Gears of War 3 can now be fully completed on PC

The unofficial PC adaptation of Gears of War 3 has received a significant update that resolves critical issues, allowing players to complete the story campaign without interruptions. Initially launched in July 2026, the port faced challenges that made it nearly unplayable due to software bugs and softlocks. The Gears 3 Multipatch Tool, created by modder DryreL, has addressed these problems, providing reliable save functionality and reducing the risk of save file corruption. Key improvements include an expanded resource pool size from 145 MB to 8 GB, enhanced transitions between object detail levels, and forced 16x anisotropic filtering for better visuals. The tool also allows customization of mouse settings, removes the frame rate limit, enabling up to 300 FPS, and is compatible with the HD Texture Pack. Players must first acquire Gears of War 3 Jacinto V1.1.1 and then install the Multipatch Tool to access these enhancements.

I am cavorting with a gazelle’s grace in Grand Theft Auto 5

A modder is experimenting with Grand Theft Auto 5, aiming to enhance it towards a PC version of GTA 6 or to deconstruct it. One notable creation is the Back Flip Mod, which allows characters to perform backflips using the page down key. While successful flips lead to amusing self-satisfaction, there is a risk of failure, resulting in a ragdoll effect when characters attempt the maneuver. This unpredictability adds humor to the modding experience and keeps the community engaged.

Nvidia GTX Pascal-era GPUs are now running on Windows XP thanks to modders

Modder SupraGSX has created an unofficial Nvidia driver called ForceWare 382.69 for Windows XP, enabling compatibility with Nvidia's Pascal graphics cards, including the Titan Xp. This driver is based on Nvidia's GeForce 368.69 driver and is designed for 32-bit versions of Windows XP, allowing the use of modern graphics cards like the GTX 1080 Ti and Titan X. It also supports contemporary display standards such as DisplayPort 1.4 HBR3 and HDMI 2.0, with successful tests reported on high-refresh-rate monitors. The driver supports Direct3D 9 and OpenGL, but users have reported inconsistent performance and issues with certain functionalities. ForceWare 382.69 is available on GitHub, but installing unofficial drivers carries risks, especially for valuable hardware. Windows XP is not suitable for modern internet use and lacks support for contemporary software.

TITAN Xp Finally Runs on Windows XP Thanks to a Modded NVIDIA Driver

A modder named SupraGSX released an unofficial Windows XP driver on GitHub called Forceware 382.69, designed to support NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 10-series graphics cards, including the TITAN Xp. This driver is a patched version of NVIDIA's older 368.81 driver from July 2016, specifically for 32-bit Windows XP systems. It supports various graphics cards, including GTX 1060, GTX 1070, GTX 1070 Ti, GTX 1080, GTX 1080 Ti, TITAN X (Pascal), TITAN Xp, and some GTX 900-series and Quadro cards. The driver introduces support for DisplayPort 1.4 HBR3 and HDMI 2.0, although not all models were individually validated. The latest build, released on October 4, fixes OpenGL crashes on Pascal cards, verified on the GTX 1080 Ti, while support for GP107 cards, like the GTX 1050 Ti, remains experimental. Users are advised to be cautious when installing unverified drivers on their primary machines.

User feedback has been positive, particularly for ultrawide screens at high refresh rates. The project offers an installer package for download, and modders can access build instructions for modifications. There are inquiries about Windows XP 64-bit support, but a previous fork has been removed, with binaries still available on Mega. Users are advised to proceed with caution due to the unofficial nature of the drivers.

One of the most popular Total War: Warhammer 3 mods was ‘deliberately corrupted’ by its creator to sabotage AI-made copies

The Lords of the End Times expansion for Total War: Warhammer 3 has made the SFO Grimhammer 3 mod incompatible with the latest game version, prompting the creators to work on a fix. Some individuals have been reworking the original mod using AI coding and reuploading it, leading to frustration within the modding community. The creator of SFO Grimhammer 3 has corrupted the mod to prevent unauthorized uploads and has threatened to make it private if the situation escalates. They have stated their opposition to the appropriation of their work for AI purposes and emphasized that their mods will remain free. A functional version of SFO: Grimhammer III for game version 8.1.1 has been restored on Steam in response to community feedback. The creator hopes to raise awareness about the issues caused by AI-generated modifications and advocates for AI to be a supportive tool rather than a replacement for individual creativity in modding.

This Nvidia GeForce Now mod lets you play PC games on your Nintendo 3DS

An open-source, unofficial Nvidia GeForce Now client named Kasumi has been developed for jailbroken Nintendo 3DS consoles, allowing users to stream PC games directly on devices like the Nintendo 3DS, 3DS XL, and 2DS XL. Kasumi enables customization of control schemes and connection settings and supports a library of games from platforms such as Steam, Epic Games, and Ubisoft Connect. It utilizes Nvidia's servers for game rendering while the 3DS handles video and audio decoding and controller input. The application is designed to work within the limitations of the 3DS, capping frame rates at 30fps and bitrates at approximately 1Mbps. Server latency ranges from 60ms to 80ms, and a buffer is included to enhance gameplay experience. Kasumi allows for user-friendly control mapping and is compatible with the free version of GeForce Now, which includes a waiting queue and session limits. The project is still in active development, meaning users may experience some inconsistencies.
