Greatly improved game performance (framerate)
Achieved through the tweaking of many, many game CVars the framerate is now stable and higher compared to the stock game settings, while maintaining and on other points improving the visual quality Crysis is famous for.
Custom Time of Day settings with XToD 1.3
By editing each game's level Time of Day settings a unique look and feel has been added to the game. Many different sunrises and sunsets have been added aswell as large daytime adjustments.
Improved ice based level performance
Remember when you played through the game thinking performance was fine until you stumbled upon one of these snowy levels? Here aswell performance has been fixed, no more huge framerate drops and lower fps. I achieved a steady 30 fps on 'Paradise Lost' and other icy parts throughout the game.
A new installer, making life easier
A new installer has been written to make the install of XConfig 1.3 as smooth as possible. I went through a lot of pain trying to get it working which is the reason this release has been so much delayed. I have managed to get everything working now and more detailed installation instructions can be found below.
How to install
All you have to do is download the installer from the FileFront link. After downloading it, run it and select your prefered config level, there are 5 different levels based on different levels of hardware capabilities. The installer will give instructions on what configuration file to pick for your system.
After choosing the desired configuration level, select if you want to install modified Time of Day files (XToD 1.3) (more info on this above), you can choose to make a backup of the original files, not to make a backup, or not even install XToD.
After this, the screen with the installation folder will appear. Browse to your appropriate Crysis directory, a default example is already set in the installer: "C:/Program Files/Electronic Arts/Crytek/Crysis". This ofcourse doesn't have to be your specific directory, so press browse to change it if needed.
After this the installation will handle itself and upon ending it will open your Crysis folder. If you have selected to install modified Time of Day files, please run inject_tod.bat (or inject_tod_bak.bat if you have selected to install with backup) to inject XToD. Else it won't modify anything.
How to play PunkBuster safe and other keybinds
To play on PunkBuster enabled Crysis multiplayer servers, all you have to do is press F11 before going into a multiplayer server. This will change a command to ensure you can play totally fine on those servers, else you have the chance to get kicked out.
After finishing multiplayer play, all you have to do is press F10 again to refresh the original config. This can be done at all times, so it may come in handy when you are testing the differences between stock performance and XConfig performance.

This screwed up my game. After I installed it, I wanted to change the reso so i did (I was in fullscreen at this time). But then I couldn't play in fullscreen after I had changed the reso. So I uninstalled it and then it still wouldn't let me play in full screen.

ToD
"Does the TOD work with Sandbox and any maps you create in the editor, or will it revert back to the default settings?"
The ToD will not automatically apply to any new maps you make if that's what you mean. You can extract the ToD out of my modified level's though and add it to your own levels if you wish
