Y’know that Monster Hunter Wilds bug where close proximity to a talking DLC vendor cat would drop your framerate? Gone. Dead. Done like a kipper. Do kippers exist in the Monster Hunter universe? Maybe not, but then neither does this bug, following a new PC patch for the troubled RPG and confirmed by my testing.

Roblox has announced that all static and classic face designs must be converted into animated dynamic heads or risk being removed from players’ inventories for good, all in the name of supporting “self-expression.” Starting today, all new head designs must adhere to the conditions of a dynamic head that allow for animation, and a five-week deadline has been given for asset sellers to convert their classic faces. Later this year, Roblox will give creators a final chance to convert any non-compliant heads, and if they don’t, they’ll be stripped from your inventory. Roblox first introduced dynamic heads back in 2022,…

Peak developer Aggro Crab has just released patch 1.53.a, which adds a number of new features and bug fixes to the game. The most exciting addition is that you can now kick other players from the game. This is a long-awaited option, as it will allow hosts to kick people with connection issues, rather than forcing them to restart the whole session.According to the Peak patch notes, while Peak players are still not allowed to kick our fellow scouts in-game, and you should feel ashamed for even thinking that, we can now kick them out of the game if there…

Arc Raiders has a new Headwinds game update that, amongst many other things, removes an extravagantly drawn-out puzzle from the game’s Buried City map. Introduced in December, the puzzle in question saw people tracking down and pushing 15 buttons in a certain order to unlock a secret chamber containing an actual, strummable guitar. As of this updating, you’ll now be able to buy that guitar at Shani’s, like a millionaire tourist paying to be flown to the top of Mount Everest. I regard this as a dilution of the game, on paper, but I am not one of the players…

Ubisoft recently informed GamesRadar+ of its proposal for a voluntary layoff program, only a week after the developer canceled six games and pledged itself, again, to what it describes as “player-facing Generative AI.” That’s a week that feels like a lifetime, but Ubisoft would like to knock over one more thing on its way out the door. So it’s just increased subscription prices for Just Dance+.What, you don’t think adding a few extra dollars to the Just Dance+ subscription service – a three-year-old model for a 17-year-old franchise that even fans know is in decline – will save Ubisoft from…

Starting today, you’ll have the option to pay a monthly fee for access to all nine billion or so CK3 expansions and add-ons, if you don’t fancy paying to own them outright in the usual fashion.

Capcom has released a patch for the PC version of Monster Hunter Wilds which it claims will fix a recently reported bug that was causing performance issues.Earlier this month, Reddit user de_Tylmarande posted a lengthy message on the Monster Hunter Reddit page suggesting that the game performs better on PC when all the DLC is installed.After performing some tests, they theorised that the game is constantly checking for the presence of DLC, and therefore the more DLC a player has installed, the better the game runs.Their findings were passed on to Capcom, and the company has now published a patch…

The Headwinds update is now live for Arc Raiders, filling the city with birds and giving players a new mode to play around in. The Seed Vault extract on Stella Montis has been sorted, and that damned puzzle for the guitar in Buried City has been switched off.Yes, you read that right. Most people familiar with the extraction shooter will be familiar, but for those who aren’t, Buried City contains a map-wide orienteering exercise you can complete to get some nice guitars. It involves pressing 15 buttons across the whole location in a particular order.It’s frustrating to do, since you’re…
