  1. Are you experiencing videos lagging when you play games? More specifically if you play games in full screen mode and trying to watch a YouTube video or Twitch stream but the video keeps buffering, lagging or even just flat out stop playing. Well, fear not, this simple trick might help you. Disable GPU scheduling by: Right click on desktop -> Display Settings -> Graphics -> Change default graphics settings. On Windows 11 you might have to: Right click on desktop -> Display Settings -> Gaming -> Game Mode -> Graphics > Change default graphics settings. You can also enable thew 'Optimization for windowed games' if you prefer to play in borderless window.
  2. "The Godfather" director Francis Ford Coppola pours in a billion kroner (!) in the film that will become his magnum opus. His "Godfather" trilogy changed the world of cinema, and he's not done yet. Francis Ford Coppola, 83 years old, is planning perhaps his most ambitious project to date when it is finally time to film "Megalopolis" - a giant project he has carried on for over 30 years. In order to realize the grand story, he will film on the state-of-the-art The Prysm Stage in Atlanta, Indiewire writes. Coppola plans to combine classic filmmaking with cutting-edge new technology — "one foot in the past and the other in the future," according to a press release. Among other things, the newly built studio allows the filmmaker to borrow a giant LED screen, not unlike what Disney used for its television series such as the Star Wars venture "The Mandalorian" to put actors in artificial environments. So-called Volume screens are increasingly used in cinema as well. However, reports of "never-before-seen technology" suggest that those aren't the only technological advances that Coppola will be using in his filming process - we haven't heard any further details yet. But it will be expensive. Coppola is said to be investing $120 million of his own money on the project. And he doesn't care if the film is a financial success, as long as the film turns out the way he wants. - I couldn't care less about the financial side. It means nothing to me, he has said in an interview. Adam Driver and Shia LaBeouf lead a star-studded ensemble that also features Forest Whitaker, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jon Voight and Laurence Fishburne. The film is said to take place in an alternate version of New York, where ancient Rome and its fate affects the modern world. In the center stands an architect who wants to rebuild the metropolis of New Rome after a disaster.
  3. "Gotham Knights", "Overwatch 2" and "Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope" are just some of the exciting titles coming this October. The article contains sponsored links. When you shop through them, MovieZine may receive a commission. The gaming season begins in earnest in October with multiplayer titles such as "Overwatch 2" and "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II" or story-driven adventures such as "A Plague Tale: Requiem" and "New Tales From The Borderlands". We at MovieZine have put together a list of the most interesting titles. Here are the seven hottest games you can get in October 2022. Overwatch 2 After six successful years with the team-based first-person shooter "Overwatch" and heroes such as Tracer, D.Va and Brigitte, it's time for the sequel, "Overwatch 2" , which unlike its predecessor will be free to play. Among other things, the game boils down the teams from six to five players, removes the controversial loot boxes in favor of a paid Battle Pass with different levels to unlock and some new characters - like Sojourn, Junkie Queen and Kiriko. The game will also feature a story-driven mission mode where you get to choose from a selection of heroes based on events in Overwatch history, as well as missions where you fight hordes of enemies alongside your friends. Date: 4 october A Plague Tale: Requiem Following the events of the first game from 2019, "A Plague Tale: Requiem" continues the story of siblings Amicia and Hugo de Rune in their search for a cure for their little brother's illness in the south of France, while escaping from the soldiers of the Inquisition and hordes of plague-infected rats. As before, it revolves a lot around stealth, where Amicia can use knives to slash her enemies, throw rocks with a sling, and shoot with a crossbow. Coupled with Hugo's ability to sense the location of enemies through walls and control rats, it sounds incredibly exciting. However, the rats are not always your friends, as you have to stay away from the dark to avoid being eaten by the little rodents. However, you can use them to solve puzzles and kill enemies. This sounds like an interesting adventure that is both emotional and purely game-mechanically interesting. Date: 18 october Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope When Ubisoft created the crazy and slightly annoying rabbits in the game "Rayman Raving Rabbids", which became a huge phenomenon (reminiscent a lot of Minions), not many people expected that they would team up with none other than Super Mario in a really good game in the form of "Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle". Now comes the sequel "Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope" , where the jumping plumber and his friends once again join forces with a group of rabbids in tactical battles. This time, a creature called Cursa has spread dark matter across the world in search of so-called Sparks, which have created chaos in the galaxy. This time you also get help from the villain Bowser. The game mechanics are also slightly reworked with less linear courses and more free-form combat, where you can run around and do more things in real time. As a big fan of the first really charming adventure, this could be really good. Date: 20 october New Tales From The Borderlands "New Tales from the Borderlands" builds on the concept of its predecessor, where we saw a more story-driven interpretation of the "Borderlands" universe. This time it is Gearbox themselves who are responsible for the development, not Telltale Games. The game takes place three years after the events of "Borderlands 3", when the weapons manufacturer Tediore has invaded the planet Promethea. Here you get to play as the scientist Anu, her street smart brother Anu and the yoghurt shop owner Fran - all three of whom have to deal with the invaders, monsters and criminals in different ways. As before, it's a lot about exploring your surroundings, making decisions that affect the plot and surviving cinematic sequences. If it's as good and funny as its predecessor, we have something to look forward to. Date: 21 october Gotham Knights In Gotham Knights , young superheroes Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood and Robin keep the streets safe after Batman's death in an action role-playing game set in an open Gotham City where you can play as the four. Here we can expect to fight against classic villains such as The Penguin, Harley Quinn, Mr. Freeze and Clayface, either alone or with other players. They also come into contact with the Court of Owls, a secret society as old as the city. The game is made by Warner Bros Montreal who previously made "Batman: Arkham Origins", so we can expect similar game mechanics. Date: 21 october Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II In "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II", we revisit the operators of Task Force 151 after the US military kills a general in another country, which leads them to seek revenge in a big way. It's up to the group to stop them, in a mission that takes place across the globe. Developed by Infinity Ward, the game is a sequel to its 2019 predecessor (not to be confused with the two previous "Modern Warfare" games from the 10s). Like previous parts, it looks like it can deliver a real action-packed blockbuster adventure with a lot of shooting and cool game sequences. For those who like multiplayer, there are of course also a number of different multiplayer modes. Date: 28 october Bayonetta 3 Six years after its predecessor was released on Wii U, the curmudgeon and cocky witch is back in "Bayonetta 3" , where we once again see series creator Hideki Kamiya as executive director. Along with both old and new friends (such as alternate versions of herself), Bayonetta must confront and defeat the mysterious creatures Homonculi, to prevent multiple worlds from being destroyed by an evil entity. For those who think there is too much nudity during cutscenes and battles, there is a so-called "Naive Angel Mode", which makes Bayonetta wear more clothes, as well as toning down the more graphic designs on enemies and demons. Date: 28 october
  4. Are you afraid of missing out items, gear, cosmetics etc. from season passes if you don't play enough? This poll is mostly directed towards the upcoming Overwatch 2 release but feel free to vote and comment your thoughts. Overwatch 2 will have no loot-boxes, instead they will have a season pass that last a few months until the next season. What if you don't unlock everything in season 1 or if you only have the free pass since you feel like (or can't afford) the premium pass, do you feel left out knowing that that skin you wanted in season 1 is now out of reach? What are your thoughts and how do you feel a season pass should be and/or work best?
  5. According to a new blog post on the Overwatch website, new players in Overwatch 2 will have to play 100 matches to unlock all the characters from the original Overwatch game . The idea is to keep new players from feeling overwhelmed and give them the chance to learn all the modes and characters at their own pace. But it also says this. This means that these restrictions only exist when it comes to competitive games and not if you run practice matches with family and friends. Overwatch 2 will be released in Early Access on October 4th and will be completely free to play. Blizzard has promised that the game will have no loot boxes and will have a seasonal format. Season 1 starts on the 4th followed by season 2 starting later in December. There will also be a PVE mode released at a later date, but no date has been set there yet.
  6. Well, just when we thought it was finally time, it wasn't time at all. Ubisoft's project Skull and Bones was supposed to be released on November 8, i.e. in just over a month, but now they have announced that this will not be the case. The game is instead postponed until March 9 next year. On Twitter, they write that the game is actually already finished, but that they received some feedback from technical tests and their insider program, which convinced them that the game needs to be polished and balanced to deliver the best possible experience. More tests will be arranged in the insider program (which you can sign up for here), and they also promise that an open beta test will be organized in the near future. Skull and Bones is a multiplayer game where the focus is on ship battles and to some extent exploration. However, we will not be able to go ashore wherever we want, but only at certain places.
  7. Cyberpunk 2077 has been getting quite a boost since the release of the Edgerunners series, the game received an update and we learned more about the planned Phantom Liberty expansion. And now they can add another proper milestone, namely that the game has sold over 20 million copies. On Twitter, Cd Projekt Red writes that 20 million cyberpunks are now roaming the streets of Night City, which can be compared to the 18 million they reported in April. The milestone also means that the game has sold about half as much as The Witcher 3, which managed to sell over 40 million copies. The Witcher 3, on the other hand, was boosted by two fantastic expansions, while Cyberpunk 2077 only looks to get one.
  8. There have been quite a few world updates to Microsoft Flight Simulator . Right from day one, we could fly all over the world. However, the team is working hard to spruce it up – and now the turn has come to Canada. It is revealed via the official news page from Xbox. Canada is filled with a plethora of sights to explore from the air: magnificent urban architecture, wave-battered northern coastlines, and vast sweeps of tundra, glaciers and towering peaks. That sounds like quite a flight. Some bragging numbers: 87 handcrafted locations, 5 equally handcrafted airports, 9 "exciting" missions. In the latter, we will, among other things, go out into the bush, discover and succeed in landing in, for example, Calgary. Well then! High time to rediscover Canada from above.
  9. Make your voice heard in the forums and take part of the discussion!
  10. Right, let's get this going. What is your go to MMO game? A MMO that you find yourself always coming back to, a MMO you have fond memories of or maybe a MMO that you have lost faith with butt still think it was the best of the best. Leave a comment below, why is your vote your go to MMO or is it another game than in the poll. Or, do you have more than one? Also comment 😃
  11. Whatsapp has now released a security update to fix two critical security flaws in the messaging service's IOS and Android apps. According to cybersecurity firm Malwarebytes, the vulnerabilities could be used to take control of the app. The flaws are to be found in Whatsapp and Whatsapp Business for Android and IOS that do not run version 2.22.16.12 or later. The Hacker News writes that one of the vulnerabilities (CVE-2022-36934), which has a CVSS rating of 9.8 out of 10, could be used to execute arbitrary code by simply opening a video call. The second vulnerability (CVE-2022-27492), with a CVSS score of 7.8, could be activated by the victim receiving a specially crafted video file.
  12. Unlike its predecessor, Overwatch 2 will be free-to-play, which of course increases the risk of cheating and people creating accounts on the fly to be able to act like fools. However, Activision is ready with a set of solutions that they call the Defense Matrix , and part of this is connected to whether the fans have mobiles or not. In order to play the game, you have to connect a mobile phone number to your Battle.net account, and this applies regardless of the platform you play on and even if you own the first game. This is not only to be able to get the account back in case of something unexpected either, but also to make it harder for people who get banned to come back, since a specific mobile phone number can only be used for one account. Banned persons must therefore prepare another number if they want to be able to create a new account. Blizzard also writes that certain types of numbers will not be able to be used, including debit card numbers and VOIP numbers. This latter requirement has upset some, as it appears that many will not be able to play the game. However, it does not seem to be completely clear whether this really applies to all prepaid card numbers or only with certain operators. Overwatch 2 is released on October 4th.
  13. A few days ago , EA and Koei Tecmo confirmed plans to show the first trailer for Wild Hearts today. Said and done. Now "a new kind of hunter game" has been revealed and there is no doubt that it will have tons of things in common with Monster Hunter. February 17 will be a release for Playstation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. It takes place in a kind of fantasy feudal Japan where you hunt Kemono beasts. The journey goes through a colorful world where you can either go hunting on your own or with two co-op friends by your side. Crafting will be an important part of the adventure, here in the form of the "Karakuri" mechanism. That's what Yosuke Hayashi, Tecmo Games' vice president, tells us. The game will be, like for example It Takes Two and Unravel , an EA Originals game. EA's Stuart Land is visibly excited:
  14. So, this is nothing new by now, that cheaters are a problem in Dead by Daylight. What is sad though is that it's nothing new that Behaviour ignores the problem effectively ruining the game for its player base, streamers and content creators. In fact the problem is so bad right now that big name streamers are coming out of their silence and recognizing the problem. Streamers like Otzdarva and Spookyloopz, who by the way are in the Fog Whisperer program are now opening up. In the video below (spoiler) you will see Dowsey speaking about the problem and reacting to the mentioned streamers and, he says something that I truly also believe is a step in the right direction... "Get out of the Fog Whisperer program". I believe this is something they need to do to show to BHVR that their behavior (no pun intended) is not accepted! It's no secret that BHVR are extremely bad at communicating with their community, it's no secret that BHVR lies about what they are doing to prevent cheaters etc., it's no secret that BHVR don't hold back on punishing anyone criticizing the company and the game. The problem is so bad now that cheaters can openly use cheats because if they get banned they can have another account up and running in minutes. Cheaters hold players hostage in the game by making it so that you cannot end the game, the only way to do it is by disconnecting and getting a DC strike. There are ways to force you to join any players game, effectively meaning that cheaters can through the cheat software force them selves into all of your games. IP leaks, speed hacks, instant generator completion etc. etc. It goes on and on. BHVR is not a good company, the developers are not good people, and big name content creators Should Not support them. Play the game for all you want, it is your job, but, get out of any supportive groups/programs being sponsored by BHVR! To quote Dowsey, "Put your money where your mouths are!" What are your experiences of cheaters in DbD? And what are your thoughts about BHVR?
  15. Long before "Avengers" he made one of the film's first portraits of the infamous serial killer. The currently streaming miniseries "Dahmer - Monster: The Story of Jeffrey Dahmer" has made the whole world re-discover and horrify one of America's worst serial killers. Eva Peters is well deserved for his role, but he was not the first to take on the complex and unpleasant character. Already in 2002 came the first feature film about Jeff Dahmer. Then you could see a relatively unknown 30-year-old Jeremy Renner, who until then has had mostly guest roles in television series. The daring lead in David Jacobson's "Dahmer" became something of a breakthrough that made critics and the film industry aware of Renner, and has led him to greater roles - in both Oscar-nominated films and successful blockbusters. The trailer for "Dahmer" shows us several nasty scenes that are recognized by Netflix's own drama series - including how Jeff drugs his victims and how a young boy tries to escape from his apartment. The film received good reviews and has 73% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. The audience was a little less positive as the average rating at IMDb is 5.6. Unfortunately.
  16. July 1st this year, the Polish company CD Project Red celebrated 20 years as a company. A few days ago, the company released an 18-minute video on the history behind everything. In the video, Adam Badoski, Piotr Nielubowicz and Marcin Ivinski talk about the company's journey from the first Witcher to today. There is also a website dedicated to the celebration where you can read about the games and the company's history. They also encourage readers to share screenshots, selfies and more to participate in the celebration. I am looking forward to another (at least) 20 years of CDPR games. And I personally want to thank the developers behind Cyberpunk 2077 for their dedication to the game, making it what it deserves to be. It's my all time favorite game! What are your best memories from CDPR games?
  17. It has been called one of the biggest leaks ever in the gaming world. Now a 17-year-old boy from London has been arrested. A police source tells The Desk that the boy was arrested on suspicion of being involved in the server breach of Rockstar Games and Take Two Interactive, the companies behind "Grand Theft Auto", The Desk reports. On September 18, 90 clips of what were said to be gameplay sequences from the upcoming "Grand Theft Auto" game were posted online. "Hey, here are 90 clips from GTA 6," the user wrote. A few days later, Rockstar Games, the game developer behind "Grand Theft Auto", confirmed that the company was recently the victim of a cyber breach that resulted in files being stolen. "It included early working material for the next Grand Theft Auto," Rockstar Games announced on Twitter. The game developer does not believe that the leak will affect or interfere with the further development of the game. "We are extremely disappointed that details about our next game were leaked to you in this way," Rockstar Games wrote. The 17-year-old is also accused of stealing files from Uber, according to the source. The last GTA game, "Grand Theft Auto 5" from 2013, sold 170 million copies.
  18. A Plague Tale: Innocence was a pretty big adventure that took most players 10-12 hours to run through, but the sequel seems to be a completely different beast. A Plague Tale: Requiem not only looks absolutely state-of-the-art and appears to have much deeper gameplay - it's also 50% longer. This is revealed by Lead level designer Kevin Pinson from Asobo Studio in an interview with Play Magazine (issue 19), where he tells us that the title will take 15-18 hours to play through. And he adds that it's also no filler content to artificially extend the adventure: A Plague Tale: Requiem launches on October 18 for PC, Playstation 5 and Xbox Series S/X. It also comes in a streamed Switch version, and is also included with Game Pass from day one.
  19. There will be no Splinter Cell in VR, but the remake of the first game is still happening. They have already said that the remake will be built from the ground up, and now it also seems that the plot will be updated. In a job ad where Ubisoft is looking for a screenwriter, they write that they are compiling a team with passion and respect for the "three-focal glasses" and that this is a chance to be part of a popular series while delivering the next generation of graphics and modernized sneak mechanics. But they also write: Thus, we can probably expect to learn more about Sam Fischer, Anna Grimsdóttír and the other characters, although the basic act may remain as untouched as possible. In other words, at least the undersigned hopes to expand what already exists instead of writing about it.
  20. Saints Row was released exactly a month ago and … probably didn't impress very many. The ratings have been relatively low - enough to cause the Embracer share to decline - and sales do not seem to have been very good either. During Embrace's annual meeting, CEO Lars Wingefors had the following to say: "Personally, I had hoped for a better reception for the game. It has been very polarizing. There are many details to address about it - on the one hand I am happy to see so many players and fans happy, but on the other hand I am sorry to see fans who are not happy, so it is difficult. I think we need to wait for the quarterly report in November to get more details on this. We are still quite early in our release window and are still collecting data, and so we have bug fixes and more content on the way. - Lars Wingefors He also says he is sure that the game will actually go with a profit, but that it will probably not be as big a profit as with "many other games". Regarding how this will affect Saints Row as a series, he said that hundreds of people are involved in the game and that he trusts that they can make recommendations for the future. At least I very much liked it, memories from the classic series came back and made me giggle several times.
  21. Just as expected, it is a machine that does not rely on its own horsepower to run the games, but instead invests in streaming games through the cloud. Basically, it's a tablet with Android as the base, with integrated support for the streaming services Geforce Now and Xbox Game Cloud. We can probably assume that other services, such as Stadia and Amazon Luna, will also work great - as long as there is an Android app, most things should be possible. The leaked specifications also proved to be correct, which means it is equipped with a Snapdragon 720G processor, 4 GB of internal memory and 64 GB of storage. It also offers haptic feedback, stereo speakers and a microphone with noise reduction. Logitech claims that you can lira for up to twelve hours on a charge, and charging it full then takes 2 1/2 hours, under the condition that the unit is switched off. The price is $300 if you pre-book or $350 if you don't, and the launch seems to take place October 18 in the United States.
  22. It's going well now, Cyberpunk 2077. The sad release (not least on the old-gen) is well documented, but in the wake of updates, the Netflix series Edgerunners and the disclosure of a expansion have rushed the number of players. In fact, CD Projects yesterday tweeted that the game was visited by 1 million players each day this week. CD Project thanks for the support of all "Chooms". The future looks bright, with the expansion Phantom Liberty on the horizon. While it will be the only expansion, CD Project promotes "full engagement" in the series even beyond expansion. That, and they have also revealed the next Witcher game that will be the start of a brand new story.
  23. Geforce RTX 40x series is on the horizon and with that most likely a new price-range. As reported by Nvidia, the new RTX 40x series will start at $899 and will, if we look back at history, probably increase in time for launch. So now we wonder, how much do you feel that a GFX card should cost? Sound off in the comments as well.

So now we wonder, how much do you feel that a GFX card should cost? Sound off in the comments as well.
  25. The next generation of graphics cards have been unveiled, which will initially consist of three cards: RTX 4090 24 GB ($1599), RTX 4080 16 GB ($1199) and RTX 4080 12 GB ($899). However, the prices are suggested retail prices, and as we've learned in recent years, it's not impossible for them to skyrocket when the cards are actually released, depending on availability and how eager enthusiasts are to snap them up. The card is powered by the new Ada Lovelace architecture, which should provide better ray tracing capabilities and access to version three of Nvidia's AI-based upscaling technology, DLSS 3. This new version should be able to reconstruct significantly more of each display (up to seven-eighths), which relieves both graphics card and processor and provides better performance. The downside, in turn, is that this technology will not be available for previous RTX cards, but only the 4000 series. The RTX 4090 is supposed to be released on October 12, while the two RTX 4080 cards are due in November. However, at the launch of the 3000 series there was a severe shortage of cards, so it remains to be seen if Nvidia is better prepared for the demand this time around.
