As we’ve already reported, Crytek has released a brand new update for the PC version of Crysis Remastered. And, after testing it, we are happy to report that update 1.3.0 brings major performance increases in CPU-bound scenes.
For instance, this scene was running with 48fps at 1080p/Very High settings on our PC test system (Intel i9 9900K with 16GB of DDR4 at 3600Mhz and an NVIDIA RTX 2080Ti). With this latest update, this scene runs with 69fps, using the exact same settings. In other words, we are talking about a 43.75% performance increase in this particular scene.
Thanks to this update, we were GPU-bound at both 1440p and 4K when using the Very High settings. Again, this wasn’t the case in the previous version of the game (which was severely bottlenecked by the CPU).
Now in case you’re wondering, the game still primarily uses one CPU core/thread. However, Crytek was able to optimize the code and increase overall performance.
Not only that, but Crytek has also fixed the movement “momentum” when switching between different suit modes. In the previous version, players were losing momentum when they were switching between Speed and Power modes. To be more precise, there was a “movement pause” while you were switching modes. In this latest version, though, the movement momentum is similar to the original Crysis game. As such, you can use Speed mode (in order to run) and then switch to Power mode so you can jump really high.
Overall, we can finally recommend this remaster to those that do not own the original game. In its current state, Crysis Remastered looks and runs better than the original unmodded version. It also controls similarly to the original PC version. The only downsides are the lack of the Ascension level, and the lack of mods.

Can we just let this dumpster fire die already. Please stop throwing wood at it.
Excellent!!
Haha, where is Robo-Fernando when you need him.
LMAO
It’s slowly getting there but it’s not there, yet.
what is 43,75%? I’ve never seen a 4 digit number have a comma in it before
It’s similar to 43.75% (in some countries we use “,” instead of “.” ).
So how would you say it? Because a comma isn’t a point, I think..
Europeans use a comma instead of a period from what I know, but not sure that applies to all EU countries and also if it used for percentage as well or only for money.
How odd, I’m from the UK and I’ve never seen it before.
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator
This symbol can be a period (“.”), as is common in United States and other English-speaking countries, or a comma (“,”), as in continental Europe.
I don’t care about ascension level as it was a rubbish level anyway but why go back to making a single threaded game 13 years later from an original that had issues with being single threaded
A question i still ask myself..
Because its the xbox 360 port, it was not made from scratch. Hence why it misses the Ascension level.
Hence why it keeps the old flows (single threaded)
even a 360 port should still have 3 threads, why even port at all when the idea is just crysis levels in an already multiplatform tech like cryengine5
even for the switch you have cryengine 3 running multi-thread for Warface
Maybe because they lost the PC version source code…and grab whatever version available on the office…
Well positive news is always welcome!
“still primarily uses one CPU core/thread”

the expectation would be that they multi-threaded it properly when they switched to CryEngine 3 for the PS360 version many years ago. you would think that that version would already be multi-threading AI and physics very efficiently given that the 360 had three cores and the PS3 had even more (with each being weaker). instead what this version of the game seems to be doing is distributing a minor amount of work over a great many threads while the bulk of the work still happens on the main thread. I guess it was good enough to 20 fps on the PS360 consoles and they were GPU- or RAM-bottlenecked so no further effort went into splitting up the main thread.
For the price I would still recommend the original on GOG. With better assets and gameplay overall too.
Thats a nice gain, hope it stays true when sh*t really hits the fan while playing too
I doubt this weak console port of Crysis will ever get anywhere on PC.
PC players have always cursed the original PC version and these guys came with the brilliant idea of selling the X360 version to PC players 13 years later.
I mean, very nice strategy mates!
We’ll never figure out why you guys have gone bankrupt.
lol everybody is really in denial in the comments…????
As Papa says, this version is better than original Crysis now. (minus the missing level)
As I expected, I was right in the end.?
Always listen to boomers, kids. lol
By the way, Papa, you say there are no mods but the backfire mod was “ported” recently to the remastered version(you even wrote an article about it).
But maybe you meant no custom maps?
This too will come eventually, I have no doubt.
I don’t why and how, but whatever you write it reads “i’m stupid”
I really think that some of you guys need to read actually the articles which are posted on Dso, and not just the titles.
You don’t just read the titles and then comment without thinking, do you?
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
Lol backtracking my old comments that are not even topic-related to downvote them like a compulsive maniac won’t help you feel better, it’s just pathetic, you need Jesus
Not really. I’m not backtracking, I’m just downvoting you every time, simply because every time you comment, it’s always moronic. lol
It’s not my fault if you’re ALWAYS wrong. lol
Lol so how can you downvote this ? How is this moronic ? This is not even an opinion, you’re just pathetic https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4755a21250badce6384322c9a04d9c5a7120ea686b49dee1a9faac556f28dbcf.jpg
lol I think I already answered this.
Not my fault if you’re ALWAYS wrong.
Now go play a game or something.
It’s obvious this discussion is going nowhere.
In fact, I can’t believe that you have so much time to kill, it’s incredible.
Go reinstall Deus Ex or Vampire Bloodlines or something, and leave me alone.
“I can’t believe that you have so much time to kill”
Said the poor ba**ard who’s backtracking comments to downvote them thinking that she’s kinda hurting me lol, and replying with whole articles HAHA, seriously you need a doctor ASAP
“Go reinstall Deus Ex or Vampire Bloodlines or something, and leave me alone”
WTF is this ? Is it supposed to be funny or something ? Some kind of punchline ? You’re weird AF
Yeah right. I just checked and I don’t see how it’s possible to backtrack your stupid comments since we can’t see them. But okay, keep pretending.
Oh and I post “whole articles” maybe to prove that you’re wrong, although a few lines would have been enough, I admit.
But it’s useless to talk since you won’t even try this game.
Hmmm no punchline. It just mean “go play some good games instead of wasting your entire life online”. Life is very short and you’ll be dead in no time, but you don’t even realize it yet, poor b**tard.
Weird https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8c9d8e6cac5b3ce6a31036dc67b257d3e5de4da04f67926555cbc790c312051f.png
A+ for effort
It’s always the same with people when they’re finally proved wrong :
they resort to insults, since they don’t have any arguments anymore.
Thanks for confirming what I wrote, angry little man.? ha ha
My dear i have tons of arguments but i see no reason to share them with someone who definitely needs an eyeball surgery, you’re the only one in the entire universe who thinks Crysis had a good remaster, which made think that you need another surgery for your brain too
Not really.
I’m just following the news and I see that exactly as I expected, little by little, every fault is being corrected.
At the moment, what the f*** do you need in this game? The missing level?
By the way, “the only one in the entire universe”?
Well, again, if you actually read the article, you would see that I’m not the only one, since even Papadopoulos agrees that it runs and looks better. It’s just that Crytek and this remaster has become a meme and you feel very clever rewriting the exact pitiful comments on every article related to this game or this company.
Wow. So original, so edgy.
No, all I see is just an angry little man who looks for useless fights online because his pathetic life is empty. What is the problem, exactly, my poor keyboard warrior? No girlfriend? No job? You live in a third-world hellhole?
If you life wasn’t pathetic, you wouldn’t waste time trying to prove all the time you’re right. People who are like that usually are at the lowest level of the society, therefore they hold a grudge against everybody, and just act insulting online to feel better.
Unfortunately, it only makes their life even more miserable in the end. I’m sure you’re not feeling like you’ve accomplished anything tonight, huh? Go figure.
He’s recommending it for the people who don’t own the original, and he says it looks better than the “unmodded” original, it’s you who should read articles, but my bad if you’re too ret*rded for that.
Lol i couldn’t be more pathetic than someone who backtrack comments to downvote them and write an entire article making dumb assumptions of a random person on the internet, and go read your comment another time and check who is pathetically trying to prove his point
See, you continue.
You just want to be right at all costs.
Not a very courageous and admirable act to just follow the herd and mindlessly repeating what everybody says.
It only confirms what I said : you need that comforting feeling of empowerment. I guess you’re a minority in your neighborhood or something. It makes you feel good to think you’re in the majority.
And also, I LITERALLY rewrote what he said : it runs and looks better.
But whatever, keep pretending that you’re the one who can’t read.
And also, keep ignoring your real personal issues.
Gee, you’re the most toxic zoomer I’ve seen since in a long time.
By the way, I assume you didn’t even try that remastered version.
It runs perfectly on my PC, and if it plays now like the original game BUT looks better, then why the hell would you want to prove at all costs that this version should be avoided ?
So, shut the f*** up for a while and go play it before opening your stinky mouth.
“Miss”? LOL
Playing dress-up doesn’t make you a woman.
And what I wrote above goes for you too, Pepe.
If you don’t have any arguments and only use insults, you’re wasting time.
