Crysis Weekly Update #6 reports that Patch 1.2 is final and approved and an internal cheat-protection system will be introduced with the upcoming patch.

"Patch 1.2 - Status Update
Not much to say about the upcoming patch 1.2 besides that it is final and approved! That means the patch is ready for distribution. Therefore this weekly update won’t include information snippets from the change log since you will be able to read the full one quite soon anyways.

We are currently preparing everything for the global launch and hope to deliver you the long awaited patch 1.2 within the next days. Be sure to check out one of the Crysis related sites to not miss the launch!


Patch 1.2 - Cheat Protection Information
As for the overall cheat protection for Crysis we got some additional news to tell you about. Not only that we introduce the internal cheat-protection with the upcoming patch, we are also working together with Evenbalance™ on improving the Punkbuster anti-cheat tool.

We have been able to resolve some of the server crashes experienced while servers are running anti-cheat solutions. In addition the auto update functionality has been improved and is working for clients as well as for game servers.

With patch 1.2 Punkbuster is getting more secure and also easier to use for both players and game servers. On the release day of the patch there will be a new server side Punkbuster configuration available that has been optimized for Crysis 1.2.

As for Crytek’s internal anti-cheat solution, there will be a guide available shortly after the patch is available. It comes with the updated version of the Crysis Server Documentation and includes a description how to properly use this anti-cheat system."
