Marvel Tōkon Fighting Souls launches with PC performance issues and mixed Steam ratings

Players of Marvel: Tōkon Fighting Souls are experiencing performance issues on PC, leading to a Mixed rating on Steam with only 43% positive feedback. The game suffers from persistent micro-stutters during gameplay, launch failures, and significant challenges for Linux users, who are unable to access the game. A Reddit user highlighted that the game has regular micro-stutters regardless of hardware or settings, with frame-time graphs showing frequent spikes correlating to visible stutters. These issues disrupt online matches due to dropped frames. Even high-end hardware does not alleviate the stuttering, and external frame-rate limiters do not resolve the visible stutters. Steam reviews reflect concerns about performance, with some users reporting issues before launching the game. Linux users are particularly frustrated as the game blocks any attempts to launch on Linux systems, unlike another title from the same developer. The game is also not compatible with the Steam Deck due to similar Linux-related issues. Arc System Works has released a day-one patch aimed at improving performance, including reducing CPU load and addressing performance drops associated with overlays, but players are still awaiting feedback on its effectiveness.

Windows 10 Is No Longer As Safe As It Used To Be – So Why Aren’t More People Updating?

Windows 11 has faced criticism from users, despite improvements like the option to uninstall AI features. Some users are attempting to run it on unsupported hardware, leading to frustrations, especially after updates. The percentage of Windows 10 users decreased from about 42% in October 2025 to 26% by May 2026, following the end of support for Windows 10. Safety for Windows 10 users depends on participation in the extended support program and staying updated, but risks include the expiration of security certificates crucial for Secure Boot, set to expire in mid-2026. Microsoft is issuing updates for eligible machines, but support is not indefinite, and older systems may face difficulties. Third-party applications may also withdraw compatibility with Windows 10. Alternatives to upgrading include Apple's Mac OS and Linux, which has seen a rise in market share, surpassing 4.7% globally by 2025. Linux distributions like Zorin OS and Linux Mint mimic the Windows experience, and ChromeOS can be installed on various computers.
