“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.

Android’s Linux Terminal now lets you max out performance, but at a cost

Android's built-in Linux Terminal app is set to receive an upgrade with new options for adjusting image quality and performance, particularly beneficial for users in desktop mode. The latest Android 17 QPR1 beta 1 introduces a setting to adjust the Terminal's resolution, offering three choices: Full (prioritizes visual quality), Half (balances performance and visibility), and Quarter (maximizes performance at the cost of visual fidelity). Users can access these options through Settings > Advanced. The update also includes a full-screen button to hide navigation and status bars, and a redesigned toolbar in a pill-shaped floating bar at the bottom of the screen. Additionally, a feature to limit memory usage is being tested for future stable rollout in Android 17.
