Crysis 2 maximum edition (origin) mods dont work : Crysis

When will this be fixed? I bought it for the exact reason of using mods and i am extremely let down. The game has been out for a while too, this should have been fixed already.

I believe the next update of Origin will have this fixed. If it hasn't been updated already? Make sure you are using the latest version of Origin anyway!

Doesn't origin update itself?

Probably does.

For now here is a workaround for launching the mod, let me know if this works.

Create a shortcut to Crysis 2.exe
Right click the shortcut and go to properties
In the target box add this text at the end of the Target: -mod (modname)
For example the target box would look like this to run the SiTH MP MOD:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis 2\bin32\Crysis2.exe" -mod SiTHC2MPMOD2
Press OK, then launch the shortcut to launch the mod directly with the game.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Crysis 2 Maximum Edition\bin32\Crysis2.exe"-crysis_2_maldohd_mod_v3.0b

When I hit apply or Ok it gives me : The name "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Crysis 2 Maximum Edition\bin32\Crysis2.exe"-crysis_2_maldohd_mod_v3.0b specified in the target box is not valid make sure the path and file name are correct.

Thanks for you help

You missed a bit, it should be:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Crysis 2 Maximum Edition\bin32\Crysis2.exe"-mod crysis_2_maldohd_mod_v3.0b

^

Are you sure that is the name of the mod? You can find the name of your mods here: Crytek\Crysis 2\Mods

For me it is called: MaLDoHDv3

Doesn't origin update itself?
I havent had a chance to test the fix, but it may be in the beta release of the client:

In Origin, Go to Application Settings->General and scroll down.
Put checkmark in Update to the beta version if available
Exit client and restart

EDIT: woot! MOD LOAD now restarts the game and loads properly with Maximum Edition under Origin. I don't know if I was running the beta or the final, since "use beta" was already checked in my client, but it works.

EDIT: Hmmm. in my test, Origin was using the Steam install of M.E., but it did work (it didnt before). I can't test all of this out right now on a proper Origin M.E. install.... Looks like progress anyway.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis 2\bin32\Crysis2.exe" -mod MaLDoHDv3 i tried still does not work. Did the origin update with no luck.

Once again thanks for the help guys.

After the Origin update launch your game as normal, go to the mods menu in singleplayer select the mod and launch it. Did you install the mod correctly?

I assume the mods were installed correctly because they appear in the Mod menu. My origin for some reason wont update. Perhaps the beta isnt out in my region ?

C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis 2\bin32\Crysis2.exe" -mod MaLDoHDv3 i tried still does not work.
Thats not the Origin M.E. folder.... Did you mean

Code:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Crysis 2 Maximum Edition\bin32\Crysis2.exe" -mod MaLDoHDv3  

RE: Origin Update regional?  I don't know.
