CryEngine becomes free

I remember a few years back (CryEngine 3, not CryEngine “4”), the engine need to be run with an internet connection. In other words, you can’t run it offline.

  1. Does anyone know is that the case for Cryengine V?

  2. The bigger question, I remember reading somewhere back in that same era that when you import custom assets like 3D models from other 3D program or whatever other assets into Cryengine, the model/asset gets transferred to some Crytek server behind your back. There can be many issues with this. One example is if their server crashes or stops for the day, you can’t work on your project on that day. Does this still exist in Cryengine V?

I know maybe I can ask this on the Cryengine forum, but let’s just say I have reasons to ask here instead. :slight_smile:

Thanks.
