10 Updates To Video Games That Completely Broke Everything
5. The "Final" Update Let Enemies See Through Walls - Far Cry
Crytek released the 1.4 patch for their 2004 FPS classic Far Cry in 2006, and it was intended to be the final update for the game, largely concerned with fixing minor bugs.
Except, 1.4 also introduced its own major glitch to the game, as enemies were now able to see and even fire their guns through walls and tents, which is pretty much the definition of a game-breaking bug.
Of course, players could simply roll their game back to an earlier version or install one of the many fixes released by the fan community, but it wasn't until last year, some 13 years after Far Cry came out, that an official hotfix was actually released for the GOG version of the game.
