DLSS 5 can be jammed into almost any PC game, and here’s how

Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission when purchases are made through links in their articles. The Control mod has led to experimentation with DLSS 5 .dll files among gamers, resulting in varied visual outcomes. For example, integrating DLSS 5 into The Blood of Dawnwalker caused visual distortions in characters. The early access version of NBA 2K27 has prompted modders to create game-agnostic versions of DLSS 5, allowing integration into various titles. DLSS 5 can produce impressive visual effects when used correctly, but it significantly impacts performance, potentially reducing frame rates by 50-60%. For instance, using DLSS 5 on an RTX 5090 dropped frame rates from 110 fps to below 50 fps. In Football Manager 26, DLSS 5 improves environmental lighting, pitch details, and player profile pictures. The installation of DLSS 5 can be done through the ReShade HDR Installer from GitHub, simplifying the process. Players can customize DLSS 5 settings in-game using the RenoDX tab. However, there are concerns about how such modifications may affect the original artistic vision of the games.

New Hidden Android Auto Changes Discovered As Big Update Is Coming

Google is releasing a significant update to Android Auto, version 17.6, which includes a new green icon with rounded corners. The update is being rolled out gradually, but users can manually download it from the Google Play Store. New features include quick toggles for settings, with a Do Not Disturb (DND) toggle currently being tested. Additional enhancements will include widget support, allowing apps to display widgets on Android Auto, and support for video applications like YouTube, which will enable users to watch videos while stationary and use an audio-only mode while driving. A Premium subscription will be required for background audio playback on YouTube. The rollout of these features is expected later this year.

DLSS 5 can be jammed into almost any game now, so I’ve been playing FM26 with neural rendered little computer people because that’s just what I do

The integration of DLSS 5 .dll files into various games has produced mixed results, with some enhancements working well while others cause visual glitches. A review of The Blood of Dawnwalker revealed issues with the DLSS pipeline, resulting in an unexpected undead appearance for a character. A demonstration at Gamescom showed that DLSS 5 can significantly enhance visuals when used correctly, particularly with Model C at 60-70% intensity. However, Nvidia has noted that DLSS 5 can lead to a 50-60% reduction in frame rates, especially at 4K resolution. For example, on an RTX 5090, frame rates dropped from approximately 110 fps to below 50 fps with DLSS 5 activated. DLSS 5 can also run on lower-spec GPUs, although it was initially demonstrated with dual RTX 5090s. In Football Manager 26, DLSS 5 improved visuals without achieving photorealism, maintaining a steady 60 fps. The ReShade HDR Installer allows users to integrate DLSS tools into unsupported games, but results may vary and troubleshooting may be necessary. The official release of DLSS 5 will not include the fine-tuning sliders available through ReShade, which could complicate the preservation of developers' artistic intent. For best results, users should use the Upscaled or DLSS version of DLSS-NR rather than the 'Present' method, and may need to try different RenoDX DLSS 5 tools if issues arise.

Microsoft warns fake CAPTCHA is tricking Windows users into running malware

Microsoft has identified a new malware campaign called TerminalFix that uses fake CAPTCHA prompts to trick Windows users into executing malicious commands. This campaign is a variation of ClickFix attacks and employs deceptive pages that impersonate reputable services like Cloudflare. Instead of traditional CAPTCHA challenges, users are instructed to open PowerShell or Command Prompt and paste in commands, allowing attackers to execute complex scripts more easily. TerminalFix initiates a multi-stage intrusion, granting attackers persistent proxy access to the infected machine, which can lead to further exploitation of the company's network. The campaign relies on social engineering tactics, requiring user compliance with counterfeit verification instructions. Microsoft has released mitigation guidance, recommending restrictions on PowerShell access, monitoring for DLL sideloading, blocking outdated Flash plugins, and enabling cloud-delivered protection in Microsoft Defender Antivirus. The campaign poses significant risks to enterprise networks, but individual users should also be cautious about executing commands requested by websites.

Guild Wars 3 is a lot smaller scale than Guild Wars 2 because of the new approach to combat and movement: ‘You would probably see about 20 players in a large combat scenario’

Guild Wars 3 will enter beta next year and features a maximum player count of around 20 in large combat scenarios, aimed at providing a more focused and visceral gameplay experience. The game emphasizes meaningful collaboration among players and promises a seamless interaction experience with fewer loading screens. Cities and towns will have no player cap, creating bustling social hubs, while traditional server barriers will be removed for easier play with friends. Party sizes will be limited to four players, which may affect regular gaming groups.

RPCS3 Team Won’t Touch Leaked DLSS 5, Calls the Output “Slop”

The RPCS3 development team has stated they will not incorporate the recently leaked DLSS 5 technology into their PS3 emulator, despite some users testing it. They expressed a preference to distance themselves from DLSS 5, criticizing the use of upscalers and frame generation that they believe obscure optimization issues. The team previously integrated AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), leading to discussions about their stance on different upscaling technologies. The leaked DLL from an early build of NBA 2K27 has been used in various PC titles with mixed results, but RPCS3 remains committed to game preservation, asserting that DLSS 5 does not align with their mission.

Resident Evil 2’s director believes Capcom has become ‘completely numb to how scary’ recent games have been and wants a ‘non-horror mode’

Players of horror games, particularly those with extensive experience, are becoming desensitized to fear, as noted by one player who found the latest Resident Evil installment lacking in genuine scares. Hideki Kamiya, director of Resident Evil 2, believes Capcom has become oblivious to horror elements in recent titles and admits to his own inability to handle scary content. He humorously suggested a lighter version of the franchise with non-scary modes. This raises questions about accessibility in horror gaming, as many players find it difficult to introduce friends to the genre due to its intense fear factor. Kamiya expressed a desire for a non-horror mode, highlighting a disconnect between developers and their audience. The player hopes Capcom will maintain the horror essence of the franchise, longing for a return to the intense fear experienced in Resident Evil 7.
