Crysis Warhead Patch #1 Released

Related Topics – Crysis Warhead, PC

The first Crysis Warhead patch has been released, updating the game with new 64-bit executable files for Vista and XP.

Grab the patch now on FileShack. Check out the full notes below:

General Fixes/tweaks

- Windows Vista: Mouse cursor should no longer have an offset in the menu.

- Windows Vista: Unrequested launches in windowed mode should occur less often now.

- Timedemo can now be started from the command line.

- Better dynamic texture support for enthusiast mode.

New Features

- Added 64-bit executables for Windows XP x64 and Windows Vista 64-bit version. In Windows XP x64 a new shortcut will be placed under the Crysis Warhead program group. In Windows Vista right-click the Crysis Warhead icon in Game Explorer and choose to run the game in 64-bit mode.

Known Issues

- Games saved in 32-bit won't work properly when running the 64-bit version and vice-versa.

Note: After applying the patch the version displayed (lower right corner of menu) is 1.1.1.710.

Is there a way to tell ingame whether you're running the 32-bit or 64-bit client? I'm curious to see which one Steam launches.

Wonder if this patch will make the game like my GTX 280 OCX?

I can't play it because of some bullshit artifacting that has been attributed to overclocked video cards. Considering my card was OC'ed out of the box and runs fine with the rest of my games, i'm not fucking with it. Original Crysis runs fine though. I don't get it.

Installed the patch.

DX10 64-bit @ Very High, 1280x960/0xAA runs like a dream and plays like a dream with E6600/4GB/GF8800GTX @ defaults.

The game run without a problem before the patch. Now it seems to run a bit smoother. There's much less random quick slowdowns.

I wonder why it is so hard to make the savegames compatible between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. What is in a savegame that is platform dependent?

At least they should provide a converter to move 32-bit saved games to the 64-bit version...

I am OK with this. I will test tonight to see if running in 64bit mode improves performance at all; I don't think the game comes close to using more than 3GB of memory, but you know. Registers and shit.
