Today (saturday/sunday) finally Crysis 1 network was compleatly (before it was only a little bit there) moved to www.CryMP.Net - Crysis Multiplayer Network. With new layout and dasign, new comfortable functions and simple to use website.

Also new version of SafeWriting SSM and Client side mod were released.

All looks and works fine but will be tested during next days to remove any bugs. I'm sure this time all will be very friendly and easy for players.

Finally new version of Multiplayer Client - v7.1 is ready to download. I was trying to suggest all things that could make this client more friendly for all users. Zi was able to make all requested changes in very short time.

Version that we have now - with in-game servers list (console version) not required registration to play - and great looking maps autodowloader can be considered amazing solution for Crysis 1 MP.

Joining by websites servers list is also possible as before. New thing is that also on this portal all servers are listed with pictures of maps that I've requested for more friendly view.

    It's about 7 PM Central European Time and looks like GameSpy stopped working. No-one can login. Crysis as we knew it - won't exist anymore. It looks that last 16 days that we had with old kind of Crysis were just extra days to say goodbye to old, basic Crysis.
    From now will have to use patches to play on servers. Soon tutorials and downloads also on this portal.

    So far both great solutions are working, Zi's network solution is confirmed and has been tested in 2 hours before my own eyes - right after GameSpy's disconnection.
    Also patch from german community is ready to download and testing. We hope all will work like that for next years and we will have a choice which version we want to play. Unless old Crysis MP will be back again someday.
    PS. Remember that you can use more than one version of your Crysis on one PC. You can still use your DVD, original version with Zi's solution, even if you want to patch it with finall patch of german community.

It's 1st of July but GameSpy is still alive
- It's almost 5 o'clock in the evening - and 10 in the morning in US. So maybe admins are still sleeping and forgot to turn the servers off. Maybe they will forget for next 20 years. I'm sure nobody would hate them for this kind of mistake :) Let's just wait and see...

UPDATE 1: Well - it's 3rd of July and masterserver is still working. Nobody knows why. No info about that. Maybe it will stay this way till the end of the century. What do you think ?

UPDATE 2: It's 12th of July and GameSpy still works. No info what's going on from EA or GLU. Nobody knows for sure. Isn't that strange? Anway - would be nice to hear that Crysis MP can work for next years the way it has before. Let's hope it's possible - if not - we still have our patching solutions. Just have fun. We will see.

In 2 days we will have different Crysis multiplayer. We still are not sure if both solutions (GC's and Zi's) will work 100% fine after 30th of June. I guess we will find out very soon. You will find info here next week.

For now I can recommend this tutorial that can be useful soon after GameSpy's final death.

So finally 7 days left till the end of GameSpy - but what we know for sure is that we will have 2 solutions. We will have 2 new, custom solutions to play Crysis in the future.

One comes from german community and works with version 1.2.1 (6156) only, other one comes from Zi; and was created for version 1.0 (5767) and 1.2.1 (6156). In 7 days we will choose the one that works better for us. Which version of Crysis and which solution.

I'm sure that I'm going to use both versions for my servers 1.2.1 because it works with in-game servers list (as before) and 1.0 because it's the best version I know for flyers :) Let's just hope community will be informed and not so many players will be lost !
