Spector future Deus Ex Invisible War patch

From an interview granted Computer & Video Games , find out about what the future will bring new patch for Deus Ex: Invisible War, even from the mouth of Warren Spector:
– an increase of framerate map about 20%
–
weapon balancing – a new installer
– user interface changes

Spector: So we`ve adjusted some of the weapon balancing, Players hated our installer [laughs]. It sounds like nothing, be we wrote a new installer from scratch. We`ve also worked on performance. I`ve never done games that are blazingly fast, sadly, because I`m more interested in pouring in play features as opposed to smooth framerate – which is crazy.
But we`ve actually optimized the engine now to get about a 20 percent increase in framerate across the board. In some places it`s really dramatic.
The user interface has also had some attention – there were a few things that we should have really caught with the UI.

It seems that soft value used (was the original source said, although there was no evidence that pirate) would have amounted to about 1 million. Also, the residence of Faruk Yerli, one of the founders Crytek was searched by pirated software. Neither Crytek nor Ubisoft have not made any statement about the incident. However, if the complaint proves to be true, Crytek has awakened. And this because a former employee. Employers, beware! You can swear here. Later edit. Quote:

“The management of Crytek is grateful for the diligence of the German Police Department concerning protected software and fully cooperated in every way. As a software devloper, Crytek is always interested in properly obtaining and utilizing third party software. Development of the eagerly awaited Far Cry was only delayed for three hours while police cleared the matter with Crytek and it`s management staff.
Despite false allegations that have appeared in various media and forums, no inventory or personel were affected in any way. Crytek would like to assure its fans that completion of Far Cry remains on track.”
