Overview
Crysis’s editor crashes instantly if you have a graphics tablet installed. Here’s how to fix it
Introduction
Crysis’s Sandbox 2 editor for some reason seems to hate graphics tablets. If you try running it with a graphics tablet driver installed (IE a wacom) it will always crash.
The only way around this is to uninstall the driver however the other problem is under Windows 10 the default tablet service is always running and will also crash the editor. Thankfully there is a fix illustrated bellow.
The fix
- Go to your start menu and type in “Services”
- Navigate to “Touch Keyboard and handwriting panel service”
- right click it and go to properties
- change “startup type” to disabled”
Restart your computer, and start the editor it now should work
Conclusion
Unfortunately you cannot run the Sandbox 2 editor with a graphics tablet installed on the same computer. However this does allow you to run it regardless of operating system, as Windows 10 by default runs the tablet PC service.
