Available versions of the patch:

• English (US UK)
  
• French (FR)
  
• German (DE)
  
• Italian (IT)
  
• Spanish (ESP)
  

Here is the list of fixes and major notes:

AMD64 Patch additions

• There is a known issue with the external application settings tool and newer GPU's. Using the auto detect feature in-game will properly detect and apply the correct systems settings.
  
• Resolved an issue where the dedicated/non-dedicated Server server crashes when a user uses “ \rcon start_server “ console command
  
• There is a known issue in Multiplayer where entering or exiting a ladder may cause the user gun to disappear. The client simply needs to switch weapons to make the gun reappear.
  
• Uninstalling the AMD64 bit version will not remove the CD-key. To manually remove the CD-key or Ubi.com settings from the registry, follow these steps: Click Start / Run. Tyep “regedit†and press enter. Navigate through the registry tree in the left window to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Crytek\FarCry\Ubi.com. Right click on the CD Key registry and click delete.
  
• Server and client versions of patch 1.31 and 1.32 will work together but it is highly recommended that users up-grade to the same patch version of both the client and the server.
  
• To ensure that opening movies play correctly the user must install the same language version of the AMD64 bit patch that is resident on their computer.
  
• Fixed a graphical issue with tunnel textures in the Stronghold map.
  
• Punk Buster is not enabled on the AMD64 version and Punk Buster toggles do not appear in server menus.
  
• Fixed an issue in Multiplayer where a player occasionally gets stuck on geometry in the mp_gorge_amd64 map.
  
• Fixed an issue where LAN server disappears from the LAN Server List after using the cvar “sv_severtype lanâ€. Note “SV_servertype UBI/LAN†should only be used before-creating a new server via console to define the type of the server. It will not change the status of an existing server.
  
• Optimized and refactored code to take advantage of 64 bit architecture
  
• Added Offset bump mapping support
  

Patch 1.32 change log

• Fixed a Shader Model 3.0 issue that caused graphics corruption on new ATI hardware.
  
• Set the game to detect nVidia hardware to avoid shaders being compiled at run time.
  
• Recompiled the 32-bit version with a different version of STL to address some server slowdowns.
