Any one played Devil May Cry 5 ? Is it CPU heavy ( minimum requirements say - Intel® Core™ i5-4460, AMD FX™-6300 ) - I have 2200G
I played it, I don't think it was CPU heavy. Too weak CPUs will still be bottlenecking the system though if paired with a good GPU.

Started Day's Gone. The control system feels kinds weird when I try to look around. It feels a little shaky and slow. Other than this game is running smooth.

Anyone been playing New World, Amazon's new MMO?
Looks good and reviews seem to be favourable, other than negative reviews for server issues and long queue times.

Careful with this game. Since many reddit users reported that this game fried their GPU.

Thought it was just the 3090s getting bricked and that too due to poor soldering on EVGA's part. Didn't know about other cards suffering same fate. Seems the cards are getting power hungry while playing and experiencing thermal shutdown.

Its mostly because of nvidia not locking down till a certain temperature limit, (or maybe combination of the issue of poor soldering).

Anyhow, a game bricking cards isnt the game's fault technically. Nvidia/EVGA need to own up.

Goddamn Epic games store, i lost all saves of Horizon Zero dawn playthrough, I thought it was cloud saved but its not. Now I have formatted by original ssd from my desktop which had all saves. What a travesty EGS, you had one job.

Did you take a backup of Documents folder before formatting?, the saves should be in that folder. you can copy from backup to current documents when game is not running.

No I didnt take backup, I thought cloud saves would handle it. Too late. I got used to Steam's reliability. EGS turned out to be a hive of scum and villainy.
