Star Citizen will be free to play from November 23rd to November 30th

Star Citizen Alpha 3.3.5 includes numerous features launched in Alpha 3.3 including:

• Object Container Streaming, a processing tool that controls how much of the game’s massive universe must be loaded by player’s CPU. Object Container Streaming is an important behind-the-scenes technical milestone that enables the rapid creation of future content and locations, including the Planet Hurston and its main city, Lorville. Object Container Streaming has led to massive performance gains, which can be seen on the newly launched Star Citizen Telemetry page.
• ‘Face and Voice over IP’ allows players to connect their webcams and control their in-game character’s facial expressions with their own, creating a new level of immersion never before seen in video games.
• FPS AI Enemies and Missions to populate the universe with NPC enemies to hunt or be hunted by.
• ‘Scramble Race’ Missions for players to compete across Star Citizen’s massive planetary bodies.

Reshade 4.0 is now available for download, features rewritten ReShade FX compiler from ground up

Crosire has released a brand new version of Reshade, Reshade 4.0. For Reshade 4.0, Crosire rewrote ReShade FX compiler from the ground up to generate SSA code making it fully standalone, blazing fast, and featuring much better error recovery.
What’s really cool here though is that this compiler paves the future for Vulkan support (so hopefully we’ll also get support for DX12?).
Those interested can download Reshade 4.0 from here and below you can find its complete changelog.

Reshade 4.0 Release Notes
Changelog

• Added error for array declarations without a size
• Added error when attempting to cast arrays
• Added variable name to error messages referring to variables
