If you have bought the RU version of Crysis 3, which is region free, but only includes russian language by default then this page will be useful for you. This page has been created to help our customers get the RU version of Crysis 3 to function in English.
The russian or polish version of Crysis 3 is fully region free, however Origin only downloads the russian language packs by default. In order to make the game function in english, it's necessary to manually download the english language pack. CJS CD Keys has taken care to carefully create an easy-to-follow tutorial that describes the steps required to make your russian copy of the game function in English.
Once you've activated the code, press 'install' or 'preload'. Origin will prompt you to select a language. At this point, only russian will be available. Don't worry! Just press 'Accept' to start downloading the game. We'll install the english language pack a little later.
We offer a number of high-speed download links for Medal of Honor Warfighter language patch. The download size is around 500mb for the English Language Pack. Please select from one of the links below to download:
Now, we need to simply change your game configuration, to tell it to play in English. Currently, your game is configured to start in Russian. We need to tell your game to look at the English language files. You can do this in 2 minutes:
I haven't tried to contact the CryTek Technical Support yet. I was exposing my reasoning behind what I observed myself and from others. I have doubts that AMD or CryTek wouldn't know that...You never know
I know this is like 2 months old at this point but I "tried" to play through Crysis 1 and 3 again because they were re-released on Steam and figured they were now the same as the updated Origin versions and it turns out Crysis 1 is not, Crysis 3 IS but it still requires Origin to run which is obnoxious. From what I've been reading only the 5000 series and Vega cards are having major performance issues, the RX 400 and 500 series is still fine. But, I have a 5700XT and the performance in all of the Crysis games is atrocious. I go from like 160FPS solid on my 1440p 144Hz monitor with nearly all settings maxed to constant FPS hiccups, stuttering and straight FPS drops with low GPU and CPU utilization for seemingly no reason in Crysis 1, in Crysis 3 it seems to be looking in certain areas causes it, I also get layered texture issues where they'll start to disappear the closer I am to them, such as posters on buildings in Crysis 3 and some ground effects and such in Crysis 1. I don't remember having that issue on my RX 580 or my R9 290 or my HD 6870. I've tried the lowest settings, even modified to be even lower than the lowest with cvar editors and it makes no difference.
I am on the most current and the drivers are clean, I have a master list of all the files used by the AMD drivers and make sure they're gone after using the AMD Cleanup utility and DDU and they were indeed gone. I said that only Vega and 5000 series are affected in my first post so your 480 and 1060 won't be affected. Kingdom Come has the same issue but there's a cvar that fixes it, that cvar doesn't exist in C1-3 though so definitely an issue with CryEngine and AMD.
I'd just like to mention that this week I upgraded to a Ryzen 7 3700X and ASUS Prime Pro X570 mobo and the issue is gone. My FPS has sky rocketed to 200+FPS highs with a mix of mostly high settings and never drops below 100FPS. Could be command over flow in the GPU pipeline when the data is sent through the CPU to the GPU as that was the only change I made to my system and the 3700X's single core IPC is massivle higher than the FX-8370 I was running before. Still the same 5700XT and drivers. I didn't even reinstall Windows 10, I just slapped the components in and let Windows 10 configure itself and installed the chipset driver package for AM4 boards.
Apparently Nvidia managed to introduce a bug in their drivers, which made Crysis 3 stutter and even have severe framedrops. The solution is to enable Ultra low latency mode in the Nvidia control panel. In this clip you can see, just how much the game stabilizes in the frametime graph in upper right corner, once Ultra low latency is activated. As a side note, setting it to "on" doesn't do the trick, it needs to be set to "ultra"!
A good example is in the first level where you get to the steam rooms with large spinning cylinders the FPS tanks hard with very low utilization and CPU grunt barely makes a difference in these scenes.
Testing on Windows 10 with FX 8350 gave me 20FPS in that scene and then with an i5 8400 gave me 30FPS in the same scene with RX 480, but then testing on pre- RX 480 supported drivers and an i5 4670k system with Windows Home 64-bit gave me 50FPS and 100%GPU utilization in the same scene.
After seeing this problem, I researched and I hope this fixes it for you and also try it for the other games you listed that have bad framerate drops. Please post here or make a new post with the problem and a fix for other games if you can.
Games based on CryEngine have decreased performance on Windows 10 vs 7 on AMD cards[13]. Consider using Windows 7 along with TimerTool set to 0.5ms for the best performance[14] (also on Windows 8). Vega series GPUs also perform worse than RX series on Windows 10 in CryEngine games in comparison to Windows 7[15].
Thank you for your efforts in putting together those troubleshooting steps, but like I said the reason I know the problem is on Windows 10 is because I actually reverted to Windows 7 at the time to confirm that it was working much better on Windows 7, which is how I ended up starting this post: -vulkan/crysis-3-low-fps-drops-low-gpu-utilization-with-rx-480/td...
r_BatchType = 1 is able to be edited in the game.cfg, if it's not there add it and you have to set the file to read only through Win 10 or it will ignore the value, you have to force it. I am not sure if this helps as I tried many different things to find a fix, so this is optional.
This fix may work for all AMD cards for example RX 480, RX 580, Vega, etc. I have not tried it yet on them, I can report that it works perfect on my RX 6700 XT system and I hope you can get it working, Crysis 3 is still an amazing game and with these fixes it runs excellently.
RX 580 4 GB Win 10, it would be great if it is fixed in the drivers. This fix works for me, if you email AMD about it they more than likely will say they are optimizing for new games. Unfortunately it's a reality that older games don't sell hardware or really get more money for game publishers. So any fix is a good fix. Try it, if it doesn't work with your system configuration please reply so others will know.
Thank you, but like I said I have tried this and it did not help at all. In addition, in no world is it acceptable to lose performance so that new games good look fancy with high frame-rates on youtube videos.
I agree with you on it should be fixed in the drivers. Maybe it won't be a difficult task would be my hope. Unfortunately the reality is unless lots of people complain loudly most likely nothing will be done, as shareholders have more say than customers. I don't like it either except it is true.
Great to know the issue was solved last year, however, even though I have a RX 6800 XT I had the same issue with low FPS and 50% GPU Usage. After do that changes, everything improved really well. Therefore I guess this topic should be closed.
If I were you, I would report this problem to AMD, since you should not be getting low GPU utilizations due to the default values of those settings that you have modified. Especially, if you have a modern CPU as well.
I understand your feeling. Unfortunately I have reported this issue to AMD since April of the last year and they were not be able to give me a solution. Maybe is not time to close this issue, but being honest I believe AMD is not taking care about it, this is and "OLD" game and looks like they don't care anymore.
