BattleBit Remastered won’t leave Steam Deck players behind when its anti-cheat update arrives-
BattleBit Remastered, the $15 indie FPS that became an instant best seller on Steam last month, will continue to support the Steam Deck after its planned anti-cheat update arrives. The BattleBit team announced the news during a live dev stream held on Discord, and was later confirmed by a moderator on the server (as noticed by Steam Deck HQ).
This makes BattleBit a rarity on the platform: many multiplayer games that would otherwise be playable on a Steam Deck have been deemed “unsupported” due to their associated anti-cheat software being incompatible with Proton, the tool Valve uses to run Windows apps on the Linux-based Deck. BattleBit has been functional on Deck up to now because it uses a version of Easy Anti-Cheat that works with Proton.
When the devs announced that it’d soon move over to FaceIT, an anti-cheat software favored by CS:GO players for unofficial matches that isn’t typically Linux-compatible, players feared it’d spell the en…

Helldivers 2 patch makes its absurdly hard defence events easier, but ups the challenge at higher difficulties-
Helldivers 2 has endured another chaotic weekend, with developer Arrowhead Game Studios taking the drastic step of capping the game’s player count players to help servers cope with demand following its stratospherically popular launch. In the midst of all that, however, the studio also dropped a more general patch to address several other issues. Patch 01.000.009 “continues the focus on stability and matchmaking”, adding numerous fixes for crashes and. But it also makes a much needed tweak to the difficulty of one particularly brutal mission.
This is the Defend Event that was added to the game last week following the invasion of several human-controlled planets by the game’s automaton faction. The mission notionally involves escorting citizens to safety while repelling attacks from the game’s crimson-eyed robots. But in its initial form, you’d be lucky if you could even get those citizens out the door. I tried a Defend mission late last week on the game’s medium difficulty (th…
‘I’m not a big fan of survival games,’ says director of 2024’s best survival game-
My last few weeks with Abiotic Factor have been a cure for survival crafting burnout. I thought I’d never want to look at another crafting bench again, but it turns out, all I really needed was a genuinely fresh perspective on survival crafting to get on board. What first drew me in was Abiotic’s setting, a post-disaster underground lab inspired by Half-Life’s Black Mesa facility.
You won’t find choppable trees in the cold, echoing halls of the Gate Cascade Research Facility. You can’t forage for berries or build a log cabin, but you can spend your last dollar on a vending machine root beer and smash up a CRT monitor for its useful innards. You don’t play as a blank slate or seasoned survivalist—you’re a schlubby scientist with no idea what they’re up against, a fact you’re reminded of every time you vomit up dubious soup, get so sleepy your eyelids narrow, or have to find a bathroom before you have a serious accident in your pants.

Massive Dota 2 patch makes the map 40% bigger, changes the UI, matchmaking, so much other stuff it’s basically Dota 3 now-
It’s not every day Dota 2 gets a new map. In fact, it’s pretty much just today. The New Frontiers Update brings Dota 2 up to version 7.33, and it’s a hefty patch that changes the matchmaking algorithm, alters the interface, adds a new hero type, makes a heap of balance changes, and expands the map by 40%.
Valve notes that, while there is “40% more terrain” around the map’s edges, the lanes remain as close together as always. There’s just more to explore around and between them, and “Both main jungles have also been fully reconfigured, shaking up vision placement, juke routes, farming and more.” Here’s what’s new.
- Four new named areas: The Well, The Graveyard, The Statue, and The Mines.
- Roshan has two pits instead of one.
- Twin gates let you teleport between the top and bottom lane. Roshan also uses them to move between his pits.
- Lotus pools on the map’s left and right spawn healing lotus that gives mana as well as HP.
- Neutral creep min…
Elden Ring players find cut voice lines from Shadow of the Erdtree bosses that probably should’ve said something, if we’re being honest-
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is a banger of an expansion—a return to the densely-packed worlds of Dark Souls yore, rammed with new and deadly weapons, and saddled with a final boss so unrelentingly hard it started a whole new difficulty discourse before, naturally, getting demolished by the unbeatable dodge gods of the gaming public.
But there’s one flaw in the diamond: A few bosses—ones who are pretty important to the game’s lore—are completely mute. In particular, Rellana and Romina are silent as the grave: but it wasn’t always that way.
Watch On
First surfacing on streaming website bilibili, then fully datamined by sleuth BonfireVN, a set of voice lines for several side characters (and two bosses) have been uncovered, and it seems like they were axed from the DLC for reasons I’ll never quite understand. Rellana’s voiceline is a simple “Rise, twin moons!” whereas Romina has a few barks: “Children of the tower” and “Butterflies, take wing!”.
Microsoft softens language about killing off the Control Panel, but it’s still clearly gonna kill off the Control Panel-
Using Windows feels like a constant negotiation with a hostile and unstable terrorist whom I paid for the privilege, so I was ready to get up in arms about it formally “deprecating” the Control Panel in favor of the newer Settings menu. But then, as reported by Ars Technica, Microsoft softened its words, if not the meaning behind them, and more to the point, I don’t think the big M is really doing anything wrong—this time.
A Windows support page was recently updated with the language “The Control Panel is in the process of being deprecated in favor of the Settings app, which offers a more modern and streamlined experience.” After widespread discussion and reporting on the move, including PC World’s editorial, “Windows will have to pry Control Panel from my cold dead hands” (much respect), Microsoft amended the language to read “many of the settings in Control Panel are in the process of being migrated to the Settings app, which offers a more modern and st…

Skywind, the ambitious mod remaking Morrowind in Skyrim, has a new 20 minute gameplay video showing off an entire quest-
There are lots of ambitious full conversion Skyrim mods in development, and one of the most anticipated by Elder Scrolls fans is Skywind. Modders have spent more than decade meticulously recreating The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind in Skyrim’s engine, and long-time Bethesda RPG fans are eager to play it.
Unfortunately, the mod isn’t finished yet and Skywind still doesn’t have a release date, but here’s a treat to make the wait a little more bearable. Today the mod team at The Elder Scroll Renewal Project have unveiled a full 20 minutes of new Skywind gameplay footage, and it looks fantastic. You can watch an entire quest, start to finish, in the video below. Check it out:
Morrowind fanatics will probably immediately recognize the setting, and maybe even the quest itself, which is called “Necromancer in Mawia.” The video begins in Molag Amur in the Ashlands as the player strides through a dust storm to visit the temple in the city of Molag Mar. The temple maste…
