Testing PC games using FEX on a high-end Android tablet can yield playable results — but the early tech is still not ready for prime time

FEX or FEX-Emu translates raw x86 instructions into ARM64 instructions, allowing Arm-based chips to run many full-fat games from the Steam Library. However, complex graphical pipelines in modern titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Clair Obscur can cause issues with rendering geometry correctly due to community-developed graphics drivers like Turnip. Qualcomm's mobile chips were not originally designed to support desktop-level Vulkan instructions, so widespread support for mainstream games may be limited. The FEX project is ongoing, but more maturation of applications and community-made drivers is needed before FEX can be considered a feature in mainstream products.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 translator claims they have been “replaced with AI”; Warhorse says they “deeply value the people who shape our work”

A former translator and localizer for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, known as Max H on Reddit, was let go by Warhorse Studios on March 27, as the studio decided to shift towards AI-driven solutions for translations, deeming Max's position "obsolete." Max had worked at the studio for nearly four years and expressed feelings of betrayal regarding the abrupt dismissal. They noted that management had begun integrating AI tools across various departments, including code development, and claimed AI was used without their approval to expedite translations, resulting in some content lacking thorough review. Max indicated they were the only employee affected by this shift, although they observed an increase in departures among colleagues. Warhorse Studios stated they are a talent-driven studio and value their employees but did not comment on individual situations.

Cult-Classic ’90s Horror Game Comes To Steam With Bizarre Title

Myst was a groundbreaking title that showcased the potential of CD-ROM technology, leading to increased interest in PC multimedia and the emergence of new development teams. Major Hollywood figures recognized the impact of gaming on commercial entertainment, although their focus on full-motion video sometimes missed the mark. A notable collaboration between Time Warner Interactive and poet William S. Burroughs resulted in the game The Dark Eye, originally launched in 1995, which blends point-and-click adventure with a unique narrative experience. Players explore a manor filled with family secrets and stop-motion interpretations of Edgar Allan Poe’s stories, enhanced by claymation puppets and Burroughs’ narration. The game is being re-released on Steam under the new title Edgar Allan Poe’s Interactive Horror: 1995 Edition due to trademark issues with the original name. The revival of The Dark Eye reflects a trend of nostalgic PC games becoming more accessible through official releases on platforms like Steam. Starting Sunday, gamers can acquire the rebranded title on Steam.

Google Translate’s latest upgrade surprised everyone by turning into a chatbot

Google Translate’s new AI-powered Advanced mode can engage in conversation rather than just translating text due to "prompt injection," which causes the model to struggle with distinguishing between translation requests and instructions. Users have found that this mode, based on a Gemini-based large language model, can respond to inquiries rather than providing straightforward translations. The older Classic mode remains a reliable option for consistent translations without unexpected interactions.
