Overwatch Update 3.17 Out This September 7 for Custom Game Browser & More

  by   Alex Co  
4:13 pm in News

Blizzard Entertainment has released the Overwatch update 3.17 September 7 patch, and this adds a custom game browser feature, hero bug fixes and more.

Overwatch Update 3.17 Patch Notes:

Feature Update: Custom Browser – Quality of Life Improvements

New Features
New Custom Game Browser tabs

  • Popular
  • Favorites
  • Recent
  • All Games
    New Custom Game setting
  • Mode Name

Previously, it was difficult for players to keep track of the ever-growing collection of player-created game modes. The Custom Game Browser’s new tabs give these modes a chance to shine. The Popular tab shows off some of the most-played modes as well as modes that have started to trend. The Favorites tab lets you build a personal collection of modes – just select the star icon next to any mode you’d like to see in this list. The Recent tab shows modes that you have recently played. Finally, the All Games tab gives you the standard, familiar list of lobbies. We’ve also added the ability to search for lobbies by share code.

In order to help identify modes, we’ve added a new Mode Name setting right above the Description in Custom Game Settings. This Mode Name will be used to represent modes in the Custom Game Browser tabs. Creators are encouraged to reupload their modes with Mode Name filled out. (If it isn’t filled out, the share code itself is displayed instead.)

Since these new features are being used by the public for the first time, we may need to make adjustments to how the Popular tab chooses its modes. If you notice that the Popular tab isn’t showing the modes that you might expect, please be patient with us as we tune the feature to present the best collection of modes that we can.

We’re excited about the possibilities these new features will bring to Custom Games, and we’ll be watching and listening to your feedback to improve the Custom Game Browser experience.

COMPETITIVE: 3V3 LOCKOUT ELIMINATION – SEASON 4

Season 4 of Competitive 3v3 Lockout Elimination has begun!

  • Fixed a bug that caused the “We need a healer” ping message to appear in a role queue match despite having two healers on the team
  • Fixed a bug with the custom game browser that prevented Game Mode options from being selected when using a controller
  • Fixed a bug with the career profile that showed competitive CTF seasons in the incorrect order on the stats tab

MAPS

  • Fixed a bug with the cow sign that caused the fork to not be attached properly
    Lijiang Tower
  • Fixed a bug on the Control Center map that allowed players to use Junkrat’s Riptire to clip through map geometry and reveal an enemy team’s positioning
    Temple of Anubis
  • Fixed a bug that allowed Junkrat to use his Riptire ultimate underneath map terrain

HEROES

Doomfist

  • Fixed a bug where Rocket Punch would sometimes not play impact effects or animations when hitting a wall

Mei

  • Fixed a bug with her Kneel emote that caused her eyes to not animate properly

Reaper

  • Fixed a bug that caused some of an enemy Reaper’s visual effects to display as friendly instead of hostile when on low damage effects settings

Soldier: 76

  • Fixed a bug that caused his “Show Some Respect” voice line to not play properly if the Grillmaster skin was equipped

  • Fixed a bug that caused the player camera to briefly appear in unplayable space when traveling through her teleporter

COD Vanguard FOV Slider Confirmed for Consoles; Akimbo, Riot Shields & Bayonet Charge Confirmed Too

  by   MP1st Staff  
2:51 pm in News

There were quite a few surprises in store for hardcore Call of Duty fans today as the multiplayer reveal livestream finally concluded. The stream debuted some interesting facts about gameplay features coming to the game, but one of the most eye-catching is confirmation of the COD Vanguard FOV (field of view) slider for consoles, an in-game setting that was only previously available on PC.

Given how Vanguard is using the Modern Warfare 2019 game engine that didn’t allow for an FOV slider, this is a bit of a surprise.

COD Vanguard FOV

This neat tidbit was recently confirmed by Sledgehammer Senior Development Director Adam Iscove on  Twitter, where he showed an in-game screenshot from the PlayStation version of the game. It shows the field of view slider maxed out at 120.00, and beside it a comparison of what to expect from different FOVs. The FOV slider for consoles should be available at launch, but not in the beta.

Besides this fact, a quick read over on the official FAQ page for COD Vanguard multiplayer also revealed returning close-quarter weapons for the game, for players who love to get up close and personal. Check out the quote below:

Those who would rather bring a knife to a gunfight should know that Riot Shields are returning in addition to two melee options: a standard-issue knife at launch and a bayonet charge for weapons that can equip this underbarrel blade. And to counter those hand-to-hand combat fiends, Akimbo will return for select weapons, making for a high-powered, yet less accurate, close-quarters option.

Yep, the Akimbo is back. Great news for fans of dual wielding, though I gather those annoyed by akimbo shotgun users won’t be as happy (if it’s available to use dual wield for shotties).

Call of Duty: Vanguard is set to be released on November 5, 2021 for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. You can check more information on the multiplayer beta details here.

The Sims 4 Update 1.47 Refreshes and Relaxes This September 7

  by   MP1st Staff  
1:34 pm in News

Maxis has released The Sims 4 update 1.47, and it says greetings to self-care and bettering yourself. We have Spa Day updates, new Aspirations, new trait, and of course, bug fixes all around. Rea more below for the complete patch notes:

The Sims 4 Update 1.47 Patch Notes:

Hello Simmers!

We hope you are well wherever you are in the World.

Today, we have a special kind of update! As you now know, this is our first update that fully focuses on a previously released pack, giving it new life if you will. Today is the day for self-care for and with The Sims™ 4 Spa Day!

Spa Day is all about relaxation and getting some well-deserved personal Sim time and wellness. With this update, we are adding some features that will help enhance this wellness experience that we hope you enjoy.

Along with these enhancements, we were also able to fix a few issues that were live and needed some care.

Thanks again for your continued support and feedback!

Chaus!

-SimGuruRusskii

What’s New?

Spa Day Updates

Everyone deserves more time to refresh and more ways to renew! In this update, we added the following:

Three new Aspirations and a new Trait

The path to wellness is long but well worth it! Sims can now opt for three aspirational paths to achieve their own Zen:

  • Self-Care Specialists – For those Sims who would like to monetize their love of fitness and wellness.
  • Inner Peace – For the Sims that want to achieve ultimate harmony and learning tools to mitigate their negative emotions.
  • Zen Guru – For the Sims that want to share the power of wellness with the world…the whole world, for real. They also focus on seeking to train their successor to pass the knowledge along.

In addition to these new Aspirations, we added a new trait for those Sims that require a bit of extra work to keep their needs… properly aligned. High Maintenance will allow your Sims to experience mindful tasks that can help their sense of wellbeing. No trouble is trivial, no need is too much.

You can find these new Aspirations and the new Trait in Create A Sim. And don’t forget the Spa Membership included with these Aspirations – it’s a steal!

Manicures and Pedicures

Some people like having a massage to decompress – a valid option… pretty sure I need one –  but my favorite thing is manicures and pedicures! Hear me out! There is something so relaxing about choosing your design, color, shape, and having someone prettify (yes, it is a word… to me) your nails with the utmost care. Now your Sims can get these nail enhancements or graciously give them to other Sims. You can choose a design, a shape, and voilà! Your Sims’ nails will be as fabulous as they feel!

And if you don’t want to get your nails done by a professional- tight budget, totally get it – Sims will have access to the same options in Create A Sim that you can instantly apply to your Sims nails – it’s like insta nails!! You can pick from a variety of swatches with color combinations, designs, or just a solid color for each fingernail. You can also choose a variety of one solid color choices for your Toenails. You can find them in the Accessories category in Create A Sim, where you will see a Fingernails and Toenails sort with the options.

We want to highlight that in this upgrade to Spa Day we have a design from the wonderful  Ebonix that is featured in Create A Sim! Ebonix is a super talented Sims Creator, and we are happy we can feature one of her designs and share it with everyone.

The Sims 4 Update 1.47

About Yoga and Meditation

Yoga Classes can now take place outside of Spas and Gyms! You can hire a yoga instructor or teach your own class from the Instructor Yoga Mat. Speaking of teaching, Sims can also lead Guided Meditation sessions from Meditation Stools. Oh, and I don’t want to forget to mention that Children are able to practice and teach both Yoga and Meditation as well!

New Objects, Facial Masks… Oh my!

As part of this update, we also added a few new objects and swatches in Build Mode, these include a new luxurious massage table and a massage chair that can also be used for manicures and pedicures for a full relaxation experience. And as an added bonus, there is a new portable massage chair and table, so your Sims can give massages, manicures, and pedicures on the go to earn some Simoleons.

Besides these, we added as part of your Sims’ self-care routine the ability to purchase and apply Facial Masks. They come in a variety of benefits and designs; for ease of access, we recommend having in your preferred lot the Doc Sweet’s Luke-Warm Mini Dispenser. This mini version of the original refrigerator can hold your favorite beverages in a compact space, but as an added benefit, Sims can purchase Facial Masks from it. By the way, don’t forget to try the new Cucumber Power-Sip and cucumber slices for a tasty snack! Also available with this update.

Base Game Updates

For those who don’t own Spa Day, we wanted to give you a treat as well. For Base Game Simmers we added the nail options for fingernails and toenails in Create A Sim for you to enjoy. Same as mentioned previously, there will be choices under the Fingernails and Toenails sort in Create A Sim, there will be a variety of solid one-color nails and color combination nails available for the Base Game itself.

Bug Fixes

Console

  • We fixed an issue in which some of the controls when players are in the Game Options menus were a little off, it should work correctly now.

The Sims 4

  • New games should no longer experience the automatic generation of empty households, and the ensuing save size increase and performance lag that this causes. The team is still investigating how to safely fix existing saves that have this issue.
  • We fixed an issue that affected Custom Content Chairs that when slotted with certain objects it created Sims routing issues.
  • Sometimes, in certain saves, Sims would lose their names when visiting some Lots – most notoriously the Goth’s Lot but it could happen anywhere. If a Sim has no name… does that Sim exist? I can assure you that the Goths were not involved, but this issue should no longer occur.
  • Ever had the need to order food or drinks but you just couldn’t be bothered? Been there, however the issue of Sims and NPCs not being able to order food and drinks autonomously has been fixed. Order away!
  • Have you noticed that your Sims had been doing Fitness things or Dancing if they Disliked those things? Strange no? It should no longer happen as long as they continue to Dislike them of course. As a note, unfortunately (for those affected), Sims are subject to choose music they Dislike still from any stereo so they can still torment other Sims (and Simmers) around them.
  • We fixed an issue in which the Mega Window (Double Budget Grand Deluxe DeLite) in build Mode was missing a few swatches and displayed them as empty.
  • Let’s talk about Unibrows! Are they in? Are they out? No matter, every brow is welcome! We have fixed an issue that didn’t make the thicker unibrow available for female frame Sims and that didn’t make the thinner unibrow available for male frame Sims. So all the unibrows for both frames!
  • Did you ever notice an invisible slot under the All of the Things table? We sure did, and while I think that if it is called “all of the things” it could have all the things, everywhere… I guess? This was not acceptable so we fixed that.

Get to Work

  • The hairstyle yfHair_EP01TwistLow has been tagged correctly in the Updo Hairstyle category. Is it still an Updo even if the bun is low and not up high? These are the questions I ponder sometimes.

Eco Lifestyle

  • If you noticed the Community Voting Board missing from venues across packs in Build Mode, never fear. It has been found and should be safely back in Build Mode.

Dream Home Decorator

  • Ever had such good-looking décor that you can’t just sleep because you have to look at it? As much as we want your Sims to love their décor and their style, we thought it was a bit too much that they would not sleep and just look at it, so this should no longer happen.

That’s about it for this patch.

Dead by Daylight Update 2.29 Rolled Out for 5.2.0 Hellraiser Patch This Sept. 7

  by   Alex Co  
12:05 pm in News

Behaviour Interactive has released the Dead by Daylight update 2.29 patch today, or what the studio calls update 5.2.0! This enables skill-based matchmaking (SBMM), and includes The Cenobite from the Hellraiser movie franchise into the game.

Dead by Daylight Update 2.29 Patch Notes: | Dead by Daylight Update 5.2.0 Patch Notes: | Dead by Daylight Hellraiser Patch Notes:

Features

  • Added an new Killer – The Cenobite
  • Match Results – When players leave a Trial with a Limited Item (Example: The Nemesis’s Vaccine) they will now be notified that they do not get to keep it. It has been consumed by The Entity.
  • Large Text Settings – The players can enable this option to enlarge all texts in the HUD, increasing readability.
  • Skill Based Matchmaking will be enabled separately on September 8th at 11:00AM EDT.
  • Visual Update of the Pallet

Grades and Grade Rewards

  • Grades are replacing Ranks
  • Grades are broken up into five groupings: Ash, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Iridescent
  • Each grouping has four sub-groupings: IV, III, II, I
  • Current Ranks will be translated into their corresponding Grade
  • Rank 20 = Ash IV, Rank 19 = Ash III, Rank 18 = Ash II, Rank 17 = Ash I, Rank 16 = Bronze IV, etc.
  • Grade Resets will happen on the 13th of each month, and all players will be reset to Ash IV for both Killer and Survivor, regardless of their previous Grade
  • Bloodpoint rewards are given out when the reset occurs, based on your previous Grade
  • It is no longer possible to lose enough pips to lose a Grade

Content

The Nemesis Update:

  • Movement speed while charging Tentacle Strike Tier 3 increased to 4.0m/s (was 3.8m/s)
  • Shattered S.T.A.R.S. Badge effect duration increased to 60 seconds (was 30 seconds)
  • Iridescent Umbrella Badge effect duration increased to 30 seconds (was 15 seconds, but was erroneously displayed as 12 seconds)
  • Ritual of The Nemesis reduced to reaching maximum Mutation Rate one time (was 4)

Miscellaneous:

  • Various bug fixes and improvements to address performance issues on the Family Residence, Sanctum of Wrath and Midwich Elementary School.
  • Blood Lodge and The Game maps are re-enabled
  • Updated a variety of survivors hair and facial hair cosmetics.

Dev note: The Nemesis came out in a good state, but has been underperforming slightly in higher skill brackets. These players tend to hit Mutation Rate 3 more often, so a buff here should give him a slight boost at that level of play. Additionally, we have buffed two addons that were underperforming to make them more viable, and made the associated ritual less of a pain to complete.

Alan Wake Remastered Officially Announced, Out This Fall & Will Include Updated Visuals

  by   Alex Co  
9:17 am in News

It seems another retailer did out a game’s existence before its official announcement, as Remedy has today confirmed that Alan Wake Remastered is indeed a reality! It’s set for release this fall for the PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and on PC via Epic Games Store (Epic Games will be publishing the title).

The announcement was made on The Sudden Stop website that focuses on projects by Remedy Entertainment. Remedy has shared that the project is “nearing its completion,” and that it will include updated visuals.

Here’s an excerpt from the announcement by Sam Lake, Creative Director of Remedy:

The original game was only available for Xbox 360 and a few years later, PC. We are thrilled about the opportunity to bring the remastered version out for a new generation of platforms. I am excited to hear what you think about Alan Wake.

Alan Wake Remastered is the original experience you fell in love with all those years ago. We did not want to change that. But the visuals all around, including the character model of Alan Wake himself and the cinematics, have been updated and improved with some choice next-generation upgrades.

Alan Wake Remastered will launch this fall. Stay tuned for more information soon.

This is for you. I hope you enjoy it, either again, like meeting an old friend, or for the first time.

Yours,

Sam Lake, Creative Director, Remedy Entertainment

As someone who loved the original back then, I am excited to go back to Bright Falls once more. Hopefully, this paves the way for a sequel down the road.

Hell Let Loose PS5 Open Beta and Xbox Series X Pre-Order Bonuses Announced

  by   MP1st Staff  
9:00 am in News

With Hell Let Loose now officially confirmed for new-gen consoles, publisher Team17 and developer Black Matter has also provided important information on the game before its official release. The Hell Let Loose PS5 open beta and Xbox Series X pre-order bonuses were announced, and it’s important to note some distinctions between the two consoles:

  • Only the PS5 version of Hell Let Loose will have a beta, scheduled to run between September 16 to 20. It will be an open beta.
  • Pre-orders for the Xbox Series console version of Hell Let Loose will be live at September 7, from 1:00 PM EST onwards. It will include pre-order bonuses.

If you’re wondering what to expect from the PS5 open beta for Hell Let Loose, a press release provided by Team17 states the following:

The PlayStation 5 open beta will provide a brutal taste of war, as both sides fight for victory on the Hurtgen Forest map in Warfare mode, which sees each side begin the battle occupying half of the map. From there, they’ll have to push the opposition back and secure enemy territory for themselves until they reach their base, or hold the most ground until the timer runs out. At launch, Warfare will be joined by Offensive mode where one side plays the role of attacker and the other acts as defender, while Hurtgen Forest will be joined by maps set across the Western Front, from the windswept sands of Utah and Omaha beaches to the brutal house-to-house, street-to-street urban fighting across Carentan.

As for pre-order bonuses for the Xbox Series version of Hell Let Loose, check them out below:

Those who preorder Hell Let Loose on Xbox Series X|S will receive The Silver Vanguard cosmetic downloadable content. The Eastern Front maps of Stalingrad and Kursk, together with the Soviet forces, which are currently available to play in the PC version, will be introduced to the console versions as part of a free, post-launch update this winter.

Hell Let Loose is arriving on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles this October 5. The game is now available on PC via Steam.

We will update this post accordingly if the Xbox Series pre-order details, including bonuses, are the same for the PS5 version.

  • Playing a Part: Fourteen roles are available for players to experience, from engineers and snipers, commanders and tank crewmen, medics and support; all play a part in the war effort.

COD Vanguard Multiplayer Gameplay Leaks Before the Offiical Reveal

  by   Alex Co  
8:00 am in News

We honestly shouldn’t be surprised by now whenever something Call of Duty-related leaks, as it happens ever year. While the COD Vanguard multiplayer reveal is a few hours away, Vanguard multiplayer gameplay has leaked! There are two clips, with one over 12 minutes long.

Vanguard gameplay from CODHOPE on Vimeo.

https://streamable.com/pa0nt4

We can see the movement, and how it’s similar to Modern Warfare 2019, which isn’t a surprise given they both use the same engine. We also see the loadouts menu, which again, might seem familiar to Call of Duty players.

If you don’t care much for the quality, remember that the offical reveal will start at 1PM ET/10AM PT/1AM HKT, and will run for about 30 minutes. After that, expect content creators to roll out beta gameplay footage. We’ll compile some later today to feature some of the good ones that showcase the gameplay in full.

Speaking of the beta, the Early Access beta will be happening this weekend, and MP1st will be giving away a lot of codes! Stay tuned on the site to know more about.

Thanks, aju123!
