Ubisoft Ships Heroes III Without the Game - briefly
(hx) 09:34 PM CEST - Aug,26 2026 - Post a comment / read (4)

Ubisoft put the original Heroes of Might and Magic III Complete Edition on Steam for $9.99, then shipped a 23.49 KB dummy file.

Buyers who launched Heroes3.exe got a command prompt saying “Dummy executable. Ensure that you are on the right Steam branch.”

The listing is the 1999 game plus Armageddon’s Blade and The Shadow of Death, not the 2027 remake announced at Gamescom.

Steam reviews sank to Mostly Negative until a roughly 770 MB patch landed about 11 hours later.

The official Might & Magic account said the issue was investigated and fixed, and asked players to reinstall.

The store page is now Mixed after that update.

(hx) 08:17 PM CEST - Aug,26 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
NVIDIA has released a new driver for its graphics cards. According to the release notes, the NVIDIA GeForce 616.56 WHQL driver is optimized for STAR WARS Zero Company, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam.

This driver also comes with a couple of gaming bugs. To be more precise, DOOM: The Dark Ages and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: Frame rate will no longer exceed V-SYNC when DLSS Frame Generation 3x or higher is used. Moreover, Outer Worlds will no longer suffer from texture flickering.

The NVIDIA GeForce 616.56 WHQL driver also has some other general bug fixes. For instance, it fixes an issue that could prevent the GameVisual color profiles in ASUS Armory Crate to be applied when using R590 drivers.

Chief Architect will no longer crash on the GeForce RTX 4000 series GPUs. Claude Desktop will no longer be detected as a 3D app. Furthermore, the driver fixes an issue that could cause a driver crash with 32-bit DirectX 12 apps. Plus, Tycho Tracker will be able to create individual OpenCL buffers greater than 2GB.

How to Inspect a CS2 Knife Listing Properly - in-house
() 12:19 PM CEST - Aug,26 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
Buying a knife in CS2 is rarely spontaneous. If it's an expensive item, a few minutes of inspecting it can save you quite a bit of money. Two knives with the same name can look different, and sometimes cost significantly more just because of the pattern or a beautiful color transition. That's why experienced players don't limit themselves to the item name and price. Before buying, they look at the float of the skin and other things that aren’t always apparent right away. Here’s a list of things to look out for before buying a knife....read a full article

ASUS unveiled the ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace at Gamescom 2026, a 24.5-inch Full HD Tandem WOLED monitor that runs at 720Hz.

The company calls it the fastest OLED monitor it has made; unlike some earlier dual-mode panels that hit 720Hz only at 720p, this one is specified at 1080p.

It uses ASUS TrueBlack Glossy coating, a 0.02ms response time, and a built-in position sensor that shows height, tilt, and swivel on screen.

Display analyst Vincent Teoh, reporting from the show, listed 1,700-nit peak HDR brightness in a 1.5% window and DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20.

ASUS priced the PG259QWS Ace at $1,099, with sales planned for early Q4, and named it the official monitor of the 2026 PGL CS2 Major.

Two sibling 24.5-inch OLEDs join it: the 560Hz QD-OLED XG259QDPG Ace and the 360Hz XG259QDNS Ace.

A dedicated PlayStation collector has publicly ended his support for the brand after years of loyalty.

Peter Milevski posted a photo of himself with a large collection that includes the original PlayStation, PS2, PS3, PS4 Pro, PS5, PS Vita and PSP. In the caption he thanked Sony for the memories but declared "this is it" and "Goodbye," using the hashtags #PSBlackout and #NoDiscNoBuy.

The post is part of a wider fan protest against Sony's plan to stop producing physical discs for new games starting in January 2028. The image has quickly become a symbol of the physical media backlash.

Cyberleek Calls for Leek Protests at Rockstar - briefly
(hx) 03:55 PM CEST - Aug,25 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)

The GTA 6 leaker known as Cyberleek is urging gamers to dress as leeks and protest outside Take-Two and Rockstar offices during work hours while holding physical game discs.

The call aims to protest the game’s digital-only approach, where boxed “physical” copies contain only a download code and no actual disc.

Cyberleek has already released multiple gameplay clips and map details as part of its campaign against digital pre-orders and what it calls anti-consumer practices.

At least one fan has already shown up outside Rockstar North in Edinburgh carrying leeks.

Take-Two is pursuing legal action to identify those behind the leaks.

The protests are framed as a condition for releasing more content, including potential story spoilers. As spotted by Reece_US on Twitter, a young man visited Rockstar North’s office in Scotland carrying some leeks. He recorded a video of himself in front of the studio saying: “Enough is enough, drop the beach leaks for all the incels!” The man then took a big bite out of the leek while standing in front of the studio. Another user reportedly spotted the man carrying leeks and walking to Rockstar North’s front facade and then recording the message seen above.

Joint CEO Michal Nowakowski shared the news in a video, noting the studio is not ready to give an exact date.

The game will not appear at Gamescom this week.

Instead, CDPR will showcase The Witcher 3’s new expansion, Songs of the Past, which is planned for 2027.

More than 500 developers are currently working on what the studio calls its biggest and most ambitious game to date.

Fans will have to wait a bit longer, but the team is focusing on delivering a deep open-world experience with Ciri in the lead.

Fake 113GB GTA VI ISO Turns Out to Be Malware - tech
(hx) 06:04 PM CEST - Aug,23 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)

A massive 113GB file claiming to be a GTA VI ISO has started circulating on torrent sites shortly after the recent game leaks.

Internet researchers who analyzed the download say the file is almost entirely empty, padded with zeroes.

Only a tiny 50KB section contains actual malware.

The embedded virus attempts to disable Windows Defender and terminate security software.

The fake ISO appears designed to exploit curiosity around the ongoing GTA 6 leak campaign.

Users are strongly advised not to download any supposed early builds of the game.

Microsoft Blames RGB Software for Windows 11 Game Crashes - tech
(hx) 02:21 PM CEST - Aug,23 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)

Microsoft has identified the cause of recent Windows 11 gaming crashes after the KB5121003 update.

The company says the issue is linked to RGB lighting hardware and software that installs drivers such as inpoutx64.

Affected games include ARC Raiders, MARVEL T?kon: Fighting Souls, and THE FINALS.

Players may experience freezes, crashes, EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION errors, or even unexpected PC restarts.

Microsoft has published a temporary workaround that disables the inpoutx64 driver, though this can also turn off RGB functionality.

A permanent fix is still under investigation.

Rockstar's Legal War Risks Alienating Fans More Than the Leaks - briefly
(hx) 10:17 AM CEST - Aug,23 2026 - Post a comment / read (5)

Take-Two Interactive, parent of Rockstar Games, is aggressively pursuing legal action over the ongoing GTA 6 leaks.

The company has filed federal subpoenas against Microsoft and Discord seeking identifying information on accounts linked to the Cyberleek material.

Community reports also claim that ordinary gaming accounts have been restricted for simply discussing the leaks in text form.

While the leaks themselves have frustrated many players, the broad legal crackdown is drawing significant criticism for targeting everyday discussion.

Some gamers now argue this heavy-handed approach could damage Rockstar’s reputation with its own audience more than the leaked footage.

The company has not publicly commented beyond the legal filings. "Take-Two, through its counsel of record, has submitted a sworn declaration confirming that the purpose for which the DMCA subpoena is sought is to obtain the identity of an alleged infringer or infringers, and that such information will only be used for the purpose of protecting Take-Two's rights."

Both Microsoft and Discord apparently have until 4th September - around two weeks - to produce all information related to the CyberLeek persona, which has taken credit for the GTA 6 leaks. Take-Two is seeking information "sufficient to identify the user(s) person" from Microsoft, including details like account IDs, registration emails, IP addresses, phone numbers, and linked Xbox and Google accounts.

Discord, meanwhile, has been petitioned to hand over "all user accounts that are/were members communicating with the Discord servers" such as CyberLeek, CinematicRockstar, Surfer24K, Odyssey, and DarkViperAU.

Update:

They’re not just hunting the leaker.

Take-Two got court approval to pull personal info (emails, phone numbers, IPs, device IDs) from ~100k Discord users across multiple servers... including DarkViperAU’s 90k-member server.

Most of those people are complete bystanders… https://t.co/KrOEG3l3W5 pic.twitter.com/t8B59WkxZT

Sony Reminds Players: You Don't Own Your Digital Games - briefly
(hx) 07:18 PM CEST - Aug,22 2026 - Post a comment / read (4)

Sony is currently emailing PlayStation users a copy of its Terms of Service.

The terms confirm that digital games are licenses only, not owned purchases.

If an account is closed or banned, access to paid digital games can be lost.

Sony’s liability for most issues is capped at £100 or unused wallet funds.

The company also retains broad rights over user clips and collected data such as IP addresses.

These rules have been in place and were last substantially updated in April 2026.

Why Microsoft Really Dropped Pinball From Windows - briefly
(hx) 04:31 PM CEST - Aug,22 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)

Microsoft removed 3D Pinball from Windows Vista for a technical reason, not licensing issues.

During the 64-bit port of Windows XP, the game developed a serious bug where the ball passed straight through objects like a ghost.

The original code had been written years earlier by an outside company and was poorly documented.

Engineers couldn’t even locate the collision detection code or identify the floating-point error causing the problem.

With millions of lines of code still left to port and a tight deadline, the team decided it wasn’t worth the time.

The game has never returned as a built-in feature.

Pixel 11 Pro Fold Snaps Again in Bend Test - tech

Google’s Pixel 11 Pro Fold failed the latest JerryRigEverything durability test, cracking along its antenna lines next to the hinge during the bend test.

The front screen completely detached as a single piece under force, while the back panel stayed intact.

This marks the fourth consecutive year a Pixel Fold has broken in the same spot despite Google’s claim the 2026 model is three times more durable.

Samsung’s thinner Galaxy Z Fold 8 passed the same test, highlighting a recurring design weakness in Google’s antenna placement.

Unlike last year’s model, the battery did not rupture or smoke this time.

GTA VI Leaker Demands $165k Just to Talk About Ads - briefly
(hx) 09:46 AM CEST - Aug,22 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)

The GTA VI leaker known as CYBERLEEK is now trying to monetize the stolen footage in a new way.

Instead of traditional ransoms, the group is offering to sell advertising space inside the watermarks of future leak videos.

They also offer custom-made gameplay clips tailored to brands, including adult content.

To even begin negotiations, interested parties must first pay 400 Monero (approximately $165,000).

This payment only guarantees that CYBERLEEK will reply and open a conversation on the Session messenger.

Actual advertising prices and terms are discussed privately after contact is established.

The leaker’s site explicitly states that the fee is not a ransom to stop the leaks.

CYBERLEEK previously released multiple apparent GTA VI gameplay clips starting around August 18.

Those leaks included everyday gameplay, map details, and other footage that Rockstar has been actively removing.

Alongside the leaks, the group promoted a Solana memecoin called $CYBERLEEK.

Take-Two Interactive has begun legal efforts, including DMCA subpoenas against Discord and Microsoft, to identify those behind the leaks.

The latest move shows the leaker is treating the stolen material as a commercial advertising platform.

Observers note the extremely high contact fee makes the offer more spectacle than practical business.

No major brands are known to have engaged with the offer so far.

The situation continues to evolve as more footage is expected and legal pressure increases.
