Far Cry Patch 1.2 Withdraw

Everyone was hyped about the patch. It boosted Nvidia’s performance by quite a bit due to the new SM3.0. It’s a shame that ATI had some bugs with it. Crytek was forced to withdraw the patch. Doh well.

“Lets face it, Its been a hell of a rough month for Crytek, not only was their much vaunted 1.2 patch severely delayed, they finally released the patch only to withdraw it today. We had planned a look at this patch on ATI hardware with new beta drivers but unfortunately it seems rather pointless presenting an in-depth article detailing frames per second differences at various resolutions when the patch has been removed from public consumption. Nonetheless we have seen this is a hot topic of conversation on our forums, so Stuart and myself feel we should post something detailing a little of the apparent mysteries involved with this patch and forthcoming ATI drivers.”
