Additional Comments

Works flawlessly with a custom build Wine engine. Patched with: http://bugs2.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=27310 and http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=15638 You do this to make the mouse work right (to "activate" the second patch ): http://repo.or.cz/w/wine/hacks.git?a=commit;h=d84f68a188135abb5f6249671615b8e078b8eb24 Apply a No-CD crack set winver to XP Set the screen options to Virtual Desktop! ------ For DirectX 10 (keep the winver to XP!) Find the DirextX 10 for XP installer 1. Open up the crysis folder, then the Bin32 folder 2. You should see 2 DLL's, one named CryRenderD3D9.dll and one other named CryRenderD3D10.dll Swap the names of it into "tricking" to use the DX10 for XP patch

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
