NVIDIA’s next driver will significantly improve performance in Monster Hunter World
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/nvidias-next-driver-will-significantly-improve-performance-in-monster-hunter-world/
NVIDIA has confirmed that its next official driver will significantly improve performance in Monster Hunter World. Not only that, but PC gamers can use a workaround – via the NVIDIA Inspector Tool – in order to improve performance in both the latest and the previous driver.
According to reports, some keys that have been used in the Monster Hunter World profile bring performance degradation and additional stuttering. By simply removing them, PC gamers can improve performance by up to 20% without any visual glitches or issues. Not only that, but this workaround lowers overall stuttering in heavily crowded scenes.

>>I think it's the first time I post an article about an upcoming driver. In any case, you'll find the keys to remove in the article.

ZONE OF THE ENDERS THE 2nd RUNNER : MARS mod replaces English voices with Japanese voices
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/zone-of-the-enders-the-2nd-runner-mars-mod-replaces-english-voices-with-japanese-voices/
ZONE OF THE ENDERS: THE 2nd RUNNER MARS has been released on the PC, however it only comes with English voices. Which is a shame as this game – and some other Japanese games – are more enjoyable (at least in my opinion) with their original Japanese voices. As such, I’m happy to report that modder Mecha Suplex has released a mod for ZONE OF THE ENDERS THE 2nd RUNNER : MARS that replaces its English voices with the Japanese voices. And yes the game now feels better than its original PC version as the Japanese voices are better.

>>You can get the mod from Nexus Mods or download it directly from here.

One Piece World Seeker has been officially delayed until 2019
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/one-piece-world-seeker-has-been-officially-delayed-until-2019/

EA refuses to back down on loot box ban in Belgium
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/ea-refuses-to-back-down-on-loot-box-ban-in-belgium/
Over the last couple of months, several big gaming publishers, namely Valve, Blizzard and 2K Games, have all given up a substantial amount of income in online transactions from both Belgian and Dutch players. This comes as a result of a loot box ban issued by the Kansspelcommissie (gaming commission) that decrees all forms of online gambling must be removed from video games.
From the outset of the commission’s ruling, they have been very clear on the severity of the punishment if major publishers did not comply with the mandate. The punishment could include both a severe fine, and actual time behind bars for members of the company. According to NAG online who received correspondence with the commission, the fine could be as much as 10% of the company’s total gross annual profit.
Well, according to nieuwsblad.be, EA seems to risk this punishment as they have refused to remove certain loot box options and virtual surprise boxes in both FIFA 18 and FIFA 19. This refusal seems to come directly from CEO Andrew Wilson who states that the aforementioned loot box options do not constitute gambling. He argues that players know exactly how much loot they are getting, before comparing it to the Panini football stickers that some enthusiasts collect and trade.
