Introduction

Less than a month after the release of Patch 1.2 we are now releasing Patch 1.3. Included in this patch is the Holiday Map Pack, a special present from us to close the year and to make sure you guys have some great fun over the Holiday period and right across the start of next year. Thanks for all of your support over this past year, and we really hope you enjoy these maps. Be sure to check out the introduction videos to them from the Level Designers that made them. These videos can be found here (Savanna) and here (Frost).

Do I need to have patch 1 and patch 2 installed before?
No, that is not needed. If you have installed Crysis Wars recently you just download patch 3 since it includes all changes from the former patches as well.

If you have Crysis Wars already updated to patch 1 or patch 2, then the patch 3 installation will work without any problems as well.

Patch Notes

Fixes:
* Fixed: Custom assets in downloaded maps will now be loaded correctly

Updates:
* Updated: New Power Struggle Map 'Frost'
* Updated: New Team Instant Action Map 'Savanna'

Conclusion

Thanks for your support over this past year, and continued support into the new year. We hope you enjoy this present from us and have some great fun playing both of these maps! More updates will be coming in the new year, so be sure to stay tuned to MyCrysis.com.

Der offizielle Verkaufsstart von Crysis. Nach 3 Jahren entwicklung, war der Tag des releases.
Mitglieder der Community freuten sich über ihre erworbene Crysis Kopie, jedoch nicht nur die Mitglieder auch die Mitarbeiter von Crysis-HQ.com

Dieser Tag ist nun schon ein Jahr her. Crysis feiert am heutigen 16.11.2008 den einjähriges release. Deshalb sagen wir das Team von Crysis-HQ.com Happy Birthday Crysis.
Wir wünschen nicht nur Crysis Happy Birthday, sondern auch Crytek viel Erfolg bei den weiteren Entwicklungen.
Wir bedanken uns auch für die Community Arbeit von Crytek und hoffen das die in Zukunft so bleibt oder auch evtl. noch ausgeweitert wird.

Introduction
Ok, just a few days after some more information on what the team has been doing, and we've got the full patch list for you guys to witness. The patch is nearly ready, although we don't have a set date for it currently. This patch will see lots of tweaks and fixes, many of which have been hot topics bought up by the community.

Introduction

As the last dev blog we provided you was so well received, we’re giving you another update on the progress of the latest Crysis Wars update, due out in the not too distant future. Patch 1.1 was released on the 4th November, but even before it’s release the multiplayer team had begun work on Patch 1.2, the next patch for Crysis Wars. Now that 1.1 is out the team has fully moved across to focus on 1.2.

Not only did the first update feature the Linux dedicated server and the 64bit binaries, but the team also fixed an issue with CryNet which prevent people from being able to add a server to their favourites list for more than 1 gaming session.

Patch 1.2

In this patch you’re going to see plenty of game balancing issues fixed and several other issues getting resolved. The team has been hard at work testing all the updates that are included in the patch and things have been carefully tweaked to make sure you guys get given a great update that you’ll all be really happy with. You'll be seeing several stability issues solved with this update, as well as lots more game balancing issues and exploits fixed to be fairer for everyone.

We have been monitoring the forums continuously over the past few months and have been seeing all of the information you have been gathering for us. For example there are many threads in the Bugs and Technical Support Forum and Feedback and Suggestions forums that have really helped us focus on what the community wants to see.

Conclusion

The patch is still a little while away, but we’ll have another update for you in the near future, which will include a lot more details on the patch and information on when it will be released, and of course once again how you can get hold of the patch itself.
