Additional Comments

There cant be to much work involved to get some FPS's for this tile cause it allready starts and runs out of the box. To have this title running nicely would be an asset to wine and linux alltogether. It has extreme graphics effects and a very nice gameplay.

Howto:
If you're using ATI hardware there may be even worse problems since their drivers suck (for now)

• Use Wine 1.1.5 or newer with MouseWarpOverride=force. The mouse will not work properly in the menu. You will have to navigate with the keyboard after left-clicking once.
  
• Put d3dx9_36.dll and XINPUT1_3.dll in windows/system32. You can get them from a DLL site like dll-files.com
• Install the game and use a Crack on it 
• Set OffscreenRenderingMode=fbo
  
• Set Shaders to High, else you will get graphical problems
• You will get extremely bright HDR. So add r_glow = 0 to My Documents/My Games/Crysis/game.cfg. Remove write-permissions to stop Crysis from butchering the file at every restart
  

Issues:

• FPS are even worse than on Windows (~15 FPS on a 8600GT low settings except shaders). Don't even try to run the game on hardware lower than a GF8 it will not work!
  
• Severe graphical corruption
• Sound may vanish under some circumstances
• Movies don't have sounds at all
  
• Crysis will freeze whenever it feels like it 
• FPS will drop to below 1 at some resolutions
• Also FPS may suddenly drop at any point, usually accompanied by graphical corruption. Restart the game and reload the level to fix this
  
• The patcher will not work in Wine
