It is time to give some news.
First of all, the release of the new update has been delayed. Why ?
Because i am currently in the process of soft rebooting the mod. The goal is to stay true to OG art direction and post processing, especially OG TOD's .
The natural and "photorealistic" look of Crysis 1 was a bit lost in the previous versions due to bad changes about TOD's and lighting, and heavy usage of Reshade in order to correct it. It is going to be fixed, and you will get back this natural look, in addition of every others visual improvements the mod has to offer.
In order to achieve that, i am in the process of remaking a huge number of materials while still improving the levels. The wait will be worth it, i promise, and it will bring a huge step forward compared to the 2021 update in every single metric you can imagine on the visual side.
SirLancevrot (click to check his YouTube channel), a veteran Cryengine 2 modder, is working with me on the project and is taking care of improving vanilla shaders and creating new ones.
I am sharing with you some pictures and videos. Check all the pictures and videos in the images and videos tab.
Thanks for reading, and again, the wait will be absolutely worth it.

The mod is dead for 4/8K textures, they don't have access to the 4/8K textures or are not providing them anymore. Several people have asked about the 4/8K texture, and all those questions have gone unanswered. If I'm incorrect, then please tell us how to get the 4/8K textures.
Hello. The old link is dead, i don't have the old 4K/8K ones anymore.
You'll have to wait for the next version of the mod, I will release the updated 4/8K source textures pack.
Thanks
Hey, the new direction towards the original Crysis 1 visual design sounds really promising, I'm looking forward to it! Thank you for both following your goal of improving the game and at the same time building on the game's strengths - the game's aesthetics and art language (is that a term in English?) are definitely one of its (many) highlights. And, also, many thanks for all the time and work you put into the mod. However long it takes, take your time to do what you want to, the way you want to, and at a pace you want to. I'll be happy to wait for it! :)
Thanks for your words. Trying to achieve the best outcome possible for Crysis, step by step.
Well this looks cool,really looking forward to what's coming in 2024.Thank you
Thanks to you.
Any way to force the game to run at borderless window mode?
Probably by using software like borderlessgaming, you can try it .
Really like the new changes you guys made to the mod in the pictures. It's now more true to the vanilla look but also have made the wooden and house textures to be more "worn" while still looking vanilla. Which is actually an improvement even over the old "HD" textures since the island's villages are supposed to be old and worn down. I also like how more "clean" some of the textures look without an exaggerated "contrast" or looking like they were just HD textures slapped into the game. Really gives it a nice OG vibe that's true to the art direction.
Thanks, you exactly pinpointed the ambitions of the update!
