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.

Exclusive: Turbo VPN releases emergency Windows update after TechRadar uncovers persistent IP leaks

Turbo VPN's Windows client has faced significant privacy issues, including active IP leaks and misconfigured protocols. Owned by Innovative Connecting Pte. Limited in Singapore, it has over 500 million downloads on Android. Initial testing revealed that version 3.6.0.0 did not resolve IPv6 address leaks, despite IPv4 addresses being masked. A subsequent update, version 3.7.0.0, successfully blocked unencrypted IPv6 traffic while maintaining IPv4 masking. Testing showed that the proprietary protocol Lepus functions differently from standard VPNs, routing non-browser data through a local proxy without encryption. Turbo VPN's response indicated that the observed issues were limited to specific network configurations, and they have since implemented improvements in the latest version. However, detailed information about their proprietary protocols remains unavailable.

Google is bringing back native app lock for Android, but not for everyone yet

The latest Android Canary release introduces a new feature that allows users to lock multiple apps simultaneously through the settings menu, enhancing the app lock functionality. This feature is accessible under Settings > Security & privacy > App lock and allows users to organize locked apps in a list view. Once locked, apps will not display notification content, and their widgets and shortcuts will be hidden, although AI agents can still access their data if previously permitted. Users need to enter a PIN or use biometric authentication to access locked apps, which will also remain hidden from the recents menu. This development positions Google alongside competitors like Xiaomi and vivo, who offer similar features.
