Do you use a Google Pixel smartphone in combination with a Samsung Galaxy smartwatch? Then you may have already noticed that the Galaxy Watch app no longer works since the last update. The January security update seems to be the culprit.
Many users of the previously mentioned products report that the Galaxy Watch app, which you use to connect the smartphone to the Galaxy Watch, crashes, does not start up or gets stuck on the loading screen. Users also no longer receive notifications on their smartwatch. The problem occurs on the Galaxy Watch 4, Galaxy Watch 5 and the Galaxy Watch 6. These smartwatches all run on Wear OS.
It is striking that the problem now also occurs on Samsung smartphones. Google and Samsung have one thing in common, both manufacturers have rolled out the January 2024 security patch. So the latest security update seems to be the problem. There is a good chance that Samsung will quickly solve the problem via an update for the Galaxy Wearable app, but the manufacturer has not yet announced anything about this.

It is not known whether this is a mistake or intentional on Xiaomi’s part.
For now there are few innovations with the new OS
Xiaomi is building HyperOS Android 14 and therefore the transition should be smooth for European users. The global version appears different than the Chinese version, which has been rolling out since October 2023, with Google services pre-installed, which should not affect the compatibility of apps. The interface is clearly similar to the last version of MIUI 14.
In other words: Not much changes at first. However, it remains to be seen where Xiaomi wants to go with the new OS. In the future, HyperOS will link the manufacturer’s product universe more closely.

Motorola Edge 20 (Pro) review: Smartphones are more than just looks
We have recently tested the Motorola Edge 20 and Edge 20 Pro extensively. The new Motos look very nice, but how do the smartphones score in terms of hardware and camera, for example? Time for the review.
Read the Motorola Edge 20 (Pro) review
A while ago, the Motorola Edge 20 smartphones were announced. We have already discussed the cheaper Edge 20 Lite in an extensive review and now it is time for the Edge 20 and Edge Pro. These smartphones are better in almost every respect and especially a bit more luxurious. Motorola, for example, has spent a lot of time on the design.
The Edge 20 (499 euros) and Edge 20 Pro (699 euros) are aimed at the upper middle segment and are also a lot more expensive than the devices that Motorola usually releases. The company must come from a good background to stand out. Fortunately, there are a number of features that catch the eye, such as the design, screen and cameras. In this review we will discuss everything with you.
Thin and sleek design
We start with the design of the new Motorola’s. The smartphones have a sleek design and a relatively thin casing. The Edge 20 in particular stands out: this device is only 7 millimeters thick. Nevertheless, it is sturdy and we like the dark gray color of the Edge 20.
The thin casing is in itself a great achievement by Motorola, but the phone does feel a bit cheap. This is mainly due to the plastic back and the fact that the Edge 20 does not weigh that much (163 grams). The Edge 20 Pro is heavier and has a glass back, which makes it feel more luxurious.
The Edge 20 and Edge 20 Pro do not have official IP certification, but according to Motorola they can withstand a splash of water. These are not smartphones that you can operate with one hand. The screen is too large for that and the housing is fairly wide. So keep that in mind if you have smaller hands.
Screen and internal hardware
One of the nicest features of the Motorola Edge 20 and Edge 20 Pro is the screen. Both devices have a 6.7-inch OLED display, which makes colors look very nice and blacks are deep. Also nice: the refresh rate is very high at 144Hz, even higher than the 90 and 120Hz displays that we normally see on Android smartphones.
Images and animations are therefore very smooth, although the difference with 120Hz is small. It is also possible to adjust the refresh rate, where you can choose from 60, 144Hz and Auto. With the latter, the refresh rate adjusts based on what is happening on the screen, but up to a maximum of 120Hz. However, this works fine.
There is hardly anything to criticize about the performance of the Edge 20 and Edge 20 Pro. The Edge has a Snapdragon 778G processor, the Edge 20 Pro a Snapdragon 870 chip – both with 5G support. The phones run all apps and games without any problems and are nice and fast. The Edge 20 Pro also has no less than 12GB of RAM, compared to 8GB for the normal 20.
The fingerprint scanner is located on the side of the devices, in the on/off button. This is a nice position and the scanner is fast and accurate. Also present is a physical button to call up the Google Assistant, but it is located too high in the housing and is therefore difficult to reach. Plus, there are faster ways to summon the smart sidekick.
Better update policy could be even better
The Motorola Edge 20 and Edge 20 Pro both run an almost bare version of Android 11. Motorola uses stock Android and puts its MyUX shell on top. This adds a number of options – mainly to adjust the appearance of Android – but otherwise the software resembles that of Google Pixels, for example.
A very important improvement is that Motorola has addressed its update policy. While many of the company’s smartphones can only count on one major Android version update and two years of security patches, the Edge 20 and Edge 20 Pro are updated much more often.
The company promises that the Edge phones will get two major Android upgrades (to Android 12 and 13) and three years of monthly security patches. These will not only appear longer, but also more often because Motorola previously opted for one update per quarter. All in all, this is a big step forward, although there are still manufacturers who do better when it comes to updates.
Cameras: just zoom
When it comes to cameras, we see a number of striking choices from Motorola, especially with the Edge 20 Pro. This smartphone has a periscopic zoom lens, with which you can optically zoom in up to 5x. In other words: zoom in without loss of quality. The Pro is the first (and so far only) Motorola phone to have this feature. The regular Edge 20 also has a normal telephoto lens, which goes up to 3x optical zoom.
In addition, both smartphones have a 108 megapixel main camera and 16 megapixel wide-angle lens. You can also use the latter for macro photos and because the resolution is high, the snapshots look great. This is different with many Android phones: they have a separate macro camera of 2 or 5 megapixels, but the photos that come out of this are virtually unusable.
The camera performance of the Motorola Edge 20 and Edge 20 Pro is okay. The devices take beautiful photos, and they look best when there is a lot of daylight. This especially applies to the (periscopic) zoom lens, because it has a more difficult time in the dark. In poorer lighting conditions, the 108 megapixel main camera does well, partly thanks to the night mode.
5x optical zoom
The special zoom lens of the Motorola Edge 20 Pro is a nice feature, but in our opinion not a reason to choose the smartphone. Zoomed photos generally look fine, but regularly lack sharpness and certainly do not match the pictures produced by, for example, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. This phone, on the other hand, is a lot more expensive.
We can be brief about the 16 megapixel wide-angle lens: it does its job well. Zoomed out photos look neat, although you can see a difference in detail compared to the snapshots that the main camera takes – but that is often the case. The 32 megapixel selfie camera takes sharp self-portraits and is therefore suitable.
Battery life and fast charging
The Motorola Edge 20 has a 4000 mAh battery, while the Edge 20 Pro has to make do with a 4500 mAh battery. In 2021, this is below average and the battery of the regular Edge 20 in particular is quite limited. The endurance of the smartphone is not great, but it is enough to get through the day.
The Edge 20 Pro has a better battery life and will last two days if you take it very slowly. However, most people will have to charge the device after a day and a half. Charging takes place at 30 Watts, which is nice, but not super fast. Devices such as the OnePlus 9 (Pro), Nord 2 and Xiaomi 11T, for example, do this with 60 Watts or more.
Despite this, Motorola phones don’t take that long to charge. The regular Edge 20 is completely full after an hour of power due to the smaller battery. The Edge 20 Pro takes a little longer, but that makes sense given the larger battery. It is a pity that wireless charging is missing, even on the Edge 20 Pro, which costs 699 euros.
Conclusion Motorola Edge 20 (Pro) review
We are quite positive about the Motorola Edge 20 and Edge 20 Pro. The Edge 20 in particular is a good deal: for the 450 euros you pay, you get an excellent screen, good performance, a sleek design and excellent cameras. Combine this with Motorola’s improved update policy, and you have a nice Android phone.
The Edge 20 Pro is a lot more expensive and is therefore more difficult to recommend. Also because the periscopic zoom lens does not add much, it is not much faster than its cheaper brother and we also see devices in this price segment that, for example, charge more quickly and receive more updates. Nevertheless, the Edge 20 phones are great options if you are looking for a fast and full-featured Android smartphone.

Motorola Edge 2022 official: large battery, fast screen and latest chip
The 2022 Motorola Edge has been officially announced. The midrange device has excellent specifications and a sleek design. It has the latest chip and lasts a long time on a single battery charge.
Motorola Edge 2022 officially announced
There it is: the new Motorola Edge 2022. It has been announced and has great specifications. For now, the device will only be released in the United States, but there is a good chance that Motorola will also bring the Edge 2022 to Europe. Possibly under a different name, but nothing is known about this yet.
These are the specifications
The Motorola Edge 2022 has the latest MediaTek chip, the Dimensity 1050. This means the device achieves extra fast 5G speeds. The chip is not the most powerful processor and less fast than, for example, the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 from Qualcomm, but that is not surprising. After all, this Edge 2022 is in the mid-range segment.
The new Edge has a 6.6-inch AMOLED screen on the front. This has a high brightness and can display colors extra clearly. The screen also has a refresh rate of 144Hz. This makes it feel extra fast compared to a 60Hz or 90Hz screen. We don’t see 144Hz very often on smartphones in this price segment.
The Edge 2022 has a 5000 mAh battery. According to Motorola, the smartphone lasts two days without having to be charged. We are curious to see what this will be like in practice. The Edge charges with a maximum of 30 Watts. That’s fine, but not as fast as some competitors.
The Edge has a 32 megapixel selfie camera on the front. Furthermore, the smartphone has three cameras, including a 50-megapixel main camera. According to Motorola, it has the ‘fastest and best autofocus ever’. There is also a 13-megapixel wide-angle lens for wide shots, while the depth sensor helps take portrait photos.
Android 12, price and availability
The Motorola Edge 2022 runs on an almost bare-bones version of Android 12 out of the box. Android 13 was recently released for Google Pixel phones. Eventually, this latest version will also come to the Motorola Edge. The device will probably receive two major Android updates and three years of security updates.
As mentioned earlier, the Motorola Edge 2022 will first only come to the United States. The entry-level model costs around 500 euros there. You get 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage space. There is also a more expensive 8/256GB variant. It is not yet known whether and when the phone will come to the Netherlands.

There is a major disruption to internet banking at the Dutch bank ABN Amro. Many reports are made via Allestoringen about problems with arranging financial matters via the internet. The question remains how long the disruption will last.
Update – Outage over
The disruption is now over and you can breathe a sigh of relief if you are registered with ABN Amro. The malfunction has been resolved and you can now use internet banking again.
Between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. there is a peak in reports made via Allestoringen. In a short time, there were more than 200 reports of problems with ABN Amro’s internet banking. This counter is still increasing. It must be stated that Allestoringen does not always have its finger on the pulse of malfunctions by means of a sampling system.
There is no mention of a malfunction on the official site of the Dutch bank. SamaGame has also tested whether there is a malfunction and received the following message when attempting to log in: MESSAGE-WEB000-999. This indicates that it is a technical error, which makes it appear to be a malfunction.
Internet banking malfunction with ABN status
It is currently unclear how long the outage will last. When there is more clarity about this, we will update this message.
Users of the Huawei P30 and Huawei P30 Pro can expect a new update at any time. The update brings the August security patch along with some improvements.
Update version 9.1.0.193 brings a new security patch that addresses some vulnerabilities in the operating system. In addition, some improvements have been added. The smartphone receives, among other things, a new night mode for the selfie camera. This means you can now also take beautiful selfies in dark environments. In addition, Huawei has added a video editing function to the gallery app.
The update is approximately 245MB in size and will be rolled out in phases to the Huawei P30 and P30 Pro. You will receive a notification as soon as the update is ready for your device.
One of the most popular brands from East Asia is Xiaomi, with two very well-positioned subbrands such as Redmi and POCO. This second protagonist He left us very good memories with his first terminalthe nostalgic Poco F1 that we put to the test in 2023.
And they didn’t do anything wrong with the Poco F3, which became great value for money in one of the unbeatables until relatively recently. Well, unfortunately, your medium It seems to be reaching the end of the road, after two years receiving updates.
The POCO F3 says goodbye to the new version of Android, although Xiaomi will continue updating it
He support and years of updates They are gradually gaining more interest from users who worry that the device for which they pay hundreds of euros stays up to date with updates. Xiaomi and its MIUI do not have a good reputation in relation to this aspect, and it seems that they have already gotten to work, offering 4 years of updates for a specific model.
The next software updates for the POCO F3 will not bring Android 14. Image | SamaGame
As a rule, Xiaomi updates its devices during two years, bringing the new versions of MIUI and Android closer in this period. After going on the market with Android 11, and updating first to Android 12 and then to Android 13, the legendary Poco F3 says goodbye to the imminent Android 14. The next Google update has already been announced by manufacturers such as Samsung or OnePlus, with betas ready to test, and awaiting Google’s starting signal.
Thus, the POCO smartphone would not have new functions such as the new predictive “Back” gesture, at least not from the base of the system. Because really, it could inherit many of its features as long as they are included in the future MIUI 15 that we will soon see.
In addition to the aforementioned POCO terminal, two Xiaomi devices are added to the list: the Xiaomi 12X and Xiaomi 10S. As we say, just because they run out of future versions of the Google system does not mean that the manufacturer will not update its customization layer.
Therefore, we can expect a version of MIUI 15 running on Android 13. Furthermore, as we read in Xiaomiui, a couple of compilations have been spotted that correspond to this duality, so Xiaomi would already be working so that the union between MIUI-Android improves the user experience.
This case now leads us to another question: What will happen to the Poco F4? And the truth is that the only thing we have so far is uncertainty. We can have a little more hope as it has been on the market for a year less, but its similarities make it another possible candidate.
Be that as it may, we must be patient until, first, we know the final version of Android 14, and later, we discover Xiaomi’s plans with this update. That will be when all doubts will be clarified and we will know if the Chinese manufacturer’s policy regarding support has changed.
Since the US sanctions in 2019, there has been a lot of uncertainty about the rollout of future Android updates for Huawei smartphones. However, there are now rumors going around that speak of an Android 11 update for the Huawei P30 and the P30 Pro.
Because Huawei has been blacklisted by the US government, the Chinese manufacturer is no longer allowed to collaborate with Google. As a result, Huawei is currently unable to market new Android smartphones that use Google services. The future of Android updates for existing smartphones also does not look bright, because people outside China attach great importance to applications such as Gmail, Maps and YouTube. The absence of these Google services in future Android updates will not be appreciated by users.
However, Huawei is still working on Android updates. Huawei previously indicated that the manufacturer will continue to work on security updates and customer service for existing Android smartphones. The manufacturer also indicated that the Huawei P30 and Huawei P30 Pro will receive an Android 10 update. However, according to the German website SmartDroid, Huawei will also roll out an Android 11 update.
Following an earlier message about the P30 series, a Huawei PR employee reportedly contacted the website. This employee indicated that the Huawei P30 will be updated to Android 11. This is remarkable since Huawei has been working on its own operating system Harmony OS 2.0 for some time. However, this operating system is based on Android 10. Information about Huawei and Android 11 has not surfaced before. We therefore wonder whether Huawei has indeed been working hard behind the scenes on an Android 11 update or whether this message may be incorrect.
Everything comes to an end, including the content supply of Ubisoft’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint. According to the French publisher, it is time to close the book and there will be no more updates.
And with that comes an end to Ghost Recon Breakpoint’s tumultuous career. The tactical shooter, released in 2019, received quite a bit of criticism from day one, something that Ubisoft has wanted to correct all along. But this cannot be maintained indefinitely either. Operation Motherland – the latest content update – was therefore the swan song for this Ghost Recon offspring.
Hey Ghosts, we have an important message we would like to share with you all ? pic.twitter.com/kYeyVWVtgi
— Ghost Recon (@GhostRecon) April 5, 2022
Now that Ubisoft has decided to leave Ghost recon Breakpoint for what it is, people can finally do some self-reflection. Because yes, things are not really going well at Ubi. According to CEO Yves Guillemot, Breakpoint was really a progression killer that significantly hindered the launch of Watch Dogs Legion, Immortals: Fenyx Rising and Rainbow Six Extraction. Anyway, fortunately all three became hard blockbusters.
But really, Ubisoft is having a hard time. Every time someone comes up with something new and innovative, we slam it. First that battle royale outing called Ghost Recon Frontline, which was thrown straight into the trash, then that NFT thing called Quartz that Ubi believes is too simple for us. Not to mention that alleged dirty talk that Yves reportedly turns a blind eye to. You will be the boss…
Oddworld: Soulstorm has been available since last week and we have been working hard on updates for the game since then. For example, update 1.06 was released quite recently and, among other things, addressed the AI in the game. In the same message it became clear that the next update 1.07 was coming and it is now available for download.
This update makes short work of a number of bugs and issues. The AI is again improved and this time it is specifically about Sligs. A number of things related to the menu and options will also be adjusted. Below you can read all the changes to update 1.07.
Update 1.07 for Oddworld: Soulstorm
Mudokons now throw given items at Sligs after dying and reloading a save
Improvements to Slig AI
Spender statistic can now be improved on repeated playthroughs
Fixed control lockup in levels with many flares
Door interaction is now prioritized over pickpocketing
Mudokon Followers will follow Abe regardless of how far Abe gets from them
Restart Level from the Pause Menu now has a confirmation step
Fixed Sawblade getting stuck in the down position in Necrum, which was blocking progress
The Good Ending video will now play when conditions are right
Explosions now explode more reliably
Cured Mudokon followers no longer show prompt to be Healed a second time when hit by Sligs
Removed option to Continue to the next level from the End of Level Summary screen when in Level Select mode. This was a bug, Level Select mode is supposed to be self-contained levels!
Tweaked cover in The Blimp level so that it is easier to avoid being hit
Rebalanced Slig Mama to make it easier to complete the Hijack the Train level.
Changed the counter for savable Mudokons in The Ruins so that it now shows the correct figure of 200.
The game will no longer crash when run on systems set to Arabic.
Owners of a PlayStation 5 can get a new update today. Sony has released a new PS5 update, which brings many changes.
As has been the case with many previous PS5 firmware updates, Sony is once again keeping the latest patch secret. According to the publisher, update 22.01-05.02.00 ensures that the ‘system performance of the PlayStation 5 is improved’. It is not clear what exactly the update changes.
Order the PS5 DualSense controller now in new colors!
But the update that PS5 owners can now download is more than one patch, because the update is twofold. The other PS5 update, 22.01-05.00.00 brings many changes, as can be read in the patch notes.
What does the PS5 update add?
For example, Game Base is now divided into three different tabs, namely Friends, Parties and Messages. If you’re wondering what Parties are exactly, those are voice chats, because Sony has changed the name with the patch. With the update it is now also possible to start an open party or closed party, where only people you have invited can come to a closed party.
Check here where you can buy the PS5!
Sony has also made finding and rejecting friends a bit easier. For example, you can search for friends and now find them under the Friends tab. A Decline button has now been added if you don’t want them as a friend in your list.
To make the PlayStation 5 as accessible as possible, Sony has also added a number of options. For example, the screen reader has been given six new languages, including Dutch. In addition, you can now control your PS5 with your voice, if you enable the option, by first saying “Hey, PlayStation!” to call. That feature was tested earlier this year with certain users.
Fallout 4 was released in 2015 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, among others. This title can also be played on current-gen consoles through backwards compatibility. That will change.
Bethesda has on the Fallout website namely stated that Fallout 4 will receive a free update sometime in 2023, aimed at the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. In other words, a current-gen upgrade.
If you play the game after installing the update, you will be able to play Fallout 4 in a higher frame rate or choose a 4K resolution mode. Many remaining bugs will also be addressed and additional Creation Club content will be added.
It’s been known for a while that CD Projekt RED is busy with another major update for Cyberpunk 2077, in addition to the Phantom Liberty expansion. We don’t know much more than that, but indications have now surfaced that the game update will be made available soon.
On Reddit is indicated that if you look at the Steam database of Cyberpunk 2077, it is noticeable that the game has been provided with several edits lately. Since these are so frequent, it is possible that we are working hard to adjust update 1.7 as much as possible after which it can be rolled out without any problems.
It is possible that we will be able to download the update soon and that is interesting, because version 1.7 will, among other things, overhaul the entire police system and major adjustments will be made in various gameplay areas.
Just under a day to start Season 1 of Diablo IV, Blizzard has released a patch that leaves virtually no stone unturned in the game; new unique itemstraits or aspects, better quality of life and especially the rebalancing are the main points of the game patch 1.1 from Activission-Blizzard.
Is about biggest game update to date, and it is not for less considering that it is destined to revitalize the ”High-End” content of the title while paving the way for future novelties. After reviewing its more than 500 changes to all the levels that it incorporates, these are its main novelties and additions to the last chapter of the Diablo saga.
Diablo IV Patch 1.1
Starting with the basics, the patch itself weighs 10 gigs and it should start downloading automatically as soon as you boot up Battle.net. In essence it contains a wide variety of bug fixes in events, side quests and abilities for all characters, too many to list in one entry without being tedious to read. But most importantly, it incorporates the content of the Season of Evil that starts on the day into the game client. July 20th.
The proof is that we can already see among our ”crafting” resources the icores that are obtained by recycling evil hearts. Regarding the rest of the changes, it is the biggest patch released so far, and it is divided into four large blocks of content:
Balance Updates
New Unique Items and Legendary Traits
Bug Fixes
game updates
You can check the notes for it in the official game bulletin on the Blizzard website, but we also want to highlight some notable notes in each one so that you know what you are going to find before getting into the game or reading the notes.
Balance Updates
Although it is the last section according to the notes, it is the most extensive and the one that contains the largest number of changes distributed among all the classes. In view of the unintentional damage values that Blizzard have observed in recent weeks, all classes have seen reduced efficiencies of affixes focused on critical hits, cooldowns, and stat bonuses for weapons. All this without counting the specific adjustments for each classwhich in many cases compensate for these reductions, but in general, there are “nerfs” at a general and specific level, not counting the changes for each class that have their own rebalancing.
Changes for each class have required their own subsections; don’t forget to check them to readjust your builds. Image – news.blizzard.com
Finally, they have included over 50 rebalances to all types of damage and reductions to compensate for the ”nerfs” contained at the beginning of this section, although they also affect the NPCs against us. The objective is to test how the game responds and the general balance to continue adjusting it for the future.
New Unique Items and Legendary Traits
Among the notable news, we find the new unique objects that are available for the classes of the game. The rarest of all is Ahavarion, the Lycander Spear; an ultra-rare unique staff that will only drop as a drop inl World Level 4. The developers already warn of the rarity of getting it. Regarding the rest of the objects, these are the ones that Patch 1.1 brings:
For the Barbarian: Heavenly Wrath (single sword); a two-handed weapon that adds a chance to freeze enemies for three seconds and deal the corresponding cold damage type
For the Druid: the Flesh Tear; a one-handed mace that empowers the Weakening Roar and Blood Howl abilities (will deal damage to nearby enemies)
For the Necromancer: Watcher’s Wall; a unique shield that works in conjunction with Bone Storm that knocks enemies outside of it and has a chance to spawn another storm.
For the Rogue: the eagle horn; a unique bow that gives a piercing shot a high chance that the arrow it shoots will bounce off walls or walls of the stage and that if it hits enemies from behind it makes them vulnerable.
For the Sorcerer: the oculus; Unique rod that grants the Teleportation evasion enchantment for free and allows us to move to a random location.
Accompanied by these novelties in the arsenal of the classes have also been introduced seven new traits or legendary skins to be acquired in Season 1 content. There are two generals (not exclusive to any class) and then one for each class:
daring trait
When there are at least 5 enemies nearby, you stun them for 2-4 seconds. It can only happen once every 20 seconds.

section of Error correction it is the second largest of this patch. There’s no area of the game that hasn’t received a fix, and while there weren’t too many bugs to hinder the experience, it’s appreciated that Blizzard would kindly iron out these minor bugs before Season 1 of the game arrives.
There is more than 120 arrangements distributed between the interface, the dungeons or events, cooperative play, traits, abilities, objects and others. As we have already said, it is best that consult the notes to be aware, but the good news is that if there was a mission or event that did not complete correctly, it probably will now.
Game Updates
It is undoubtedly the section that has generated the most interest in terms of progressing through the levels of the game. Despite the fact that the developers in their patch notes say they are satisfied with the most basic levels of the world, they have been modified some values in the levels of the enemy NPCs so that it is not so easy to eliminate them or get loot from them. At the same time, a limit to the level of monsters based on ours has now been implemented. At most we will find monsters that are five levels above ours, or below in the same proportion if we are close to the level cap of the world level in which we play, or four levels above or below when we are close to that limit .
To compensate for those changes, the experience and rewards gained from the whispers of the tree It has been significantly increased; it’s an incentive for players not to focus so much on just killing mobs and NPCs with their best builds and spend some time completing those activities; amen that now it will be more lucrative in order to get resources and materials. The Hell Tides they have also increased their risk reward ratio; NPCs will be more powerful in them and some gifts (chests with high quality items) will cost more aberrant favils to open. In contrast, all interactive items on the stage now have a higher chance to drop favils so they won’t be as time consuming to get.
Over the changes in quality of lifeThese are the most important and intended to pave the way for the start of Season 1:
Shrines of Lilith are now unlocked account-wide.
The map you’ve discovered is now unlocked account-wide.
Whispers will no longer reward Stealth Dust.
In general, the quality of loot from Silent Chests has improved significantly.
The leave dungeon ability channel time has been increased from 3s to 5s.
In general, we’ve reduced the tendency of many monsters to move around the battlefield so melee attacking characters don’t have to chase their enemies as much.
The PS5 Dual Sense Edge Wireless Controller is now compatible with PC.
All in all, all that remains is to put these novelties and changes into practice in the game and very soon in our fight against The Evil Ones in Season 1. If you want to know more about the game, you only have to consult our analysis of the game signed by Alberto Pastor, and we remind you that we have an extensive guide with which to help you fight lilith and the burning hells.
On the PlayStation 5, you can play almost any PlayStation 4 game via the console’s backwards compatibility feature. A good thing of course, but there turned out to be a small issue with streaming textures. Every now and then it could happen in certain games that textures were not loaded properly, which made it look a bit bare.
One of the games in which this can happen is Shadow of the Colossus, where some parts of the world were suddenly shown in low resolution. A small detail, given that it usually goes well. Still a point of attention for Sony, apparently, because this problem has been solved with the latest firmware update.
Gamers share across platforms including Reddit, differences that can be seen since the last firmware update. This suggests that Sony has made some adjustments to the back-end for backwards compatibility.
Star Wars Jedi Survivor comes out today, but Respawn Entertainment still has a lot of work to do. There are already ‘weeks worth of patches’ announced by EA.
Update – New patch for Star Wars Jedi Survivor
EA and Respawn Entertainment have released a new patch for Star Wars Jedi Survivor. The update is currently only for PC and should improve performance on the platform. A patch should also be released for the PS5 and Xbox Series X later today.
Earlier this year, it was decided to delay the release of Star Wars Jedi Survivor by six weeks. The reason for that was to give Respawn Entertainment more time to polish the game. The studio just needs more time to properly finish the new title.
EA announced via Twitter that the first patch is ready today, with several updates in the coming weeks. That is also not without reason. Although Star Wars Jedi Survivor is well put together in terms of gameplay and story, the performance of the game is not optimal.
Major patches needed for PC version
In our review we already mentioned that the performance on the PlayStation 5 leaves something to be desired, but the PC version of the game in particular still needs a lot of work. For example, the game takes up a lot of VRAM, so a PC with a very expensive Nvidia RTX 3080 TI in it cannot play Star Wars Jedi Survivor at 4K.
In addition, the power of the video card is not used optimally. According to the German SamaGame, it was not possible to achieve 60 FPS with an RTX 4090 at 1440p. The power of the video card was only used for 35 to 60 percent, while only 4 CPU threads were used out of the available 24!
Although Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a great game on consoles aside from some performance issues, the title’s condition on PC was a little less good at release. Over the past few weeks, Respawn Entertainment has been working on several updates and a new one appears today.
This update addresses some platform-specific issues, but also addresses issues common to all versions of the game. Below are the patch notes of the latest update, which are not very extensive in themselves. In addition, the developer has also indicated what is still being worked on.
(PC only) Updated occlusion behavior for ray tracing, reducing idle time stalls.
(PC only) Updated streaming budgets that will help alleviate traversal hitching.
(PC only) Performance improvements for some VFX (Coming soon to console)
(PC only) Updated data handling when toggling ray tracing, improving non-ray traced performance.

Fixed various save state errors.
Fixed a streaming issue that causes some streaming scenarios to end on a black screen.
Fixed an issue where one of the vents did not properly activate in Stone Spiers.

known issues
(PC only) Improving performance on newer i7 and i9 CPUs that have efficiency cores.
(PC only) General performance improvements to improve both CPU and GPU utilization while reducing idle time, both with and without ray tracing.
(PC only) Improving some hitching which can be attributed to streaming ray tracing data, assets, and a gap in our prebuilt shaders.
Respawn Entertainment has released several updates since the release of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Especially for the PC version, as it had quite a few performance issues. The game is now a lot more stable, but not everything has been solved yet.
That’s why a new update has now been released on both consoles and PC, although the list of patch notes is not too extensive. One of the main things the update does is fixes for pain points that could cause the game to crash.
All other details of this update can be found below as always.
