Crysis 2 DirectX 11 Upgrade-Pack und High-Res-Texturen erhältlich (Update)
Es scheint soweit zu sein, denn nachdem auf der Seite von Crytek bereits erste Vergleichs-Screenshots und auch Links zum DirectX 11 Upgrade-Pack und den High-Res-Texturen zu sehen waren (die allerdings noch ins Leere führten), verteilen sich die beiden Dateien gerade fleißig durch das Netz. Crytek hat inzwischen bekanntgegeben, dass der Patch 1.9 erst am Montag erscheinen soll, dieser ist aber Voraussetzung für das Upgrade Pack und die High-Res Texturen. Neben dem DirectX-11-Modus wird auch ein spezieller Benchmark enthalten sein.
"The DX11 Ultra Upgrade is a free visual improvement add-on introducing DirectX 11 support as well as a wealth of graphical improvements and performance optimization for both DX11 and DX9 API's. When using the new "Ultra" spec, DX9 platforms will beneficiate from realtime local reflections and contacts shadows. The owners of DX11 platforms, in addition, will be able to enjoy hardware tessellation (requires the installation of the "Tessellation Package"), parallax occlusion mapping and several improvements for shadows, water, particles, depth of field and motion blur."

Update:
Es tut uns leid, aber wir mussten die Downloads doch wieder offline nehmen. Zwar konnten wir die Bandbreite limitieren, was wir allerdings nicht limitieren können sind die Zugriffe mit denen unser Server belastet wird.
