Hey all,
we've just released the CRYENGINE 3.6.7 update, hot off the heels of the 3.6.6 release at the beginning of the month. As you may have picked up from various posts on the forums, we want to start releasing updates more frequently and we're looking at a bi-weekly release cycle to get us there. We think it gives a good balance between update frequency (time waiting for bug fixes and features) and to make it worthwhile (how many fixes/features are required to make a new update "ready for release"?).
CRYENGINE 3.6.7
As you can see from the release notes, 3.6.7 is packing a fair amount of features and fixes. You can find them right here.
Some of the highlights include:
- Further improvements to FBX support.
- New Flownodes.
- Editor UI improvements and features.
- CryDesigner Cube Editor.
- Tons of Wwise asset updates and fixes.
- New Weapon attachment setups.
- Various fixes and features requested by the Community
But make sure you check out the full release notes for more info!
We've already begun initial testing for 3.6.8 which has a bunch of cool features and fixes coming too so keep an eye out for more info on those and we hope to ship that end of the month but bear with us while we trial out this pretty extreme release cycle as it's new to us as well :)
Steam Auto Updates
With that in mind, you may not have noticed that you can now opt-out of CRYENGINE automatic updates on Steam, which is a pretty popular request coming from some larger teams working with EaaS, concerned about auto-updates impeding on their work.
In order to opt-out of the auto-updates you simply need to join a different "beta" branch in which we're archiving previous releases, starting from 3.6.5. To do this, right click on "CRYENGINE" (not Sandbox) in your Steam library, click on Properties, click on "BETAS" tab and then you'll be presented with a drop-down box where you can opt-in to different engine revisions. In order to return to the "main" branch which receives auto-updates, simply chose the "NONE - Opt out of all beta programs" option.
We hope this helps make things more flexible and as always, we welcome the feedback!
Enjoy 3.6.7 and please leave your feedback in the Latest Build Feedback forum.
