Crysis was released seven years ago and thanks to its modding community, Crytek’s title still remains one of the most beautiful games out there. Guru3D member ‘CryZENx’ has released a new Shader mod that enhances the game’s lighting, while another member from Guru 3D, gerardfraser, has released a pack compilation with the best textures for Crysis.
Those interested can download the Texture Pack Compilation from here. On the other hand, the new Shader Mod can be downloaded from the links found on CryZENx’s YT video.
Here are some instructions on how you can install the Shader Mod:
1. Go to your Crysis original game folder which is located in C:/programs(x86)/EA Games/Crytek/Crysis/game or Steamapps/common for STEAM and rename the “Levels” folder into “Levels1”.
For steam users delete ZPatch1.pak in game folder
____________________________________________________
2. In case there is a game, editor, bin32 and bin64 folder and autoexec.cfg and system.cfg in (CRYZENX MOD) (also had been the case for me), simply mark everything there and just copy everything in your Crysis original folder and REPLACE if needed 🙂Problems:
For Win7 you need to start over 32bit for SweetFX!
For Win8.1 users SweetFX wont work!!! you need to start 64bit to play without SweetFXDont change ANY game settings in the menu… or it will look different !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I made my own settings in Autoexec.cfg and system.cfg
Depth of Field ON and OFF Switch BINDS: P and O
Motion blur Amount Less or More Switch BINDS: K and L
And here are some instructions for the Texture Pack Compilation:
1.Best results is to play in devmode.
ADD(-devmode)to crysis target line in shortcut to game.
Looks like:C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis.exe -devmode2.Unzip/extract all files to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis3.Click on the installer to install Time Of Day files/Textures/POM Textures\Custom Shaders.
To uninstall Time Of Day files clcik on ToDONLY-Uninstall.
To remove all the other stuff replace ZPatch1.pak(C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Games) with the file ZPatch1 from the Remove ZPatch1 Folder.4.To load all weapons/cheats press` in game to open console and type exec autoexec.cfg

b..bu..bu..but modding ruins the game!
Wondeful and this really shows that the world have gone to SH*TE!
By all means, if we were asked when Crysis was released in 2007, what about 2015? How good will the games look?
Everyone would have belived a hell of a lot better then it is, maybe CGI quality. And thanks to the piss poor weak PS4/Xbone Pc gaming is hold back once again, this time for atleast 5 years or so!
So there you have it, we are/will get the same ole crap of what we have in 15 years or so. Mark my words, by 2018 – 2019 the games still looks the same even with a Dx14. Just slightly better effects with more shaders etc. So in the end the world have gone to SH*ITE!
No progression more like degression. F*CK F*CK F*CK might aswell quit gaming as graphics are the same F*CKN CRAP!!

but duuuuude havent you heard? The new consoles can achieve cgi quality.
PFTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!
Awesome!!!! this is what PC is meant for but now a days we only get crappy console port and chit…
Well those textures certainly aren’t much of an improvement. I actually prefer the original look on most of these. Generally speaking (not that apparent in this case, but still), people seem to not know that good textures arent just some high-res grainy tiles which show very noticable seams if not looked at from up close, and they need to have texture on several scales, not just the grainy hi-res noise.
I don’t really like those textures, I prefer to turn texture streaming off, use AF POM mod and high resolution foliage mod.
yeah some of those textures are gross.
Same here. Good thing its not just me then. 🙂 Cool water effects btw. I always wanted to see a wave like effect for the water
If only it didn’t come with that POS Securom. They didn’t even reomove it from the Steam version,
If you run Crysis from the exe rather than Steam it will run without Steam
But that doesn’t prevent Securom from being installed.
No because the game doesn’t require a disk check, that’s all Securom did and I don’t see any files that match it.
Go to Regedit and you will find Securom after you install Crysis from Steam. It is alive and well, I once changed soundcards while having Crysis (Steam edition) installed, went to play Crysis, and bam securom error pops up, due to change in hardware configuration.
Legendary game.
wow, just wait until I get my hands on a gtx970 😀 I’ll give u carbon emission rates, that’s for sure. And I know that card has a low power consumption, but I’ll use it a lot!
WTF are those textures?
With just a few mods I like Vanilla best and some console command tweaks.Runs in the 30-40s at 4K.

original looks better
i don’t like it, looks overdone.
Blah, beauty means very little, gameplay does or why else would CRYtek be owned by Deep Silver nowadays? Served them right if I may be so polite.
They aren’t, Deep Silver just bought Homefront, only to then cancel it any way.
And gameplay wasn’t a problem for Crysis. Crysis’ gameplay was fine and could have been even better had EA allowed them to properly support the game.It became a problem with 2 and 3, because they dumbed it down for consoles. 2 and 3 didn’t sell well, that’s why Crytek is in trouble these days.
Speaking deep from my gut and the fun I had “back in the days”, personally I think they should bring back good Ole’ Power Struggle maps, you actually had vehicles and all that stuff and it was more like battlefield. Nice, wide open maps like Beach and Shore, to name a few. You can fly around the map gunning down enemy players from a VTOL, or maybe grab a tank and blast down some fences. Heck they even had parachuting and skydiving in Crysis 1. What the hell happened in Crysis 2 and 3?!
Not sure what to think about the screenshots and those textures, but videos looks pretty good. I like the music in the second one.
Maybe you could somehow install all those FX improvements without installing the textures, and combine them with some other texture mod.
Well console peasants should know that Crysis 1 is still more technically advanced than that garbage called FC4, which is using the same shtty OLD engine developed for Xbox360 hardware.
You should also check out Black Fire’s mod.
Is it? It is certainly more advanced than anything on ps3/x360 but far cry 4 is pretty good looking.
Yeah but it’s just not there in terms of physics like Crysis still. FC2 did a pretty good job against Crysis at the time though on the PC. FC2 tried to do a dynamic open world and succeeded pretty well at it, just without the insane requirements like Crysis.
Funny thing, if you go to far cry wikia and look at far cry classic, apparently they made the maps smaller, removed sections put walls so the game can hide your view while loading objects due to the low ram on consoles and they removed ALL physics.
2004 game, cant be run on ps3/x360.
Man, this makes me wonder if valve is actually gonna make hl3 now that the new consoles arent utter sht like the ps3 was and they got alot of ram.
He is right, FC4 is just the PC version of FC3. They got to drop some of the oldest legacy code (if they are smart) but they didn’t add much new. It barely looks better than FC3. If it looks more detailed that’s mostly due to the “mountains” skybox where there was plain ocean in FC3.
Not really the water is better, the enviroment is more complex textures are more detailed theare are some pretty impressive enviromental effects. Definetly not next gen but certainly looks better than fc3.
Trust me, from a technical standpoint all that stuff could have been in Far Cry 3. The water is better?? What does that mean, a new texture and a slightly rewritten shader? Please. These are cosmetic touch ups to an engine dev. Ubisoft’s tech teams must have been working on something else (R6 or AC I guess) because Far Cry 4 looks almost identical and runs a lot worse than FC3. That’s another thing you’re neglecting. You have to compare fidelity and performance. Even if FC4 looked drastically better the performance hit would still be inexcusable.
Well ill put it this way, the lighting is better, the trees are better, the water is better textures are more detailed it has a diffirent streaming system. Someone tried to port stuff from fc3 and he found out that they are not the same assets but they have been rewritten from scratch and i even tried to turn famas in full auto with the way it was done in fc3, but i couldnt find the files, so even the file system is diffirent. Plus dx11 and 64 bit only and ofcourse the nvidia effects.
Far cry 4 has better graphics than 3 and it uses diffirent streaming method and was ported by a diffirent studio.
This game looks so dull without blackfire’s mod.
I don’t think it installed correctly. Those screenshots look nothing like the video. The video actually looks good whereas in the screenshots I prefer the original verison.
Even in 4K the palm leaves still look terrible. Good old Crysis.
They look fine, just make sure you’re not looking at the shots zoomed in on a less than 4K screen.
