Counter Strike: Global Offensive Bloodhound update

Now it is here the new update!

Bloodhoud is a new operation and with it a new update came, a leveling system so you can level up to different ranks. They don't have anything to do with the matchmaking ranks, it's just a profile level system, seems like it's based on the different ranks in the military. Every first level up each week gives the player a drop, here comes the tricky part, if you got bloodhound operation you can get drops from more collections than what you can without the operation pass. I hope I can clarify this for some people because me and my friends had a difficulty to see what you got for perks by having the operations.

I am thinking that the rank can have something to do with the chance for something good to drop, this is not fair for the casual players but sometimes developers do this to keep the hardcore gamers satisfied. A good example where developers focused more on the casual players is when blizzard released the latest expansions for World of Warcraft, it got from pretty hard and challenging to become very casual and easy in my opinion. I took this example since me and my friends played World of Warcraft on a higher level than casuals do and all of us ended up leaving the game. I am not meaning to say that casual players are bad this is just to clarify what happens to the hardcore players if you don't give them some sugar.

More updates are that the CS:GO engine have been updated to the latest steam API SDK and lots of other fixes I will provide a link to where you can read the entire update. This actually makes the game a lot funnier to play!! It's always fun when you have new stuff to do ingame.

Have fun and play safe!

Mortal Kombat X Latest Patch

I am a week late with the "latest" patch update, last week Netherrealm with the cooperation with HVS to make the PC port from consoles. For you who didn't know Netherrealm only developes console versions on their games and then WB hires a second company to make the game ported from console to PC.

Last week they released the patch that should fix the fps drop and bad performance, this patch made all the saved progress to be deleted from those who downloaded the patch. I didn't get the patch before they rolled it back. I did get it last week though and now they have added more options to the video settings. They have added v-sync if you got tearing, an fps fix (that in my opinion doesn't make anything. I am not having big troubles with the game I can enjoy it but some maps are completely unplayable still. This patch has NOT fixed the entirety of the problems, I still think that the game will need several patches just to work properly on mid range computers and not only on high end computers. For me the fps drops have been fixed but I have been fixing things the bios just to make some of my hardware better. You could download MSI afterburner and look at GPU and CPU usage to see if you got a bottleneck somewhere and overclock after that. MSI afterburner works for both Nvidia and radeon graphic cards.

The patch got released and so did Jason Voorhees from friday the 13th. So go out and try him out, he is really funny to play and he got very easy combos.

Killing Floor 2 - The Best Zed Survival Game



So this is the second game entitled killing floor from tripwire, I played the first game a lot and really enjoyed it. The way you play this game is very funny and it got some cool features to it.

Killing floor is a zed survival game, either you play alone or you play online/co-op. From what I have seen in this game they have different game modes. But I am used to the zed survival mode with different waves, the difficulty can be set from a various set of difficulties like hell on earth, normal and easy. The amount of waves can also be set, after you have beaten all waves you will fight the boss, he got several phases with different attacks and it's a good way to end the games with.

Killing floor 2 provides the perks that killing floor 1 also did, you play as a commander, medic, berserker or support(Se the provided picture below).


What they did in killing floor 2 that differs from the first is that the perks got higher levels and the medic class is not completely useless. You can actually get a lot of kills as a medic and the medic weapons are very fun to play with. I have not been trying any of the others since I wanted to try the medic. This game is still in early access and there are only 3 maps that are playable so I will wait with playing this until they have released some more maps. According to the dev you should be prepared for complete stats whipes during early access.

Tripwire have gone a long way with this game, it's complete graphic level up compared to many of the other games that they have developed. The game itself feels A LOT better than the other games they have developed like red orchestra/rising sun and killing floor. I am not saying that tripwires old games are bad, but they I don't get a good feeling when I play them. Killing floor 2 gives me a different sort of feeling, a feeling that the game is thought through and the developers actually took the credit from killing floor and made this game as good as possible.

 I think killing floor 2 could be the game gem for tripwire, this game have been quite hyped around my friend circle.

They uploaded a movie where they interviewed the person that made all the movements for all the zed in this game, and just from that interview you can hear how much time they spent in making this game this good. The zed's doesn't move as if they were completely mindless, they got nice movements and I actually think it's quite creepy the way some of the zeds move.

I really enjoyed playing this game so I can't do anything else than to recommend this game. Bring your friends, it's time to slaughter zeds.

Some print screens of the game:









Mortal Kombat X FPS FIX UPDATE

I have now been having tremendous problems with the fps in mortal kombat x, even though I run it on a computer that is more than enough to run this game on.

The game itself is very bad optimized for the PC, only super high end computers run this without any problem. The AMD drivers are not running this game very well, the AMD developers are working on it last time I checked.

But if you suffer from FPS problems in Mortal Kombat X there are a couple of fixes that you can do. What I have learned by googling and watching several other peoples problem is that the game doesn't use the GPU (graphic processing unit) to max but uses only 1/3 of it. The game forces itself on your CPU(central processing unit) instead and makes it go to the maximum.

How to solve this and make the game run on the GPU instead is so go to video and put shadows to very low and everything else on high, set window boxing on OFF. In advance you should put motion blur to off.

Restart the game after you have changed anything in the video options since the game doesn't change it without a restart.

This helped me to play the game at a way better FPS, some maps are still terrible like sky temple and the krypt still lags. Hopefully NetherRealm will fix these problems soon so everyone can enjoy this good game.

UPDATE: After the patch that was supposed to fix everything this doesn't really cut it anymore, I am playing on maxed out graphics and are not having fps problems. This could possibly still change the fps for some players but I think they have fixed some of the problems.

Peace out!


VAC-Ban wave

This is the second big vac wave in a very short time span. This is fantastic, the only thing we could hope for is a faster vac ban since you can cheat and not get banned for a couple of months.

The reason behind this is so the hackers doesn't know which hack they got banned for which makes bigger ban waves, but it ruins the game while you play against the hackers.

On this site you can see latest vac bans: https://vacstat.us/list/latest/vac

Fun site to keep track off.
