Data Patch E is a behind the scenes update and is automatically downloaded when entering Multiplayer. Patch E contains the following tweaks:

• Point blank damage modifier severely reduced for SCAR, FY71, Grendel
• Point blank damage modifier moderately reduced for Mk60, Scarab and O.G.R.
• Accuracy boost for DSG1/Gauss when stationary with scopes other than Sniper Scope
• Scale of Mike's muzzle flare reduced significantly
• Rapid Fire effectiveness reduced
• Point Fire Enhance effectiveness reduced
• Heavy Weapon Pro effectiveness reduced
  

If you see something like this at the bottom left of your main multiplayer screen, then you have the patch.


If you can not see it and this post says the patch is live, chances are your copy of the game didn't manage to download and verify it in time. Simply return to the Single Player menu and click back into Multi Player or restart the game, entering MP will usually resolve the issue as it will have been downloaded already but not verified.

If you do not have the patch you will be unable to play against players who do, so you may have less matches available to your (or no official dedicated servers on PC). This is very unlikely to happen and can be resolved by returning to the Single Player menu and back to Multi Player.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouf

This is awesome. Thanks to the crytek staff for getting these problems fixed.

I'm liking what I see so far. I suppose the Expanded Arsenal Jaw bug needs a full patch?

It will be interesting to see with the reduced point blank damage modifier if people begin using more SMG's. In my opinion the SMGs in Crysis 3 are under powered which leads to them being under used, at least prior to this patch.

Omfg YES, awesome, brilliant!

I suspect the Bow auto-aim and ExpArsenal glitch is something that is probably far more hard-coded on PC and Crytek needs more time to figure it out.

But as Omega said, I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth, those are all VERY welcome changes. We'll take what we can get, the playerbase needs it!

Go Patch E!

Also please don't forget the Glitch Thread Crytek, there are still many that need fixing! Thanks.

Don't forget to update the module descriptions this time. (Unlike C2).

I'm hoping the Feline pulverises the Scar after this patch.

Also what about M12 Nova point blank modifier? 2 bullets (to the foot) is a little bit too easy.

sounds promising.

Great to hear, now we need Auto Armor modified and fix the auto aim for bow and I'll be more glad to play this game than ever.
Ok, not that glad, there are still tons of good players abusing OP loadouts out there. :/
