TPXO8-atlas is a first one from new generation atlas solution. Like older ATLAS solutions it combines a basic global solution (TPXO8, obtained at 1/6 resolution) and high resolution (HR) local solutions. Unlike all previous ATLAS solutions it keeps resolution of HR solutions rather then averaging them on coarser grid. This provides dramatic improvement in tidal predictions for coastal areas. For user convenience we provide TPXO8-atlas in several formats:

1. our traditional binary format (OTPS format);
2. netcdf format;
3. atlas-compact format;
Due to HR the files are large, thus we provide one tidal constituent/file for first 2 formats. Atlas-compact format contains all constituents, but at various resolution (i.e. 1/30 resolution where the patches are, and 1/6 resolution for the rest of the Ocean). Atlas-compact is readable by next version of OTPS (OTPS2) to provide extraction of harmonic constants/tide prediction at any location. OTPS2 is functionally the same as OTPS and works for any our model plus it also is applicable for the Atlas-compact.

NEW! OTPS2 now provides functionality for extracting a local tidal solution (bathymetry, elevations and transports) from TPXO8-atlas-compact for any given rectangular area and outputting the solution in the regular OTIS binary format at 1/30 degree resolution. Thus a user has the option to deal with an area of interest only in a simpler uniform grid format.

IMPORTANT! You have to download the newest version of TPXO8-atlas-compact for this new feature to work properly. TPXO8-atlas-compact versions download before April 2, 2014 will not work with this new feature.

Alan Wake Remastered Update V34885-codex -

To understand why this update is important, we have to look at the complexity of remastering a game from 2010. The Remastered version swapped out the old proprietary engine tools for newer lighting systems.

Update v34885 specifically helps with:

Alan Wake’s themes of creation and authorial responsibility map onto the ethics of resurrecting content via patches. Restoring deleted scenes can be an act of homage or a violation—depending on intent and context. v34885-CODEX raises questions: Alan Wake Remastered Update v34885-CODEX

The update thus functions as both instrument and test: it can heal narrative wounds or exacerbate dissonance.

For those looking to update their existing installation: To understand why this update is important, we

It is impossible to discuss this specific version string without addressing the "CODEX" label. In the PC gaming community, CODEX is a well-known group that specializes in bypassing digital rights management (DRM) software.

When you see "Update v34885-CODEX," it refers to a cracked version of the official patch. This allows users playing pirated versions of the game to update their files to the latest official build without connecting to official servers (like Steam or the Epic Games Store). The update thus functions as both instrument and

Why does this matter to the average gamer? If you own a legitimate copy of Alan Wake Remastered on Steam or the Epic Games Store, you likely received this update automatically through the platform's patching system. You don't need to look for a "CODEX" file; your game is already up to date if you are connected to the internet. The v34885 build is simply the latest official iteration of the game code.

To understand the value of v34885, we tested the game on a mid-range system (RTX 3060, i5-12400F, 16GB RAM) at 1440p with DLSS on Quality.

The improvement in 1% low FPS is the headline here. The game no longer feels "jerky" when turning the camera toward the forest. The flashlight beam, which previously caused FPS drops, is now fluid.
