“Stay on target”: Helldivers 2 gets a big performance patch with upscaler support, but it isn’t working brilliantly for everybody

Helldivers 2 has released a significant update that enhances performance by introducing support for advanced upscaling technologies, including FSR 3.1.5, FSR 4.0.3 for select GPUs, DLSS 4.5, and XeSS 3.0. The update also includes variable rate shading, dynamic resolution scaling, and fine-tuned performance settings for high reflection scenarios. New resolution options for advanced monitors and improved VRAM management are part of the patch. Developers at Arrowhead collaborated with Nixxes Software for these enhancements. Community reactions have been mixed, with some players expressing frustration over certain features, particularly regarding DLSS implementation and lower frame rates. However, players appreciated a fix for a glitch that prevented manual climbing of small obstacles. Arrowhead plans to introduce extended Galactic War campaigns with branching outcomes this summer.

A conversation with Infinity Ward about Call of Duty

Morgan Park visited Infinity Ward to discuss the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, gaining insights from multiplayer creative director Joe Cecot and design lead Jacky Reynolds.

The campaign narrative will continue its “ripped from the headlines” approach, balancing realism with escapism. Map design will focus on gunplay, with a specific map called Coal featuring verticality. Details about the Warzone mode remain undisclosed. Reynolds noted the evolution of player expectations for weapon customization, and Cecot addressed the community's concern regarding the “update requires restart” prompt, stating efforts are being made to resolve it.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Unofficial PC Port Released

The first unofficial native PC port of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess has been released, allowing players to experience the game without emulation. This PC version features uncapped framerates, enabling gameplay beyond 30FPS or 60FPS. The developers used a system called Dusk, which allows the game to render frames faster than the game world updates while maintaining the original game's behavior. The port includes full Gyro aim support, compatibility with the Steam Deck, and several quality-of-life improvements such as fast climbing, dialogue skipping, quick transformations, and using Sun’s Song to alter the time of day. Players need to provide their own North American (NTSC) or European (PAL) GameCube ROM file of Twilight Princess, as support for the Wii version is not available. Sharing download links for ROM files is prohibited. Other unofficial PC ports are available for titles like Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, and Crash Team Racing.
