Crysis ~ Ultra High Quality Custom Config

Hélder [HP] Pinto – Ultra High Quality Custom Config V1.3 Final

Increase the quality of Crysis with this Ultra High Quality Autoexec.
This autoexec includes all the features and graphics improvements available on Very High (Dx10).

This config has been tweaked to run Crysis within it’s maximum beauty, while still getting minimally smooth/playable FPS!
Minimum System recommended is a Nvidia 8800, 2GB RAM and a fairly good dual core CPU.

- Better shadows
- HDR
- Parallax Mapping
- Very high quality textures, terrain and vegetation
- Lightning improved
- High Quality particles
- Tweaked Lods for best FPS/Quality relation.

Installing:
1. Paste the “CVarGroups” folder into the folder “*:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Game\Config”, and overwrite the existing one. (Backup you’re old one if you want)
2. Go ingame and set all the Graphics Settings to HIGH.
3. Paste the file “autoexec.cfg”, under the root of you’re Game folder, “*:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Game”.
