Crysis Wars is an enhanced multiplayer version of the popular game Crysis, developed by Crytek. It was released as the multiplayer companion to Crysis Warhead in the form of a free bundle on a separate disc.
Unfortunately, the game was affected by the 2014 GameSpy shutdown, leaving many unable to continue playing online. To address this, the CryServ multiplayer platform was created in June 2014 to keep Crysis Wars alive.
Over the years, CryServ has fixed many of the original bugs, added numerous improvements and optional features, and introduced additional weapons and items that integrate seamlessly into the core gameplay. Key features of the network include:
- Improved anti-cheat system
- Custom client-side mod with hundreds of bug fixes, improvements and new features
- Custom server-side mods (BASE and nTEC) to host your own servers
- Cross-server player stats system
- Custom server banners
- Server list accessible via CryServ website
- Discord integration
- Regular updates
- Downloads for new multiplayer maps and more
CryServ supports the GOG and DVD versions of Crysis Wars. It can also be used with the free Crysis Wars Trial version available for download right from ModDB.
Getting started is easy:
- Download and install the Crysis Wars Trial if you don't own the game already. Be sure to also install Patch 1.5.
- Download and install the CryServ Client from CryServ website
- Launch the game through one the CryServ shortcuts and join a server!
The Steam version is also supported with slightly different steps - ask about this on the Discord if interested.
CryServ helps keep this forgotten multiplayer gem alive with regular updates, new content, and an active community. Whether you're a long-time fan or discovering Crysis Wars for the first time, come join the fun!

Prologue
Cyrillic chat support is something I wanted to implement in the game for a long time, and with the help of AlyxOne, it's finally here in this update. To prevent the whole thing from ending up in cryptic characters on the server side, a corresponding adjustment has been made there as well.
In addition, the missile launcher's target display would occasionally flicker during target acquisition, especially for fast moving VTOLs and helicopters, so the entire targeting system was reworked to address this and other shortcomings of the original code.
We hope that those of you who can and want to use the things added here will like these changes 🙂 ...
Patch Notes

- The AscMod missiles and the rocket launcher have been tweaked for balance reasons due to the improved target acquisition.

Remarks
For all existing profiles, L-ALT is used to switch the chat language. This can be annoying, especially when switching between applications in Windows while the chat is open. If this bothers you, you can configure the key as you like: below on the screenshot you can see which option it is.
All newly created profiles will use R-ALT as the default mapping for this.
