The developers of The Last of Us Part I are closely monitoring player feedback and paying special attention to fixing bugs in the game. In this regard, a new patch has been released that fixes the problem with the sudden wetness of the characters, and also adds several important changes to the game on Steam Deck.
The main attention of the developers was given to optimization and user interface. Fixed issues with AMD RX 5700 and RX 6600 Series GPUs using incorrect default graphics settings. Also fixed the black sky effect that could occur on the Epic Games Store version of the game.
On the other hand, changes have been made to optimize the game. Updated texture streaming to reduce CPU usage, and fixed a crash that could occur in version 1.0.1.6 when launching the game for the first time. An issue that could cause lighting and textures to flicker during gameplay has also been fixed.
Finally, the position of the UI icons on the Steam Deck has been adjusted and PSO caching is no longer stuck at 50%. Overall, all these changes will help players get a smoother and more comfortable gaming experience.
In conclusion, I would like to note that the developers of The Last of Us Part I continue to improve the game in order to ensure maximum enjoyment of the game. The new patch is part of this process and brings more stability and optimization to play on Steam Deck.
Video game developer Ubisoft has announced that the Far Cry series will be developed outside of Ubisoft Montreal. According to insider Tom Henderson, Ubisoft Toronto will also be involved in this project.
In addition, Ubisoft Toronto is already developing its own project - a remake of Splinter Cell. In this regard, it is possible that this studio was involved in the work on the Far Cry series, as the company is currently working on several projects in this universe.
Earlier in 2023, Tom Henderson reported that Ubisoft was working on two games in the Far Cry series. One of the games will be a full-fledged single-player part, and the other will be a multiplayer survival game.
According to an insider, previews of the Splinter Cell remake and one of the new parts of Far Cry were shown at Ubisoft Toronto this week. However, Henderson was unable to find out further details.
An insider suggests that a full-fledged new part of Far Cry will be released no earlier than 2025, and a multiplayer project in the same year.
Thus, Ubisoft continues to develop its game series, bringing in several studios to do this in order to create new and exciting projects. It remains only to wait for new details about the development of games in the Far Cry and Splinter Cell series.

Capcom has unveiled the release trailer for Resident Evil 4 Remake's "The Mercenaries" mode. This arcade-style mode will allow players to compete against dangerous hordes of enemies for a place on the global leaderboard.
In the original Resident Evil 4, the Mercenaries mode was unlocked immediately after completing the main campaign. However, in the remake, Capcom decided to release it two weeks after the game's release as a free download. Early players who tried out the new mode noticed that it lacked Ada Wong and Albert Wesker as playable characters that were available in the original game.
In addition, microtransactions in the form of coupons for special weapon upgrades have been implemented in the "Mercenaries" mode. These coupons can be purchased from the PS Store, Microsoft Store, and Steam for prices ranging from $3 to $10. They give players access to exclusive weapon upgrades regardless of their level, and also make upgrades free.
Some fans of the original Resident Evil 4 game have criticized Capcom for introducing microtransactions into the game and the absence of some characters in the "Mercenaries" mode. However, they still look forward to immersing themselves in the atmosphere of the game and fighting enemies using the new and improved weapon options.
The Mercenaries mode for Resident Evil 4 Remake is another addition that is sure to interest fans of the famous series. A large number of opportunities for competition between players and the use of new improved weapon options will not leave anyone indifferent.
Leviathan Rising is a new event that will be available in Battlefield 2042 from April 11 to April 25. The event includes a new Sabotage game mode and the opportunity to earn unique rewards.
The Sabotage mode is close range combat for infantry. Teams of up to eight specialists battle against each other. In a round limited to 15 minutes, one team must place a special device on certain points on the map while the other team must deactivate it. For each installed device, the attacking team receives points, and for deactivation - the defending team. After the end of the round, the sides change places, and the winner is the team that has earned more points as attackers.
The developers advise using various tactics to successfully control the device. The device can be placed in an open area and shoot approaching enemies or hide it behind cover and organize a reliable defense. Battles in this mode will take place on smaller versions of maps such as Manifesto, Discovery, Stranded, and Flashpoint.
During the event, players will be able to earn new skins for weapons and characters that will not be available after the end of the event. A complete list of available rewards and developer tips for playing Sabotage can be found on the developer website.

News from the gaming world is blowing your mind with the latest news about the development of Counter-Strike 2 with NVIDIA's Reflex technology. According to rumors, it will reduce input lag in the game by up to 35%, and owners of the GTX 900 and newer cards will be able to enjoy all its delights.

Modder Multi has released a NIGHTMARE mod for the remake of Resident Evil 4, which is an ultra-hardcore mode. This mod makes changes to item prices and enemy stats to enhance the challenge of the game and make it even more interesting for experienced players.
In NIGHTMARE, almost all items from the Merchant cost twice as much as in the original game, and they can only be sold for 25% of their value. Also, most of the enemies have become stronger, so players are advised to always have a knife and armor with them. Some enemy attacks can be deadly if Leon doesn't have a knife to fight back.
In NIGHTMARE, yellow herbs are also especially important, which increase maximum health. Without the increased health, Leon may simply not survive some attacks. Modder Multi plans to make Leon's life even more difficult in future versions of the mod, although the specific changes have not been revealed.
NIGHTMARE is already available for download on NexusMods and the Fluffy Mod Manager is required to install the mod.
This modification may be of interest to those who are looking for a big challenge in Resident Evil 4 and want to test their game skills in extreme conditions. Built by an experienced modder and receiving positive feedback from users, NIGHTMARE could be a popular addition to Resident Evil 4.
