Field of view (FOV)[edit]
- This game uses vertical FOV. See FOV Calculator for help.
Edit game.cfg[citation needed]

Anisotropic filtering (AF)[edit]
- 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]

Crysis Patch 1 2 64 Bit
Hangs on startup[edit]
Run the 64-bit version of the game[citation needed]
|
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]

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]

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:

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.
