Taking control of your browser performance when using extensions with Microsoft Edge
by Guest Microsoft Edge Team- 0 replies
- 56 views
We're introducing our extension performance detector to help you learn how extensions might impact browsing performance. Installing extensions can make you more productive and help you personalize Microsoft Edge to your needs. However, if you notice some delay in loading pages, this might be due to extensions which run extra lines of web code to personalize the page for you. Microsoft Edge can now detect when these delays become noticeable and persistent. We want to help you make decisions about the extensions you use if performance issues stemming from extensions start slowing you down.

Very few, if any, game studios have as many challenges as GSC Game World did while trying to finish a long-awaited sequel. “War Game: The Making of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2” is a documentary focused on the Ukrainian-based team and how they’ve overcome obstacle after obstacle, including working in a warzone and moving studios across countries.

Grygorovych emphasized to Variety how “scary” it was to agree to the proposal from Xbox to make the film. “It wasn’t my dream to do…

Find out why Ara: History Untold stands out as a grand strategy game
by Guest Athima Chansanchai, Writer- 0 replies
- 46 views
Over at Xbox Wire, editor Mike Nelson shares insights on the ways Ara: History Untold differentiates itself from other grand strategy games. “Elements like crafting, simultaneous turns and a diverse group of well-known and lesser-known historical figures are just some of the ways it stands apart,” he writes. “In a typical turn-based grand strategy game, players take turns sequentially – you can see what your opponent is planning and you’re given a chance to counter that move and vice versa. The difference for Ara is that it will process all those actions at once – this is what the team is referring to when talking about Simultaneous Turns; it’s simultaneously resolving ev…
