Meantime, though, if you’ve been lucky enough to get into the game, you might be reluctant to log out again until you’re sure you’re done playing — but idle players get booted if they remain inactive for too long. So exactly how long do you have before New World’s AFK timer kicks you? How long is New World’s AFK timer? With the release of New World’s 1.0.1 patch, the AFK timer has been reduced to 20 minutes, which is slightly down from the 25 minutes you had at launch....

How can you change your character’s appearance in Cyberpunk 2077? When Cyberpunk 2077 first released, you were completely unable to change V’s appearance once you exited the character customisation screen. Admittedly it wasn’t the biggest gripe at launch, but seriously, not even a haircut and some fresh lippy? What gives? Fortunately, with the arrival of the Version 1.5 update, you can now change some aspects of V’s appearance. Interacting with a mirror in any apartment or safehouse belonging to V allows you to make changes to their hairstyle, makeup, piercings, and other surface-level cosmetics....

In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know to get the sword in Tunic, so that you can get rid of that stick and start killing enemies with ease. This should be your first goal in Tunic, but it is only one step in a large adventure. If you’re not sure what to do next, check out our full Tunic walkthrough to find your next objective. How to get a sword in Tunic When you start Tunic, your fox protagonist wakes up on a beach without a weapon....

If you’re into healing then you’ll definitely want to check out Sage, which uses floating crystal-gun-things called Nouliths that shoot out lasers to attack foes but can also be used to create shields and heal party members. It’s a ‘Barrier healer’ rather than a pure healer like White Mage so the focus is geared more towards using shields to help protect your party. Below we’ll walk you through exactly how to unlock the Sage Job in FFXIV: Endwalker....

This is thanks to MW2’s new weapon platform system, which some players have found a bit confusing. So read on for everything you need to know about unlocking the LA-B 330, an important step on the road to completing your ideal arsenal. How to unlock the LA-B 330 in Modern Warfare 2 To unlock the SA-B 50, you need to complete the following steps in order: The LA-B 330 sits halfway up the Bryson Long Rifle weapon tree, so more more information on unlocking the other guns on the platform, see our unlock guides for the SA-B 50 and the SP-X 80....

On this page: How to unlock the OTs 9 in Warzone How to unlock the OTs 9 in Multiplayer How to unlock the OTs 9 in Zombies Note: for this weapon there are two different unlock challenges for Warzone and Multiplayer. Both involve you completing challenges across 15 different completed matches, but you can split those 15 matches across both Warzone and Multiplayer if you like. For example, you can progress with the Warzone challenge for 10 matches, and finish off with the Multiplayer challenge for 5 matches, or vice versa....

How to unlock the RPK in Modern Warfare 2 To unlock the RPK in MW2, you need to meet the following criteria: It’s not exactly a small ask to require you to get to Rank 23 to get access to the Kastovia platform, so be sure to take a look at our guide to levelling up fast in MW2 to speed you on your way. The RPK sits at the end of its own branch of the Kastovia platform, but there’s a second branch that goes on for much longer....

Alongside the six new cultures in the Latin America DLC, there are six new Wonders to build, too. These include the Teotihuacan, aka: Pyramid of the Sun, Maracana Stadium, Salar de Uyuni, Salto Angel, Lençóis Maranhenses, and the Atacama Desert. Rounding it out are also nine new independent peoples, 15 new narrative events, and over 30 new music tracks in there as well. The pack costs £6.99/$8.99/€8.99, and you can grab it right now....

This is clearly me fighting a losing semantic battle, but in any case, Humble’s Boomer Shooters Bundle has a lot of great games, including Dusk, Amid Evil, Ion Fury, HROT, and more for £9.05/$12. The other games on the list are Dread Templar, Hedon Bloodlite, Project Warlock, Hellbound - plus discount vouchers for Ultrakill and Prodeus. It’s the first two I mentioned above that we like best: Dusk and Amid Evil....

The idea is you build vertically, with each building taking up a block, and your people freely travelling through all of them to get to work or home or the pub. Everyone else who plays it seems to build enormous, elaborate, impressively well organised structures that are even kind of beautiful. I build a random pile of crap. I am absolutely rubbish at it.

Elite’s ships make a lot of noises, some of which I (extremely subjectively) find mildly irritating. It may not have full ship interiors, but the cockpits do a lot to sell the idea that you’re a person sitting in the ship, not a camera mounted on the front of it. The charging up times and the swooshing, humming, audibly spinning gubbinses of sci fi engines are great fun, and soon become oddly comforting in their familiarity....

I’m only an occasional player and tend to potter about, so it’s rare for me to have a load of cash. Most of my big money has gone into properties to access new types of crime plus a few solid workhorse vehicles (an armoured Kuruma, a Buzzard chopper, and a Gargoyle bike). I didn’t have the patience to save up for a supercar across yonks of casual play. Instead, I go for instant gratification and keep blowing my crimecash on whims, fancies, and follies....

I’m not a fan of most fighting games. All too often they have too many elaborate moves, too much memory testing, or they feel like glorified puzzles you have to figure out the one solution to. Hats Are Not Allowed takes an approach I find far more interesting. Combat is pared down to a few basic principles, and the challenge comes from learning how to combine them, and timing is less about animations than about second guessing your opponent....

I appear to have nodded off or something, because there are now 35 heroes on the roster, and Overwatch 2 is out. What. Who allowed this? I wish to speak to someone in charge. Jeff? Jeff From The Overwatch Team? Are you there? Jeff is still in charge right? Wait, wh-

Indie publisher Raw Fury, who’ve published the likes of Bad North and Call Of The Sea, posted a copy of their publishing agreement yesterday. They’ve also compiled other resources for developers on their site such as legal and financial paperwork samples that small or new studios may find useful. “We believe having publisher contracts out in the open helps level the playing field, and allows devs to have a more intimate understanding of the machinations of different deals when they start looking for partnerships,” they say of the choice to make this information public....

This was often enough to earn some half-throated recommendations for gaming builds specifically, but this past year proved that something needed to change, with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X claiming the best gaming CPU title and 11th Gen Rocket Lake Intel chips – like the 5600X’s rival Core i5-11600K – looking thoroughly skippable. For those who did decide to wait until the 12th Gen Alder Lake launch, consider yourselves vindicated, as the Core i5-12600K is a great all-rounder: both a Ryzen-beater in games and, thanks to a long-overdue architecture revamp, a drastically better general purpose processor....

Indeed, a cursory glance at the i9-10900K’s headline specs - its 10 cores, 20 threads and 14nm manufacturing process - might make it seem like Intel’s latest and greatest is already a bit old hat compared to 12 cores and 24 threads of the 7nm Ryzen 9 3900X. And in some respects it is. AMD still have the fastest CPU for juggling lots of multimedia tasks, but in terms of raw gaming performance, the Core i9-10900K is in a class of its own, blazing past its AMD rival with frames to spare....

“For our friends in the midst of a heatwave, a quick note about Steam Deck in high temperatures,” reads the tweet. “Steam Deck performs at its best in ambient temperatures between 0° and 35° C. If the temperature gets higher than this, Steam Deck may start to throttle performance to protect itself.” In a followup tweet, Valve offered more detail of what exactly is happening. “Steam Deck’s APU runs well at temperatures up to 100°C....

Because of this, when I was little, I was both a frustrating and a frustrated child. I imagined I would instantly be very good at any hobby I put my mind to, and when it turned out I wasn’t, I would immediately quit (because I was, and am, also very lazy). My mum started making me a ballet leotard, but never got to finish it. I started drama club, and then didn’t want to actually go into the room....
