Windows Crysis 64* Disabling Aero

Hi all, I've googled around but not come up with a solution. It seems like to run Crysis in 64 bit mode you have to execute Crysis.exe in the Bin64 folder, this is a securom package that checks the disk and it then executes the Crysis64.exe app. Problem is that Disabling Desktop composition on the Crysis.exe means it disables and then re-enables when the Crysis.exe app exits. and the aero interface returns. If you change the settings on hte Crysis64.exe it doesn't work, presumably because Crysis.exe is calling it, not the user. I've tried making both Administrative etc and nothing works. Any ideas?
I want to run 64* because on my system it makes a decent difference to my minimum framerates and by disabling aero it removes a nasty stutter bug that was cropping up :-(

 

Make Crysis.bat in your Crysis folder

Code:

start "Bin64/Crysis.exe" /wait
pause

Create your shortcut to Crysis.bat and disable desktop composition on that. When you exit Crysis and return to the console window, just press enter.

 

Wow, That's a beautifully elegant solution Many thanks
I had to remove the speech marks and its now calling the game perfectly but for some reason it isn't disabling the aero interface. Tried the Disable desktop composition on the file and on the shortcut, I've also tried visual themes and compatibility for some reason it doesn't kick off aero Once again though thanks and that's a really awesome solution

 

Got it

Code:

start Bin64/Crysis.exe /wait
net stop "UxSms"
pause
net start "UxSms"

Manually starts and stops the service

 

Man you're fast, I was just about to suggest that.
