Deathloop received a hotfix for PC on Tuesday to combat a widespread stuttering issue.

The patch notes for the new update address potential stutter when moving the camera in-game with a mouse. The patch notes also mention that the developers are aware of stuttering at high framerates and are working to fix the problem.

"This hotfix addresses an issue experienced by some players on PC whereby mouse-based camera movement could result in the appearance of 'stutter,'" the patch notes read. "Additionally, we are looking into a separate, but related issue that we have identified as a factor that may also be a cause of stuttering at high framerates. We will update further on this as soon as we have more information."

The stuttering issue on PC has been prevalent since the game's launch on September 14. Many people blamed the Denuvo anti-piracy software in the game, although testers have noted that it may be a different issue involving the framerate, which the new patch notes agree with.

While Deathloop itself has received positive feedback from the gaming community and critics, including a glowing 10/10 review from IGN, the game has received some criticism. Gamers with disabilities have called to attention Deathloop's disappointing button customization and menu navigation.

Deathloop is available now on PC and PlayStation 5 with Nvidia Reflex recently adding support for Deathloop. Check out what's included in Deathloop's deluxe edition before making a purchase.

Netflix is approaching a deal that will see the streamer acquire the rights to the written works of the late novelist Roald Dahl, as reported by Bloomberg.

The agreement would see Dahl's deep catalog — which includes works like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, and James and the Giant Peach — fall under the streamer's umbrella, who will likely develop them into various television series and movies.

The deal would represent a serious investment on Netflix's part, as the streamer doesn't often participate in acquisitions: the company has made fewer than 10 over the past decade. Instead, the streamer mostly creates original content through a series of deals with production companies and filmmakers.

The potential agreement comes almost three years after Netflix announced that it was developing a slate of animated series adapted from Dahl's works in a deal that was reported to fetch a price somewhere between $500 million and $1 billion, one of the largest in the history of kids and family programming.

While details regarding the acquisition are still under wraps, the outright purchase of the rights to Dahl's catalog —which has sold more than 250 million copies worldwide — will almost certainly be an expensive endeavor.

Two other Roald Dahl projects are currently in development. Netflix is currently producing a new version of Matilda, which was previously adapted in a 1996 feature directed by Danny DeVito. Meanwhile, Warner Bros. is developing a Willy Wonka prequel that will star Timothée Chalamet as the titular chocolatier. Paddington director Paul King is attached to helm the film, though it is unclear how Netflix's potential acquisition of Dahl's works may impact the project.

Spider-Man: No Way Home looks to be introducing multiple new costumes to Peter Parker's ever-growing wardrobe. While his new black and gold costume is only briefly glimpsed in the first No Way Home trailer, Hot Toys is giving MCU fans a much closer look at the suit.

While Hot Toys teased this figure earlier in 2021, it's since been tweaked to more closely resemble the design seen in the film (including removing the red costume elements). Get a closer look at Spidey's new duds in the slideshow gallery below:

Interestingly, the new costume is more reminiscent of the symbiote costume worn by Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker in 2007's Spider-Man 3. The figure does include an unmasked Tom Holland head sculpt, but given Marvel's ironclad secrecy these days, we wouldn't entirely rule out the idea that Holland isn't the one wearing this costume in the film. Both Maguire and Andrew Garfield are heavily rumored to be reprising their roles in No Way Home.

These new images also hint at a possible magical upgrade for Spidey. The gauntlets resemble those worn by Doctor Strange, and the figure includes several mystical energy accessories. Will Peter be forced to augment his high-tech costume with magic this time around? There's already a precedent for this, thanks to the animated series Marvel's What If? (coincidentally, Zombie Hunter Spider-Man is also getting the Hot Toys treatment).

The Spider-Man: No Way Home Black & Gold Suit figure is currently available to preorder through Sideshow Collectibles, Big Bad Toy Store and various other retailers, with an estimated release window of Q1 to Q2 2022.

Spider-Man: No Way Home hits theaters on December 17. Fans are already speculating Tom Hardy's Venom will make an appearance, following a deleted photo of Hardy wearing a No Way Home hat.

Nickelodeon's Rugrats reboot has been renewed for a second season, with all-new episodes of Season One heading to Paramount+ on October 7.

You better continue to hang on to your diapers, babies, because the CGI reboot of Rugrats has just been renewed for a 13-episode second season in the U.S., Latin America, Australia and Canada. The news of the renewal arrives right ahead of the next eight episodes of Season One.

"Kids series' are a key driver of engagement for Paramount+," Tanya Giles, Chief Programming Officer at Paramount+, said of the announcement. "With the renewal of Rugrats for a second season, we look forward to bringing even more adventures with Tommy, Chuckie, Angelica and the rest of the Rugrats for kids and families to enjoy."

"This next season of Rugrats will dive even deeper into the secret life of babies and their unsuspecting parents, while continuing to highlight the main themes of friendship and family," added Nickelodeon Animation President Ramsey Naito, who also highlighted that the renewal comes in tandem with the iconic series celebrating 30 years since its original launch.

The new Rugrats is based on the original '90s hit, created by Arlene Klasky, Gabor Csupo, and Paul Germain. The reimagined series will return with new episodes in October, including a half-hour Halloween special where Tommy and his friends try to save Angelica after she turns into a werewolf at a scary party and their parents seemingly disappear one by one.

The series stars EG Daily as Tommy, Nancy Cartwright as Chuckie, Cheryl Chase as Angelica, Cree Summer as Susie, and Kath Soucie as Phil and Lil, together with a whole new voice cast featuring the likes of Ashley Rae Spillers, Tommy Dewey, Tony Hale, Natalie Morales, Anna Chlumsky, Timothy Simons, Nicole Byer, Omar Miller, and Michael McKean.

The series is produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio and is overseen by Mollie Freilich, Senior Manager of Current Series Animation at Nickelodeon. Kate Boutilier and Casey Leonard are executive producers alongside co-executive producers Dave Pressler and Rachel Lipman, with Kellie Smith as line producer on season two. Charlie Adler is the voice director.

IGN's review of the Rugrats reboot series premiere concluded that the show makes for suitable family-friendly viewing, with its "fantastical adventures, low-brow silliness, and a sprinkling of observational wit," however, "the CG look feels like a fresh coat of paint intended to make a house blend in on the block instead of standing out."

Netflix has released the first trailer for Escape the Undertaker, an upcoming WWE-themed special that allows viewers to control how the plot unfolds.

The trailer for the choose-your-own-adventure experience sees The New Day's Big E, Xavier Woods, and Kofi Kingston take on a series of supernatural challenges at The Undertaker's mansion, which has been transformed into an extreme haunted house, where viewers are granted the authority to choose the participants fate. Check it out below:

The footage shows Taker unleashing the powers of his urn and warning the wrestling tag team that they must confront their "deepest darkest fears." One clip shows the trio entering the WWE legend's morgue, where Xavier bravely ventures further into the mists of the foggy room whilst audiences at home choose whether to follow him or stay with the others.

Netflix's Escape the Undertaker continues the streaming service's ongoing partnership with WWE. The landing hub for the interactive horror adventure states that it's 31 minutes in length, though it's unclear exactly how many different endings and variants of additional scenes are locked inside that runtime, just waiting to be uncovered.

This isn't the first time that Netflix has offered an interactive title to its subscribers — perhaps one of the most memorable additions to the choose-your-own-adventure genre was Black Mirror's Bandersnatch event. The film, released in 2018, allowed viewers to make choices that would lead them to different stories, with five main endings to unlock.

Escape The Undertaker will be released on Netflix on October 5 as part of this year's Netflix and Chills lineup, which features a skele-ton of hair-raising, door-locking, keep-the-lights-on treats for streamers this coming season. Other notable additions include the final season of Lucifer, the second season of Locke & Key, and Mike Flanagan's Midnight Mass.
