Crysis Warhead upcoming Patch 1 details revealed



64-bit mode, fixes and tweaks

Our friends at inCrysis have given us juicy details in their latest monthly update regarding what to expect in Crysis Warhead's first patch, which will be releasing very soon.

The first remarkable tweak to the game will be better dynamic texture support for Enthusiast mode, which is the highest settings option available in the game. Secondly, the famous Timedemo that we enthusiasts like to benchmark with can now be started from the command line. As for those with Windows Vista, unrequested launches in windowed mode should occur less often now, and the mouse cursor should no longer have an offset in the menu. Both of these issues have bothered many people, and we are thankful that CryTek has responded to its audience with a fix.

As far as new features are concerned, we know of one that has been long awaited by gamers and enthusiasts alike, and with a warm welcome of our appreciation is it finally here: 64-bit mode. CryTek added 64-bit executables for Windows XP x64 and Windows Vista x64, however we're sure that the Vista executable will also work with Windows 7 x64 beta. In Windows XP x64, a new shortcut will be placed under the Crysis Warhead program group. In Windows Vista, users can right-click the Crysis Warhead icon in Game Explorer and choose to run the game in 64-bit mode.

On another note, there is only one known issue with the patch. Games saved in 32-bit won't work properly when running the 64-bit version and vice-versa. Yet, the fun with improvement patches like these is that the game is always re-playable to say the least.

These are the full patch notes as seen in the readme file with the patch. After applying it, the version displayed in the lower right corner of the game menu is 1.1.1.710. There is still no set release date for this first patch, but we will definitely stay informed with any announcements made.
