Crytek has released Crysis Remastered’s 2.1 update, which adds DLSS and fixes numerous bugs. Users with compatible graphics cards could see a welcome performance uptick of 40 percent when using DLSS. Crytek has noted that it is still working on graphical anomalies with faraway textures appearing blurry, however. A user on r/Crysis says that the problem could be fixed by setting a negative LOD bias in the NVIDIA driver. There are also some raytracing bugs being worked on that result in discoloration of vehicle windows when it is set to very high or “Can it run Crysis?” modes.
The Crysis franchise is famous for pushing the visual boundaries, so adding DLSS support was a natural fit. NVIDIA DLSS is an amazing technology and gives a huge performance boost to Crysis Remastered, allowing players to get even more out of the game and their hardware.

Crytek community manager Ic3man2k said that some amazing additions are coming soon for the Xbox and PlayStation versions and to keep an eye on Crysis’ discord and social channels for details. These updates could be released as early as one or two weeks. For those who have not picked up the game yet, the Epic Games Store currently has it on sale for 50 percent off ($14.99) until March 22.
