Crytek has released update 1.2.0 for Crysis Remastered. The update brings plenty of improvements to the popularly maligned title, such as CPU optimizations, refined ray tracing, smarter enemy behavior, and additional control settings.

Update 1.2.0 also addresses a bevy of bugs, which include melee attack and power jump errors in classic suit mode, HDR issues, and hair color of soldiers changing depending on camera position (yes, really).

Unfortunately, a number of serious issues remain. Using borderless mode, for one, locks the game to the display’s refresh rate. Alt + Tab may also cause lag.

There’s no indication of whether Crytek ever plans to add the missing Ascension level back.
