Dragon Age: The Veilguard is getting new photo mode options and a slew of bug fixes in the latest update

If you want Back With , there are some nice quality of life changes and bug fixes in the latest update that went survive November 21, 2024. I’ll break them down below to let you already know what you are getting into.
Photo mode updates
Photo mode now has filters! And if you happen to do not know where images go in Photo Mode, wonder no more: the file path is now displayed in-game when taking screenshots, and filenames are simplified (with the date appended). You can now also bind arrow keys to input mappings.
Gameplay changes
Gameplay-wise, you’ll be able to now compare the new rings to the currently equipped rings in the slot, and the description for the Flash option is barely different. Some weapons have new icons to make it easier to tell them apart and make it easier to see where your companion’s spells are.

Extended dodge won’t be weirdly buggy with Mage’s Tower either. Some ability texts have been modified to be clearer (and accurate), and Antaam Champions deal barely more damage (as intended) and cases where enemies and teammates would get stuck in inaccessible places. Speaking of fixes, this brings us to the bugs that Patch 3 goals to eliminate.
Bug fixes
All kinds of bug fixes are included, but not all of them can have obvious or significant effects. The overall focus is on fixing issues encountered during cutscenes, interacting with meshes and polygons, in addition to some extremely minor balance adjustments to get certain elements working as intended.
In more detail, Rook will not suddenly change body shape or make strange facial expressions during or after certain cutscenes. Other cutscene issues have also been fixed, including strange stretchy capes and clothes showing through the character. The patch also addresses situations where music randomly stopped playing or incorrect sound effects or songs were playing.

Camera popup and stutter issues have also been fixed, and preferred HDR settings will now (finally) be saved accurately.
Fixed issues with the Codex, skill trees, quests, merchant inventory, quest objectives and cinematics, exploration, autosave loading, really shiny visuals, stat buffs, and weapon modifiers.
As a little bonus, some of the characters and environment textures have been tweaked to look higher.
There’s plenty to do in Thedas, and with this update landing, your journey should go a little smoother. Go back there, Rook, and test out that photo mode for me.
Full patch notes will be found on the website official blog post. BioWare has confirmed that one other patch may even be coming, with more details to be revealed soon.

Here is the emperor from Star Wars holding an assault rifle in Fortnite


I wanted to share with you. The image above is a real screenshot There is Darth Sidious, i.e. the emperor, or Sheev Palpatine from holding the assault rifle. I thought you would want to see it, so I share with you.
I really don’t have any more to add. I think I should give some context. On Friday he started the latest season in the game. As may indicate the above image of Palpatin with a assault rifle, The new season is –. And our old friend, the emperor, was added to the constantly developing list of characters. This means that the emperor can land and kill Goku with a shotgun. We live in a strange world, huh?
To unlock Emperor Palpatine, you must reach the seventh new battle pass. He is the last great reward. You can also unlock its lego version. This one cannot hold the gun, but he can hold swords, blasters and bows. This is cool. You can also unlock the red version of the emperor as you can see . I prefer his old black robes, but from each of them.
It seems to me that when I actually have you here, I should mention that each one characters which are added may also accommodate assault rifles. There are rumors that the C-3PO could also be added to the game soon. If so, he may even give you the option to load and shoot with pistols. It’s wild.
If this happens, I will try to remember to update this blog and provide their image. Until then, enjoy this image of the emperor from holding the assault rifle.

Polygon sold to Valt and hit with mass layoffs (update)

She learned that the video game website was sold to Click-Farm Powerhouse, and a big a part of her Masthead was released. Sales were later Announced in a press release. Many employees have published online concerning the loss of labor or that colleagues are out of labor.
“I am no longer with. If you employ, consider many talented writers and editors on the market”, ” Sent co -founder and EIC Chris Plante. “Each of them deserves a spot in your staff. I won’t discuss selling more because I used to be not involved. I intend to spend time with my child. Win where I can.”
The sale was confirmed in a press release, which didn’t mention the discharge. The price of the contract has not been disclosed. Sources say that the deputy editor Maddy Myers and the Games editor Zoë Hannah belong to those that remain in Polygon. Editor -in -chief Chelsea Stark He said the releases including over 20 employees. Vox Media didn’t answer immediately on the request for comment.
“I’ll say more later, but I haven’t got a job anymore” Common older reporter Nicole Carpenter. “I’m on the lookout for a job, like lots of my amazing colleagues. I actually have many ideas and things that I would love to write. I’m really shocked.” “I had a terrific time at work” Senior author Michael McWherttor. “Let me know if you’ve any cool job offers!”
Established in 2012 in VOX Media, the site quickly became one of the most important points of sale of original reviews, reports and cultural analysis in the world of games. The coverage of video games, movies, television, comics and board games is one of the best, while its sensitivity to the future of design has helped to raise the way of presentation and online stories.
Valtt is based in Montreal and works and other mass aggregators. The company is run by Hassan Youssefa, which started its digital media with porn websites. “Adding a polygon not only strengthens our editorial muscles, but in addition strengthens our ability to provide unparalleled value to each recipients and advertisers,” said Youssef in a press release.
In the report at the start of this 12 monthsMany former colleagues accused the present media resources of Valet of being a exploiting content of content. “There is basically bad work in journalism. And then there’s a spot like Valt,” said a former colleague. “(This) considered one of the worst places I actually have ever worked and might be considered one of the worst publications of journalism I’ve ever seen.”
Valt replied to the investigation through the position Because defamation claims that reporting was filled with mistakes and caused the founding father of the corporate “Huge emotional stress, influencing (amongst others) his mood, temperament and sleep ability”.
Wox Media Union blew up sales and exemptions that took place when it is marked in the next contract. “Probably much more demoralizing is the choice of VOX Media to sell a praised game site to an organization known from alleged conditions of exploitation and devaluation of rigorous journalism for the raising of content”, IT, IT wrote in a press release. “Lack of respect VOX Media for the fame of Polygon within the media of games, labor and passion of staff and a solid community of players and fans who support him couldn’t be more clear.”
The: “Losing to such an organization just isn’t only a loss for Vox Media, but for our industry and online culture as a complete. From a sustainable development perspective, there is no such thing as a financial or long -term sense and says concerning the lack of care and consideration for this company and its staff.”
Update 5/1/2025 17:06 ET: VOX SVP Chris Grant, which he founded, shared insight into the contract and the frustration is visible on BlueSky. “14 years ago I threw what is going to occur to a startup polygon called Sports Blogs Inclas on the undeading third floor of the DC tenement house,” he wrote. “I kept my laptop on my lap and went through the deck. Today the identical company – now called Vox Media – Sold Polygon to Valet.”
He continued: “Their press message proudly calls Polygon” Publication of Premium games “, but Valet literally refused to meet me or answer one query during this process. They were extremely optional as to how the publication of games even becomes “premium”. Really (!) I hope that the remaining POLYGON team has a likelihood to proceed working, which everyone was so cared about!
“My most honest thanks to the whole team, I’m so sorry, everything ended.”

13 things we learned about Borderlands 4 after today’s great event


Today we learned loads more about During about 20 minutes, PlayStation State of Play dedicated only to Gearbox and the upcoming continuation of science-fi booty shooter.
The announced last 12 months is to be launched on September 12. This date is barely sooner than previously announced and leaked yesterday By Genera Gearbox, Randy Pitchford just a few hours before the disclosure of official messages. Since then, Pitchford claimed that changing the discharge date of the sport has nothing to do with other games corresponding to Or Regardless of this, the shooter of the shells comes out sooner than expected, so it is smart that Gearbox wanted to indicate him due to the brand new PlayStation games.
April 30 Sony broadcast a 2-minute deep immersion game In which we learned far more about the upcoming FPS. Here are 13 key information from the event.
- Pitchford claims that he could have a more “grounded tone” that can return to the unique game.
- Two latest hunters in the sport received names and we learned more about them. Vex is a robust mermaid with a ghost-thistle, which he can stroke and use in battle. Rafa is a former Tediore soldier who uses advanced technology throughout the fighting.
- He is embedded on Cairos, a brand new planet who was previously controlled and hidden by a mysterious alien generally known as a magazine. However, just a few years before the beginning of the sport, the dishonest moon crashed on the planet and caused quite a lot of chaos. (OG Lilith may very well be involved in it …)
- The looter’s behavior will support Cross Gromplay throughout the premiere. It can even will let you play a divided C0-OP screen of two players. While twiddling with others you’ll have the opportunity to set your personal difficulty, and all of the loot can be installed, so that they don’t steal the gun between friends.
- Cairos could have 4 huge zones that players can freely explore without charging screens. In the mission we saw during a demo, latest hunters infiltrated a secret black research facility with the characters of the Armata.
- You can now move on large gaps and use Zipline lines at some points during exploration or during a fight. Gearbox confirmed that sliding, double jumps and destruction have also returned.
- Players could have access to “Digirunner”, a vehicle that appears very much like Wróbel. These are one -man pillows, to which you’ll be able to be reborn at any time on the planet.
- During the exploration of Cairos you’ll discover silos. These are locations that aren’t related to side tasks, but work more like such activities that may be seen in a great game within the open world
- Most weapons manufacturers from previous games, corresponding to Tediore and Jakobs, are back. But this time the weapon may be welded with “licensed parts”. So Jakobs can have a distinct brand or barrel brand, which may change the way in which it shoots or the variety of damage attributable to him. This will make you extremely unique loot, which you can see in games much more diverse.
- Speaking of loot, Gearbox has converted how often rare loot falls and guarantees that legends can be less frequent and more powerful than in. You can even have the opportunity to unlock improvements that could make some brands more powerful.
- They will contain missions to repay and fight bosses, which should facilitate than ever grinding specific loot.
So yes, we learned loads! And I’m excited, seeing more games between now and her (sooner than planned) premiere on September 12. On PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Switch 2.
