Dunno i didnt run Crysis on 64 ,but IIRC most people reported better performance or less stuttering esp with explosions and loadings. so there is still hope!

I ran it under 32bit on XP. Crysis, Vista and myself just do not mix. ::

maybe when I get a 295GTX2 thingy. ::

I upgraded from Vista x86 to Vista x64 and there was a nice performance increase. It's all smoother now too. I'm pretty sure the patch will introduce 64 bit support, since Crysis Wars got it with patch 1.1. What I'm really hoping for is PunkBuster to update to 64 bit.

Sweet.

I put off playing for a while, I'll be able to start playing it with 64bits of power.

Anyone know if it actually does anything?

Still no fix for the dreadful crysystem.dll crash error for XP? I am a bit disappointed in that. I've already finished the game, but I am replaying it at the moment and can't get my recent saves to fully load without encountering an error at 82%.

[Hagen Nordheim]

what are the benefits of 64 bit support?, are they performance benefits?

I'm playing it right now on Vista x64.

This is good news. I get good performance, but my game crashes mysteriously, and my GPU temps aren't to blame.

IF its an error at 82%,its most likely a flowgraph error.Hit alt & tab same time,Then click ok on error and when done,ALT & enter to resume game.
