Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl gets a massive patch with an AI overhaul and lots of A-Life fixes

lol 110GB patch. Stupid UE5 i guess.
I'm near the end of the game now and didnt have many issues tbh. few strange NPC spawns, animation jank, artifact spawning inside the rocks and poor performance in Rostok Main building, but other than that its been mostly troublefree. Game has been super stable for me also.
Nice to see huge list of fixes though.

Chilly survival game BLACKFROST: The Long Dark 2 announced

They switched to UE5?
So we can expect poor performance and the need to use upscalers and framegen again ....

Other than that, not much to go on with this trailer again. Absolutely zero gameplay again.
Hopefully its immersive First Person though like the first one.

Steam page has a bit more info. Looks interesting at least. Lets wait and see i guess

Xfce 4.20 desktop released with experimental Wayland support

My second choice for DE. But like MATE, it seems the wayland stuff is extremely experimental, broken and missing features.

so yeah i think this will take at least couple of years to get it functional and edge cases ironed out.

I wonder which will get there first: MATE or XFCE.

But anyway, i will have to stick with X11 for many years to come :)
at least it works the way i expect it to work.

Turok: Origins announced and it's now a third-person shooter with co-op

It's this time of year where we get trailers that tell absolutely nothing about game.
At least this shows tiny clips of "gameplay" in the end, but yeah. Basically zero stuff about how it will play.
Is it open world? is it mission/lobby based?
Looks very generic tbh.

Never been into Turok games myself tbh, but first 2 were quite decent back in the days.

Golf With Your Friends 2 announced for Early Access in 2025

First game is amazing to play with friends. Has lots of fun community made maps also.
I don't see any gameplay here and from the pictures and video it looks pretty much identical visually to first one.
Seems content light also like mentioned...
Lets see i guess

Can someone explain where that
Added NVIDIA Blur Filter and Background Blur
Thing is? I can't see it under filters. Im on v31.0.0
does it depend on the camera you are using or do i need some extra packages?
