If you are desperate enough:

You can try this old fix - apparently this is a cryengine problem from way back when.

You would have to work around file names and locations, but the idea is the same:

Step 1

Right click and open the properties of the Crysis shortcut on your desktop or start menu, at the end of the TARGET line add "-dx9". This will force Crysis to start in DirectX 9.

Example:

64bit version
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Bin64\Crysis.exe" -dx9

32bit version
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Bin32\Crysis.exe" -dx9

Step 2 (Optional for first try)

Right click and open the properties of the Crysis shortcut on your desktop or start menu, Click on the Compatibility tab. In the drop down menu under "Run this program in compatibility mode for", select "Windows Vista (Sevice Pack 2)". Then try to launch the game again. You can also change the compatibility mode to "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)".

Hope these steps are able to help!!

Unfortunately seems like wolcen doesn't support dx9. There is no CryRenderD3D9.dll in the win_x64 folder and it's not possible to run the game with the r_driver = "dx9" config parameter. Adding -dx9 to executable has no effect.

The interesting thing here is that i'm able to run offline game. So seems like the problem is not in the rendor method

Hi,

I have the same problem, offline works fine but when I try to play online the screen goes black. I can still see the cursor but it never goes beyond that screenn. I found old threads from 2018 beta testers with this issue but nobody had an actual solution. Would be good to know if there is an actual fix for this?

Thanks,
