Hello everyone,

Once again I want to point out that a lot of your earlier anger was misplaced. Actually, our colleagues at Ubisoft are extremely interested in making this game a success, they care about our opinion and yours, and everyone we work with there is understanding and cordial and more than willing to listen and change their mind.

Having said that, I'm glad to announce that the debacle has been resolved.

We will be making the filter optional, however turned on by default. And we will be adding a large epilepsy warning to our splash screen. I am almost certain that this update will hit the steam servers on March 30th and thus seamlessly make it onto everyone's machines when the game is installed on the 31st.

The March 30th update will also address some of the issues reported with the Russian version, but we'll provide more details with the patch notes once we know for sure what it'll contain. Obviously, we need to test the heck out of all the changes to make sure we don't introduce any new bugs while fixing the old ones (the team's favorite past time lately as it seems).

So there! Do a happy dance, I know I did.

As a diagnosed and confirmed Epileptic, I thank you and Ubisoft for seeing sense. I appreciate the opportunity to "Play at my own risk". Its nice to know I won't have to contact the Epilepsy foundation of America to get them to talk sense into Ubi and make this 'safety feature' optional. Particularly since "photo sensitive" epileptics are not common to all the very small minority of the population that has seizures.

Again, thank you.

(Does a Happy Dance) :grin::grin::grin::grin::grin:

This is the best news since I first heard you were making SOW:BOB. I am so glad common sense can prevail here. Think I'll go make my pre-order now.

And wich version are you gonna play ? Would it be safe for you to play the "unfiltered" version ? :confused: It seems that COD has highly scored in the tests mesuring "epilectic inducing seizure"...But you must know by now where are you personnal limits...;)

Salute !

Thank you so much for this information. I can't express how happy this news made me, especially considering all the bad vibes that have been moving around this forum recently.

I feel like some part of me that believes that we can have nice things has been re-vitalized.

Haha! We are not alone !

"DirectX 11 Support To Reach Crysis 2 Sometime Today
12:11 AM - OhmWrecker - 35 Comments
According to the guys at Maximum PC Crysis 2 should receive a DirectX 11 patch today which will also unlock an advanced graphics menu in-game.
Crysis 2 already looks amazing in DX9 mode, so it'll be interesting to see how much more DX11 adds to the visuals. Thanks goes out to "N Baker" for the tip!

Update: Uh oh, it looks like Maximum PC's sources were a bit off on the release date. Crytek's Tiago Sousa did indeed confirm that they were working on DX11 features on his Twitter account, but he did not give a date. Sousa's tweet has since been removed, and Crytek Community Manager Tom Ebsworth issued the following statement:

No patch was ever confirmed, I have no idea why this website even posted such information. This thread is locked just the same as the others for trying to spread inaccurate information. When there are any big announcements regarding Crysis 2 they will be posted on MyCrysis, if you read something about a patch for example, but don't see it on MyCrysis.com, then it isn't genuine."

DX9...Looking great...New Engine...No DX11 yet...False rumors...
Sounds familiar ? ;)

Salute !

Great news, thank you, 1C.

YAAAAAAAAAY!!!! You're the best luthier! Almost choked on my morning coffee there. Great news.
