PC gaming sees DLSS 5 visual upgrades and Call of Duty security risks

PC gaming enthusiasts are utilizing advanced AI technologies to modernize older titles, while security vulnerabilities continue to plague legacy software.

Using third-party tools like DLSS 5 Feeder or DLSS 5 Autopilot, players have successfully applied NVIDIA’s DLSS 5 technology to Resident Evil 5. This integration allows the game to run in native 4K with enhanced textures and improved visual clarity, effectively eliminating aliasing and increasing smoothness during intense combat. Similar advancements have been noted in Resident Evil Revelations 2, where neural rendering helps remove blur and sub-pixel shimmering in dark environments.

Conversely, security risks remain high for players of older Call of Duty titles. An RCE (Remote Code Execution) exploit exists in titles ranging from the original Call of Duty up to Black Ops 3. This vulnerability allows hackers to remotely execute Windows command prompts (CMD) in the background, potentially leading to file theft or system compromise. Reports suggest that versions acquired through the Microsoft Store or Xbox Game Pass may be particularly vulnerable as they lack certain security layers found in Steam. Currently, no security patch is available to fully mitigate this risk.
