Monster Hunter Wilds is getting more PC improvements, but they don’t seem to address the CPU issues tanking the game’s performance

Capcom is preparing a significant update for Monster Hunter Wilds to address performance issues, including adjustments to VRAM usage and corrections in the Graphics settings. The patch notes indicate enhancements such as the return of monsters and new equipment, but players remain skeptical about the effectiveness of these changes. Since the game's launch in February, many players have reported persistent crashes and texture problems, leading to a negative reception reflected in recent reviews on Steam, where only 14% of feedback in the past month has been positive. Despite these challenges, earlier titles in the Monster Hunter franchise have seen a resurgence in sales over the past year.

Stalker 2’s 1.5 mega-patch just dropped and GSC says A-Life is back, baby

GSC Game World has released a substantial update for Stalker 2, called the "Guns and Looting update" (version 1.5). This update revives the A-Life system, allowing NPCs to lead their own lives, pursue individual goals, and engage in conflicts. NPCs will no longer respawn directly in front of players, enhancing realism. The update also introduces new features, including a new rifle and pistol, a "Water electric tornado" anomaly, and the ability to loot parts from mutants.

Your Windows 11 System Restore points may vanish 30 days earlier than you’d expect

Recent updates from Microsoft indicate that the lifespan of System Restore points on Windows 11 has been reduced to 60 days. Following the June 2025 Windows security update, restore points older than 60 days will no longer be accessible. This change will also apply to future versions of Windows 11, specifically version 24H2. Previously, System Restore points were designed to last around 90 days, but their actual duration varied, with some expiring as quickly as 10 days after creation.

Tempest Rising’s first major update targets the Command and Conquer successor’s multiplayer, adding 6 maps, a 2v2 ranked mode, and an extensive balance overhaul

Tempest Rising has released its first major update, the "Rally and Recon" update, which enhances the multiplayer experience. Key features include a ranked mode for 2v2 matches with leaderboards and the ability to adjust the population cap for multiplayer matches from 100 to 500 units. The update also includes a comprehensive rebalance of existing units, affecting factions differently; for example, the GFD faction's spy drones are less effective, while its hunter tank is improved, and the Tempest Dynasty experiences slower resource harvesting but gains stronger second-tier units. Players are also anticipating the introduction of a third playable faction, which has only been available as an adversary in campaign mode.

Microsoft has disabled a ‘key feature’ to enhance Windows security – The Times of India

Microsoft updated the Windows Hello face unlock functionality in April, which now fails to operate in low-light environments due to a strategic decision aimed at addressing a spoofing vulnerability. Users of Surface Laptops have reported frustrations as they can no longer access their devices using facial recognition in dark rooms. The update requires color cameras to see a visible face when signing in. Researchers from Nanyang Technological University identified a vulnerability in the system that allowed unauthorized access, although Microsoft categorized it as "important" and stated the likelihood of exploitation remains low. A temporary workaround for users is to disable the webcam through Windows 11's Device Manager, but this renders the camera unusable for other applications.

Microsoft’s Windows Hello facial recognition no longer works in the dark

Microsoft updated its Windows Hello face unlock feature in April, requiring adequate lighting for functionality to address a security vulnerability. The facial recognition system now relies on color cameras to detect visible faces, making it ineffective in low-light conditions. Users can disable the webcam via Windows 11 Device Manager as a workaround, but this disables the camera for all applications. The security flaw was identified by researchers at Nanyang Technological University and classified by Microsoft as "important," though it has not been publicly disclosed or exploited. Inquiries about reinstating dark-room functionality in future updates are pending.

Cities: Skylines 2’s latest patch has introduced quays and piers after seeing players using makeshift substitutes: ‘We know how challenging they can be to build’

The latest patch for Cities: Skylines 2 introduces actual quays and piers, allowing for easier shoreline construction. The new quays can detect changes in elevation and come in three sizes: narrow (for pedestrians only), medium, and wide (for both pedestrians and vehicles). The Bridges and Ports expansion has been delayed to address cargo transportation issues in the base game. The patch includes various fixes: trucks will no longer visit the Cargo Harbour after deactivation, the number of taxis and visitors at small parks has been reduced, cargo ships will no longer overlap at deactivated Cargo Harbours, cargo amounts in the Cargo Train Route Selected Info Panel have been corrected, and an issue with trucks not deducting the correct resources has been resolved.

The secret stand-out of Sony’s State of Play was the bizarre resurrection of Deus Ex’s PS2 version

Deus Ex, originally released for the PlayStation 2 in 2002, is being re-released for the PlayStation 5 in 2025 through Sony's PS+ service. The updated version features a reimagined orchestral soundtrack, enhanced character models, and transformed cutscenes into full CGI sequences. The protagonist JC Denton has a more human-like neck, and characters can now express emotions like smiling. The revival aims to preserve gaming history and narrative-driven gameplay. There is potential for the Embracer Group to explore its library of intellectual properties, possibly reviving other lesser-known titles for modern platforms.
