AMD has released a brand new driver for its graphics cards. According to the release notes, the AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.4.1 driver fixes various issues such as an intermittent crash or application hang when MSAA is enabled in World of Warcraft patch 8.1.5 or later.
Furthermore, this driver resolves an intermittent graphical corruption when game settings are set to minimum on Radeon RX Vega series graphics products in World of Tanks, an issue that could prevent Radeon WattMan’s auto overclock to raise engine clocks past default levels on Radeon RX Vega series graphics products, as well as an issue that could make the mouse cursors to disappear or move out of the boundary of the top of a display on AMD Ryzen Mobile Processors with Radeon Vega Graphics.

MODS/EMULATORS

Doom Eternal XP brings flamethrowers and swords to Doom 2
https://www.pcgamer.com/doom-eternal-xp-brings-flamethrowers-and-swords-to-doom-2/
It's going to be a while until we get to murder demons in new and gruesome ways in Doom Eternal, but we can still play with a lot of the new toys thanks to some hard-working Doom 2 modders. Doom Eternal XP collects and modifies a bunch of these weapons and mechanics in one handy mod, and it's got a lot of additional features, too.
The mod's creator, Officer_D, initially made an experience-giving mod, but when Doom Eternal was revealed last year, they started to hunt down assets and resources that the community had already designed and put them together. Doom XP was quickly renamed Doom Eternal XP, and since then it's enjoyed regular updates and bug fixes.
New melee weapons like the nasty wrist-mounted Doom Blade and demonic Crucible have been added, so you can slice and dice your way through legions of demons and save your bullets. Or you can just torch the lot of them with your shoulder-mounted flamethrower, which looks amazing
