Need for Speed Unbound Driving Effects Revealed in New Gameplay, All Effects Can Be Turned Off

  by   Salman Haider Zaidi  
12:12 pm in News

As promised, Criterion Games and EA have revealed the Need for Speed Unbound driving effects and customization options in a new gameplay video released today. All effects have also been confirmed as entirely optional.

The upcoming Need for Speed Unbound has a heavy graffiti focus, with cel-shaded cartoonish exhaust trails, emotes and animations representing the game’s modern hip-hop aesthetic.

The video goes through the Driving Effects > Tags customization section, showing off what seem to be effect sets that bundle exhaust trails and emotes. Each unique event during a race looks to have a different emote, with a wing-spreading animation shown when a car is airborne.

However, the developers recognise that the effects may not appeal to many old Need for Speed fans, and as such have included the ability for players to turn all effects off or to never enable them at all.

Need for Speed Unbound drives out December 2 on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, with pre-orders starting November 29. You can read about the game’s pre-order and EA Play bonuses as well as the details of the Palace Edition here.

Chivalry 2 Update 1.21 Lances Out for Hotfix 2.6.1 This October 11

  by   Alex Co  
11:36 am in News

Torn Banner Studios has released Chivalry 2 update 1.21 (PS5 version 1.021) that’s for hotfix 2.6.1. This includes a small list of fixes for controllers, as well as an acknowledgment of the issues the dev team is looking into that stemmed from patch 2.6. Read on for the Chivalry 2 October 11 patch notes.

Chivalry 2 Update 1.21 Patch Notes | Chivalry 2 Update 1.021 Patch Notes | Chivalry 2 Hotfix 2.6.1 Patch Notes | Chivalry 2 October 11 Patch Notes:

Here’s the announcement from the studio (note that we’ve included the series of tweets in text form for an easier read):

Today we have released a small hotfix (2.6.1) including:

– Gamepad: allowed counter feints to be performed via L3 or Block followed by the same attack input (same inputs as before 2.6)
– Fixed an issue where textures would be low resolution on PS4 on The Breach of Baudwyn

Counter Feint Changes to Gamepad:
We’ve added in the old method of performing counter feints (performed via L3 or Block followed by the same attack input) as well as kept the new input method so that players may choose between either ways of performing counter feints.

Under investigation: Gameplay Hitching Post-2.6
Reports of gameplay hitching is something we continue to monitor. We appreciate your community reports sent to us over Discord that have been able to help us work towards fully resolving this issue.

That’s about it for this patch. If there are other changes included, we’ll be sure to update the post.

Tribes of Midgard Update 3.02 Brings Valhalloween Event This October 11

  by   Alex Co  
11:00 am in News

Norsfell has rolled out Tribes of Midgard update 3.02 (PS5 version 3.002), which is for the game’s Valhalloween event that kicks off today! This brings new items to earn, quality of life changes and more! Read on for the full Tribes of Midgard October 11 patch notes.

Tribes of Midgard Update 3.02 Patch Notes | Tribes of Midgard Update 3.002 Patch Notes | Tribes of Midgard October 11 Patch Notes:

  • Valhalloween Update – QoL Changes:
    • Construction Limit Gauge
      • To help track the Build Limits within a given World, we’ve added a UI element in Survival that tracks the progress as more Constructions are placed, making it easier to recognize when you’re about to hit the cap.
    • Increased Build Limit
      • We worked hard to optimize the weight of large amounts of Constructions in a single World so that you can build the Viking home you always wanted!
      • We’re continuing to improve this system and monitor how it handles from a technical standpoint out in the wild, but in the meantime we’ve increased the Build Limits on all platforms as such:
        • Quintupled the Build Limit on PC
        • Doubled the Build Limit on all Nintendo Switch as well as all Xbox and PlayStation platforms
    • Storage Chest Sharing
      • Crafting Stations now have a visual radius when interacting or placing them. This radius indicates that the contents of any Storage Chest located within its bounds can be accessed for the purpose of crafting and does not need to be in the Player’s inventory. This should ease up Players’ ability to readily access Materials from any combination of Storage Chests when crafting from nearby stations.
    • Storage Chest Dismantling
      • We recognized that it was a little too easy to have your Storage Chests be dismantled while there was still precious cargo inside, losing it forever. To remedy this, we’ve made it so that you cannot dismantle a Storage Chest until all of its contents have been removed, triggering a warning if you try to do so.
    • Center on Shrine
      • When pressing the Seed of Yggdrasil shortcut on the Map, the cursor now centers on the Shrine instead of the Seed, something very useful to free up fast travel with a controller and a feature requested by the Community.
    • Shop Currency
      • Currency icons have been added to Shop categories to better inform players at a glance (E.G. Gameplay section has a Golden Horn icon)
    • Loading Screen Progress Bar
      • Loading screens now come equipped with a handy little loading bar to help communicate the progress
  • Festive Challenges:
    • During the Valhalloween Event from October 11th to November 1st, there will be 3 Festive Challenges that can only be completed during this limited time event. 
    • Complete these Challenges to earn unique Valhalloween Content
      • Challenge #1: October 11 – October 17: DEFEAT PUMPKIN GOBLINS
        • Reward: Vybyn Portrait
      • Challenge #2: October 18 – October 24: DEFEAT VAL HELTHINGS
        • Reward: Frog Prince Pet 
      • Challenge #3: October 25 – October 31: DEFEAT WEREWOLVES
        • Reward: Frog Prince Portrait
  • New Cosmetic Sets Debuting with Valhalloween Update
    • Wizard Costume: Armor x5 and Equipment x6 
      • Unlocked with Golden Horns in the Shop
    • Goblin Costume: Armor x5 and Equipment x6
      • Unlocked with Platinum Coins in the Shop
    • Geirröðr Set: Armor x5 and Equipment x6
      • Unlocked with Platinum Coins in the Shop
    • Hálogi Set: Armor x5 and Equipment x6
      • Unlocked with Platinum Coins in the Shop
    • Angrboða Set: Armor x5 and Equipment x6
      • Unlocked with Platinum Coins in the Shop
  • New Pets Debuting with Valhalloween Update
    • Frog Prince Pet – Princess Linda’s magical long lost BFF has made his dramatic entrance, and he’s as majestic as we could have hoped for!
      • Unlocked by completing festive Challenge #2 during Valhalloween
    • Vybyn – Goblin spy sent out to steal secrets, or super friendly little buddy who just wants to vibe out with the Einherjar? Either way, he’s cute as Hel. 
      •  Unlocked with Platinum Coins in the Shop
    • Little Geirrö – Before he was a frozen mountain of ice-cold fury, this little ice cube just wanted to be a superhero. Whatever happened, you’re still our hero little Geirrö – stay frosty! 
      •  Unlocked with Platinum Coins in the Shop
    • Little Hálo – Yes, he grew a molten beard that young. Some say it even helped with his cooking! Just watch out for his fiery sneezing.
      •  Unlocked with Platinum Coins in the Shop
    • Little Angr – The little terror of the Nine Realms. Don’t take your eyes off of her for too long, you’ll regret it! 
      •  Unlocked with Platinum Coins in the Shop
  • Valhalloween Update – Bug Fixes:
    • Optimized a number of performance issues caused by having a lot of Constructions active in a single World
    • In our efforts to better optimize mass Constructions, we fixed a number of issues in which people were loading into games and falling through the World
    • Fixed an issue in which Door Constructions’ open/close animations would not always play
    • Fixed an issue with controller placement direction when rotating in Build Mode.
    • Fixed some instances of the ! icon staying indefinitely for new items even after you’ve viewed them.
    • Fixed an issue in which you could not place the Allforge once you’ve reached the Construction cap. You can now place the Allforge regardless of the cap.
    • Fixed an issue in which the Bow Firing animations would stagger if the player was moving forward while shooting.
    • Fixed a rare issue in which Players would return to the Sanctuary when emerging from an Underpass or Hideout

Realm Royale Update 1.49 Out for Fall Mystery Patch This October 11

  by   Damien Seeto  
7:46 am in News

Hi-Rez Studios has released Realm Royale update 1.49 today for all platforms. Today’s update gets the game ready for the huge Fall Mystery patch with lots of new content. Check out the Realm Royale October 11 patch notes below.

Realm Royale Update 1.49 Patch Notes | Realm Royale October 11 Patch Notes:

Mastery System Update

Each Class now has a progress track based on experience gained while playing matches with them. Along the way you’ll earn prizes, with the very end being a mastery skin, to show off how awesome you are. We also made it so that all your previous progress with these classes was transferred over to the new track, and once you play through a match with each of them, you’ll be given the prizes you would have earned had you started from Level 0.

Quality of Life Changes

  • Common Auto Sniper removed from loot pool (intended in patch 1.5 hotfix, was bugged previously).
  • Circle sizes and timing adjusted to allow more time and possible positions for the end match circles.
  • Health and Armor pot carry limit increased from 10/10 to 15/15
  • Forge UI will show the option selected in your pre-game loadout

Neutral Changes

  • Gatekeeper damage decreased from 60 to 55.
  • Shotgun falloff and damage curves changed for damage consistency and to allow shooting multiple grouped targets. Damage reduced from 720/800/850/950 to 680/740/800/870.
  • Auto Sniper damage increased from 560/640/720/800 to -/660/740/820 (intended in patch 1.5 hotfix, was bugged previously).
  • SMG accuracy normalized. Common was bugged with different accuracy than other rare/epic/legendary.
  • Fortification no longer slows the player while in use, and the bug that allows a player’s left foot to be shot while using fortification is fixed.

Class Changes

Hunter

  • Longbow projectile size decreased by 10%
  • Crossbow ammo increased from 10 to 12 (intended in patch 1.5 hotfix, was bugged previously).
  • Proximity Trap cooldown decreased from 22/21/19/17 to 20/19/17/15, effect radius increased from 12.2m to 13.7m, and damage increased from 200/250/300/350 to 250/300/350/400

Assassin

  • Sniper Rifle hip-fire accuracy reduced from 65% to 55%

Warrior

  • New Weapon: Javelin. This mid to long range weapon is a charged throw which does more damage based on the time charged and the distance traveled.
  • Base Damage: 620/830/960
  • Range based damage increase: Begins increasing in damage after 30m, and reaches the maximum 50% increase at 140m. Damage bonus curve is exponential to minimize the increase in shorter range fights.
  • Projectile Speed: 900
  • Full Draw Time: 1.2s
  • Throwing Axe: Equip time increased from 0.9 to 1.0
  • Net Shot: Damage decreased from 250/300/350/400 to 200/250/300/350

Mage

  • Fire Staff effect/effective radius changed from 4/2 to 4/4 to increase damage consistency
  • Ice Staff ammo increased from 6 to 7 (intended in patch 1.5 hotfix, was bugged previously), headshot multiplier increased from 30% to 35%, and damage per bullet increased from 180/240/280 to 180/250/290
  • Soar duration normalized to 4s, and speed is changed from a fixed 44 feet per second to a scaling speed of 44/48/52/56

Battlefield 2042 The Liquidators Event Temporarily Disabled by DICE Due to Progression Issue (Update)

  by   Alex Co  
4:52 am in News

With today’s Battlefield 2042 patch, DICE is also introducing The Liquidators event into the game where players can earn new cosmetic items and rewards. Unfortunately, it seems things haven’t gone exactly as planned, as the studio has announced that it has disabled the Battlefield 2042 The Liquidators event temporarily.

Update: DICE has announced that the event is now live! 

According to the official Battlefield Direct Communications Twitter account, DICE is disabling the event due to rewards and progress are not tracking properly. Once the event is back on, they’ll let the players know.

We are temporarily disabling the The Liquidators Mid-Season Event.

We’re seeing that the Unlock Rewards and Progress for the Event are not tracking correctly, and cannot be equipped when showing as Unlocked.

We’ll follow-up once we’re ready to turn the Event back on.

As the first mid-season event of the game, this is definitely not a good look for the studio (and the title). If you’re curious what the rewards and challenges are in the event, head on over here. At the very least, players have the weekly challenges to look forward to later today, so there’s at least that, no? Once the event has been restored, we’ll update the article accordingly.

Battlefield 2042 Update 1.000.023 Deployed for Version 2.1.1 This Oct. 11

  by   Alex Co  
4:14 am in News

Battlefield 2042 update 1.000.023 has been deployed by DICE on all platforms, and this is for patch version 2.1.1! Expect weapon adjustments, alongside The Liquidators event to be rolled out. Read on for the BF2042 update 2.1.1 patch notes.

Battlefield 2042 Update 1.000.023 Patch Notes | BF2042 Update 2.1.1 Patch Notes:

Size: 1.063MB

The main focus of this smaller Quality of Life Update is to improve gunplay. Included are several weapon balance changes and bug fixes to ensure a consistent gameplay experience between our weapon offerings:

  • The M16A3 and M60E4 now have correct recoil reduction on Consoles to ensure their performance is consistent across all platforms
  • The M16A3 and M60E4 have received balance changes to improve their performance
  • The Avancys, K30 and MP9 have received balance changes to reduce their performance
  • We have resolved an issue that was preventing some players from being able to Aim Down Sights (ADS) after exiting a vehicle
  • A hit registration issue has been resolved which could occur when using a controller and firing weapons over a sustained period

General

  • Setting Mouse Raw Input to Off in Settings will no longer disable mouse movement in-game

Maps

  • Renewal – It was sometimes possible to deploy under the map in the first sector of the US HQ. This no longer happens
  • Renewal – Fixed several areas on Conquest 64 that would incorrectly flag you as Out of Bounds

Weapons

  • Firing continuously with weapons while using a controller would sometimes desync recoil between the client and the server. As a result, shots missed their target when they should have hit. This has been resolved
  • The AC-42 sights are once again useable after equipping the UH-1 Smart 1.5x Scope in the default slot
  • Fixed an issue where the mesh of the UH-1 Smart 1.5x Scope was missing from the AC-42
  • Vault Weapons now properly apply recoil reduction when playing on Console
  • The range of weapon draw speed for Vault Weapons now matches those of All-Out Warfare weaponry
  • Fixed an issue where users cannot ADS after exiting a moving vehicle if the equipped weapon has an underbarrel attachment equipped
    • This bug reappeared after we previously rolled out a fix. Please let us know if you continue to experience it after this update
  • The M16A3 now has the correct Headshot Multiplier for Assault Rifles (2.15x)

Avancys
The Avancys was highly accurate, and coupled with its large magazine size meant it was too powerful during sustained fire. We have reduced its accuracy to compensate.

  • Base Recoil increased 0.32 -> 0.36
  • Dispersion Per Shot increased 0.03 -> 0.06

K30
The K30 is intended to be a close range SMG, and was too accurate at medium distance. Its accuracy at range has therefore been decreased.

  • Min Dispersion Angle increased 0.15 -> 0.18
  • Dispersion Per Shot increased 0.09 -> 0.15
  • Dispersion Decrease Rate reduced 20 -> 4

MP9
The MP9 is also intended to be a close range SMG, and similar to the K30 received an accuracy penalty to reduce its effectiveness at medium distances.

  • Dispersion Per Shot increased 0.06 -> 0.11
  • Min Dispersion Angle increased 0.14 -> 0.17

M16A3
The M16A3 did not match the performance of other Assault Rifles. To compensate we have reduced its recoil and improved its accuracy during sustained fire.

  • Base Recoil reduced 0.44 -> 0.36
  • First Shot Recoil Multiplier reduced 1.45 -> 1.15
  • Dispersion Per Shot on ADS reduced  0.13 -> 0.1

M60E4
The M60E4 did not match the performance of other LMGs. To compensate we have reduced its recoil and improved its accuracy during sustained fire.

  • Base Recoil reduced 0.6 -> 0.54
  • Dispersion per Shot on ADS reduced 022 -> 0.17
  • Reduced Stepped Recoil Multiplier from 6 bullets to 4
  • Damage Increased on all ranges

Battle.net Down, Blizzard Confirms DDoS Attack Happening This October 11 (Update)

  by   Alex Co  
12:31 am in News

Oh, man! It seems Blizzard Entertainment cannot catch a break! For those having issues logging in to Battle,net or find that Blizzard games are having issues running and you’re seeing Battle.net down reports surface this October 11, it’s due to another DDoS attack!

Battle.net Down Server Status and Updates for October 11:

Update: Blizzard says the DDoS attacks they are monitoring has ended!

Here’s the announcement from Blizzard:

[#BNet] We are currently experiencing a DDoS attack, which may result in high latency and disconnections for some players. We are actively working to mitigate this issue.

Not sure what a DDoS (distributed denial of service) act is? Here’s an explanation via Cloudflare:

A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the normal traffic of a targeted server, service or network by overwhelming the target or its surrounding infrastructure with a flood of Internet traffic.

DDoS attacks achieve effectiveness by utilizing multiple compromised computer systems as sources of attack traffic. Exploited machines can include computers and other networked resources such as IoT devices.

From a high level, a DDoS attack is like an unexpected traffic jam clogging up the highway, preventing regular traffic from arriving at its destination.

Note that this outage will affect Overwatch 2, Diablo 2 Resurrected, World of Warcraft, and basically any other game that requires Battle.net to launch. We’ll be updating the post as more news becomes available or when the service is back up. so sit tight.

If you were just kicked from your online match, or were hoping to get some late night playtime with Overwatch 2, we got some bad news for you as the servers have been taken offline.

Update (Oct. 13): If you’re seeing this pop up on, check out the latest server developments on Overwatch 2 this October 13 right here.

Here’s the announcement from the studio:

We are currently performing emergency maintenance for the next hour. During this time, the game will be unavailable for play.

Bummer! We hope this downtime isn’t too long, though we wouldn’t be against it if it meant it came with a patch that addresses a number of ongoing issues, including the Xbox achievement crashes, and more. Guess we’ll find out soon! We’ll be sure to keep you updated once the servers go up, or should there be any unexpected extended downtime.

Microsoft Launches New Bing Feature Making Xbox Cloud Gaming Supported Titles Playable via Search

  by   Alex Co  
7:44 pm in News

For those who use Bing as their preferred search engine of choice, Microsoft has launched a new feature wherein if you search for a game that’s supported by Xbox Cloud Gaming, you’ll see a “Play” button appear that lets you launch the game and play it on your web browser! Talk about synergy, right?

This shows up for Xbox Cloud Gaming supported titles. Here’s what it’ll look like if you search for “Forza Horizon 5” on Bing:

Note that this doesn’t seem to be available worldwide just yet, it seems. Hitting play will direct you to the Xbox Cloud site, which will then let you launch the game. For Forza Horizon 5, clicking play will lead you here. You can even see that the url for Forza even shows a “Bing” indicator stating that you came from Bing. 

This is a nifty feature, which might increase engagements on some of the Xbox Cloud Gaming titles. Originally called Project xCloud, Xbox Cloud Gaming was launched in 2020, and is part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate as a free feature for subscribers.

Thanks, Klobrille!
