Binaries

To make onboarding with CRYENGINE Community Edition smoother, we’ve decided to provide access to the full pre‑built engine binaries. However, due to licensing requirements, there is a specific process you must follow:

Create a CRYENGINE Account
- Register on the official CRYENGINE website.
Obtain GitHub Access
- Request access to the CRYENGINE 5.7 repository via the CRYENGINE website.
- This step is required to verify that you are a licensed CRYENGINE user.
Join Our Discord
- Join our Discord server and provide your GitHub account name.
Verification & Download
- Once we verify your GitHub account, you will receive access to a download link for the binaries.

This process ensures compliance with Crytek’s licensing terms while giving you a faster way to get started with the Community Edition.

Source Code

Because we have always honored the CRYENGINE license agreement, the Community Edition is distributed only as a patch. This patch includes the modified source files and new files developed by our team. We cannot distribute a pre‑built version of CRYENGINE without Crytek’s permission. To use the Community Edition, you must first obtain the CRYENGINE 5.7 source code directly from Crytek. Once you have the official source, apply the patch files we provide and then build the engine yourself.

For detailed instructions, please follow the guide below or read our installation manual if you need further clarification.
