A Kotaku piece reports a viral theory that Monster Hunter Wilds’ PC stutter and low FPS may be caused by how the game checks for DLC; a Reddit user found dramatically better FPS on a friend’s DLC-enabled account, and a modder released a DLC-check bypass to test the theory; Capcom hasn’t confirmed the claim, though the game has dozens of DLC packs on Steam and patches have repeatedly added more DLC.
A modder who replaced creatures in Palworld with Pokémon received a cease and desist from a man resembling a Nintendo lawyer, sparking speculation about the authenticity of the encounter. Some believe the lawyer may have been generated by AI, while legal experts pushed back on the modder's claims. Nintendo declined to comment on the issue.
Modder CryZENx has released an Unreal Engine 5.3.1 remake of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, allowing players to explore Kakariko village, Deathmountain Trail, and Goron City with enhanced graphics. The remake features improved lighting using Lumen, stunning reflections, and revamped cutscenes and inventory system. While this unofficial remake offers a taste of what Nintendo could create in the future, it is unlikely that Zelda and Link will ever officially come to PC.
A modder has successfully activated the long-awaited Stop N Swop feature in the original Nintendo 64 version of Banjo-Kazooie, a feature that was originally planned but abandoned. The feature allowed players to unlock content by quickly swapping cartridges. The modder demonstrated the trick by inserting a modified version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which copied the required unlock information to the console's memory. This achievement showcases the functionality of the feature on original hardware, which was removed due to concerns about potential damage and compatibility issues with hardware revisions.
