Prevention News, Tips, Tricks & Ideas

Foamstars will be available for all PS Plus Essential members later today, but the online foam game won't be rewarding you with a Platinum Trophy once you've earned 100 per cent completion. Just like the upcoming Tomb Raider I-III PS5, PS4 remasters, Foamstars has chosen not to bother with the top gong in Sony's Trophy system. This is not a case of issues with bundled collections preventing additional Platinum Trophies, however. The developer just… isn't bothering.

Helldivers 2 is proving to be so popular that the game is still facing login issues even after a maintenance period that greatly improved server capacity.

Gigabyte has made a design revision to itshigh-end GeForce RTX 4090 & RTX 4080 GPUs after incidents involving PCB cracking surfaced on the internet.

Much like the previous weekend, February 11th’s answer also features a repeating letter that could cause many players to waste their attempts on random guesses if they aren’t careful. The answer is quite commonly used in daily conversation, but since the game doesn’t offer any specific hints for repeating letters, you might lose your daily streak reasonably quickly. However, if you use a different mode, you might be able to prevent that.

Blizzard has pushed a hotfix for Season of Discovery, fixing an issue regarding the Blood Moon PvP event. This fix will make players who recently resurrected be worth nothing for other players for 1 minute.

NVIDIA has updated the RTX Remix runtime to version 0.4.1, improving compatibility thanks to a series of changes made to the bridge component. The full changelog is available on GitHub:

The Year of the Dragon is here, featuring the return of fan-favorite Mischief and Magic prop hunt, past Lunar New Year game modes, new rewards, and all new skins in the shop. Read on to discover what adventures and rewards await when you log onto Overwatch 2.

Xbox Game Pass is a wonderful thing for the budget-conscious gamer, but issues have arisen with Palworld, as it isn’t as feature-complete as it is on Steam.

January 28th’s answer is going to be quite tricky to solve as the answer contains a repeating letter in odd spots. The repeating letter is also a vowel, which makes solving the answer even more complicated. The answer itself is also quite obscure and isn’t commonly used in daily conversation. Therefore, it is advised that players use some relevant hints if they are unable to find the correct position of any letter.

Bewilderingly rapid changes are happening in the technology and reach of computer systems. There are exciting advances in artificial intelligence, in the masses of tiny interconnected devices we call the “Internet of Things” and in wireless connectivity. Unfortunately, these improvements bring potential dangers as well as benefits. To get a safe future we need to anticipate what might happen in computing and address it early. So, what do experts think will happen, and what might we do to prevent major problems?

Link has gone through many strange transformations in , taking advantage of various types of magic to advance in his quests. However, although all of these changes have been necessary for him to succeed, not all of them have been entirely voluntary; instead, the hero of Hyrule has been cursed to take on different forms on more than one occasion. Moreover, regardless of their (sometimes ironic) utility, it cannot be denied that these transformations and their respective triggers can be very strange.

Destiny 2 fashion aficionados, you have something to get pumped about before The Final Shape. That’s because, arguably, the best weapon shader is returning to the game via the upcoming Riven’s Wishes content. I’m talking about Twilight Keepsake, the matte black one. So, while you may have all the Starcats and every Wish-Keeper Catalyst, there’s still something to look forward to during the next expansion’s lengthy delay. It’s especially true for anyone who missed out on Twilight Keepsake the first and only other time it was available in-game.

Nefarious Palworld players are causing mayhem on the game’s public servers. On Thursday, Palworld developer Pocketpair posted an apology to the game’s Steam page, pledging to “focus even more on security” in an attempt to rid Palworld of its cheating problem. Though Pocketpair has confirmed cheating on its official server, it noted that it’s hard to prevent all cheating “immediately,” though it will issue a patch “as soon as it is ready.”

The Galaxy S24 Ultra debuted with Gorilla Glass Armor protecting the device, and the company did not make a big deal out of it as it should have. Ever since the official announcement, we have been seeing tests done to test just how good this new technology is. At first, we saw that the new Gorilla Glass Armor actually prevents a lot of reflections on the screen, improving the visibility to an excellent degree. Then, we saw the phone go through a pretty painful test where the screen was rubbed against a lot of sand, and it still managed to come out unharmed.

Palworld developer Pocketpair says it's aware that some players are cheating on official servers, but says it's "difficult to completely prevent all cheating."

Pocketpair has just released a new Palworld Patch for PC, packing countermeasures against cheating and bug fixes.

A new update has been rolled out for the Steam version of Pocketpair’s survival and crafting game Palworld, which, as well as a couple of bug fixes, contains “countermeasures against various cheats and exploits.”

With 6 million players and already proven popularity, Palworld players are expecting big things from Pocketpair. Our first glimpse of the Early Access roadmap for Palworld shows that the team is already working on even more content for the survival game.

One way to prevent motion blur from occurring on a gaming monitor is to speed up how fast a pixel is able to transition to another value.

They hold onto information as it flashes in front of our eyes, causing blur, and the only way to get rid of that is to strobe a monitor's backlight.
