    I don't have crysis 2 sadly, but I haven't had any issues with any of my other games.

    Delete the contents of your saved games folder. If one of the saved games is corrupted it will cause this issue with Crysis, Crysis 2 and a number of other games. I've had to do that more that once to stop the problem you are describing.

    Yup, but that should fix the problem. I have had to bite the bullet more than once in order to restore proper gaming operation. I don't know why the saved games get corrupted or why they cause crashing, but it's unfortunate to lose progress. You can rename and/or move (rather than delete) the Crysis 2 saved games folder to see if it fixes your problem. If it does, then you're good to go. If not, then you can put your saved games back where they belong.
