Crysis - can't load saved games
NuQ
all of the AA's and painted the munitions dump and it was blown up. I
got the Gauss gun from the plane and started heading towards the mines.
The game locked up and I haven't been able to load the last several
saves. I can load about 6 saves back and I can also start a new game.
It crashes to the desktop. Event viewer says...
Faulting application crysis.exe, version 1.1.1.6156, faulting module
cryaisystem.dll, version 1.1.1.6156, fault address 0x0001e54b.

Any ideas?

wait for the next patch ? You could try a full re-install after
putting the save-game directory in a safe place. And then try your
save games again....

Reminds me of Gothic 3. In G3, if you play too long,
your saves will start to corrupt because you are
running out of ram, and the game is failing to load
needed components. From that point on, all saves
will lack those components, and eventually try to
get them from the DVD. Then you lose your setup,
and crash. Crysis gets around that by using levels
... but the level you were in is very long, so I suspect
another G3-type error here. The fix is:
2 gigs ram ... manually put swap file to 2 gigs.
Don't play longer than one hour before doing a COLD
BOOT ... a warm boot won't garbage collect and clear
ram. Also, in a game like Crysis, you don't need to
whack everything in sight. Use stealth mode more
and sneak past the KPA. I think that prevents so
much area loading .. and re-loading .. which fills up
ram.

Did you find a fix for this? It's strange that your post is the only
thing returned on a Google search for the fault address - got the right
number?
1.2.1 was a hotfix meant (ironically) to fix crashes but of servers and
clients - did you need it? I'm not seeing issues on 1.2 so I'm not
patching. Perhaps roll back if that is possible?
I guess if you have a dual screen setup you could have task manager open
on one while playing to see if there is anything to johns theory on
memory. Personally I thought the known memory leaks were fixed with the
patches.

I meant to post back... It wasn't really a fix, but I was able to
continue the game. I just loaded the last save that would load w/o
crashing and replayed through the trouble area and was able to save/load
as usual. Can't remember how long I played at a time. I tend to not
play for long stretches, maybe 45 minutes at the most.
