Пираты слили на торренты Resident Evil Requiem

Hacker voices38 has successfully circumvented the Denuvo anti-piracy protection in Resident Evil Requiem, marking the first breach of a project secured with the current version of Denuvo without using hypervisor techniques. The method used is described as a native approach, which avoids the complications and risks associated with hypervisor solutions. This breakthrough claims to improve performance, mitigating frame rate drops that typically average 11 fps with previous methods. The version of Denuvo in Resident Evil Requiem has only minor modifications from the 2025 release. Resident Evil 9: Requiem debuted in February 2026, featuring Leon Kennedy and FBI agent Grace Ashcroft. Additionally, Android smartphones can run Resident Evil Requiem at 90 fps.

It Looks Like Steam Will Soon Use Frame Rate Data Gathered by Its Millions of Users to Estimate How Well a Gam

Valve is collecting frame rate data from its user base to predict game performance on individual systems. This initiative started with a SteamOS beta that gathers performance metrics. A code string in a recent Steam update suggests that Valve plans to use this data to estimate game performance based on users' CPU, GPU, and RAM specifications. Users will have the option to input their hardware details or receive projections based on their existing configuration. This feature aims to provide more comprehensive performance estimates compared to existing offerings from other digital game stores. The current data collection is limited to the beta client, but the rollout of this feature is expected to help gamers assess their hardware's capability to run new titles.

How to Play Division Resurgence on PC: Full Emulator Setup Guide

The Division Resurgence is a mobile-exclusive third-person shooter developed by Ubisoft, currently without an official PC client. Players can use three Android emulators—BlueStacks, MuMu Player, and LDPlayer—to play the game on larger monitors. Each emulator has distinct advantages: MuMu Player is recommended for PS controller users due to accurate button prompts, while LDPlayer is noted for better performance. For BlueStacks, players should download the Pie 64-bit version, adjust performance settings to maximize CPU and RAM, set graphics to Vulkan, and ensure the most recent phone profile is selected. For MuMu Player, users should set graphics to Vulkan, optimize performance settings, and select the ROG Phone 9 profile for better visuals. LDPlayer requires users to set CPU to 6 cores and RAM to at least 6 GB, with a resolution of 1280 × 720 and High FPS Mode enabled. In-game graphics settings for optimal performance include Very High graphics, High resolution, and a standard framerate capped at 30 FPS. The game supports both mouse and keyboard and gamepad controls, with options for customizing key bindings. Common issues include game freezes, crashes, low FPS, and incorrect controller prompts, with suggested fixes provided. Division Resurgence is free-to-play, and while not officially available on PC, it can be played through emulators without additional costs.

Scheduler function Windows breaks video recording on Radeon chips

Many users of graphics accelerators from a well-known company are experiencing technical issues, particularly when recording video content using OBS Studio. A YouTube channel creator analyzed this problem and identified hardware scheduling, a feature introduced by Microsoft in Windows, as the cause of frequent crashes and performance issues. This feature was meant to improve hardware performance by managing memory more efficiently for video cards, but it has led to conflicts when running demanding games and applications while capturing screens. The blogger recommends that Radeon graphics card owners disable hardware scheduling, as it only provides a minimal performance boost of about two percent in gaming, which does not outweigh the recording and streaming problems it causes.

I had high hopes for Nvidia’s DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Gen, but it’s not quite what I expected

Nvidia DLSS 4.5 has been released in beta, featuring advancements in frame generation technology, including the ability to generate up to five "fake frames" with a 6x frame generation option. The Dynamic Multi Frame Generation (MFG) allows users to benefit from multi-frame generation without it being constantly active. This feature is available exclusively for RTX 5000 series graphics cards. Testing with an RTX 5080 showed that activating 2x frame generation increased frame rates to an average of 105fps, while 4x frame generation raised it to approximately 180fps, albeit with increased input lag. The Dynamic Frame Generation mode maintained frame rates between 210fps and 250fps but resulted in a peak PC latency of 68ms. Lowering the target FPS to 120 stabilized frame rates around 120fps with 2x or 3x frame generation, improving responsiveness. Results may vary based on game settings, and exceeding 3x frame generation can lead to input lag. Dynamic MFG allows for easier configuration by automatically adjusting frame generation based on the target refresh rate.
