installing the patch, the patch installed, however, the game would not start up stating something along the lines of "main application failed to launch." I uninstalled the entire game and reinstalled it followed by the 1.1 patch. The game now shows a black screen but fails to respond soon after. This occurs on DX10 and DX9.

Problem signature:

Problem Event Name: APPCRASH

Application Name: crysis64.exe

Application Version: 1.1.1.5879

Application Timestamp: 47629fc0

Fault Module Name: StackHash_749f

Fault Module Version: 6.0.6000.16386

Fault Module Timestamp: 4549d372

Exception Code: c0000374

Exception Offset: 00000000000c87b7

OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.256.1

Locale ID: 1033

Additional Information 1: 749f

Additional Information 2: c96d88f1f26b9b3e2d3565bdb09da443

Additional Information 3: ddb5

Additional Information 4: dec0f0da0e53e1dd252d10ca40b8697e

I have downloaded the patch from two different sites. I receive the same problems from each patch.

Installed the patch without problems. The game seems a little smoother but it could just be the placebo effect, ie. 'it's patched so it must be better'. :$

It is smoother. It's been benchmarked on a few gaming/graphics forums around with that outcome (and a ton of comments saying as much).

To "fix" my above problem, you can only run the game by going into the application folder and running the 32bit exe. Using Vista Games Explorer fails to launch the game properly (I am guessing it is trying to load the 64bit exe). Running the 64bit exe does not work either.

Settings: Everything on 'High', Postprocessing on Very High ( With DX10 tweak ), 1650x1050.

Windows XP 1.0 - Avg. FPS ( GPU Test ): 32.04

Windows XP 1.1 - Avg. FPS ( GPU Test ): 38.49

Windows Vista ( Ultimate 64 Bit ) 1.0 Avg. FPS: 27.17

Windows Vista ( Ultimate 64 Bit ) 1.1 Avg. FPS: 29.01

The performance results for me.

The one that allows DirectX 10 effects under Windows XP - Tweak might not have been the correct wording.

I think is better to have Stability than performance, i mean, if i have a superb performance but stability sucks why should i need more performance?

(Crashes, Freezes, Slow downs, etc. All of them when stability sucks)

This patch brings more stability, at least for me, and that is what i need.

The hell you on about

True DX10-only coding can not be simply be ran on DX9 hardware, simple as. It can be ported but it will either be the same visually but slower or worse quality at a decent speed.

If you are having trouble running 64 bit like I was, check the following.

If you are using a 680i or 650 mobo along with the Nvidia 15.08 drivers, you might have installed Network Access Manager. 64 bit Crysis has issues with this software. Uninstall it via the control panel and all should be well.

It's a new OS with more features. On the same hardware, of course Vista will perform a little slower than XP. It's the same with most software, especially operating systems.

i'm not bothered about the performance difference, I like vista. Xp can go rot in a bin.

about the patch though, no fps difference for me. The only option I had was to upgrade my gfx card, now at least its a tad more playable, but in places the fps drops to 11, but tends to be around 29-34 in most areas, i'm only on level 2 though. I get quite a bit of lag in the middle of the village level.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Looks a very subjective aren't they!? I like its simple design. I love the way Apple designs their products with function over form, minimalization, and simplicity over cluttered complex designs. Many, not all, of their products follow this trend, and the device becomes a tool rather than dominating the space. I do not however like their OS. I have never bought a Apple product, and while I'd consider the Neo for my wife, I am hoping there are better alternatives out there when her failing MacBook Pro 2017 finally stops. Fischer-Price is famously plastic, garish, and poorly made. Basically you're describing the Window Laptops the Neo competes against! This is how product design should be, and what Apple have often followed in recent years: https://tenprinciples.design/
    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      Isn't that true for every codec? I remember having to buy a PCI MPEG-2 decoder card just so I could play DVDs on my computer back in the late 90s. AV1 support is still fairly new.

      I'm no Apple fan, and have never bought an Apple product for myself. But I'd argue that where you think Apple is behind regarding an OLED display, that the vast majority of people out there wouldn't even know or care for an OLED. Apple have struck the balance well to create a price point that works, and I hope that PC manufactures, and Microsoft take notice. I'd argue that Asus will struggle to compete with the Neo BECAUSE they put in a more expensive OLED that many people won't actually notice with its deeper blacks. Most people wouldn't care either that their screen is stuck at 60Hz! When I bought a 4k monitor (future proof and for the space), my laptop could only push that out at 30Hz, and it worked fine for my needs for 1.5 years! Heck, the average human eye can't see more than 90Hz in many situations!! So while they are trying to differentiate themselves, and it may well gain them a few customers, for the most part, I think they're missing the point of what the Neo is for.
    • Amazon Greenlights A New "Stargate" Series

      I disagree. Boomer execs only want one thing; money money money. The original fans of the series want a specific reboot that focuses on the vibe and feel of the original series. Boomers don't want that because then they can't have a 8 to 9 figure return. This was canceled because of greed. 
    • Meta rolls out Meta Business Agent globally on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Meta rolls out Meta Business Agent globally on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger by David Uzondu Image via Meta Meta is expanding Meta Business Agent, a feature that the social media giant promises will help businesses deliver "personalized experiences for customers using AI," launching the tech globally. Before this global release, Meta Business Agent used to be a free test called "Business AI" during a testing phase that started in October 2024. Meta picked India, Mexico, and Brazil to test the software, gathering data from over one million active shops that used the chat tools. The agent works on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger, helping shops answer customer questions, check incoming leads, book appointments, and recommend products from a catalog. Meta said that the business agent can match your brand's unique tone when speaking to customers, and that it plans to improve the feature to handle "daily operations" like market research, product insights, calendars, and rival research. Soon, users will find these AI-supported shops easily by typing names in the WhatsApp search bar. Image via Meta Apart from the Business Agent, Meta is also introducing the Meta Business Agent Platform, a new agentic platform that provides the infrastructure needed to build, customize, and run virtual helpers at scale. With the Platform, companies link their bots to services like Shopify, Zendesk, and Shopee using firm-level controls, guardrails, and metrics to define strict rules. This setup lets coders build custom behaviors, keeping customers happy with direct answers. Speaking of agents, you might have heard that hackers recently broke into Instagram accounts by simply asking the Meta AI support assistant on the mobile app to hand over control. You can check out our coverage on that here.
