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.

This is a generic 32-bit version of the InstallShield 3 setup engine. This file can be used as a replacement installer for games that use 16-bit versions of InstallShield 3.
 
To determine if the game uses InstallShield, check the list of files that are in the setup directory (normally, there should be a dedicated folder for the installer somewhere on the game disk). If the file "_inst32i.ex_" is included, then the game uses InstallShield in some form.
 
From there, the version of the installer currently used needs to be verified to ensure that the replacement file will work. In the setup folder, find a "SETUP.EXE", "SETUP32.EXE", or other similarly named files. Once the installer is found, right click it, select "Properties", and go to the "Version"/"Details" tab. If the "Product version" and/or "File version" fields have a value along the lines of 3.xx.xxx.x, then the game uses version 3 of the setup engine and is compatible with this file.
 
For specific details on installer use, check the game article that requires it.
