You Can Now Play Driveclub at 1440p, 4K, 8K & 60FPS, Only on PC
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/you-can-now-play-driveclub-at-1440p-4k-8k-60fps-only-on-pc/
Modder ‘Kravickas’ has released a resolution patch for Driveclub, allowing PC gamers to enjoy it at 1440p, 4K, and even 8K resolutions. Not only that, but there is a 60FPS patch that you can use to unlock its framerate.
By using this resolution patch, PC gamers can finally get a great image quality in this PS4-exclusive racing game. It’s a shame Sony has turned its back on Driveclub. But man, the modding community has done everything PS5 fans have been dreaming of all these years.
You can go ahead and download the patch from here. To install it, you’ll have to follow this guide.

GTA 5 Enhanced Got Full Dismemberment Gore and an RDR-Style Dead Eye System
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/gta-5-enhanced-got-full-dismemberment-gore-and-an-rdr-style-dead-eye-system/
Modder ‘Teamhimes’ has released two cool new mods for Grand Theft Auto 5. The first mod adds a full dismemberment system to the game. The second mod introduces the Dead Eye system that we first saw in Red Dead Redemption.
Going into more detail, this new mod lets you blow off heads and limbs, with realistic gore covering the wounds. Every wound is fitted to the victim, and stump position is computed from the ped’s actual skeleton. Not only that, but you will be able to dismember people with the car, and you can slice limbs off with knives, machetes, and swords.
Now, while this is a really cool mod, it’s not perfect. My biggest gripe is that the head and limbs disappear the moment you blow them off. Also, seeing a rifle completely sever a leg feels too unrealistic. It’s fun, but there is definitely room for improvement.
As I said, there is also a mod that adds the Dead Eye system from Red Dead Redemption. By enabling it, time will slow to a crawl. Players will then be able to mark multiple targets and unleash them all in one deadly volley. What’s also cool here is that your character will actually turn, aim, and fire at every mark.
By combining these two mods, you can get a more gory experience. You can go ahead and download them from here and here. At the end of the article, you can also find a video. This video will give you a pretty good idea of what you can expect from them, so be sure to watch it.

Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced Update 1.0.6 Releases Tomorrow – Full Patch Notes
https://www.dsogaming.com/patches/assassins-creed-black-flag-resynced-update-1-0-6-releases-tomorrow-full-patch-notes/
Ubisoft announced that Title Update 1.0.6 for Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced will be released tomorrow and shared its full patch notes. So, let’s see what this new patch brings to the table.

Focus Entertainment Has Removed Denuvo From Atomic Heart
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/focus-entertainment-has-removed-denuvo-from-atomic-heart/
Now here is a pleasant surprise. Focus Entertainment has just released a new patch for the PC version of Atomic Heart that removes the Denuvo anti-tamper tech.
It’s worth noting that voices38 cracked Atomic Heart in July 2026. And, since the game was released in February 2023, I was not expecting Focus Entertainment to remove Denuvo from it. However, the publisher has surprised me, so kudos to it.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora’s Denuvo Has Been Cracked
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/avatar-frontiers-of-pandoras-denuvo-has-been-cracked/
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is the latest victim of voices38, who has managed to crack its Denuvo anti-tamper protection. The game was released on PC in December 2023. From what I know, it was never cracked by EMPRESS. Thus, it took two and a half years to crack.

Crimson Desert’s Denuvo Protection Has Been Cracked
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/crimson-deserts-denuvo-protection-has-been-cracked/
Voices38 has been on fire. In just one day, he released not one, but two Denuvo cracks. The first Denuvo crack was for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. The second, as the title implies, is for Crimson Desert.
