FarCry 1.2 patch

Alittle bit of info on the patch itself:

Ubisoft has released the Far Cry 1.2 patch, offering a slew of fixes and improvements for the Crytek first person shooter. And though not mentioned in the readme, the 65mb update adds Shader Model 3.0 support for GeForce 6-series of videocards. Here are some of the changes

* Made the run speed about 15% faster

* Made sprint last 30% longer

* Adjusted damage to vehicles

* Fixed a number of serious issues with headshot detection

* Fixed some issues with ladder animations appearing odd to other players

* Added quicksave support for single player (still in process)

* Fixed a significant number of bugs relating to quicksave (~100 bugs)

* Addressed a number of issues with the server list UI

* Fixed a rendering issue with Radeon 9600 graphics cards

(Thx Shacknews!)

too bad they chose to fix the 9600 issue now, I have long uninstalled this game becuase it would run like poo on my 9600.

It was about frickin' time...

Far Cry Patch RecalledUbisoft let us know that the Far Cry 1.2 patch released a few days ago has been recalled. According to the publisher "Far Cry patch 1.2 has shown unexpected behaviour on specific hardware configurations. These matters are mainly due to incompatibilities with several optimisations brought lately to the code, with the intent to please a large number of users". CryTek is working on a fixed version of the update to be released "as soon as possible".
