Far Cry Patch #1 (v1.1) Erster Patch für die deutsche Version von Far Cry sowie für die US- und UK-Varianten. FEATURES LIST Singleplayer: Multiplayer: cl_cmdrate – Limit the number of command packets sent from client to server - LAN servers now restricted to LAN IP’s Other
1. We are aware of an issue causing players connecting to an internet based multiplayer game to drop their connection and timeout during a connect. If you find your connection stalling when joining a server, we recommend that players retry the connection until it succeeds.
2. When hosting games on LAN with punkbuster, please remember to enable pb_sv_lan 1 pb_sv_guidrelax 7.
3. We strongly recommend players host multiplayer games only through FarCry dedicated server.
