How To Fix Crysis 3 Not Launching
Crysis 3 is meant to be run on DirectX 11 supported cards so if you don’t own one, this can be the main reason behind the error/crash. If you own a DirectX 11 supported card, make sure you are. I can't launch this game even in DirectX 9 mode. Open the folder (C: Users Your username Documents My Games Crysis) and delete Profiles folder, then try to launch game again. Crysis was released in 2007. It has a very complicated and old engine. There are a lot of reasons that can cause problems. I'm not a developer of this game.
- After installation completes run Games For Windows and sign in to your account, now you can either exit the app or leave it minimized
- Now to open the game, (important step) right-click on dirt3.exe in the game's installation folder or on your desktop shortcut and select 'Run as administrator' and wait for it (you will have to run it as administrator every time), these steps worked for me
- Now if it fails to open the game try opening dirt3.exe in compatibility mode for Windows 7 or Windows Xp and it should work with any one of them
- Enjoy playing Dirt 3! Comment for more Help.
