Far Cry v1.1

Details

1. We are aware of an issue causing players connecting to an internet based
multiplayer game to drop their connection and timeout during a connect. If you
find your connection stalling when joining a server, we recommend that players
retry the connection until it succeeds.
2. When hosting games on LAN with punkbuster, please remember to enable pb_sv_lan
1 pb_sv_guidrelax 7.
3. We strongly recommend players host multiplayer games only through FarCry
dedicated server.

- Added new netcode optimizations, vehicles now use significantly less bandwidth
in client to server updates. Mounted weapons no longer generate packets when
not being used. Included various other packet compressions.
- Added network commands to help players tune the network rates for better performance,
including the following commands:

cl_cmdrate – Limit the number of command packets sent from client to
server
sv_maxcmdrate – Limit the max cmd rate clients can specify
cl_updaterate – Limit the number of update packets sent from the server

sv_maxupdaterate – Limit the max updates clients can specify
cl_maxrate – Max bits per second can be adjusted
sv_maxrate_lan or sv_maxrate (for non lan, ie internet) will limit the cl_rate
allowed on the clients
sv_DedicatedMaxRate – To change the server update speed

- LAN servers now restricted to LAN IP’s
- Configurable ubi.com ports sv_auth_port (port directing ubi.com cdkey authentication)
