Crysis Monthly Update #1: Community Q&A - Place Your Questions Here!
Community: Upcoming Q&A – Ask The Devs Now!
Greetings community!
A long time has passed since our last community driven Question & Answer session. Now we want to kick off the whole new wave of upcoming community activities with a Q&A especially for you.
If you feel you have very important questions that definitely need to be answered by the development team you now have the chance to submit them. Whether it is related to this monthly update, to Crysis or to Crytek in general, the choice is totally up to you. To do so, simply place your questions into this thread.
In the last monthly update we encouraged you to send in questions for our new ongoing Community Q&A feature. Due to the huge amount of questions we had to pick a few from the list which we have answered in our first part. Within the upcoming weeks we are going to answer more of your questions, so just keep on posting them in your favorite forums.
Note:
Please keep in mind that we might delete off-topic posts in order to keep the thread organized and clean. 
cheers,
-alex

ok, here's my (modder) question (hope it will get published)
We all know that Crytek will develop Crysis II and III for the pc, and I don't think the engine will be heavily modified; will you keep the same editor (Sandbox 2) in order to make it "universal", that means it can be used to modify and create content for any of the three games? If yes, will it be possible to combine the games' resources to create a level that can be played with the newer Crysis game out, if the user has a previous Crysis "episode"?
Thanks for your time if you decide to answer

My question
In the future are Crytek planning to expand to other genres of game? We know that you're going cross-platform, but does this mean a new style of genre (e.g RPG/RTS) or are you sticking with the style of gameplay you've been developing for the last few years?
Thanks for reading

RE: Crysis Monthly Update #1: Community Q&A - Place Your Questions Here!
It's quite obvious that Crytek wants to support the modding community, with this portal, the sdk, official tutorials and what not. However there's one critical part that's missing, an autodownloader ingame. Not a lot of people visit crysis fan sites and/or crymod and download maps. Question is:
Why was the decision made not to include an autodownloader? Minimods and maps are a great way to make the multiplayer more successful.
I know mods can make an autodownloader themselves, but then you'd need to download the mod first, which is the main problem for players who don't check crymod/fansites.
FarCry didn't have one, Crysis doesn't have one, but I hope the next Crytek game WILL have an autodownloader
.

Crytek talked about creating content for Konsoles, is there any option planned to offer modding content for konsoles? (e.g. creating a level on the pc with the editor of the pc version transmit the content after finishing to the konsole harddisc)
So far,

I want to know a little bit about what you think of the assets people are creating so:
- Are you surprised about what people are making with sandbox 2 /cryengine 2? (Maybe in what ways
)
- What mods/levels are your favorites?
Well that's about what I can come up with right now

Can we have an honest report on what is in production for Crysis on the PC? New maps, features, fixes, anything would be nice to hear about.

Are there any plans for the Auto-downloader for multiplayer? Most successful titles have this, I think Crysis with the increasing custom mods should need an auto-downloader for multiplayer.

WHY, did you decide to give up on patches? Don't you think that the game will be greatly affected by this?

Hi Crytek 
. Just wondering If you will use SBX2 or something very similar to make maps with in Future releases.
Also what does Crytek think of our maps/mods that are in production or released.
Thanks for giving us this opportunity CryTek!

My quesion.
1. Why you cut spaceship destruction missions?
The way of ending have bad reputation.
You should have been able to expect it... why?
2. You will not fix capture_frames bug?
Capturing Video and Audio
Thanks Crytek.

Here we go:
Some people are thinking the Crysis story ends here, and a new story will start in Crysis 2.
That's why many are asking for expansion packs.
So, will Crysis2 continue the current story?

My only question is why are you so secretive about your future work?
I understand the need to keep surprises so patches & products aren't totally revealed, thereby spoiling the end result.
Currently, the community is always keep guessing your next move, and this generates instability and uncertainty.
Would you consider being more open in the future?
EDIT:
No. Reasons for secrecy are Marketing & Business.

RE: Crysis Monthly Update #1: Community Q&A - Place Your Questions Here!
hi -Crysis Dev Team, 
thanks for the 'community q&a'.....
so here´s mine:
| quote: |
Originally: Cevat Yerli @ PC Play Interview
We are going to support PC, but not exclusive anymore. |
so is crytek holding their plan to fulfill the (pc)-trilogy considering that the console players miss "crysis 1"?

Fell free to edit/fix my spelling and grammar or even slightly change my questions to suit a answer your able to provide.
You are confident that the things Crytek are working on will be appreciated by the community, are there any more big things been produced other than Crysis expansion pack related to PC gaming?
Stand alone expansion pack, does that mean i have to pay the price of a full game for a expansion pack?
The Australian crysis multiplayer community seams to more upset than others ..I believe this is because we do not have a stable server to use and now we feel like we never will. Will Crytek be supporting crysis enough to look at and possibly fix these issues ?
Crytek ran a official test server and we were told their was a lot of information gathered and it was been analysing. Can Crytek release any of this information to the crysis community so that it can help server administration understand some issues that are according or why they are occurring ?
"I'm sure many countless hour have been spent trying to fix server crashes from server administration and many more hours will be spent, Crytek possibly save people a lot of stress and hair loss "
Does it concern Crytek that no Australian crysis servers are stable enough to have a up time for regular map rotations ?
will Crysis Warhead multiplayer physics be enabled for direct X 9? and have same features as direct x 10?
I know Patch 1.3 may be canceled but will Crytek still be looking in to server crashers ?
"every bug of crysis i can live with but servers crashing every hour or so is very annoying, i still believe it is packets loss from Australian servers to gamespy [net 10:37:38.859] Disconnect gss13.cmg.internode.on.net:64087; profid=0; cause=14; msg='Unreachable address gss13.cmg.internode.on.net:64087' "
People keep saying Crytek haven't stopped supporting crysis, how does crytek plain to support crysis?
examples of what i call game support when not talking about patch's
*Supporting Punkbuster
*Fixing major security holes
*Fixing gamespy issue
*Fixing major bugs
*fixing ACP which was promised on box.
*Fixing issue that crash's all my local servers in some think like a server hotfix.
etc
Is there going to be more work on fixing the exclusive vehicle unlocker ?
printed on the box "inside the box Unique in-game multiplayer vehicle" but i get error's every time i try unlock it."
Was is it Crytek, EA's decision or a collaboration between both for almost certainly deciding to not release a patch 1.3 ?
When can we expect Crysis Warhead to be released?
For crysis there was big sponsored tournaments all over the world such as Crysis™ Asia Pacific Regional Tournament at EA play 2008. will there be these tournaments for Warhead?
Is crysis 2 still going to be produced ?
Why was the Crytek Anti Cheat section removed from the Crysis Public Banlist ?
"Update: 04th May
Added 29 new Bans to Punks Busted section
Removed Crytek Anti Cheat section"
Is it possible to release the source of the work Crytek did on patch 1.3 so the community can finish it ?
"It has been in development for quite a few weeks already"Crysis Weekly Update #10 - 03.04.2008 02:00
Is there a reason why it took so long to tell the community about patch 1.3 ? and when did the development on the patch finish ?
been 8 week since we got told their was a 1.3 patch coming
I do not want to die guessing, what was been developed on patch 1.3 before it was canceled or put on hold ?
"As for the content we can already say a bit, but not that much. The patch will not only include bug fixes and further game play balancing, we will also introduce new features to it"Crysis Weekly Update #10 - 03.04.2008 02:00
Was the animal in crysis meant to be a turtle or a tortoise ?
Did Crytek honestly believe there game wouldn't be pirated heavily?
Can we expect better patch support in Crysis Warhead?
Can Crytek give us their word crysis warhead multiplayer patch support will not be cancelled so early like crysis?
Can we expect better patch support in Crysis 2-3?
Do Crytek have a plains to combat piracy in the future? if can you reveal any information on the matter ?
Will Crytek use game-spy in Crysis Warhead?
Many people including my self are still upset about the patch support for crysis even with the latest news of Crysis Warhead can Crytek in a paragraph or two renew my faith?
Crysis has rumored to sold over 3 million copies can Crytek confirm this ? or give us a ruff idea ?
Why should i buy Crytek produced games in the future?
How many people were employed by Crytek before Crysis release and know many are employed now?

Ok, Crysis not making a new patch is no big deal because they said they will be doing something bigger for us
So my question is what do you guys expect to do??
Will you have engine updates for better optimization and some new features??
New assets for the community to play with like new models and stuff. For those Who cant model??
Best Regards
