CRYSERV CLIENT
Game Client - Mandatory Update
Patch Notes ( v.2.0.1088.1 )
• Fixed that the F key assignments were no longer usable on nTEC servers
• Fixed that the death fade effect no longer worked correctly
• Various other improvements and optimizations ( 4 sub-items )
A small update that only fixes minor bugs, some of which were caused by the latest revisions. As this update only changes the revision number and not the build number, it is a voluntary update that you have to install yourself, for new builds or mandatory updates the update system is used.
Patch Notes ( v.2.0.1088.0 )
•
Fixed incorrect reload animation in zoom mode with the DSG1 if a silencer is attached
•
Fixed the double reload sound in zoom mode with the DSG1 if a silencer is attached
•
Added in-game update function for new client-versions
•
Added language support for German and Russian to the Installer
•
Various minor adjustments
At the request and probably to the delight of many players, an update function has been implemented. In addition, two bugs with the DSG1 have been fixed and minor adjustments have been made.
The update function is not a fully automatic update, you will be notified of a new update in the game, you can also download it directly in the game, after downloading the game is closed, the installer is started, there you can install the update as usual, at the end of the installation you can start the game again directly in the installer and play.
Unfortunately, the Steam Deck cannot be updated directly, as you are not in desktop mode by default and it would not work that way. So you still have to do it analog there.

Game Client - Mandatory Update
Patch Notes ( v.2.0.1087.0 )

CRYSERV CLIENT
Game Client - Mandatory Update
Patch Notes ( v.2.0.1086.0 )
• Fixed that the standard chat could be made unusable with the radio chat ( original game error )
• Fixed inconsistencies in the localizations of the radio chat ( original game errors )
• Fixed that a Tool was selected when using the 4 in one of the radio chat groups ( original game error )
• Fixed that the radio chat could be opened behind the scoreboard ( original game error )
• Fixed that a wrong map grid position was displayed on maps without minimap ( original game error )
• The compass display in the radar now also works on maps without a minimap
• Added that the radio menu can be closed with the Esc key
• Readability of the radio chat improved by left alignment
• General revision of the radio chat entries
• The radio chat can now also be used in Team Action
• Separate areas added to the radio chat, for communication nearby and across the entire map
• Added display of the number of radio chat receivers for nearby communication and maps without minimap
• Various performance optimisations
The radio chat is actually a very practical but unfortunately often overlooked way of communicating, as the instructions are localized for each player. This update therefore primarily relates to this feature. We have tried to name entries more clearly, to fix errors and to increase the readability and general added value of this function.
I hope that we have succeeded in this endeavor with these changes š ... Due to the newly added radio entries, players with an old version would not have the corresponding localization, so unfortunately it has to be a mandatory update.

Game Client - Mandatory Update
Patch Notes ( v.2.0.1085.0 )
• C4 can now be disarmed even if it is attached to an entity such as a vehicle
• Fixed that the usability message was sporadically not displayed for mounted weapons
• Various performance optimisations
Unfortunately, the original game does not allow you to remove any C4 attached to an Entity. I had already thought several times about whether this could be changed, yesterday I finally tested it and yes. On client and vanilla servers it is simply removed as it is originally handled and on BASE, nTEC and iTEC servers it falls off after disarming and can then be picked up as normal.
This feature must be supported on the server side, as long as the server operators have not updated theirs servers, it will not work & It is not configurable, but simply possible by default in CryServ now.

CRYSERV CLIENT
Game Client - Mandatory Update
Patch Notes ( v.2.0.1084.0 )
• Fixed that the position of vehicles directly after a map (re)start was sporadically only displayed correctly if they were shot at
• Fixed that a player sporadically did not receive the message "Enter Vehicle" and had to hit the vehicle first to make it work
• Fixed that the cloak-layer of the helicopter rotors was displayed incorrectly
• Various minor adjustments
This version is a pure quality of life update and fixes some bugs that have always been present in the game, two of which should be familiar to anyone who has been playing Crysis Wars for a while. Unfortunately I also had to rework some MTLs as I had overlooked a display bug with the cloak-layer when I fixed other display bugs with the wet- and frozen- layer, at helicopter rotors, in one of the last updates - which is also the reason why it had to be a mandatory update.

CRYSERV CLIENT
Game Client - Mandatory Update
Patch Notes ( v.2.0.1083.1 )
• Fixed that players with more than ~225 FPS could no longer use the RadarKit ( original game error )
• The revision number of the client is now also displayed in the dll properties, in the menu and in the mods menu
To complete the high FPS fixes, here's a little touch up, as I didn't realize that the RadarKit was also causing problems.
Patch Notes ( v.2.0.1083.0 )
•
Added overheating to the VehicleMOAC and VehicleMOAR to prevent continuous firing
•
Indicator bar for the VehicleMOAC and VehicleMOAR extended so that it can also display overheating
•
Fixed a display error in the SwingOMeter that led to a display error when changing the color scheme in-game
•
Fixed that players with more than ~225 FPS could not place explosives ( original game error )
•
Removed the automatic reactivation of V-Sync after a (re-)start ( due to several requests )
•
Various minor adjustments
Since we have been testing the VehicleMOAC and VehicleMOAR a little longer and our thoughts are that we both think that no weapon should be able to fire continuously in the game, so another small update that completes the balancing adjustments of these weapons. Furthermore, the very annoying bug was fixed that players could no longer place explosives from about 225 FPS, these then simply disappeared.

CRYSERV CLIENT
Game Client - Mandatory Update
Patch Notes ( v.2.0.1082.0 )
• Fixed that the Singularity vehicle weapon did not cause area damage ( original game error )
• Fixed that the damage values of the MOAC vehicle weapons were much too high ( original game errors )
• Fixed that "Enter Vehicle" was not displayed after a successfully picking lock ( original game error )
• Fixed that the interaction indicator ( the white & red circle for interactions ) did not work correctly ( original game error )
• Fixed that the motion blur in the rotor of helicopters was no longer displayed ( this error crept in in the last update )
• Fixed that Cyrillic led to an incorrect display if it was not localized on the client side ( original game error )
→ Dynamic server-side localizations are finally possible without errors with this fix
• New item added, a universal tool called "MultiTool" that can be used for the following tasks
→ Repairing ( Vehicles & Gun Turrets )
→ Disarming ( Explosives )
→ Hacking ( Gun Turrets )
→ Picking Lock ( Vehicles )
• Extensive revision of the Russian localization ( Alex has invested a lot of time in the improvements )
• Various other improvements and optimizations ( 19 sub-items )
The Singularity, as powerful as a TAC that can visually illuminate an entire map ... but won't kill anyone standing even 10 meters from the point of impact ... strange, at least that's what we thought and that's why we changed it.
The primary MOAC vehicle weapon, was far too powerful, it could destroy any other vehicle in a maximum of one second, which is very violent, as you had practically no chance and had to rely on luck. It is still good, but no longer overwhelmingly good. Regardless of this, the mounted version of the MOAC also caused far too much damage to some vehicles and significantly more damage than to all other vehicles, which we have also fixed.
Especially in Instant Action and Team Action, it is very inconvenient to always have several tools with you. The idea was therefore to use the SSM to give players a tool that combines and automates everything. This new "MultiTool" is also available in PowerStruggle in the buy menu ( If additional items have been activated on the server side ). Thanks at this point to
76th for his help with fixing a display error of a particle effect during the implementation.

POWER STRUGGLE - TUTORIAL
Alex thought that the community should familiarize themselves with the basics of the Power Struggle game mode in Crysis Wars. That's why he uploaded this video to YouTube in good quality and added subtitles for 5 languages: English, German, Russian, Polish and Turkish.

Patch Notes ( v.2.0.1081.0 )
•
Fixed that vehicles with cloaking devices did not work sporadically during the first connection, i.e. remained visible
•
Fixed that when restarting the map, mounted weapons on vehicles with cloaking devices remained sporadically visible
Due to the unfair advantage a player would gain if a vehicle remains visible to him but is cloaked for someone else, this is unfortunately a mandatory update. I've been trying to find this bug for a week ( that's when I first noticed it ), unfortunately it's not easy to trigger it, so it was difficult to debug, today i finally found the reason and fixed it.

The new Cloak-Mode
Since the Cloak-Mode in Crysis Wars makes a player nearly invisible, making it very difficult to visually identify a player depending on the background, the idea of adapting it has been around for a while ... So the new Cloak-Mode really took us a lot of hours to test ... We had created several versions for internal testing ... the version we decided on is the closest to the original, looks good and sufficiently fixes what was criticized about the original Cloak-Mode. We didn't want the difference to be too big compared to what players are used to, so we hope you like our choice š.
Provision of additional vehicles via server-side Resource Packs
A few versions ago Alex and me had added HUD support for unknown vehicle classes to the CryServ-Client, original no vehicle HUD would be displayed at all for unknown classes, as you may already know from many videos of other projects and from the Sandbox2 - Now there is finally a suitable use for this adaptation.
About two months ago I found a way to make probably the most of all custom vehicle classes available via a server-side resource pack. Which vehicles the server operators make available to you, if they want to use it, is up to them. I have tested the system with around 20 different ones, all of them worked without any problems with the chosen solution.
Extended Color Shemes
Last but not least, Alex thought that the color schemes in the menu should be expanded, so he extended the color schemes from the original 5 available designs to 36 possible combinations ( the original color schemes can also be adapted using the optional background colors ).

Server Files - Voluntary Update
Patch Notes ( v.1.0.1071.0 )
• Phoenix: Numerous minor C++ errors in the original game code fixed
• Phoenix: Added CVar "g_disableCloakModeOnce" - Temporary deactivation of the Cloak-Mode with C++ Reset

It is now possible to deactivate ("g_disableCloakModeOnce" set to 1) the Cloak-Mode once for one round, i.e. until a map change or an analog reset. This can be used in the levelrotation.xml as well as in any SSM.
Conversely, it is also possible to completely deactivate the Cloak-Mode (possible since 2014 in CryServ) on the server with the CVar "g_disableCloakMode" (set to 1) and to create one-off exceptions for this setting for individual maps using "g_disableCloakModeOnce" (set to 0).
