Finally! The old PC version was so shoddy!

I don't know why they bother with this, way too late for this.

But who knows, maybe they are testing waters to see if less action and more frights can still sell and return to the franchise some of its former glory.



Please excuse my bad English.

Russia went World of Tanks mad on Sunday, with over a million concurrent players on the Russian cluster

Comment

World of Tanks has more than a few fans worldwide, but it's in Russia where the online tank-on-tank extravaganza has its most ardent fans. Last year WoT set a new record for most concurrent players in one server, a Russian one of course, with over 190,000 players in Russia fighting each other.

Back then Wargaming boasted a peak concurrent user figure of over 800,00 in Russia alone, but as of January 19th, it's smashed that figure into the ground, presumably with a tank shell.

War Thunder Ground Forces expansion swells its tank ranks, hasn't even left closed beta yet

Comment

The upside of War Thunder’s long-awaited Ground Forces expansion is practically vertical. Why not couple seamless ground combat to what’s already the most compelling sky-fighting sim around (sorry, World of Warplanes, sorry sorry sorry)?

Well, here’s why not. Because every significant update from now on will be filled with incomprehensible-named tracked vehicles, which I’ll have to try and type. Today, it’s my duty to announce that the second wave of Ground Forces’ closed beta merits a slews of new tanks, including the JaguarPanther IV-B, the T-3PO 1942, and the PzKpfwsxz]]/// Ausf.H.

Insurgency is a former Half-Life mod and tactical FPS set for Steam release tomorrow

Comments1

DICE and EA spend millions ensuring Battlefield is associated with the right semantic keywords. Rush, bang, dakka, grey, orange - all reinforced by the posters and trailers the publishers put together for the release of a new iteration. 

But Insurgency manages the same without a single dollar wasted. Buried within its name alone are the words ‘surge’, ‘urgency’, and (next) ‘gen’. And after nine months of Steam Early Access, it looks equally worthy of our time.

Rust security patch expunges death and fall damage exploits

Comment

Once the zombies are gone, Rust will be a vehicle for tales of human exploitation and deceit, impure and simple. It’s a fine line between that and the technical exploits that threaten to upend the game - but Facepunch have found that if they squint a bit, they can just about pluck out the problems. Yesterday, a Post Dev Days Security patch saw an end to a common fall damage and suicide exploit.

o.O.

Is it a known issue or just a rare occurrence?

Anyways, speaking of Resident Evil...I hope they patch Resident Evil 5 off of GFWL :(.


Same, I really hope they do!
I liked looking at Chris's big arms. :P

As for CrystalChild's issue, if you are using an AMD card, throw the Beta drivers onto your system or roll back to the last WHQL drivers and of course reinstall DX9/.Net framework/Do a CCleaner run.
Civilization has been completely bug free, although personally I prefer to play Alpha Centauri, just wish Firaxis would do a sequel...

So its a AMD issue dayum D;

I didnt know this n_n.

I don't think it's an AMD issue, I havent had a problem with it. :) (Running Quad R9 290's under water.)

Another cause could be if you have an FX CPU. (Another reason to avoid them.)
The Bulldozer based FX chips have an issue regarding the handling of interrupts which can cause issues with some software/games.

However the workaround to that is to update the Microcode/BIOS for your motherboard, most boards have an update that fixes it.

Bitcoin/Litecoin miners helped propel those AMD financials.
The Radeon 7950/7970/280/280X 290/290X have all been selling like hotcakes.

Interesting to see how AMD stacks up when those markets falter and people aren't buying so many high-end cards.
