Спустя некоторое время после таинственного исчезновения ссылок на скачку желаемого некстген апдейта, кудесники из Crytek обнародовали информацию:
"Crysis 2 PC patch 1.9 AND the DX11 and High Res Texture packages will be made available on MyCrysis.com on Monday June 27th!"
27 июня, понедельник, вот.
Собсна, сами паки можно уже скачать с торрентов, только для их работы\активации потребуется патч 1.9, 27 июня, понедельник.
В пакет обновления входят визуальные улучшения и оптимизация производительности как для DX11 так и для DX9
В наличие так же графический режим "Ultra" с поддержкой "Realtime Local Reflections" и "Contact Shadows" (для DX9 включительно)
и ряд специфичных DX11-улучшений (Tessellation, Motion Blur, Parallax Occlusion Mapping и т.п.)
Пакет "High Res Textures" обеспечит более высоким разрешением текстур на обоих Directx.
