SOFTWARE & DRIVERS

Valve has put a stop to the Steam release date exploit (updated)
https://www.pcgamer.com/valve-appears-to-have-put-a-stop-to-the-steam-release-date-exploit/
In an attempt to get a coveted spot in Steam's Popular Upcoming Releases list, some developers have allegedly gamed the system, changing the release date in the backend, even if the store page shows a different date. This way, games can appear in the list much earlier than they should, pushing other games down. Valve employees confirmed the issue in March, and it looks like the solution is now in place. Update: Valve has confirmed that it now requires developers to get in touch before any release date changes can happen on Steam. Developers can still hit the release button whenever they want once the game build has been approved by Valve, but to put a different release date on their store page they'll need to get permission first.
>> That's good, but now they should focus on the zero-day exploit that has recently been found.

MODS/EMULATORS

bsnes SNES emulator now supports overlocking, aiming to remove all slowdowns in all SNES games
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/bsnes-snes-emulator-now-supports-overlocking-aiming-to-remove-all-slowdowns-in-all-snes-games/
The creator of one of the best SNES emulators, bsnes, has announced the introduction of overclocking capabilities. Thanks to this new feature, PC gamers will finally be able to enjoy numerous SNES games without their annoying slowdown issues.
Going into more details, bsnes features a new way of overclocking that comes from the NES emulation scene. The SNES emulator inserts additional scanlines into the CPU thread, without running the video and audio during this time. Thanks to this method, gamers can overclock and remove the slowdown in just about any SNES game. The good news here is that this does not bring any framerate or pitch distortion. Not only that, but this method does not break compatibility in 99% of games.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering, you can also overclock the SA-1 and SuperFX chips in this way.
>> You can download this version of the emulator from github.

Modders ‘MBK’ and ‘Sryml’ have released a must-have texture pack for the classic action adventure game, Severance: Blade of Darkness. This texture pack uses Topaz Gigapixel AI, and improves the quality of all of the game’s textures. According to the modders, the textures in this pack are 4 times higher, sharper and with more defined details. This pack can be used with the vanilla game, as well as with other mods. Furthermore, the pack will be included in the next versions of the “Hyperborean mod”.
Do note that the map loads will take longer than before after installing this map. In addition, at least 4GB of RAM is required, though the modders suggest using more than 6GB. As said, this HD Texture Pack is 7GB in size and comes in five parts. You can download the pack from here. Make sure to only download the parts for “MBK mmp HD 2019” and NOT for “MBK mmp 24bits HD”. (...) Last but not least, we also suggest using the Blade of Light mod for Severance: Blade of Darkness. Blade of Light is an ENBSeries mod that comes with HDR color correction, SSAO, SSIL, BLOOM, DOF, FLARES, and other custom pixel shaders.
