I don't think I had any of these problems prior to Installing the update but i do now. Very confusing.

so the 40mb patch is up for us 360 players?

The patch that everyone downloaded to their xbox's was not the patch described in the sticky. There is no way it could be, for a couple reasons:
-Many people on the forums still have the issues they claim will be fixed in the patch (loud ass crappy music anyone?)
-The latest downloadable patch for this game was 3mb. Which is not nearly enough modified code to patch the laundry list of issues they posted in the sticky.

thanks nick.

as i have said before: so the 40mb patch for ps3 and pc released yesterday, has been released on the 31st as a 3mb patch for xbox?? doubtful, as microsoft is yet to release for xbox.

As someone mentioned earlier, the approval process for a patch update with Microsoft is a bit more thorough and as such takes longer. Heres hoping it comes out this week ?_?

i hear ya, ps3 is known for rushing patches out and they have problems still with most online games.

This is correct. I'm guessing the patch is going through Xbox Live certification so we'll have it in a week or so. And it's funny that they mention the release is March 31st but dont release the patch notes till April 4th.
Odd...

yes thank you. everyone is up in arms. just wait till the end of the week, if nothing still in terms of a 40mb or so patch, then something is wrong.

I love how you guys basically invented a 40mb patch in your minds. There are no signs that such a patch exists, yet you discuss it like it's a certainty.

...check the pc and ps3 forums

...check the pc and ps3 forums

dude, thats the pc and ps3 patch! you really can't compare the platform versions in this matter. i.e. both pc and ps3 require an installation to play the game. the xbox doesn't. imho that's a far better explanation for the different file sizes, than a phantom patch..

While the PC and the PS3 both require an installation, and the code does look differently on the different platforms, a lot of the same 'logic' is going to apply across the board for all of the games. It's not like they were going to code movement and shooting differently if they didn't have to. All of the differences in code, at least between the PS3 and 360 version, are simply so they each respectively work on the given platform. Installation or not, modifying the underlying logic within that code is going to be somewhat the same regardless of platform, therefore the file size of the patch will be similar. Maybe not exactly the same, but much bigger than 3mb.

thats great, but i am going by what cry-tom said as the 3mb update from the 31st was for behind the scenes work and there is still a larger update addressing the list of problems coming later in the week (same as what ps3 and pc got yesterday) although it may not be exactly 40mb, 3mb is way too small.

whoops nick beat me too it.

I wish Cry-Tom would just update the OP in that sticky to clarify what's going on here as it's causing even more people to complain that the patch fixed nothing. Granted, it may have caused issues on PC and PS3, but that's moot at this point in time as we don't have it for 360 yet so we don't know what effect it'll have on us.

Even funnier... if you look somewhere like GameFAQs, you see some people saying they've seen a lot of improvements since the patch, some who notice no difference, and others who say things are worse. It's like a placebo affect from all angles. As far as I'm concerned, no one has the patch yet on 360.

Just bad communication on Crytek's part with us. Here's to hoping the patch does help with some things when we finally do get it.

That's what I'm going with too. The placebo effect is hilarious.

i agree, 360 does not have said patch yet and it may make things worse or better for people judging from the other forums. time will tell.
