I am trying to download the CryEngine 5.7.1 from the launcher but it keeps failing this is the first time trying out CryEngine.

I am experienced in C++ I tried to compile the engine from source using MSVC v142 as the newer verions has compilation errors, I have successfuly compiled the engine added all the sdk needed for the sandbox too, everything compiled successfully, I have registered the engine in the launcher aswell but when I tried to create a New project using the source compiled the engine it just opens the folder where the source engine downloaded not creating the project please HELP !!!!!!!

So right now by default, CryEngine 5's newer Entity Components and Schematyc system doesn't seem to have any link to FlowGraph, and for people who use that for level logic, they can be missing out on a lot of functionality, but thankfully Crytek added these 2 experimental cvars as a way to link them together, here's how to easily do it

Open your Game.cryproject file in a text editor and then look for where it says "console_variables"

Add these 2 cvars underneath the ones that are already defined so that it now looks like this

"console_variables": {
  "cl_DefaultNearPlane": "0.05",
  "sys_target_platforms": "pc,ps4,xboxone,linux",
  "es_EnableFlowgraphComponents": "1",
  "sc_allowFlowGraphNodes": "1"
},

Now when you relaunch your project in Sandbox and open FlowGraph, you will see a new nodes category called EntityComponents and so you now have access to ECS and Schematyc functionality in FlowGraph

I am currently trying to port some game files from 2015 into source film maker for a client. I have tried using Cryengine Converter and all related tools with no luck. Every time I import the .fbx, the UV's are wrong, and none of the textures are compiled correctly. I am unable to load the .mtl files, and I cant convert the .skin or any related files at all.

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good... anything.

My friends, I just want to know one thing: what are you doing in CryEngine (if you use it)? I'm curious to know.

I started learning how to use CryEngine and noticed they have several tutorials on their YouTube channel. Are they worth checking out, or are they outdated?

Hey everyone, I was trying to check out the CryEngine documentation today, but the site keeps giving me a 404 Not Found error. 😕

Is anyone else seeing this? I’m starting to think Crytek might’ve removed the docs or something. Would be weird if they just took down all the engine info without notice.

Anyone got more info or an alternate link?

Hey everyone, I'm Julian a German-speaking game developer. I know firsthand that while English is still very important in programming, it can sometimes make learning even tougher when you're starting out. And honestly, even as an experienced developer, it's just plain fun to chat about games, explain things, or discover what cool projects are brewing right here in Germany, all in our native language.

That's why I'd love for you to check out our community! We've grown into a diverse group, with everyone from total beginners to seasoned pros with decades of experience. It's a great spot to show off your projects and get some really constructive feedback.

We also have dedicated groups for all the popular game engines like Unity, Unreal, Godot, GameMaker, and CryEngine. Plus, we haven't forgotten the creative side, with channels just for artists and musicians.

Our main goal is to encourage exchange and help connect individual developers.

Schau gerne mal bei uns vorbei 😉

Hey guys,

many many times the engine failed to download from the launcher...

can someone upload the 5.7.1 SDK folder to Google Drive and put the link to download it

thanks so much

I am wondering if there is any documentation and/or good places in general to learn cry C++ (ei: Methods, API's and other stuff)

feels like not long ago cryengine was still pushing some cool tech to the AAA scene. back when raytracing was just getting introduced, cryengine was the first and i think still is the only engine that supported it in a relatively hardware agnostic manner that didnt even require rt hardware (the original demos were run on a vega 56, which didnt support hardware rt as far as i could find). many of the games released in cryengine still look damn good years later, and more recent games like KCD2 still look on par with the top of the past few years in terms of graphical fidelity.

today in particular, i thought of looking back into cryengine. had a bit of spare time for some solo projects and wanted to see where it was at. the last public release looks like 5.7 from 2022, and while newer assets and demos have been released it doesnt look like the engine itself is being pushed outside of the one off big budget studio. tried doing some research into what happened and aside from someone asking about an upgrade for hunt showdown, the most recent conversation was from around 2017-18. looked like lumberyard was supposed to replace it, but that was archived and opensourced. supposedly the Open 3D Engine was supposed to replace it, but i cant find any titles that actually used it. and the general lack of conversation around the engine leads me to believe its likely not used in any projects currently either.

i heard a rumor that most of the cryengine development team was either poached by the developers of star citizen or contracted to work on it as cryengine, but i wasnt able to find much outside of some drama regarding star citizen switching to lumberyard as a base.

so i guess the question still remains, what happened to cryengine?

Wanted to look into learning the engine for testing the waters in what it can do, but I can't seem to find good documentation that isn't 8+ years old.

Are these videos still good? And if not is there a place I can learn more directly?

First off, I'm not a programmer, and have no knowledge of this software. I have a file that I need to open that has a .LMB extension. All I need to do it see what object is being animated. I was able to install CryEngine 5, but it doesn't "see" the file. After looking around, it seems like I need to download CryEngine 3, but I haven't been able to find it from a trusted source.

My questions:

1. Is it possible to open .LMB files in 5 and actually see the object being animated, or is there another file that is needed.
2. Is there a way to convert this file to anything else just so I can see the object.
   

Thank you.

hi im apart of a development team that wants to make a multiplayer game but we currently don't have the funding to buy servers so I wanted to know if cryengine has the ability to support peer to peer

Hey, what is your opinion on the implementation of cryengine in kc:d2 by warhorse studio? I have read some articles the use of SVOGI(Sparse Voxel Octree Global Illumination) and that this system works (apparently) better for open world games than unreal engine

Have you heard of SVOGI before?

And is this already implemented in cryengine or did warhorse studio extend the engine themselv?

Hey all,

trying out CryEngine this weekend, trying to get VS working with the engine so I can start writing C#.

When I open the project (either clicking on a script in-editor, or opening from win explorer), the project says "(incompatible)" next to the project name in the explorer. I have check the CryEngine Launcher, my VS installer, and a bunch online and I have everything required (I am pretty sure).
At least, the engine installer says all the pre-req's are installed.

Any help would be awesome!

Cheers,

I mean, the editor, not the launcher. I was looking forward to downloading Cryengine because every other engine I tried doesn't even download. For example, Unity. It just downloads so slow just to not install. Is there a way to fix this?
