Crysis 2 DX11 patch coming Tomorrow

[Game Over]

Just seen a news story from PC games that claims that a Patch will be released tomorrow (march 28th 2011). Enabling DX11 and is said to include an expanded Graphics Menue so you can tweak your settings.

Well we will have to wait till then to see if its legit. This will make many people very happy.

See the story HERE

So long as they deliver this time

Tbh for the most part, even the DX9 looks pretty good, so unless they royally cocked it up, the DX11 effects should just polish it up nicely. Thanks for the info gameover

Totally agree. I think the game looks very good, and even if you don't like the mp, it's worth the £25 for the sp, loving the story line so far and the gameplay is pretty gd, you have a lot of options to achieve the goal, ie be sneaky, gun ho or a bit of both, but it's nice to have a choice

too many games these days are on preset rails and it bores the sh!t out of me.....yes CoD I'm looking at you in particular

Finally..

 

[wotevajjjj]

I also hope there'll be more graphic options, so stupid that even my pc can run it maxed out atm... that's not what crysis is about

NO PATCH,and the twitter post by one of the graphics devs has been removed as well.

No patch was ever confirmed, I have no idea why this website even posted such information. This thread is locked just the same as the others for trying to spread inaccurate information. When there are any big announcements regarding Crysis 2 they will be posted on MyCrysis, if you read something about a patch for example, but don't see it on MyCrysis.com, then it isn't genuine.

Damn, I was getting excited. Back to waiting for updates / cheaper deal, currently it isn't worth the money for me.

Well that sucks balls

MAXIMUM disappointment

DANGER! DANGER! the suit forgot to warn us about that. Shut up I know we're at war omg. DANGER! DANGER! "what now?" theres a mosquito penetrating the suit. MAXIMUM ARMOUR ENABLED! "phew" "shut up god damn"

dumbest thing is in MP the suit voice echoes when we're in a tunnel or summin. Oh anti-stealth enhancement, if the enemy could hear it. geto blaster, has this thing got wireless, "ahh theres a handle here, it says 'wind up'", morse code? And Nano Vision voice is too loud

Guys you should also note that just because there's gonna be a DX11 patch doesn't mean there will be massive graphic improvements, it all depends how Crytek will implement it. For instance World of Warcraft uses Direct X 11 as a more efficient means on encoding the terrain, so the game appears the same in WoW DX11, but you'll get 15% higher FPS. But hopefully Crytek won't take this easy route out and make Crysis 2 into a proper DX11 game.

I do not have crysis 2, nor have I been fortunate enough to play any crysis game, but seen an article yesterday claiming that the Textures in Crysis 2 are 1/2 the size of the Textures in Crysis 1. I am assuming this means number of polygons/graphic detail?

Can anyone confirm?

 

[JezEngland]

i don't know . i compared the concrete bollard texture to BlackOps concrete bollard and Black Ops is nicer. Nearly everything is beautiful in Crysis 2. It's the best DX9 today I think. I hope tesselation plays alot in DX11 Crysis 2, like the roof tiles need to be shaped and the bricks ect. Lots of geometry. That'd be a job to get 3D vision working nicely. Some brick wall textures are out of line when the corners meet. If there isn't an engine bug causing that I say poor effort to the designer

Primary school teachers taught us better. It should be drag 'n' drop, resize and stuff texture system eh?

Agreed. When an engine is developed with the Dx11 in mind, then you will mostly see the benefits. This habit, the same that came with Dx10 releases, to "patch" a game to do Dx11 stuff is/should be limp in comparison.
