Crytek has released patch 1.2.0 for the PC version of Crysis Remastered, bringing key improvements to ray tracing, CPU performance, and AI.
Crytek has released patch 1.2.0 for Crysis Remastered. In this update, the developers focused on improving the ray tracing algorithm and tweaking enemy AI behavior.
The game's second major update is a hefty 2.7 GB download. In short, it brings minor overall performance improvements and optimizes CPU-bound ray tracing. Here is a quick breakdown of the patch notes:
Improved AI behavior to offer a tougher challenge for players looking for one;
Reduced ray tracing artifacts from bright and emissive objects;
Optimized CPU-side ray tracing processing;
Boosted overall CPU performance, with more optimizations planned for future updates.
Of course, some issues still remain unresolved. For example:
Running ESET antivirus while playing Crysis Remastered can cause a memory leak, eventually leading to a crash. Disabling the antivirus during gameplay is a temporary workaround (do this at your own risk);
The game may crash on startup if your Windows username is set to Persian;
Using borderless windowed mode locks the game's framerate to your monitor's refresh rate.
