Dying Light 2 is a platform now, as the Breach update opens up Techland’s zombie survival game ‘even more to UGC content’

Techland has been enhancing Dying Light 2 since its launch in 2022, reworking the parkour system, introducing Volatiles, and improving combat mechanics. The game now features New Game+ and replayable bounties. The latest update, "The Breach," aims to enhance modding and user-generated content (UGC) capabilities, allowing players to create and share their own content. After completing the Prologue, players meet characters Tolga and Fatin, who provide tools for UGC experiences. Official mods include a third-person mode and a low-gravity mode, with community-created content like "The Atomborne" and "Dead Circuit." Dying Light 2 has a daily concurrent player count in the low thousands, which is respectable for a four-year-old single-player game but lower than other successful titles. The potential for a vibrant UGC community exists, especially as it may appeal to younger players compared to other platforms facing scrutiny.

Microsoft’s bug-hunting nemesis extends vendetta with more zero-day attacks — Nightmare Eclipse publishes RoguePlanet and GreatXML local privilege escalation exploits

Nightmare-Eclipse, also known as Chaotic-Eclipse, has introduced two new exploits: RoguePlanet and GreatXML. RoguePlanet exploits a vulnerability in Windows Defender, allowing attackers to gain SYSTEM user access privileges by tricking a user into executing a script. This access enables attackers to execute commands beyond standard Administrator capabilities, siphon sensitive data, and install malware. GreatXML provides a method for bypassing BitLocker encryption by creating a specially crafted "unattend.xml" file and a "Recovery" directory on the Windows recovery partition. Microsoft has shifted its stance from threatening legal action against Eclipse and is now monitoring the situation, while Eclipse has postponed a planned mass disclosure of zero-day Windows vulnerabilities initially set for July 14 due to delays in developing RoguePlanet.
