The new Escape From Tarkov Unheard Edition has drawn criticism from players of the extraction shooter owing to its PvE co-op mode that features persistent progression. Previously, the Edge of Darkness Edition was the most premium version of the game and promised owners that they would receive “free access to all subsequent DLCs.” The EOD Edition has since been removed from sale, and now, even those Tarkov players who own it will have to pay an additional cost to access the new Unheard PvE mode.

A new software update for the Asus ROG Ally will effectively enable you to enable frame generation in any game, thanks to AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames technology. Unlike Nvidia’s DLSS 3 frame generation tech, and AMD FSR 3, Fluid Motion Frames is simply enabled in the AMD GPU driver and doesn’t require specific game support. In theory, you just enable it and then enjoy your faster frame rates, although we’ve found the results can be variable.
