Crytek’s Crysis 3 gets its third patch today, with Patch 1.3. It’s an update for all platforms, PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox.
It has a range of bug fixes, and anti-cheat measures on PC. One interesting point is the ‘reduction of bandwidth usage‘. In a Q&A session, a Crysis 3 developer explained that reducing bandwidth usage should improve latency issues. Latency issues cause slowdowns in gameplay, which can make the game unfair and frustrating.
Read on for a full list of fixes.
