Yeah, as large as the game is, its over a 2 hour download at 2 MB/s. Considering it is 12 PM EST, downloads would have had to start at 10 AM EST, and considering it is not a weekend, not many people have had a chance to download or play it at all yet. Hopefully it doesn't have performance issues, or if it does hopefully there is a driver fix or patch coming soon, because I don't remember any performance issues with the first one.

Downloaded it last night and played it for 3 hours, Direct X 11 isn't optimized at all, horrible proformace. Checking the Steam Forum shows im not the only one it doesn't work for. I heard AMD released new drivers today, so I'm going to try that tonight. though turning off direct x 11 and using 9, it runs better then Aslyum.

It's a little stuttery even with the 11.11b on my 6870 but I haven't had huge reasons to turn it off.

Especially in scene transitions...it just goes boom for a second and then comes back to being smooth.

the DX11 wasnt amd's problem...it was the developers. They're working on a patch. I had the same issues with my evga 560. Turning off DX11 fixes it.

This has to be the best-looking Unreal Engine 3 game to date. The developers, artists, and animators have done a really good job with the graphics and animations. I was especially impressed with the use of Scaleform for the in-game HUD and UI. It's cool because it uses hardware-accelerated vector graphics which means it won't have that annoying low resolution texture effect.

Is there any point to complete augmented reality trainings? I completed 3 of them to get grappling hook update, but now there are 2 more missions which are quite hard :(.

IIRC, once you get the grappling hook from the first 3 missions, no real benefit to doing the others, but I could be wrong, I forget as it has been awhile.

Not too interested in achievements. I expected the game to be longer, but apart from several side missions there isnt much to do. And riddler secrets is too much of a pointless grinding.

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
