Cyberpunk 2077’s Microsoft store listing now has a warning for bugs

Posted: 18 Dec 2020 05:33 PM PST

Cyberpunk 2077's listing on Microsoft's digital games store now includes a label warning of potential performance issues on Xbox One. "Users may experience performance issues when playing this game on Xbox One consoles until this game is updated," the warning reads.

Players have observed numerous bugs and performance issues with Cyberpunk 2077 since its launch last week, especially on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The dissatisfaction led the company to quickly issue a statement suggesting that unhappy players try to get refunds for the game. Many players had trouble actually getting refunds, though, given Sony and Microsoft's typically strict policies for issuing refunds of digital games.

Since Thursday evening, though, that has...

Cyberpunk 2077's second promised hotfix is out for Xbox and PlayStation platforms. The PC version will follow "soon," according to developer CD Projekt Red. You can read the extensive list of fixes here.

While there doesn't seem to be anything quite as significant as the changes to reduce epilepsy risk made in last week's 1.04 hotfix, hopefully this new update will make what has been a very buggy game have a few less issues.

The game has been out for a little more than a week, and players have been criticizing the game for its numerous bugs and performance issues, particularly on older consoles. The outcry led to Sony offering full refunds of digital copies of the game and taking the unprecedented step of yanking the game from the...

Members of the United States Space Force will officially be called "Guardians", according to an announcement Vice President Mike Pence made at an event celebrating the military branch's one year anniversary.

The organization traces the name "Guardians" back to an old Air Force Space Command motto from 1983, "Guardians of the High Frontier," according to a short post on the US Space Force website. While a distinct entity, Space Force is part of the Air Force per its establishment with the National Defense Authorization Act.

As it exists today, Space Force is mostly a rebrand of Air Force Space Command, but with the authority to make decisions independent from the Air Force. Space Force personnel also mostly come from the Air Force, but...

The Food and Drug Administration authorized the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Moderna, which joins the Pfizer and BioNTech product as the second shot available for use in the United States.

The vaccine can now be given to adults 18 years of age and older in the US. It was 94 percent effective against symptomatic COVID-19 in clinical trials. The Moderna vaccine also protects against cases of severe disease: there were 30 cases of severe disease among trial participants, and all were in the placebo group. Initial data on the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine also indicated that it could protect against severe disease, but data was too limited to reach a definite conclusion.

"With the availability of two vaccines now for the prevention of...

Google now offers weekly COVID-19 tests to every US employee

90,000 Google employees have just received access to free weekly COVID tests. The Wall Street Journal first reported the news that every US Google employee (and its subsidiaries, including YouTube) will be eligible to sign up for a free at-home test. This differs from other companies, like Amazon, which are only offering tests to employees who still have to work in a physical location, like a retail location or warehouse.

This is apparently something Google employees are interested in, as the vendor's website crashed after going live. Employees are promised that they'll receive the test within two to four days of requesting one, and that they'll get the results back within two days of the lab receiving it.

According to the Wall Street...

Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto led a video tour of the company's Mario-themed Super Nintendo World attraction at Universal Studios Japan in Osaka during the company's latest Direct livestream.

The theme park looks to be packed with Mario iconography that will be familiar to Nintendo fans. Even the entrance Mario-themed: you enter the park by walking through a giant pipe that spits you out in the atrium of Princess Peach's castle that first debuted in Super Mario 64.

Miyamoto showed how you can you use a special smart wristband, called the "Power-Up Band," to interact with different parts of the zone. In one example, he punched a question mark block with the hand wearing the...

A Facebook bug exposed Instagram users’ personal email addresses and birthdays

When signing up for an Instagram account, the service promises that your email and birthday won't be publicly visible. A bug discovered by security researcher Saugat Pokharel, however, made it so that an attacker could easily get that private information. The bug, which was patched after being reported to Facebook, was exploitable by business accounts that were given access to an experimental feature the company was testing.

The attack used Facebook's Business Suite tool, available to any Facebook business account. The experimental upgrade meant that if a Facebook business account was linked to Instagram and was included in the test group, the Business Suite...

Today, we have another Galaxy S21 leak, which seems to confirm some of the specs that have been floating around, published by WinFuture. Information about and images of Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S21-series phones have been landing almost daily in the run-up to Samsung's January event. With this newest leak, we now have a better idea of what to expect — especially in the camera department. In short, the hardware appears to be a big part of Samsung's plan to take on the highly capable iPhone 12 Pro Max.

The S21 Ultra will reportedly offer 3x and 10x telephoto cameras (72mm and 240mm equivalent focal lengths, respectively), both with optical image stabilization. That's one additional rear-facing camera compared to the S20 Ultra's three rear...

Boeing and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) worked together to manipulate 737 Max recertification tests following two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019, according to a damning new Senate report. Boeing "inappropriately coached" some FAA test pilots to reach a desired outcome during the recertification tests, and some were even performed on simulators that weren't equipped to re-create the same conditions as the crashes.

In doing this, the Senate report's authors say the "FAA and Boeing were attempting to cover up important information that may have contributed to the 737 MAX tragedies."

The FAA is also accused of retaliating against whistleblowers, possibly obstructing...

A China-based former Zoom employee is being charged with harassment for allegedly disrupting video calls commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. Brooklyn federal prosecutors unsealed a case against Xinjiang (also known as Julien) Jin today. The complaint doesn't identify Jin's employer, but Zoom published a blog post acknowledging that it employed him.

According to the complaint, Jin was a liaison between Zoom and Chinese law enforcement and intelligence services. He allegedly used this position to target dissidents and activists both inside and outside the People's Republic of China, collecting account information and disrupting meetings. "The allegations in the complaint lay bare the Faustian bargain that the PRC government...
