Crysis Remastered Update Improves Performance on PC
Crysis Remastered has received update 1.3.0. In addition to fixing a number of bugs, the patch improved the performance of the game's PC release on higher graphic settings.
You have to admit that Crysis has a special place in video game history. In 2007, it became famous as a "future game", i.e. one that even the best configurations of the time couldn't handle at the highest settings. But the funniest thing is that the game did it for the second time almost 13 years later, on the occasion of the release of the remaster. The devs themselves admitted it, calling these settings with a telling name "Can it run Crysis?".
Very funny, but fans of playing at absolutely highest available level of detail may have not appreciated the joke. Perhaps update 1.3.0 for Crysis Remastered, aimed to improve game's performance on the highest settings will bring the msome comfort. As informed by Crytek on Reddit, the patch focuses on optimizing the game when setting various options at "high" or "very high" levels, including ray-tracing (also on AMD's GPUs). A handful of visuals errors have also been eliminated when displaying non-interactive scenes with HDR enabled. In addition, the optimal settings have been improved to better match the level of details to our hardware.
In addition to these performance improvements, patch 1.3.0 also fixes a number of bugs that plagued the remastered Crysis. Unfortunately, the list of changes did not include quick save options, which some gamers did not like. It is not known if Crytek is planning to implement the system at all. Hopefully, shortly after the release, the option of lean and grenade quick throws appeared in the game with update 1.1.0.
