CRYSERV CLIENT
Game Client - Mandatory Update
Patch Notes ( v.2.0.1119.0 )
• Added independent Hurricane barrel spinning, allowing rotation without firing
• Changed weapon behavior to prevent firing from continuing when a weapon becomes raised
• Changed weapon behavior to block reloading while a weapon is raised
• Rebalanced Hurricane, Gauss Rifle, and DSG1 to better match their intended roles
→ Hurricane: Spin-up time changed to the original value, i.e. 70% slower
→ Hurricane: Damage changed to the original value, i.e. from 24 to 21
→ Hurricane: Added overheating to limit sustained fire
→ Gauss Rifle + DSG1: Reduced spread and recoil while standing still
• Fixed tripod weapons potentially becoming buggy when disconnecting during use
• Improved clarity by hiding inventory ammunition when unlimited reloadable ammo is active
• Various additional fixes, optimizations, and improvements ( 16 sub-items )
The standout addition in this update is the ability to rotate the Hurricane’s barrel independently of firing. This small but noticeable feature improves responsiveness and visual feedback, while remaining fully optional and preserving the weapon’s original behavior.
The Hurricane was overperforming, so it has been rebalanced to better align with overall gameplay. Further adjustments may follow if additional tuning is needed.

Patch Notes ( v.2.0.1117.0 )
• Fixed an issue where players could randomly take damage from the AV Machinegun tripod weapon across the map
• Fixed an issue where the command history was not being reset properly - this crept in with the last update
• Fixed an issue where the gun turret barrels rotated in a different direction than those of other weapon classes
• Fixed an issue where it was possible to enter zoom mode in third-person view while the weapon was raised or lowered
• Fixed an issue that caused DisplayFlashMessages to flood the screen when received while the menu was open
• Changed the third-person distance reset key to CTRL + PAGE DOWN
• Changed the third-person follow mode toggle to CTRL + PAGE UP

• Added that you can also remove a command history entry with CTRL + BACKSPACE
• Added that you can also clear the entire chat line with CTRL + BACKSPACE
• Various additional optimizations and improvements ( 4 sub-items )
As usual, a few small issues only showed up after the update went live - pretty typical, right 😅 ?
The gun turret barrels were rotating in a different direction than all other barrel-based weapons. This particular kind of madness 😵💫 had to be stopped.
In addition, this update fixes several minor issues from the previous update, as well as a few additional bugs. That should cover everything for now. No further surprises are expected 🫡.

Game Client - Mandatory Update
Patch Notes ( v.2.0.1116.0 )
• AH-Machinegun, Gun Turrets, and Hurricane barrel now rotate in third person when firing
• Added chat history feature allowing you to browse, edit, and reuse the last 50 chat messages
• Added the ability to copy chat messages from the in-game chat using CTRL + C
• Added a new menu option to enable or disable weapon fire lighting effects
• Fixed gun turret pitch and yaw visibility being limited to ~100 meters
• Fixed an issue where the MP5 and SPARC-Rifle played a duplicate reload sound
• Fixed an issue where resetting screen FX on first spawn could cause unintended visual blending
• Fixed an issue where object view distance differed between client-hosted and dedicated servers
• Fixed an issue where creating a client-hosted server could cause two menu sounds to play simultaneously
• Removed the obsolete and no longer selectable Low Spec Mode from certain graphics settings
• Updated the C1-Launcher ( Crysis.exe ) to version V8
• Various minor optimizations and adjustments ( 16 sub-items )
Comrade released the new version of the C1-Launcher yesterday in version 8. We have been using version 6 here on CryServ for the past two years, as the original Crysis.exe causes many issues on Windows 10 and especially Windows 11.
We have been testing version 8 internally for about a week now, and the game is significantly more stable. Most importantly, it is finally fully usable in 4K. I personally experienced only a single crash in approximately 20 hours of usage.
We hope you enjoy these changes, and as always, we appreciate your feedback.

• Disabled map background music on client-hosted servers to match dedicated server behavior
• Fixed FGL40 remote grenades bouncing off glass surfaces
• Various additional optimizations and improvements ( 41 sub-items )

After a quick chat with the server operators, the update will roll out later tonight.

Patch Notes ( v.2.0.1114.0 )
• The AV-Machinegun now features auto-zoom functionality, in line with the ShiTen and AH-Machinegun
• Revive-related post-processing and fade effects are now consistently cleared
• Vehicle windows now remain transparent when vehicles are in a frozen state
• Multiple material issues related to the frozen layer have been resolved
• Fixed the scoreboard remaining visible after map changes when alt-tabbing back into the game on Windows 11
• Fixed UI animations playing too fast after alt-tabbing back into the game ( Credits to FAPP )
• Various minor optimizations and adjustments ( 27 sub-items )
Some fixes in this update are another example of issues that seem minor until they’re resolved - the lingering screen effects after respawn being one of them. Once fixed, it becomes clear how distracting and out of place they actually were.
Vehicle windows are now completely transparent when vehicles are in a frozen state, matching the transparency that was already correctly set on some vehicles. This significantly improves first-person visibility, as the freezing effect previously made driving from this perspective very difficult - or nearly impossible.

Patch Notes ( v.2.0.1112.0 )
• Resolved issues with Explosives and Glass Surfaces
• Resolved issues with Ammunition and Glass Surfaces
• Various minor optimizations and adjustments ( 4 sub-items )
In Crysis, explosives such as frag grenades, smoke grenades, EMP grenades, and flashbangs were unable to pass through glass surfaces. Instead, they would always bounce back as if hitting an invisible wall - even when the glass had already been destroyed. This often led to unintended situations where players would accidentally harm themselves.
This issue has now been fixed. Explosives can now properly break glass when thrown and can also be thrown through already shattered windows without being blocked. In addition, some ammunition types had issues penetrating glass reliably - this has also been fixed.

• Added missing "?" key to the virtual chat keyboard
• Corrected 😋 emoji mapping to ":p"
• Corrected 😛 emoji mapping to ":P"
After the release, we noticed that two emoji mappings were unintentionally reversed, and that the original virtual keyboard was missing a “?” key entirely. To fully wrap up this Tier 2 topic, we’ve applied these fixes immediately, before too many of you downloaded today’s update.

With Tier 1, we introduced several foundational chat improvements, including Cyrillic support, copy & paste, a chat command history with arrow-key navigation, a remaining character counter, increased character limits, and an adaptive cursor. All of these systems have now been revised and expanded as part of Tier 2.
We hope you enjoy these changes, and as always, we appreciate your feedback.
