Crysis Warhead Rygel HD Texture Mod

Nope, even the genuine Crysis from Origin just crashes before it loads

Yea, it makes it think it's not genuine and starts asking for the CD again

EDIT - Weirdly the editor works using the 64bit fix, but the game doesn't - although I can tell the editor to let me play and it works inside the editor

 

Did you try DX9 mode?

 

Yea, I put -dx9 on the shortcut target line and it tries to start in DX9 and then gives the same error, except it changes from CryRenderD3D10.dll to CryRenderD3D9.dll

Im thinking it just doesn't like these AMD drivers, because it worked fine under Win 7 with an older AMD GPU and drivers and people are saying it works under Win 8.1, but I've never had it working under 8.1 with a few different GPUs

 

AMD drivers suck for crysis series, been like that since 13.x, get weird artifacts and such. They dont care for older games i guess

 

Yea, I'm putting it down to drivers, it's strange though as Warhead works fine, and the Editor for Crysis 1 works fine, but the actual game doesn't

 

With the announcement of the Cryengine 5.6 and the spoiler of the end with the jungle of the Crysis he decided to dust off my "copy" of the game and apply this mod that comments on textures and that other users say that they are doing great.
The truth is that I am new to this and I have no idea how a Mod is installed and what he does of the files that Rygel downloads to make it work:

- I copied them as is and pasted in the path that puts in the block of notes. It doesn't work, it looks the same.
- I have renamed them by removing the word Update. It doesn't work, it looks the same.
- I have renamed them by removing the word Update and zz. It doesn't work, it looks the same.
- I have removed the original files and repeated the previous steps one by one, load up to 99%, black screen and return to the desktop.

Does anyone know how? What needs to be done step by step?

Thanks in advance.

 

Well Rygel's Textures were fine but I highly doubt most people would be able to tell the difference when loaded.

He are some texture taken from 3.5.8 Cryengine.They are a mess and not placed perfect but are runnable and you will notice the difference in some textures.

May cause crashing,hell even Windows 10 newer version will cause Crysis to crash I bet .

ANYWAY

Features:

- Compatible with Crysis, Crysis Warhead and Crysis Wars;

- Use of new textures, right out of the CryEngine 3.5.8 and Crysis 3 The Lost Island;

- At this time, textures are specially chosen so that there is no drastic change of appearance of the game. Everything is done in order to leave the original "atmosphere" of the original of 2007, but with higher quality textures;

- Now, attention is to minor layers of textures, in particular improved "Bump" (bump) or ".ddn" - components that give a flat textures larger volume;

Installation instructions: Unzip in the folder \Crysis\Game\


Advice (Tips):

* If any occur - or bugs (missing textures wheel jeeps, etc., simply delete the save file from the "C:\Users\Your user name or the name\Documents\My Games\Crysis\SaveGames", and then start a new game.

* If you have not replaced the texture, there were bugs - then in the directory *:\Program Files\Crysis\Game There are already other additional (besides the original) or texture fashion and banal game uses them first.

* If you do not see the difference between the new textures from the original (number of textures is an exact copy of the original, but much higher quality), just open them in Photoshop using the DDS plugin and comparing, make sure personally

 

apply the /LAA flag to the crysis exe and the crashing might be resolved.

 

Thanks gerardfraser for answering so fast and with tutorial included.

Finally it works, I've only tried in a specific area of the game but it looks great, I would revisit the original Crysis.

Also what I liked the most is that it retains the original image very well, it has been like removing a dense and dirty veil from specifically years ago in 2008.
Here I leave some of my captures, I will go up more since the page to upload the captures has entered into maintenance:

I was surprised that it is as simple as unzipping the file in the path you indicate, and I was going crazy trying things that occurred to me ...

Thank you very much for your help.

I have some questions as recently arrived in this world that I would like to know, and I think it may be useful to other users in my situation:
1st Is this method of decompressing the Text Mod file in that location the standard procedure for almost any game?
2nd What does Astyanax refer to with apply the / LAA flag to the crysis exe, what exactly needs to be done?
3º In the official download thread of the Mod there is a user who recommends modifying some files to improve the viewing distance level and reduce the depth of field among others, I have seen it in other games that other users comment, what files are, where are they, how do I modify them ?, are they good ?, specifically are these:

The C means that the custom commands are enabled to execute without any restrictions
c c
cl_crouchToggle = 1
; LEVEL OF DETAIL AT DISTANCE: set e_lods = 0 to have maximum detail at every distance at a large fps cost
e_lods = 0
e_lod_min = 0
e_lod_max = 3
e_lod_ratio = 10
e_view_dist_ratio = 80
e_view_dist_ratio_detail = 80
e_particles_lod = 0.7
e_view_dist_ratio_vegetation = 80
e_detail_materials_view_dist_xy = 4096
e_detail_materials_view_dist_z = 256

DEPTH OF FIELD AND MOTION BLUR
g_dof_ir
g_radialBlur = 1
g_dofset_minscale = 3
g_dofset_maxscale = 3
r_DepthOfField = 2
cl_hitblur = 1
cl_hitshake = 1 r_Moti

 

1.No it is not.
2.Windows10: Large Address Aware
3.Those commands are placed in a CFG file which is a configuration file format used for storing settings to be used by the game.

Here is a tweak guide for Crysis 1 to get you started. Crysis 1 also has over 3000+ commands so too many to list.Google can find the list easily.
https://www.tweakguides.com/Crysis_1.html

The screenshots are exactly how the modder intended the textures to look,he has done similar things for many games.He did not do every texture but who would really.Try Astyanax suggestion if you have problems with Crysis.

If you want to go a little further I tossed together hundreds of textures/mods/shaders with different time of day files to change the look of the game from original.You can check video below

 

Thank you very much for your help, I will investigate.

 

Sure no problem.Enjoy
