1. Crysis Warhead Offline Activation Patch

This First Method Requires That You 'Own' Crysis Warhead.About half an hour ago I purchased Crysis(Steam), Crysis 2(Origin), Crysis Warhead(Steam), and Crysis 3(Origin). I have yet to test my Origin downloads but neither Steam version would launch. I was getting really upset as I had purchased these games from a Third Party Source. No matter what patches I tried to download or anything of that sort fixed Crysis. So I tried launching Crysis Warhead, same freaking error! Checked the files in Warhead and was surprised to see a 'Bin64' folder! I Immediately double clicked on the 64bit application and the game launched!

Praise Gaiben!

In my testing today. The Steam version of Crysis 1 runs really well with wine-staging 3.16 and DXVK 0.72 plus d3dcompiler43 as native. Using the Nvidia beta driver 396.54.06 and a Geforce 970M (3Gb) card. So: winetricks dxvk72 d3dcompiler43Crysis is pretty playable in DX10 mode, at Very High settings, with this setup (testing with 2560x1440p).I've literally been waiting years for this game to run well under Wine! So thanks to Valve, and all the guys at Codeweavers!I haven't tested out Nvidia's env variables yet: GLSHADERDISKCACHEPATH=.GLSHADERDISKCACHESKIPCLEANUP=1Basically, because I wanted a before and after comparison.Hopefully Proton will get updated to the DX10 enabled DXVK builds - soonish?Crysis doesn't start with the current Proton release: 3.7-6. Just did a fresh install, got the license server issue the first time I tried to start it, after that the game launches to a black screen for like 1 second before crashing.

I had the exact same result with crysis warhead.Oddly enough, when I tried to launch with a cracked exe file, the game would launch but hang instead of crash. I got the same exact behavior with crysis warhead, however when I tried launching 64 bit crysis the game launched if I disabled esync, and I could hear the audio, but there was no video lol.To run 64 bit crysis warhead, I replaced the bin32 diretory with the bin64 directory and renamed crysis64.exe to just crysis.exe for anyone who wants to try that. I heard that you can also execute the original crysis with the same binaries but I didn't try it. I got it working out of the box on proton on DX9 only (DX10/DXVK workaround below), performance is rather shoddy, getting 20-30fps on 980-Ti. But it works, and if you have decent hardware at the right resolution, works well.These are the launch options I needed.PROTONNOESYNC=1%command% -dx9Alternative launch options that also worked:PROTONNOD3D11=1 PROTONNOESYNC=1%command%It works for both crysis and crysis warhead.(Update) to get around the license issue, there are two ways, the first one is to download a cracked exe file and run the game from that via steam once, you should then be able to replace it with the original exe without issue.

On DXVK, I can get 50-60fps at 4K/UHD with very high settings, if I set shaders to High. Setting Shaders to medium brings FPS up above 100 with an average of 120.There is however an issue with flickering shaders(?) on trees, extreme example: (it's usually not that bad, and only affects leaves normally, but here we can see it affecting a whle tree)The amount of flickering foliage can be reduced drastically by reducing object quality to high or lower, don't set it to very high or you will get flickering everywhere. I heard that there's a fix for this in the next nvidia driver update. How can I run the benchmarks? I want to impress people with my Linux pixel pushing power.E: DX9 performance is abysmal, how do I get DX10 working? I've even run winetricks d3dcompiler43 on the prefix already, nothing.Are you sure you correctly installed d3dcompiler43? Did you properly disable ESync?

I only got a black screen before I installed the d3dcompiler43 so you should always double check if you installed it correctly. If it still is not working, you need to confirm that you can in fact launch any DXVK game at all, you might not have driver support for vulkan, or it might not be properly set up on your system yet.I also updated the earlier post with explanations for how I worked around the license error issue.besides fixing the license error issue. I didn't need to do anything, however there was a that is solved with the transform feedback extension. For nvidia users, this is only supported by the vulkan beta driver (396.54.09 or newer) do not think you have this even if your version number is higher.

I got minimum 15.9 fps and average 45, on the RX 480 listed here.E: Got it working.

It simply never occurred to me that I just may need to have installed mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386 on my system for a 32 bit game, heh. The game launches on my set up in DX10 modebut the screen is black. I can here the intro videos playing then the menu loading and the sounds of the menu but everything is pitch black.
