Apparently a new patch came out a couple of days ago but I'm yet to see it. Is this a common problem or is it just me?

I got it, can't understand why you haven't has anyone else played your xbox?

I think you may have received the "behind the scenes" patch that dropped last week.

I'm not getting an update for the patch that is described in the sticky on the forum. That post is a bit unclear as well. It says March 31st, but was posted today on April 4th. I'm wondering if they failed to mention that said patch is waiting to be cleared by Microsoft for approval?

EDIT: Now that I think about it... maybe that is the "behind the scenes" patch. I can't remember when I got that as my short term memory svcks. Seems weird though as the way it was described by a Crytek mod, it didn't fix all of that stuff in the notes.

Confusing.

Nope just me. I hadn't played Crysis for about a week and only put it back in because I read about the patch. I've loaded the game up multiple times and there's no patch installation :s I got the first patch with no problems.

theres only one patch so far, so the first patch is the patch

no, there have been 2 updates

The general consensus is that the new patch that Crytek is posting about is currently going through approval process by Microsoft. This apparently takes 3-5 days and then they release it. PS3 has a quicker patch output process.

The first patch installed when I got the game (the day after release)... surely these new patch release notes (dated March 31st) aren't referring to that??

Oh ok, it's confusing as people are saying they have the patch but are complaining it hasnt fixed any of the listed issues. Crytek don't seem very hot on clear communication :s

No, they don't. I love their game to pieces, but their communication with their fans leaves a bit to be desired unfortunately. But hey, they just released a game they worked on for 4 long years, so you really have to cut them some slack.

I cleared my Xbox cache so any patches would have to reinstall... a patch did install but I'm certain it's the release day patch as none of the supposed fixes are actually fixed... the most apparent being the overlapping music >.<

Yeah I'm not having a go, I'm just trying to clear up my confusion regarding the patch I definitely don't have it, and it seems from some responses that other people don't think they have it either. Usually when a patch is dated on a forum the date refers to when the patch is actually available.. but it doesn't seem to be the case here.

They shouldn't have announced it until it passed through MS. But I can understand why they might have just to put some of these overly demanding people at ease to show they're working to correct problems.

This game took crytek four years to make and they couldn't get it working properly by release day!!! Is this true? If so they are an even bigger laughing stock to me. LMAO

You guys seriously have a hard time reading. The patch announced today came out on the 360 on March 31st. It was announced today because it came out on the PS3 today. It says right in the beginning, "On Thursday 31st March we released a patch for the X360 system that fixed many issues raised by the community. Today we have also released a patch for PS3." The patch they released on the 360 clearly didn't fix those issues.

I've yet to get a patch other than the "behind the scenes" patch a week or so ago. Looking forward to this one though, sounds promising!

clear your cache

Even though Cry-Tom has released patch notes, the patch improves the experience very little.

There really is no need to be snarky and your comment does nothing but bring attention to the lack of information in Cryteks post.

I don't live on these forums so I only became aware of the apparent patch today. As such, this is the first time I've loaded the game up in over a week (I stopped playing until such time that some of the major issues were patched/fixed).

Therefore it's perfectly understandable that I (and seemingly many others) would be confused when the only evidence for its existence is a forum post. Crytek didn't specify in that post that the patch was 'behind the scenes' so obviously when I load my game up and no patch is installed I'm going to wonder what's going on.

To confound the situation even further, if the game has had a BTS patch, it doesn't seem to have made any noticeable difference.

Therefore, I have to ask... does the patch actually exist? lol

The "behind the scenes" patch comment comes from a sticky in the PC forums.

The Moderators have done almost ALL of their communicating in the PC forums, with PC oriented annoucements.

The "behind the scenes" patch was to deal with in game cheating and piracy, but if you read the replies in that thread, a number of PC gamers seem to be getting banned for simply kicking everyone else's arse's a little too hard.....

I haven't noticed many changes or improvements since the March 31st patch, besides getting games with other Aussies a bit more frequently. The connection issues are still apparent as is the Migrating Host issue and the Music amplification...

I now also get a screen flicker in MP games...

I read the following in an article about the patch:

'Crytek has released the 1.02 patch for Crysis 2. The new update is now available as a download for the PS3 and Xbox 360 version of Crysis 2.'

Are we supposed to load up our Xbox's and somehow sense that a patch is being installed?? There is no visual cue and none of the supposed fixes are present. Therefore it's quite fair to wonder whether there was a patch.

Keep your derogatory comments to yourself and engage in a little logical thinking. Blind faith in an invisible patch isn't going to help anyone.

Yeah when you start the game it says there's an update being installed, which is the patch. Buuuut, every other time I play it re-installs it and every time it fixes NOTHING. I still have issues with suicidal headless chicken AI, overlapping music tracks and sound issues, dragging behind someone I tried to assassinate, ect. which the patch was supposed to have fixed. I've gotten it like 5 times now thinking a bunch of fixes were being released, but no. Even the ones that are supposed to be fixed aren't at ALL...
