What graphics card do I need for HDR and what PC games support it?Oct 30, 2019 - Rock, Paper, Shotgun HDR on PC hasn’t improved much in 2019. Despite there being more HDR gaming monitors than ever before, the very s for HDR continue to be quite expensive compared to non-HDR monitors, and the situation around Windows 10 support for it is still a bit of a mess. However, provided you’re willing to fight through all that, then the next step on your path to high dynamic range glory is to get an HDR compatible graphics card. Below, you’ll find a complete list of all the Nvidia and AMD graphics cards that have built-in support for HDR, as well as everything you need to know about getting one that also supports Nvidia and AMD’s own HDR standards, G-Sync Ultimate and FreeSync 2. I’ve also put together a list of all the PC games that support HDR as well, so you know exactly which PC games you can start playing in high dynamic range.

Remember to keep an eye out for the in-game message for when the servers will be closing for the update! Warning! Meteorites are dropping in the Graveyard (aka Dark Forest) area on the Sacred Path, and dark creatures are invited to join in on the Halloween Party. Adventurers will be able to find items that are exclusive to these Halloween meteorites! However, obtaining these treats will be no easy feat! You will have to defeat the dark creatures to obtain them! Skeletons dressed up in unusual costumes are also ambushing careless adventurers. Adventurers will encounter knight Skeleton, archer Skeleton, and wizard Skeleton. You may even run into mini Reapers and mini Elite Dark Wraiths. These dark creatures carry all sorts of Halloween candy that will grant you power - if you can take the side effect! Adventurers are advised to hunt them down! New Halloween Candy BloodBerry Candy: a red Halloween candy containing evil power which buffs damage while slowly poisoning the user SnakeVine Candy: a yellow Halloween candy containing evil power, which buffs movement speed while slowly poisoning the user. Ghost Mushroom Candy: a blue Halloween candy containing evil power, which reduces stamina cost and mana cost while slowly poisoning the user. Vermouth Candy: a green Halloween candy containing evil power, which removes the poisoning effect on you at the cost of your Health Points.. Assorted Candy: a jar of assorted Halloween candy; can be crafted using the other four Halloween Candy and the Pumpkin Candy Jar. Without poisoning you, Assorted Candy grants you all 4 buffs that each of Halloween Candies provides. You can consume the Assorted Candy only up to 5 times, and once you eat it all, the Pumpkin Candy Jar will be returned to you. **Note: Assorted Candy is also Mini Elite Dark Wraith’s favorite feed. You heard us. Mini Elite Dark Wraith is tameable! In addition to the Halloween candies, we have a few other new Items, the Evil Treasure (pumpkin storage box) and the Pumpkin Candy Jar. As an extension to our regular weekend double harvest rate, all official servers will enjoy both double harvest rate and double taming rate from October 26th to November 4th. Thank you.

After perusing the feedback over the weekend, we will be moving forward with the changes proposed previously: https://steamcommunity.com/games/529180/announcements/detail/1591383946839491631 Originally we had announced that we would be referring to these new servers Chaos Fury - however, we have decided instead to name these new servers Chaos Battle to emphasize the fast-paced PVP nature. Chaos Server Scheduled Shutdown Asian Chaos Servers have already been shut down and rebooted to Chaos Battle. EU and NA Chaos servers are scheduled to go down on October 8 at 1:00 AM PDT First Chaos Battle Batch The first batch of Chaos Battle servers is scheduled to go live shortly after the Chaos Servers shut down on October 8th at 1:00 AM PDT - three Archos server and one Gaia server, all of which are server-transferrable to other Chaos Battle servers The next two batches will expand upon previous batches and are scheduled to be released after a two week period between each batch. 2x Harvest Extension In light of the Chaos Server Revamp, we will be extending 2x Harvest across ALL servers until October 8, 1:00 AM PDT. Chaos Players Compensation Players from the original Chaos servers can contact a GM at Customer Support to ask for compensation for the lost items in server wipe, Compensation can be received on any server of the player's choice, with the exception of the new Chaos Battle servers. The deadline to submit a ticket for compensation will be October 8, 1:00 AM PDT. Players may also contact Customer Support for a saved archive of their Chaos Server.

Thanks for your continued patience. For now though, we'd like to begin a discussion on the state of Chaos Servers. For a time now, Chaos servers have seen less activity compared to our other servers. This deserved some looking into, and after some consideration, the development team has decided to revamp the Chaos Servers. We are looking to shut down the Chaos Servers to introduce Chaos Fury Servers with new settings and rules. The plan is to have players start anew on the Chaos Fury servers. Of course, we'd like to hear from our Community before we make such changes and are open to suggestions. 9/27 - Edit To allow the remaining Chaos players to enjoy the last bit of it before we close them down, the team will be enabling server transfer among all Chaos servers on 9/30 1:00 AM PDT. Servers will temporarily go down at this time in order to enable the change. Chaos Fury Server - Proposed Rules and Settings Server settings: 5x exp gain 10x harvest rate 3x resource spawning speed 5x taming rate 3x dino damage War Declaration: 3 hours to prepare for war after a house is declared war upon. 6 hours for war time Note: Depending on the amount of active players, we are potentially looking into having these be fast-paced servers that are wiped on a monthly basis. Tentative Schedule After gathering community feedback and finalizing the Chaos Fury settings, we will make an announcement and begin to roll out the Chaos Fury servers in 3 batches - one batch every 2 weeks. A more detailed schedule will be provided with the final announcement. I was playing on a Chaos Server, what can be done? Players from the original Chaos servers can contact GM to ask for compensation on their new server. The deadline for compensation will be announced upon finalization of the Chaos Fury plans as well. Players can also ask for a saved archive of the Chaos servers Please let us know your feedback on the proposed changes! We look forward to hearing from the community. :)Dark and Light Patch 9/19Sep 18, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings Adventurers, Our next update will be around 1:00 am PDT on September 19.

We thank you for your patience as we continue to place a new foundation. Console? There have been questions about whether Dark and Light would be released on other platforms. Porting to Consoles is an entire endeavor on its own. Console development is a different process and presents its own unique challenges. If you would like to understand a little more about porting to consoles, please refer to this article here: What Goes into Porting to Consoles for Non-developers That being said, the development team would like to focus their efforts on bringing Dark and Light to full release before we consider other platforms Development Kit We're happy to see that there is continued interest in the DnL Dev Kit. We loved seeing how our modding community was able to add to the world we created. However, as we are pushing towards full release, it is unlikely that the Dev Kit will be updated before then. Thank you for your understanding! Decay/Timer bug Thank you for all of your bug reports! The issue with the decay and timers has been particularly of note.
