  AMD Releases Fix for Windows 11 Bug that Impacted Ryzen Performance

  This is just one part of the fix however.
  
  Earlier this month, it became apparent that there were some issues with AMD Ryzen performance when using Windows 11. In fact, these issues were present since some of the earliest betas for Windows 11 but they largely went ignored until the operating system's first public release. Some testing showed that system performance could decrease by roughly 15% compared to the same hardware running on Windows 10. At the time, AMD and Microsoft said...

  Five Additional Specialists Revealed for Battlefield 2042

  New Specialists bring new abilities to the Battlefield.
  
  Love them or hate them, the Specialists are here to stay in Battlefield 2042. The recent beta for the game only featured four out of the ten Specialists that the game will launch with, which often made it seem like there was a lack of variety between players. Most people definitely gravitated towards the grapple hook after all.
  
  The other five Specialists were revealed today by DICE and they include: Constantin "Angel"...

  'The Hidden' Game Mode Coming to Pavlov VR

  Fans of The Hidden: Source have reason to rejoice.

Technically, the mod still exists now but it hasn't been updated in years. For a time, it was hugely popular and still manages to have a handful of dedicated players these days.
  
  In The Hidden: Source, one person played as "The Hidden,"...
