Two days ago, we informed you about the second major update for Crysis Remastered. Since Crytek claimed that this patch brings some CPU improvements, we’ve decided to re-test the game. Unfortunately, though, it appears that this second update complete breaks the vegetation physics/interactions.
Let’s start with some good news first. Crytek has overhauled the old-classic nanosuit for Crysis Remastered. The team has removed the awful UI effect from the Armor mode and increased overall movement. Furthermore, Speed Mode consumes energy quicker now (and feels similar to the original version). Crytek has also addressed the crouching issues, and has implemented a “quick throw” grenade. Not only that, but players can use iron-sights by simply hitting the right mouse button (they no longer have to keep it pressing). To be honest, Crysis Remastered now feels and plays like the original Crysis.
There is only one difference between them now, and that’s the “power momentum“. In the original Crysis, players could use Speed Mode, switch to Power Mode, and – while keeping the momentum of Speed Mode – high jump. This no longer happens in Crysis Remastered. Still, Crysis Remastered now feels like Crysis, so that’s great.
However, we did not experience any CPU improvements on our main PC system. In order to test the game, we used an Intel i9 9900K with 16GB of DDR4 at 3600Mhz. We’ve paired this system with an NVIDIA RTX 2080Ti. We also used Windows 10 64-bit and the latest version of the GeForce drivers.
The sunrise section from the first level (which is CPU-bound) ran exactly the same with the original version at 720p with our custom Very High settings. So while Crytek claims that there are CPU improvements, we did not experience any performance boost.
Not only that, but this patch completely breaks vegetation physics/interaction. This is obviously a bug, however, you should be aware of it. My guess is that Crytek will fix it via a future update (though I hope we get a hotfix sooner than that). Below you can find a video showcasing this issue.
Stay tuned for more!

from incompetence to just being clueless did they hired monkeys to develop that thing?
Monkeys would do it right.
Wow the game such a mess. Crytek sure lose their way after the original Crysis.
Crysis – DeMaster
That’s just “EPIC”
Fascinating findings, John.

Jusr change the name Crysis to Crisis.
This game3 is a joke!
“Latest Crysis Remastered Update completely breaks vegetation physics/interactions”
Crytek is broken and they have been so for over a decade. They should just go away and stop bothering us gamers.
Maybe they eliminated physics and called it cpu improvement,funny thing is even without physics john saw no improvement.this is way worse than just a mess.this crap is an insult to the fans of the original game and pc gaming community.damn this is even low for console standards!
Yep, it was an impressive feat getting Ryse: Son of Rome to run as it did on a platform as dire as Xbone.
Crysis – Trashmaster
smort
Epic fail! Game is sh*t and should be free or $ 1 like Anthem.
Oof when remaster from peasant codebase
Title should be ‘Crytek can’t run Crysis’
at this point Crytek should given up. what is their goal with this remaster? they want to showcase their hardware agnostic RT but they patch it in into their older engine that are well known to have quite an issue even back then.
More bs from the bs console port.
The fact that they touched the vegetation physics at all suggests that they are working on fixing the animations. Deactivating them entirely hardly makes them worse than the 10 fps eye cancer before lol
Now the game is worth its name
