Ubisoft sends along a new Far Cry patch, updating the CryTek shooter to version 1.3. The 74mb update fixes several bugs, and also adds Normal Map Compression and SM 3.0 and SM 2.0x support. Save games from previous versions are not compatible with 1.3. Linux dedicated server files are available now as well.

Patch 1.3 change log * Fixed a crash with the ForkLift when loading some levels. * Fixed a bug that prevented levels from loading after saving in a previous level. * Returned surround 5.1 sound option to the menu. * Fixed a mounted weapon traverse problem. * Fixed a delay relating to tagging enemies in binocular mode. * Improved tangent-space calculation to improve bumpmap quality. * Anisotropic filtering disabled for some textures (light-maps, several lookup textures, fall-off maps) for increased performance. * Improved syncronization in multiplayer. * Fixed bug in leaning with different player classes. * Fixed an invisible wall exploit in mp_freighter.
