im tearing my hair out with this, i have an original Crysis DVD-Rom and i want to install the game on my windows 10 64bit laptop, unfortunately the installation stalls at 'Updating Component Registration' and then it wont proceed.
The disk is not physically damaged in any way as i'm very careful with all my game disks.
Can anyone help me complete the installation please?
Thanks
Kev

You must run the 64bit version. If you are doing that and still have problems, you could contact support as it should run.

EDIT: Sorry my head is foggy. Of course you cannot get GOG support help with a disc....

Pretty sure support won't help with that. Could be the DRM not run-able by default anymore on 10.

Of course you are right and I think your guess about the drm is a possible culprit. Never buy games with drm!

I blame my fever.

Looking here: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Crysis they also suggest running the 64bit executive if game hangs on installation. Remember to patch it also.

Maybe you also need to install DirectX 10.whatever-was-the-last-one next to DX12?

Ironically it was EA support that sent me the link (url) to the GOG forums to try solve this!! Got it running at last. Solution was to copy the whole DVD to a folder on the hard drive then run the installer from the folder in compatibility mode!

Good :-) Enjoy! You need to scroll down to get to higher resolutions in the list.
