Long-Awaited Minecraft-Like MMO Hytale Launches in Early Access and Seemingly Registers Big Player Numbers Right Away

Hytale is now available in early access after its creator reacquired the rights from Riot Games. Players can purchase the game from the official website with three options: Standard (), Supporter (), and Cursebreaker (9). The game has reportedly seen a high rate of new players, although initial claims of 2.8 million users were debunked due to server issues. The development team revitalized a dormant build in eight weeks, addressing core systems and bugs. Exploration Mode features an infinite, procedurally generated world with biomes, structures, and creatures, allowing players to explore, craft, and engage in multiplayer experiences. Creative Mode offers building tools and specialized entity tools. Modding support is available from day one, with partnerships for robust content creation. Hytale supports multiplayer across all modes and plans to introduce Adventure Mode, official Minigames, and social features. There are future plans for console launches and consideration of a mobile version.

Facing trouble logging into X? You’re not alone

X users are experiencing login issues due to a verification loop affecting both app and website access. A YubiKey re-enrollment is required by November 10, which is causing access problems for some users. Despite these issues, most users remain unaffected, and X engineers are working to restore service. Reports indicate a spike in login issues around 1:30 PM ET, particularly in the US and Canada. Users have encountered difficulties with account verification processes, including receiving or accepting verification codes. The ongoing transition to a new domain may be contributing to complications with two-factor authentication.

Windows 11 update breaks Advanced Startup, disables keyboard and mouse

Users are experiencing issues accessing BIOS and Safe Mode after installing the October 2025 update KB5066835, which has rendered input devices like keyboards and mice non-functional during the Advanced Startup environment. Complaints indicate that the update has disrupted essential functionalities, including IIS and localhost. Users have attempted various solutions, such as changing USB ports and disabling fast startup, but these have not resolved the issue. Some users reported success by replacing the problematic Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) image file with an older version. A workaround to access Safe Mode involves creating a Windows 11 installation USB, booting from it, and using Command Prompt to set the system to boot into Safe Mode. The issue appears to affect systems with USB 3.0-only ports, while some laptops retain functionality with built-in keyboards. Microsoft has not yet acknowledged the problem, but a resolution is expected soon.

EA’s own launcher is making Battlefield 6 unplayable by telling users they’re ‘missing content’ or must ‘purchase to play’ what they’ve already bought

Electronic Arts (EA) is working on a resolution for an issue affecting users of the EA App, which has prevented many from accessing game modes in Battlefield 6 due to missing downloadable content (DLC) or content-related errors. EA anticipates that the fix will be deployed within the next hour, and players will need to restart the game to see the changes. Many players who purchased Battlefield 6 through the EA app faced issues where they were told they were "missing" essential content or required to "purchase to play." EA has acknowledged the issue and is investigating it. Some users have found a workaround by refunding their EA purchase and buying the game through Steam, allowing them to play successfully.

How to fix the Blue Protocol server list error

The "failed to retrieve server list" error in Blue Protocol Star Resonance may be due to the game being region-locked, meaning your country might not be included in the list of release regions. This issue arises even during the game's "global" launch, as several countries were excluded. Using a VPN can help bypass this restriction by masking your IP address to appear as if you are connecting from a supported location. If you are in a supported region but still encounter the error, check if you are connected to a VPN, as it may be causing the problem.

Love Windows, hate the rules? Try this Linux distro instead.

Microsoft's end of support for Windows 10 is set for October 14, 2025. Windows 11's market share has decreased by 4% to 49.08%, while Windows 10's market share has increased by 2.65% to 45.53%. Microsoft has introduced the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for users wishing to continue using Windows 10 after support ends. Users have reported access issues but Microsoft assures enrollment will be available before the end date. Windows 11 has struggled with adoption due to strict system requirements and design flaws, prompting aggressive marketing tactics from Microsoft. An alternative, Windows Theme Over Linux (WINUX), has been updated to mimic Windows 10 and 11, requiring minimal hardware (2GB RAM and a dual-core 64-bit CPU) and offering up to five years of free updates. Advocacy groups are encouraging users to explore Linux alternatives, citing benefits like the absence of intrusive ads and telemetry tracking. Critics view Microsoft's extended support as a temporary solution rather than a sustainable fix.
