Project Zomboid bans rogue mods deploying “malicious code” to players’ PCs

The Indie Stone has removed a series of malicious mods associated with the 'True Moozic' soundtrack expander for Project Zomboid, which were found to generate harmful files outside the game’s directory. These mods were not linked to their original creator and have been taken down from the Steam Workshop. The developer banned the individual responsible for these uploads and advised players who downloaded the affected mods to take security precautions. A total of 14 mods from the same user were identified, with installations estimated between 500 and 2,200. The Indie Stone clarified that the exploit was limited to Build 42 branches and emphasized that the malicious uploads were unauthorized and not part of the True Moozic mod. Additionally, they released a security update for Build 41 to address a separate vulnerability, which has not been found to be exploited. The 'outdated unstable' branch has also been updated to ensure it remains one content update behind the 'unstable' branch.

Project Zomboid identifies and bans over a dozen Steam Workshop mods containing ‘heavily obfuscated code’ that was ‘creating malicious files’

The Indie Stone has identified a security issue involving 14 mods on the Steam Workshop for Project Zomboid, which contain heavily obfuscated code linked to the creation of malicious files outside the game's directory. Reports from players indicated that one mod was generating harmful code, prompting an investigation that confirmed the presence of the exploit across multiple mods uploaded by the same user. The affected mods had between 500 and 2,200 installations, and the user has been banned while the mods have been removed from the Steam Workshop. The exploit specifically affects Build 42 branches of Project Zomboid, with players using Build 41 being unaffected. The Indie Stone advises players who downloaded these mods to take security precautions beyond simply uninstalling them. The affected mods include various soundtracks, such as Risk of Rain 2 OST, NieR: Automata OST, and others, each with specific Workshop and Mod IDs.

Arc Raiders crafting just got much faster: “Your time matters, we don’t want you spending it clicking through menus”

Crafting is essential in Arc Raiders, where players gather resources to create weapons, gear, and consumables. Embark Studios is working to improve the crafting experience by addressing the time-consuming nature of resource gathering. They have introduced a new 'Acquire Resources' button in the crafting screen, which provides a list of available sources for required materials, including recyclable items from the player's inventory and options from traders. This feature aims to reduce interruptions and streamline the crafting process, although it does not guarantee immediate access to all materials. The studio acknowledges that further improvements are needed and is committed to addressing additional player concerns in future updates. They also encourage ongoing community feedback to shape their development priorities.

Screamer review

Screamer is a futuristic racing game developed and published by Milestone, set to be released on March 26, 2026, with a price of £50. The game features a narrative-driven experience with diverse character representation, where racers communicate in their native languages, supported by subtitles. The first team introduced, the Green Reapers, has a storyline involving revenge against the tournament organizer, Mr. A. The game incorporates an ECHO device for speed boosts and combat mechanics, but its handling model, which mimics exaggerated drifts, may be challenging for players. Customization options are available in Gage’s Workshop, showcasing different vehicle designs. The game includes various event types, offering a rich content experience despite potential issues with driving mechanics.
