Crytek has announced an imminent patch for Crysis 2, addressing various technical issues and gameplay balance concerns reported by the community. The update promises significant improvements to both single-player and multiplayer components of the game.
The patch focuses on several key areas of improvement. Multiplayer balance adjustments target weapon effectiveness and armor mode energy consumption, responding to player feedback about certain tactics being overpowered. Server stability improvements aim to reduce disconnection issues and improve match-making reliability. The update also addresses various collision detection issues that players have encountered in both multiplayer maps and campaign missions.
Graphics optimization is another major focus, with improvements to DirectX 11 implementation and various visual effects. The patch includes fixes for texture streaming issues that some players have experienced, along with improvements to shadow rendering and particle effects. Performance optimizations should result in better frame rates, particularly on mid-range systems.
Bug fixes target several known issues including progression-blocking bugs in the campaign, audio synchronization problems, and various UI glitches. The patch will be automatically distributed through the game’s update system when it launches later this week. Crytek has indicated that detailed patch notes will be published alongside the update’s release.
