SOFTWARE/DRIVERS

NVIDIA GeForce 418.91 WHQL available for download, does not fix DLSS blurriness in Battlefield 5 & Metro Exodus
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/nvidia-geforce-418-91-whql-available-for-download-does-not-fix-dlss-blurriness-in-battlefield-5-metro-exodus/
NVIDIA has released a brand new driver for its graphics cards. According to the release notes, the NVIDIA GeForce 418.91 WHQL provides the optimal gaming experience when using DLSS and Ray Tracing in Battlefield V and Metro Exodus.
However, we can confirm that this driver does not resolve the blurry side-effects that PC gamers experience in both of the aforementioned titles when DLSS is enabled. As such, we strongly suggest avoiding DLSS until (and if) NVIDIA fixes the image downgrade-ation that is currently happening.
The NVIDIA GeForce 418.91 WHQL driver also fixes some lines appearing in the terrain with NVIDIA Control Panel Anisotropic filtering override enabled in Battlefield 5 and an event ID 14 error in event viewer logs when Digital Vibrance setting is changed on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20 series.
Unfortunately, this driver does not resolve the DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG error message that a lot of NVIDIA gamers have been receiving in APEX Legends (for now, we strongly suggest using the 417.71 driver if you are playing Respawn’s free to play battle royale title).

AMD Radeon Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.2.2 optimized for Metro Exodus, Far Cry New Dawn & Crackdown 3
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/amd-radeon-adrenalin-2019-edition-19-2-2-optimized-for-metro-exodus-far-cry-new-dawn-crackdown-3/
AMD has released a brand new driver for its graphics cards. According to the release notes, the AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.2.2 driver adds support for the Radeon VII and is optimized for Far Cry New Dawn, Metro Exodus and Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Gathering Storm.
Furthermore, this driver is also optimized for Crackdown 3 and improves performance by up to 5% on a Radeon RX 590 graphics card.
It’s also worth noting that this driver addresses some Radeon VII issues. For instance, it addresses a system hang when attempting to perform a timeout detection and recovery on Windows 7 system configurations, some line corruptions in APEX Legends, as well as some issues with the AMD WattMan.

MODS/EMULATORS

First nude mod released for Resident Evil 2 Remake
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/first-nude-mod-released-for-resident-evil-2-remake/
Well, it was bound to happen. The first nude mod for Resident Evil 2 Remake has just been released, allowing players to assume the role of a topless Claire Redfield. So yeah, we are not talking about a full nude mod but this is definitely something that some Resident Evil 2 fans will be interested in.
This topless mod basically replaces Claire’s Military outfit and all you have to do is download it and extract it to your RE2 directory. And that’s it.
(...)
Unfortunately for all the female gamers out there, there is no nude mod for Leon Kennedy at the moment. Now I don’t know if a modder will invest his/her time in order to release a nude mod for Leon as most gamers appear to be interested in female nude mods.
>> Look for this mod at Nexus Mods.
