  • Xenophage, The Destiny 2 Machine Gun With A Bug In It, Is Also Bugged

    Xenophage, The Destiny 2 Machine Gun With A Bug In It, Is Also Bugged

    Xenophage is the latest weapon introduced in Destiny 2. After its launch last week, it is now available for both free users and for those who bought Shadowkeep for Xbox One and the Season of the Undying. Besides the Xenophage machine gun, paid players received other benefits as well.

    Xenophage’s magazine capacity is not very high, but it can fire explosive rounds at enemies terrifyingly. It can manage to send out the rounds with a swiftness that will send you reeling. However, despite the addition of a new weapon and its features, players are not very happy. Gamers noticed that the damage inflicted by Xenophage is not really explosive. Most power weapons in Destiny 2 would be a better choice to inflict real damage than the recently released Xenophage.

    The weapon is not bad, but it has not been designed right. Destiny 2’s makers, Bungie, did more mean to make it a superweapon and only had plans of making it an effective option. However, this bugged weapon is less effective than they had bargained for. While Bungie has not mentioned any timeline for the fix, the company is working on it and it should be available pretty soon.

    The Bug and its History

    Once the players starting using the gun, they wasted no time in deciding that the gun is not working properly. The fact of the matter is that there literally is a bug in the gun (in the Destiny Universe, of course). Omar Agah, a member of Eris Morn’s doomed fireteam, was destroyed by the Hive. However, he did not actually die a true death. The Hive took his Light, and his soul and mind ended in the space that powers the Xenophage.

    With regards to its underperformance, Bungie community manager made a statement that the lack of precision damage was intentional. So, does it mean that Xenophage is a bug gun without bugs? Don’t confuse yourself. We went through Reddit discussions to see what is happening.

    Reddit Discussion

    After users started unlocking Xenophage, players started noticing that the Exotic light machine gun was not really doing its job right. It was not dealing out precision damage. Deep discussions got started on Reddit where players shared their experiences. Bungie’s community manager, Cozmo23, wrote, “I checked with the team on this. The fact that Xenophage does not do precision damage is not a bug and by design. However, the weapon is unintentionally underperforming and we are currently investigating.”

    This answer threw some light on Bungie’s bug-filled machine gun which was created by design. The community manager also mentioned that although the weapon has been designed not to do precision damage, the fact that it has not been performing to its standards is a cause for concern. The developers are looking into it. It does look like the company has already started work on fixing this and we should be able to hear some good news pretty soon.

    Bungie is also working on another glitch in another exotic weapon. It is the exotic energy sniper rifle Izanagi’s Burden that many players are unable to access due to a bug in the questline. Hopefully, both these glitches will be fixed soon.

  • When Everyone Is Having Tech Problems With RDR2 But It’s Running Great For You

    When Everyone Is Having Tech Problems With RDR2 But It’s Running Great For You

    Earlier this week, Red Dead Redemption 2 was released for PC and players went wild over it. However, ever since its release, players have experienced issues like stuttering, freezing, audio problems, crashing, FPS drops, and graphical issues. Most users have had some recurring issues that are making it hard for them to relax and enjoy the experience. The user score for Red Dead Redemption 2 fell dramatically from 8.1 on PS4 to 3.6 on PC. Most users seem to be having a hellish experience trying to get the game working smoothly due to the tech problems with RDR2.

    Well, everyone except me.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC is like a dream come true and it is functioning without any glitches so far. I know I am very lucky in this case since I am usually the one trying to solve gaming issues as they crop up, browsing through forums, chats, and FAQ sections! I know the frustration when a solution is posted by a user that worked for them, but it doesn’t work for others, including yours truly. Each time, as I embark on my long and often lonely hunt, I ponder over my misfortune. However, this time, I have it easy. I am one of the very few who have had the good fortune to play RDR2 without any issues.

    Tech Problems With RDR2

    The release didn’t go quite how Rockstar Games expected. Most users are not facing issues while setting up the game (although few are getting at that point itself), the most common and the biggest issue is that the game hitches every few seconds. It makes for a very frustrating gaming experience. It also leads you to miss important dialogue in the story sequence as the game struggles to catch up. Since Red Dead Redemption 2 usually works great and has never given the gamers so much problem, this is truly surprising.


    RDR2 works quite well on less powerful console hardware, such as PlayStation 4, making it truly puzzling on why it should have trouble running on a much higher-end PC. Regardless of any changes done in the settings by the users, the game continues to halt every few seconds. Most gamers were looking forward to the release of RDR2 in PC. It is a shame that the game is pretty much unplayable at the moment. Maybe when the company releases an update that fixes these bugs, they could also update the game with better performance and visuals as well.

    Other issues include UI flickering, server disconnects, and frame drops.

    Rockstar’s Response

    The company’s response to the glitches is only a recommendation to the players to switch off their anti-virus software. This does not seem to work in most cases. Until Rockstar can fix this issue, RDR2 is not worth playing. Especially since the entire experience of the game would be slow and unsatisfactory. So far, Rockstar has not given any timeline or commitment by when the issues would be fixed.

    So, although Rockstar has been working almost flawlessly for me, I hope Rockstar get it fixed up soon so everyone can enjoy it!

  • Android 10: Google Unveils Major New Update

    Android 10: Google Unveils Major New Update

    The latest and most awaited version of the world’s most popular mobile OS is finally being rolled out by US tech giant, Android 10. As usual, the Pixel range of smartphones by Google will be the first to get the stable Android 10 update, followed by Sony, Samsung, and other devices that run on Android, which would get the update in the next few weeks or months.

    Android 10: Google Unveils Major New Update to World's Most Popular Operating System

    Android 10 marks a huge change from the last versions of the mobile OS. Since 2011, Android has been the most popular mobile operating system in the world. For the first time since its inception in 2008, Google has decided to discontinue its naming after a dessert or a sweet treat.

    In terms of simplicity, Google has made this decision for Android 10 after Android 9 Pie, Android Oreo, and Nougat. The new name has been here to define the change to its design, logo, and branding. It is intended to keep things simple for the users to understand which version is latest and navigate the software itself.

    Google has announced the changes in a blog post and also added, “Our brand must be most accessible and inclusive to the community as we build Android for everyone.”

    Also, Google has been planning to give Android a “more accessible and modern look” by changing its color scheme and logo in terms of a design update. Additionaly, Google is also going to change the logo color to black from green which would be easy to be seen for people who have impaired vision.

    Behind the scenes, Android is going to have improved security by Google in order to fight against the increasing cases of cyber attacks as well as scam apps rising on the platform.

    Dark mode

    Today, over 2.5 billion devices have been running Android globally. Even a glitch in security can have a devastating effect on the life of its users. According to a recent report which got published earlier this month, Android users had downloaded malicious apps over 8 million times from Google Play store.

    On a blog post announcing the arrival of Android 10, Google also wrote that Android devices are receiving security updates regularly already.

    You will get security updates even easier and faster in Android 10. With regular system updates of Google Play, major Privacy and Security patches will be sent to your device directly from Google Play. It is exactly the same way as other apps update. This way, you will get those patches whenever they become available.

    Google has also announced the most awaited feature, dark mode for Android users these days as part of the new update. When you are using the device in low-light environments, the new Dark theme will come in handy. Google says it would take it easy for your eyes and improve battery life.

    Gesture navigation

    A sound amplifier is another cool feature for noise cancellation and improved sound quality. It would also have gesture navigation to switch between apps with swipes.

    For improved gesture navigation, the back button has finally been removed, which has been the most common part of the Android OS. It would require users to pull and swipe to get around. According to Google, this new system will be more intuitive and faster.

  • Death Stranding PC Version

    Death Stranding PC Version

    Since being separated from the Metal Gear series and Konami in 2015, Hideo Kojima is finally here for the first time with Death Stranding, the best-kept secret by the company until its launch. A lot of fans have been left amazed. It is basically released on PS4 by Sony. But it is also going to launch for PC next summer. Now it is available for pre-order on the Epic Games Store and Steam.

    There were also speculations that the Death Stranding PC version is launching soon in 2020, but the question was on which store. It is now cleared that the Death Stranding will be released on both Steam and Epic Games Store for PC at the same time. Along with it, the base price of pre-orders is $60/£54.99 on each store.

    We partly expected Death Stranding to release on Epic Games Store, as 505’s last title Control was exclusive at Epic Games Store. But the availability at Steam is a new change.

    Death Stranding is basically not easy to absorb for everyone. It consists of a lot of intense threads, corny moments, silly names, and heavy exposition on its plot with a very simple message. It comes to a lot clear in the mundane moments of the game when you can find a ladder which is desperately needed behind a player.

    You can also get a ladder by getting a letter appreciating your efforts by NPC. In both its gameplay and story, it argues that adversity makes things that are worth to do. In short, this game needs compassion, patience, and love. Of course, it is the one you need now.

    With the launch date is yet to be announced, the pre-order bonuses might be available here for the Death Stranding PC version. But you can still have the special editions for $70 along with $200 for Collector edition, which comes with some physical accessories.

    The pre-order bonuses for Death Stranding were usually gold versions of items to secure a copy before November 8. You can get those bonuses in-game using other ways, apart from a PS4 theme and some PSN avatars.

    Pre-Order Bonuses

    If you could do so before the launch, you can get Chibi Ludens PSN by preordering the game on PS4 and dynamic theme for PS4 as pre-order bonuses for PC. You can also get gold versions of several in-game items with a pre-order. However, these items are unlockable with gameplay –

     Pre-Order Bonuses

    The Gold Hat

    • Gold “Sam” sunglasses
    • Gold Armor Plate (protects Sam against any kind of damage)
    • And the Gold Speed Skeleton (boosts movement speed of Sam once equipped)

    Special Edition

    It is available with the base game in the steel book along with other pre-order bonuses. You will also get a gold version of the album and Ludens Mask sunglasses, which have a digital download as well as making or behind-the-scene footage. You can get it for $70 on Best Buy, Target, Walmart, Amazon, and GameStop.

     Special Edition Death Stranding's

    Whatsapp Updates Drains Battery on Android Phones

    If you feel that the battery of your smartphone is discharging quite faster than normal these days, you are not alone and there is a strong reason behind. The main culprit here is WhatsApp updates, especially it’s the latest version which was released quite a week ago.

    The instant messaging app owned by Facebook is draining battery life quite faster on android phones. This problem is very serious on OnePlus devices. Furious OnePlus users ended up complaining here and there on OnePlus Forum, Google Play Store, Twitter, and Reddit.

    Whatsapp Update Drains Battery on Android Phones

    Thousands of users have been complaining about the new WhatsApp updates rolled on, which is responsible for draining the battery on their devices, including the ones using the latest OnePlus 7 Pro, OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro smartphones, on the OnePlus forums.

    Battery Stats

    A user complained about his KiltedTraveler handle on Reddit, “I am using OnePlus 7T and me was wondering how it is draining really faster than normal. I have used it for just 5 minutes and it took 16% battery.” Another user with a rektalTushe handles on Reddit who is a OnePlus 5 user complained, “The latest version 2.19.308 of WhatsApp has been draining its battery so aggressively. I have seen up to 33% of battery usage on the stats by WhatsApp only.”

     Battery Stats

    Hence, it is true that the latest update is reportedly draining the battery of some Android devices at a very aggressive speed. According to the reports on social media and WhatsApp forums, OnePlus users seem to be suffering a lot.

    According to a user who complained on Google Play Store, he couldn’t send videos and photos nor be able to download the media since the last update.

    The screen keeps showing that the file doesn’t exist on his device and the battery drainage issue has been grown suddenly. He also told me that he always needs to carry a power bank when going out to ensure that the phone doesn’t discharge on the way.

    Some users have also shared screenshots on Twitter related to WhatsApp using their device’s battery. Some also claimed that only half an hour’s usage of this app took 30% of battery life.

    A OnePlus 5T user complained, “WhatsApp is eating my battery life like anything and it seriously freaks me out when I check my battery stats.” WhatsApp is yet to acknowledge that issue and it is still not clear how many people have been affected yet.

    The issue is not supposed to be wide and seems to affect only OnePlus. Even iPhones and other Apple products are not affected yet. But OnePlus devices are not the only Android phones which are suffering this issue.

    On Reddit, users also reporting the same battery problems while using WhatsApp on Xiaomi, Huawei and Google Pixel devices.

    One person complained that WhatsApp has been draining the battery aggressively. He wrote, “There have been 33% of battery usage on the stats by WhatsApp.”

    On the other side, WhatsApp declined to say anything about this comment. When the problem will be fixed is still not clear.

In addition to this, Android 10, One UI 2.0 beta program will now include Galaxy Note 10+ and Note 10 users as well. In fact, it is already live for users in South Korea, the US, and Germany.

    One UI 2.0

    Beta Program

    Sometime earlier this month, the company announced the Android 10-based One UI 2.0 beta for the Galaxy S10 series. This meant that the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, and the Galaxy S10e will all receive Android 10 exclusive features! Besides this, some UI changes were also released aimed at improving the software. One great example of this is that the volume bar and the caller notification are no longer that large. Instead, their sizes have been reduced to offer a better and non-intrusive user experience.

    Note 10 Android 10 One UI Beta

    Some Updates

    Besides the UI changes, the One UI 2.0 beta for the Galaxy S10 series now brings the Dark Mode to the home screen so that users don’t experience eye fatigue as they use it at night. One great thing this dark mode can do is to adjust the brightness of the text, images, and display colours, giving you less stress. The cherry on the top is that the Dark Mode is designed to improve battery life by reducing battery use.

    The Smart Lock Screen features some tiny changes as well. You will now notice that the screen can automatically adjust the text colour. Apart from this, you will find Focus Mode and other tools to help you use the device better. This is aimed at improving your digital wellness.
