"Crysis has stopped working" Fix

There are many factors that can contribute towards game crashes. This list is not meant as a "fix-all". I am just listing what caused my game to stop crashing.

Issue

Crysis shows a blank/black screen when I run the game and the error message "Crysis has stopped working".

Possible solutions

• If you have a 64-Bit processor, make sure that you are running "Crysis.exe" and not "Crysis64.exe".
• Update your video drivers to the latest version:

  ATI: http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.HTML
• Make sure you are running the latest version of Crysis(1.2.1): http://www.crymod.com/filebase.php?fileid=1194
