The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    email message just received

    We recently became aware of suspicious activity relating to some of Crytek’s websites, and acted quickly to take those websites offline for security reasons.

    The sites listed below are currently offline:

    Crytek.com
    Mycryengine.com
    Crydev.net
    MyCrysis.com

    The following Crytek sites remain online and are not affected by these issues:

    GFACE.com
    Crysis.com
    Warface.com

    If you have an account at crydev.net or mycrysis.com, you will be asked to change your password next time you log in. If you use your current password anywhere else online, we would also suggest that you reset it at those sites.

    We are working on getting all websites fully operational again as soon as possible. Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience.

    The Crytek Team

    Seems their nanoweb technology isn't up to snuff.

    Every studio is suffering from the same heartbreak; most companies use the same crappy level of security, thinking they are protected, but the reality is systems since the Global Recession began should've been upgraded.
