Looks like Crysis (https://www.gog.com/game/crysis) is a Windows-only game, so you'll need a different approach than what I've described in my blog post, which is running Ubuntu inside containers.
If you want to play it on Linux, you may be able to do it using Wine (https://www.winehq.org/), which you can run directly, or inside a Docker container.
Alternatively, if you are using Windows, you may be able to utilize Windows containers (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowsconta...), but that's not what I did in my blog post, so YMMV.
If you do try this out, let us know if it works for you!
