Far Cry Patch Plans

There are some Patch Notes on the Far Cry Forums (thanks FPS Central and Ant) with word on what to expect on the long awaited (dare we say overdue) version 1.3 patch for Crytek's first-person shooter. No timeframe is offered on when to expect the patch to be released.

Thats what ps2.0 is for - purely performance while ps3 adds new graphical features.

I'm happy. I won this game off an Ebay auction last week for 13 bucks brand new DVD edition. Hearing about the patch all a sudden around the time that it should arrive is great news. Can't wait to go back to single player in the game and beat it this time. I hope afew modders come through with a total conversion or so. The only decent looking mod coming out that should see the light is the Jurassic Park mod being made by some German folks. It's looking good so far and they have videos and pictures on it. I'd keep an eye out for that one if your interested.

Hi,

FarCry 1.2 patch makes the game run great! Try it and see. They have many 1.2 servers out there. FarCry 1.2 download links:

3DC is included in the patch. There are two normal map compression methods you may enable with r_TexNormalMapCompressed set to 1. 3DC for ATI cards and U8V8 (although strictly speaking it's not a compression) for nVidia. The main reason for making it disabled by default is the loading time. If it's not an issue for your hardware spec you're free to enable it.

Taken from the ubi FC forums, posted by Cryteks R&D manager. Just hope that they don't haul this patch back after release like 1.2!

Ironicly this is one of the few FPS's of this quality that got released pretty much when they said it would. At least there where no delays I knew of in the last year of it's development, and they got the release date down to the right month.

Then I guess the money started coming in and it was sex, drugs, and rock and roll for Crytek.

an outstanding multiplayer fix could reserect this one. Even the Thursday lan game from Tech TV couldn't get it to work.

This patch is taking longer for them to create than it took to make the whole game.

Man, they really dropped the ball on this one...they write an amazing game, but then can't seem to finish patching it. WTF?

Seems like a pretty useless patch. Far Cry out of the box remains the most stable version.

If they can figure a way to increase performance without cutting graphics features they'd have my attention for sure.

what happened with the 1.2 patch?

ok, seems like HDR is nevertheless in the 1.3 patch. Just currently beta status and not enabled by default nor supported by CryTek... much like SM3.0 support in the canceled 1.2 patch.

Wondering if 3Dc support has been added to the patch?
