![]() The Australian edition of Kotaku is focused on taking all this fantastic news and crafting it into a tasty treat for all you Aussies and Kiwis. Whether it’s the latest info on a new game, or hot gossip on the industry’s movers, shakers and smashers, you’ll find it all here and nicely packaged at Kotaku. They’d be one in the same in every lexicon on the planet if it were humanly possible. If you spot a misleading or false game ad, you can report the details to the ACCC in Australia. But until misleading and predatory advertising is curbed, mobile gaming will have an image problem. Mobile gaming has grown exponentially over the last decades, with services like Apple Arcade and Google Play Pass giving a platform to high quality mobile games, and phones finally being powerful enough to run epic, world-spanning adventures. Playrix isn’t the only developer guilty of using these tactics to advertise their games, but they are among the first to be reprimanded for it. These ads often rely on predatory or goading language to drive downloads, with players being bullied or teased into downloading the games. While a similar ruling has yet to reach Australian shores, it’s an important step in cleaning up the image of mobile gaming. Instagram and Facebook consistently serve up false advertising for mobile games with little indication of when or if advertisements represent real gameplay. Ultimately, the Playrix ads were banned from advertising platforms in the UK due to their misleading content. This argument was shot down by the ASA, which stated consumers would expect ads for Playrix’s games to reflect the content of actual gameplay and contain some level of challenge, rather than a simple match-three game. In response to the ASA’s complaint, Playrix reportedly argued their advertisements shared “thematic similarities” with their gameplay and narrative.

Bicyclists are permitted to travel in the center of the traffic lane if there are safety hazards on the right side of the road (such as parked cars or debris) or if the lane is too narrow for a bicycle and a vehicle to share. Passing Bicyclistsīicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities on the road as motorists. If they are stopped because they are allowing a pedestrian to cross the roadway, their vehicle may block your view of the pedestrian. Slow down and prepare to stop if you are approaching an intersection where other vehicles are stopped, even though the traffic control devices indicate they are authorized to proceed. When stopping to allow a pedestrian to cross in front of you, leave sufficient room between your vehicle and the crosswalk so that approaching traffic can see the entirety of the crosswalk. Whenever any vehicle is stopped to permit a pedestrian to cross the roadway at a marked crosswalk or at any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, the driver of any other vehicle approaching from the rear shall not overtake and pass the stopped vehicle. ![]() It is unlawful to increase your speed before you have been passed completely by the overtaking vehicle. It is considered courteous to reduce your speed slightly, making it easier for the other vehicle to pass you. When a driver behind you is overtaking your vehicle, be alert for any unsafe actions by the other driver. You may also pass on the right when traveling on a multi-lane highway carrying two or more lanes of traffic in the same direction. You may pass on the right of another vehicle which is making or about to make a left turn if there is sufficient pavement width for both your vehicle and the vehicle making the left turn. Upon a multi-lane, two way highway, you must never drive to the left of the center line except when authorized to do so by traffic control signals or signs or when making a left turn into an alley, private road or driveway. A roadway with more than one lane is restricted to one-way traffic.A roadway includes two or more marked lanes in the same direction.An obstruction makes it necessary to drive to the left of the center line, but only after yielding to oncoming traffic.Lawfully overtaking and passing another vehicle going in the same direction.When a school bus is stopped to load or unload passengers.On a hill or curve where it is not possible to see oncoming vehicles which might be close enough to be a hazard.When a car approaching from the opposite direction makes passing unsafe or will be within 200 feet of your vehicle prior to the completion of a passing maneuver.Within 100 feet of a bridge, viaduct or tunnel.Within 100 feet of a railroad crossing.In areas marked by a solid yellow line on the right of the center line, or a “Do Not Pass” sign, or double yellow lines.Be sure to turn your signal off once you have returned to the right lane. Activate your right turn signal before returning to the right lane.Wait until you can see the car you have just passed in your rear view mirror ![]()
8 Oligopoly Most oligopolists produce differentiated products Key features of oligopoly barriers to entry- size of the barriers varies from industry to industry. But monopolies are likely to achieve greater economies of scale and have more funds for investment and research and development. ![]() comparison with monopoly freedom of entry for new firms and the lack of long-run supernormal profits under monopolistic competition help keep prices down for the consumer and encourage cost saving. Firms under monopolistic competition are said to have excess capacity Q 1 - Q 2 Excess capacity (under monopolistic competition) - in the long run, firms under monopolistic competition will produce at an output below their minimum- cost point. By producing more, firms would move to a lower point on their LRAC curve. Firms will not be producing at the least-cost point. Less will be sold and at a higher price. A crucial assumption here is that a firm would have the same long-run average cost ( LRAC ) curve in both cases. ![]() MC A, additional advertising will add to profit The public interest comparison with perfect competition It will produce the lower output of Q 2 at the higher price of P 2. The optimal amount of advertising is where the revenue from additional advertising ( MR A) is equal to its cost ( MC A). Advertising is to sell the product- informing the consumer of the product’sĮxistence and availability, deliberately trying to persuade consumers to purchase Developmen t to produce a product that will sell well (in high or potentially highĭemand) and that is different from rivals’ products (relatively inelastic demand due MR = MC AR = AC under-utilisation of capacity in long run Limitations of the model imperfect information difficulty in identifying industry demand curve entry may not be totally free indivisibilities importance of non-price competition - competition in terms of product promotion (advertising, packaging) or product development The firm’s demand curve settles at D L, where it is tangential to the firm’s LRAC curve. Normal profits remain: when there is no further incentive for new firms to enter. The demand for the established firms falls, demand ( AR ) curve shifts to the left, and will continue doing so as long as supernormal profits remain and thus new firms continue entering. As new rivals enter take some of the customers away from established firms. MR = MC long run: supernormal profits competed away. Equilibrium of the firm short run: possibility for supernormal profits, the diagram will be the same as for the monopolist, except that the AR and MR curves will be more elastic. A situation where a firm faces a downward-sloping demand curve. Assumptions of monopolistic competition many or several firms- Independence (of firms in a market) - where the decisions of one firm in a market will not have any significant effect on the demand curves of its rivals free entry differentiated product- where one firm’s product is sufficiently different from its rivals’ to allow it to raise the price of the product without customers all switching to the rivals’ products. Imperfect Competition 8 Monopolistic Competition- a lot of firms competing, but where each firm does nevertheless have some degree of market power (hence the term ‘monopolistic’ competition): each firm has some choice over what price to charge for its products. The lowest price in the market is the point where AR=AC - the point where normal profits are being made.Chapter 8. Profits will be competed away until the lowest price in the market. The firms will therefore experience a decrease in demand. The AR (Demand) and MR curves will shift to the left - this is because individual firms are losing customers to new firms. But what happens to the firm's revenue and cost curves? What happens? Similar to perfect competition, the market supply curve will shift to the right because of the increase in firms. That means new firms are going to enter the market - they can do this easily because there are no or low barriers to entry in this market model. What happens when people hear about the supernormal profits being made in this industry? People have the incentive to start their own firms and join the market and have a share in the profits. So in the short-run, supernormal profits can be made.
![]() ![]() Additionally, there are rumours circulating which suggests that Rise of the Tomb Raider might receive a DirectX 12 patch. On another note, the Vulkan API is an open source alternative supporting Windows 7, 8.1, 10, Linux, Android and more! Competition is vital to push technology forward, and it’s not beyond the realm of possibilities to see emulators adopt both APIs.ĭolphin is one of the most promising emulators and allows users to play Gamecube and Wii games! This is a fantastic project because it’s possible to experience iconic Nintendo games at high resolutions. On the original hardware, the output resolution is quite limiting and features a really murky look on modern Televisions. As always, it’s incredibly difficult to create a working emulator with low hardware demands. The user “hdcmeta” on the Dolphin forums, has created a DirectX 12 backend which exhibits performance improvements of up to 50%: Currently, Dolphin works very well using the DirectX 11 but there’s some room for improvement. “Generally, graphics-intensive games get a nice win, while (Gamecube CPU)-bound games (Zelda OOT from the ‘bonus disk’ is a good example) are the same – graphics wasn’t on the critical path there. Here we can see the percentile difference between DirectX 11, DirectX 12, and OpenGL: In general, CPU usage is now much lower for the same workload relative to DX11/OpenGL.” At higher resolutions, graphics becomes more important, so the relative improvement can increase there. This is astonishing and showcases the kind of optimization on low-mid range hardware. Descrição: O DXCPL é um emulador de DirectX para Windows destinado para que computadores com placas de vídeo mais antigas, limitadas ao DirectX 9 e 10, por exemplo, possam executar jogos mais atuais usando APIs gráficas mais recentes com DirectX 11 ou 12. I’m interested to see if the performance increases scale in a similar fashion on higher end GPUs. There certainly are some interesting bells and whistles we would like to add but customer feedback helps us prioritize our work.Whatever the case, it seems DirectX 12 has a major benefit in emulators and this is going to be great news for anyone wanting to play older Nintendo games in glorious detail. ![]() At the moment, D3DConfig has a very simple design. If you get a chance to try out D3DConfig let us know that you think. Of course, the –help option provides a full list of available options. > d3dconfig message-break -add-id-12 722ħ22: D3D12_MESSAGE_ID_CREATERESOURCE_INVALIDMIPLEVELS In order to remain compatible with the DX Control Panel, this is a two-step process: > d3dconfig message-break allow-debug-breaks=true > d3dconfig debug-layer debug-layer-mode=force-onīreak-on debug messages can also be controlled using D3DConfig. One of the most common tasks done in DXCpl is to force the debug layer on.

For example, DRED settings are only available in D3DConfig. This means that new settings are likely to be exposed only in the D3DConfig tool. At this time we have no plans to expand the DXCpl user interface. Similarly, the DXCpl reflects most D3DConfig settings. You can still use the DirectX Control Panel if you like. Graphics Tools can be installed by using Windows 10 “Manage Optional Features” settings, or by running the following command: > DISM /online /add-capability /capabilityname:~~~~0.0.1.0 If you have been holding off installing Graphics Tools until you could change D3D settings from the command line, then your time has come. If you already have Graphics Tools installed (you do if you are using D3D debug layers), then updating to 20H1 will automatically add D3DConfig to your system. D3DConfig.exe is part of the Graphics Tools Feature-on-Demand and is available in the “20H1” Windows 10 Insider Preview (currently build 18970 in fast-ring). The D3DConfig tool can display and modify the DXCpl settings from the comfort of your very own console window or batch script. Introducing D3DConfig.exe in, a console app compatible with DXCpl. In addition, the UI-based DXCpl doesn’t integrate into automation scripts, nor is it useful on scaled-down Windows platforms that do not support Win32-based user interfaces. But what started as a simple utility for controlling D3D debug output and driver type selection has struggled to keep up with modern DX12 debugging options. The DirectX Control Panel (DXCpl.exe) has dutifully given developers the ability to configure Direct3D debug settings for nearly two decades.
