Watch Dogs 2 Modders Hate The Game's Final Patch. Watch Dogs 2 got its final patch today, which makes impossible to use mods while online if you’re playing on PC. The game’s publisher, Ubisoft, says that this is to ensure fair online play, but the game’s small modding community is very frustrated. The 1. 1. 7 patch wasn’t announced as a modding blocker. The features rolled out in it include tweaks to the recently- added four- player party mode, as well as bug fixes for co- op. Shortly after it was released, some modders noticed and began to complain.

If Watch Dogs 2 had been the blockbuster Ubisoft hoped it to be, that complaint might be loud, but instead it manifests as less noticeable venting on places like the increasingly barren Watch Dogs 2 subreddit. There, loyalists who stuck with the game expressed their anger.“As of this morning, I found out that the latest update on PC killed modding,” Deebz__, an active and vocal Watch Dogs 2 modder, posted on the subreddit this morning. Any positivity from my original message has been rescinded. Instead, I’ll just leave you with the list of a few issues in this utter mess of a game that you have failed to fix.” He listed a half dozen issues, including players on the opposite team being unmarked or marked as “friendly” during multiplayer modes and the game outright crashing when you shoot people.

Deebz__’s favorite mod allows players to use the camera mode while in the helicopter. Deebz__ says he helped “pave the way” for modding Watch Dogs 2 and remembers multiplayer for the original Watch Dogs as being a “lawless wasteland,” with most players using mods to cheat. He says that he and his fellow modders use their mods ethically. Only a few of us know how to mod the game properly, and we’ve all agreed to use our knowledge ethically,” he told Kotaku over reddit direct messages.

We only play online with mods that do not give us an advantage, and we never released anything that could be used to cheat.”According to those players, modding was a means to having a smoother gaming experience. Ubisoft, however, says modding has also at times hurt online play.“Though we appreciate that many in our community are very careful about not using mods while being online, this isn’t true of all players,” Kris Young, producer on Watch Dogs 2, told Kotaku over email. In order to create a healthy and fair environment for all our players, we had to fix this problem. You can now still enjoy your favorite mods while playing offline and disabling the [Easy Anti- Cheat] system (though we can’t offer official support for this) or enjoy a more fair online experience when playing online with your friends.”Even knowing they can still use mods, this isn’t an acceptable solution for members of the modding community.

Watch Dogs 2, like its predecessor, has passive online modes where other players can invade your game, as well as Pv. P multiplayer, all set in the game’s shared open world.

Considering how few of us there are who actually do mod the game, and the fact that we do not release or even use any mods that give unfair advantages online, there really was no reason for this change in my opinion.”Deebz__ was an obvious person to talk to for coverage of Ubisoft’s mod- blocking patch, because Deebz__ has been visible in discussions about this game. He is the kind of outspoken gamer who uses the tools available to him to tell developers how they can improve their game. When he noticed a problem with the escape key being bound to too many functions in the game, he didn’t just complain about it on reddit, he typed out changes to the game’s code that he said would solve the issue and posted them for Ubi reps who monitor the game’s subreddit to see.“A Ubisoft representative told me that they would not fix this issue because it would allow players to skip scenes in the story that they were not supposed to skip, breaking the game in some cases,” he told Kotaku. He insists that his solution was totally fine. I can say this with absolute certainty, because I actually played through the entire story a second time after using this fix, and skipped just about everything I could in the process.”Deebz__’s problem now may be that Ubisoft says they can’t distinguish between mods that help players cheat and mods that don’t.

This solution was a compromise they had to make, Young told Kotaku. It’s a topic that has been on our minds since it was raised by community members who visited the studio well before the game launched,” Young said. We’ve come back to it several times since, but with the nature of our seamless technology, it’s a tradeoff we had to make to maintain healthy and fair online play.”.

Apple i. Phone Day 2. Cheat Sheet: What to Expect [Updated]Apple’s i.

Phone event is coming up fast, and we’re expecting Tim Cook and company to announce far more than just some new handsets. Here’s a quick primer. The event kicks off at 1. PM ET/1. 0AM PT on Tuesday September 1. Steve Jobs Theater. You can watch it live on Apple’s website, and as always, we’ll be liveblogging like maniacs starting about an hour or so before the event.[Update 9/1. AM] After a massive leak over the weekend, a lot more info has come out about the new i.

Phones and the Apple Watch, so we’ve updated our story with the latest details. Phone: Three new devices on the way. As 2. 01. 7 marks the 1. Anniversary of the i. Phone, the hype and anticipation for Apple’s upcoming phones have reached heights we haven’t really seen since Jobs passed away.

Based on info found in a leaked version of the the final build of i. OS, Apple is planning on refreshing its current models with the new i. Phone 8 and 8 Plus, completely skipping the traditional “s” naming scheme that Apple’s past history would have suggested. These models will sport Apple’s new A1. Phone 6 and 7. But the i. Phone that’s getting all the attention is the third, super premium model dubbed the i. Phone X. Rumored features on the 5.

Phone X include a new portrait lighting photo mode, a bezel- less OLED screen, facial recognition, upgraded dual rear cameras, and more. Home. Pod: How deep is Siri tied in? Apple already announced its foray into the world of digital assistant- enhanced home speakers back at WWDC 2.

Apple’s Home. Pod preview was on its audio quality. On Tuesday, we expect Apple to announce additional info on how tightly the Home. Pod will be integrated with Siri, and what it can and can’t do before it hits stores later this December. Apple Watch: Same basic design, but with one notable new feature. Gotham Saison 1 Episode 11 Streaming here. Apple keeps soldiering on with the Apple Watch, adding new features and functions to its wrist mounted i.

Phone companion. While reports haven’t mentioned of a completely overhauled model, there have been pretty substantial claims saying Apple will introduce the Apple Watch Series 3 with new 4. G LTE connectivity. This would make the Watch much more useful when your phone isn’t nearby, especially for people hoping to use the Apple Watch as a standalone fitness tracker. We expect the big news for Apple TV to come in the form of an updated model with support for 4. K video. This would be a welcome addition as the current Apple TV is limited to 1.

Now that Apple reportedly has $1 billion earmarked towards the creation of original content, it’s even more important that Apple TV owners watch those new shows in ultra high- def. OS 1. 1: Bringing augmented reality to the masses. After having been in beta for months, Apple will almost surely announce when the final version of i. OS 1. 1 will be officially available.

OS 1. 1 includes a number of new features such as improved Live Photos, more room for storage thanks to better compression, a new version of i. Message, revamped notifications and more.

But the most interesting thing about i. OS1. 1 could be its integration with ARKit, Apple’s new augmented reality platform. ARKit gives developers a powerful and easy way to build AR apps without all the stringent hardware requirements of Google’s failed Tango platform. OS 1. 1 will also give i. Pad owners something to look forward to as it brings a number of welcome improvements including an expanded Dock, a new App Switcher and the Drag and Drop, which will finally let users copy and paste text, links and files between various apps.

Apple Pencil support is also getting expanded thanks to new the Instant Markup and Instant Note features. Mac. OS: High Sierra should be out soon. Apple is also giving its desktop OS a facelift with the cheekily named mac. OS High Sierra. Like i.

OS 1. 1, High Sierra has been in beta since the spring, but we’re expecting Apple to announce an official release date for the new version of mac. OS on Tuesday as well.

High Sierra won’t include any huge upfront changes, but when it’s finally ready, you’ll be able to enjoy improved versions of Safari and Photos, along with a number of under- the- hood upgrades such as the new Apple File System (APFS) and support for Apple’s Metal 2 graphics API. Airpods: Maybe a longshot, but a refresh would be nice. In 2. 01. 6, Apple released its first wireless earbuds, and even though I think they look a lot like Apple simply cut the wires off its standard Ear. Pods, over the past 1. Air. Pods have become some of the most popular wireless headphones around. While there haven’t been a ton of rumors discussing the Air. Pods, a patent granted to Apple mentions biometric sensors built- into the buds.

That could provide users with more accurate health and fitness tracking.
