I'm in the level, with the pretty Asian scientist we are trying to get out. I think it's called "Recovery". I'm supposed to clear the way for one of the others, I think Psycho to get her away. After I slaughter all the soldiers , the two tanks roll in and no matter what I do the freaking tanks won't die. I put every rocket available in the compound(12-15) in to just one tank and nothing happens. The tanks simply will not blow up either in 32 bit or 64 bit . I didn't have this issue the last time I played several years back. Really frustrating.

You have probably already tried this, but you have to shoot at the turret section where the cannon and machine gun are placed. Shooting the lower part of the tank does absolutely nothing IIRC.
I played that level yesterday and I did shoot on every part of the two tanks. No problems at all.
You might have run into a odd bug..
Following on, I have the same problem.
Just bought Crysis from GOG and am stuck in Recovery mission.
Rescued hostage and been told by Psycho to kill tanks.
I have been trying, fired all of the missiles I could find and even went so far as to
apply an infinite ammo cheat, but cannot kill them.
I have fired dozens of missiles at the turret (supposedly does the job after 3 missiles),
sides, back, top, turret/body join but nothing works.
Others with this problem have said shoot the turret, get close behind it and shoot etc. Nothing works.
Help Please !!
Only thing I can think of is that you have missed a trigger somewhere. With several players running into the same problem, I would call it a bit of bad code.

Walk around hoping to trigger that trigger? No idea what else to suggest.

Another edit, just occurred to me that since you're close to the end of the level, as a last resort you could use the console to skip to the next one. I think typing the following into the console will load the next level "map harbor" without the quotation marks. You can open the console by pressing tilde key (the button normally under Escape, before 1,2,3).

I don't remember if you need to activate devmode to skip levels, if you do it's easy by adding " -devmode" to the shortcut target so it looks something like this.... "C:\Games\Crysis\Bin32\Crysis.exe" -devmode

(Edit: Sorry I was thinking of a different bug at the same point, one where once you kill the tanks the game doesn't seem to acknowledge it, though I'll leave this up anyway incase it helps)......



This is an old bug in the game, really old bug.

From what I remember there's two things you can do, and something you might be able to do to avoid the bug happening, though unfortunately I don't remember the thing that might help avoid it (you had to go to a certain place before going to another, a search might turn up something).

Though if you do run into it you could restart the mission and it might not happen again, which isn't a very reassuring thought.

Or you can run to the next objective even though it isn't being displayed, once you get there I think the next level loads and things continue as they should.

So once you get the message that you've destroyed the tanks and then seem stuck, head out of the village/camp and go South-East, up into the mountains along a small path, once you leave the town it should only take about 20 seconds to find a waterfall.

Get to the top of the waterfall and just keep going, you're on a linear path or valley if I remember right so you can't get lost and just follow the river. You should encounter some more enemies and dead bodies and eventually end up at a cave, once you enter the cave the level should end.

You don't miss much, maybe a bit of voice-over but it's not like you're playing Crysis for the story.

I dont believe it !!!
Exited Recovery as suggested, by map harbor.
Arrived at the stage where I have to destroy AA vehicles and get the same thing again !!
Dozens of missiles, 2 or 3 c4 packs - no effect whatever !!
Sorry for the !!! but I am getting extremely frustrated with it.
Is there another way to destroy these things or is it the same bug again ?
Seriously considering asking for refund over this - really a game stopper.
Uninstalled and reinstalled, no difference. Still cannot damage tanks or AAA vehicles with C4 and/or missiles.
Last resort, will try redownloading.

It's a bug in the game. Restarting the level (playing it from the beginning) might help.

Redownloading isn't gonna help, and you could just have the installer check the files before installing if you were suspecting corruption.

Uninstalled, redownloaded and installed again. Had to reinstall a couple of times before it would run, though, black screen.
Loaded savegame in village just before trying to destroy tanks, fired missile launcher, and lo and behold, 3 missiles and the tank exploded, destroyed them with no problems at all. Just have to wait and see if the same happens again with the AAA vehicles, fingers crossed.

BTW the village seems to be less than half way through, so skipping by using "map harbor" misses out a great deal of the level.
Now this is also happening to me on my second playthrough. I can't kill either tanks or AA's with two rockets for each. So I had to spawn some RL's to complete those missions.

I'm not sure two is supposed to be enough.

I played on the hardest difficulty and it took me four rockets per tank. There are more than enough missile launchers lying around for that.

I play on easy, the game is hard enough for me as it is. :( So by that difficulty, only two rockets or one C4 is enough.
Problem seems to have gone away after redownloading. Destroyed 2 AA vehicles so far, now for the third.
Thanks guys for the input. I've played this game for years and never had any issues with the game before. Just strange. I knew of the bug where the dead tanks don't resister from me looking for a fix online for my issue but not of the invulnerable tanks.

I don't really want to reinstall or skip to the next map so don't know what I will decide to do at this point. it's possible I missed a trigger somewhere as I drove the road from the beach to the mine field like a bat out of hell . Oh well off to give it another try
