Field of view (FOV)[edit]

This game uses vertical FOV. See FOV Calculator for help.
Edit game.cfg[citation needed]
  1. Go to %USERPROFILE%DocumentsMy GamesCrysis_WARHEAD
  2. Open game.cfg with a text editor.
  3. Enter the following line with the desired value:
  4. Right-click game.cfg -> Properties -> Set the file's attribute to Read-only as this keeps the desired value from changing to it's default value every time you exit the game.

Anisotropic filtering (AF)[edit]

1.5
Crysis: Warhead by default disables AF because the engine as-is does not support using AF with parallax occlusion mapping (POM). This mod allows the engine to use AF and POM at the same time.
Install the POM+AF mod to allow anisotropic filtering[citation needed]
  1. Download the POM+AF mod from here.
  2. Copy zz_GlobalAmbientLighting_pom_Af.pak to <path-to-game>Game
  3. Force anisotropic filtering in your graphics card control panel.

Crysis Patch 1 2 64 Bit

Hangs on startup[edit]

Run the 64-bit version of the game[citation needed]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>Bin64.
  2. Launch the crysis64.exe file to play the 64-bit version of the game.
Stop your antivirus or add the game to its exceptions[9]

Remapping dual wielding secondary fire to other keys[edit]

By default, mouse2 (mouse right click) is permanently mapped to the dual wielding secondary fire command, regardless of what mouse2 is actually mapped to in-game. The only way to remap the command is to manually edit the profile key map file.

Remapping the dual wielding secondary fire command[citation needed]
  1. Go to %USERPROFILE%DocumentsMy GamesCrysis_WARHEADProfiles<user-id>
  2. Open actionmaps.xml with Notepad.
  3. Go to the lines with <action name='attack2' onPress='1' onRelease='1'> <key name='mouse2' />
  4. Set the key name variable to another key.
    Ex. <key name='mouse3' />
  5. Save the file and launch the game.

Run the game at screen refresh rate[edit]

The game may set your monitor's refresh rate to 24/59/60 Hz, resulting in a lowered FPS when Vsync is on, and heavy screen stuttering even if FPS is high.
Set screen refresh rate[10]
  1. Install Special K by following the Unofficial Special K Guide. Manual local installation may work better.
  2. Start the game with the -dx9command line argument once and close it to allow the configuration file of Special K to be created.
  3. Open <path-to-game>Bin64d3d9.ini or %USERPROFILE%DocumentsMy ModsSpecialKProfilesCrysis.exeSpecialK.ini depending on the installation method you used.
  4. Change RefreshRate=-1 to RefreshRate=0 under [Render.FrameRate].
  5. Play the game with the -dx9command line argument.

Game is shifted to the right on the screen/runs in 59Hz mode/wrong refresh rate[edit]

Change refresh rate - automate with QRes[citation needed]

You can change your refresh rate manually each time you open and close the game.

OR

You can automate this with QRes:

  • Download QRes from Softpedia or Software.Informer
  • Extract QRes.exe into the Crysis Warhead Bin64 or Bin32 folder depending on whether you're using the 64-bit or 32-bit executable
  • Open Notepad
  • Copy and paste:
  • Go to File and then Save As...
  • Name it Crysis Warhead.bat, and then change Save as type from .txt to All Files
  • Save into the same Bin64 or Bin32 folder
  • Right-click Crysis Warhead.bat and click Create shortcut
  • Move this shortcut to wherever is easiest, say the desktop, replacing the original shortcut
  • Right-click the shortcut, click Properties, click Change icon, click Browse, navigate to the same Bin64 or Bin32 folder, select Crysis64.exe, and click OK twice
  • When you run this using the new shortcut, your screen will flash off and on again, shifted to one side. Press the Auto button or equivalent on your monitor to realign the screen before the game starts
  • When you exit the game, wait a few seconds, the screen will flash again, the command window will close, and you can press the Auto again

Console commands[edit]

Crysis Warhead Patch 1.5 Download

The console can be opened with ~, but the available commands are limited. This limitation can be bypassed by the con_restricted=0 command or by adding -devmode to the game's shortcut. A thorough list of console commands can be found here.

Instead of re-entering console commands every time the game starts, the file <path-to-game>system.cfg can be created to apply console commands automatically. The commands need to be formatted differently in the file, using an equal sign instead of a space. For example, to change the FOV to 80 you would use cl_fov=80 rather than 'cl_fov 80' like in the console.
