I took advantage of Dead Space but found it too difficult to play - the cursor movement was "jagged" and nothing I changed in settings made it feel comfortable. I don't have the best game rig, not even a good one, but I play Left for Dead 2 absolutely fine, so I guess its a bug or something.

 

Awesome that Battlefield 3 is available. Heads up, its 20GB so will probably have to leave it overnight. 

 

I realize that this is a few days late but to fix that you just have to turn off vsync in game and then turn it on through your graphics drivers software.

Okay, just to be sure, is that the "wait for vertical refresh" in the AMD catalyst control center? I've added Dead Space as a new profile and put that to "always on".

^ it's the original one.

 

I imagine they hope you'll enjoy the first one so much that you'll be enticed to purchase the second one.

 

It's still a good game, though have had my fill on X1 with Peggle 2. Which will likely be next months Games with Gold entry for X1 :s

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning was added too.

 

And semi related, SimCity (5) now has a 4 hour SP demo available.

Meanwhile in the overnight, Battlefield 4 gives way to Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare for the weekend.  (The Game of the Year version of the original was featured in On the House in June - so the comparing is easy.)

Garden Warfare is super fun, so I recommend anyone who hasn't played it to try it out.

And it's using the Frostbite engine (same engine used by the Battlefield franchise) - should it be called the Warfare Engine?

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
