I can't launch this game even in DirectX 9 mode. Open the folder (C: Users Your username Documents My Games Crysis) and delete Profiles folder, then try to launch game again. Crysis was released in 2007. It has a very complicated and old engine. There are a lot of reasons that can cause problems. I'm not a developer of this game. 3 Crysis 1 and Warhead had amazing weather effects. No idea if battlefield will ever come close to that but just imagine 1 single map being completely changed by various weather conditions not a transition as such but more like a different version of the same exact map like in Forza Horizon 4.
