The Lord of the Rings Online (LotRO) has received its seventh expansion. Minas Morgul launched yesterday and brings a lot of dark content to the MMORPG. We will tell you what new content awaits you.
What is the cost of the LotRO add-on? The latest expansion is called Minas Morgul, and you can purchase it in three versions:
Standard Edition for 35.99€
Collector’s Edition for 75.99€
The Ultimate Fan Bundle for 114.99€
So dark are the new areas
What is Minas Morgul? Fans of the Lord of the Rings universe should be familiar with the name of the expansion. Minas Morgul is the seat of the Witch-king and his Nazgul. The city is inhabited by Orcs who have targeted Gondor. The army that besieged Minas Tirith also set out from there. After the end of the Ring War, Minas Morgul remains uninhabitable – the horror runs too deep in the city.
2 new regions: The besieged Mordor and the Morgul Valley
250 new quests
New missions in the Black Book of Mordor
7 new instances for 3 and 6 players
12-player raid with Shelob (Kankra) the spider as the opponent
New rewards from the crafting guild
Shelob – A new raid boss
This is the story of the expansion: After Sauron’s death and the destruction of the Ring, it is up to the players to vanquish the last remnants of evil in Middle-earth. Your path will lead you to Minas Morgul, a creepy, dead city and its surroundings.
If you venture into the besieged Mordor, you will be embroiled in visions of the Second Age. There you will experience these events in the role of a hero.
Another glimpse into one of the new areas
These expansions of LotRO are also available: Even though the MMORPG has already been around for 12 years, it continues to be supplied with plenty of content. Minas Morgul is already the seventh expansion of the online game and can look back on these predecessors:
The Mines of Moria (2008)
The Siege of Mirkwood (2009)
The Rise of Isengard (2012)
The Riders of Rohan (2012)
Helm’s Deep (2013)
Mordor (2017)
If you really want to get ready for the new add-on, you can still watch the launch trailer:

In Fortnite, a new weapon has appeared yesterday. The Twitch streamers Tfue and SypherPK show why the weapon is very strong and how to use it.
Which weapon is meant? Yesterday there was a small update where a new weapon was added to the game. Players had to discover it themselves and explore what it can do.
The Harpoon Pistol is a new item that is versatile. It can be used for fishing or eliminating enemies. Its appearance and usage resemble the Grappler, which was removed from the game.
Twitch streamer Tfue rates the weapon 10/10
What does the streamer think about the new weapon? Tfue seems excited about the new weapon. In his stream, you can see him driving around in a boat. He frequently stops to fish with the Harpoon Pistol.
Within seconds, he catches several fish that provide shields or health, or weapons that he can exchange with his loot.
He then says: “This is so awesome! It completely changes the game.” In another match, he again talks with his community about the new weapon and says: “Honestly, I give the harpoon 10 out of 10. For me, it’s a fantastic addition to the game.”
Twitch streamers show gameplay with the new weapon
Other Twitch streamers like NickEh30 and SypherPK also had fun with the new Harpoon Pistol. They show how powerful and versatile it is.
The streamer NickEh30 was in a build battle with an opponent. He tried to hit him with the harpoon multiple times. After a few attempts, he finally scored a hit and eliminated the opponent.
The Twitch streamer SypherPK demonstrated a clever method of using the Harpoon Pistol.
He placed a trap on the wall next to him and pulled the opponent towards him with the weapon. This attempt also succeeded and the opponent was eliminated by the placed trap.
In this video, you can see how the Twitch streamers react to and use the new weapon:

At the start of Diablo 4, there will be five classes available for you to choose from. So far, three of them have been confirmed. We will show you which classes could still be possible at release.
What classes does Diablo 4 offer? Diablo 4 was officially revealed at BlizzCon 2019. We now know that D4 is going to be quite dark. In the gameplay trailer, you could already get a glimpse of some of the battles in the game. But who will be sent into battle against the hordes of monsters at launch?
So far, Blizzard has confirmed three classes: Sorceress, Barbarian, and Druid – This is what they can do in Diablo 4. However, the developers will be adding two more classes into the ring for launch. What those are is still a secret. But there are two strong contenders that point towards these classes.
What are the 4th and 5th classes for Diablo 4?
Where does the idea come from? The YouTuber Bluddshed is a well-known figure in the Diablo community. He regularly streams Diablo 3 and creates guide videos to help the community with leveling and builds. He was also present at BlizzCon 2019 and streamed a live broadcast introducing the existing classes in Diablo 4.
In one of his videos, Bluddshed discusses why Paladin and Amazon would be a good choice for the two remaining class slots in Diablo IV.
What does Diablo 4 offer? Considering the three presented classes, D4 covers the following genres:
Ranged Caster
Melee fighter with physical damage, both 2H and 1H
A melee hybrid with a staff
What does Diablo 4 lack? What the already existing classes Sorceress, Barbarian, and Druid do not cover is:
What speaks for the Paladin? Given the missing attributes for Diablo 4, a Paladin would make sense. The class would play with a shield and one-handed weapons and also cover the “Holy” area. With this one class, Blizzard could satisfy fans of two play styles.
Bluddshed also mentions artwork that was released during BlizzCon. One of the shields would visually suit a Paladin.
The Crusader could also be an option for this setup. However, since this class is already playable in Diablo 3, the expectation is more towards the Paladin.
Could this be the fourth shield from the top left for the Paladin? Image source: Bluddshed YouTube
What speaks for the Amazon? It is hard to imagine that Diablo 4 would launch without a class that deals physical damage from a distance. Such an archer or hunter is actually part of the standard repertoire of an RPG. In Diablo 1, there was the Huntress with her bow. In Diablo 2, the Amazon with bow and throwing spears.
The Amazons are associated with spears and shields, matching the showcased artwork. She could throw spears, but was also effective in melee combat with elemental damage. This class would therefore combine shields, spears, and ranged DPS.
Have you already thought about which other classes Blizzard will bring to the release of Diablo 4? Perhaps a pet class like the Witch Doctor or the Necromancer is waiting for you.
Let us know in the comments which are your top 5 classes for the start of Diablo 4.
EA Sports has just introduced the TOTW 8 (Team of the Week) in FIFA 20. Let’s take a look at the current Teamof the Week.
What is the Team of the Week? The Team of the Week is presented every Wednesday by EA Sports. It features 23 selected players who have shone with good performances in real soccer over the weekend.
These players receive a spot in the Team of the Week as well as improved Inform cards in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team.
The best players in TOTW 8: The new TOTW cards from Walker (86), De Ligt (86), Ziyech (86), Lukaku (86), Sommer (86), and Timo Werner (85) are really strong.
Who made it from the Bundesliga? Several players from the Bundesliga are part of Team of the Week 8 this week. Among them: Werner (85), Sommer (86), Kostic (84), and Hazard (84).
Timo Werner’s first Inform card: Many FUT players with Bundesliga teams have certainly been waiting for this. Timo Werner receives his first TOTW card in FUT 20, and the stats are impressive!
The new Werner Inform card makes a big leap to an overall rating of 85 and improves many important attributes. Shooting and Passing have been particularly enhanced:
Shooting: 81 -> 84
Passing: 67 -> 71
Dribbling: 82 ->84
This Inform card will likely be in high demand, which could mean a high price.
This is the Team of the Week 8
All cards in TOTW 8
TOTW 8 – Starting XI

TOTW 8 – Substitutes
TOTW 8 – Substitutes
Then the TOTW 8 appears: From today, November 6 at 7:00 PM, the new Inform cards will be available in packs in FUT 20.
Bronze or Silver Inform cards can be found in the respective Bronze and Silver packs.
On the transfer market: If you have a specific Inform card in mind, you should acquire it on the transfer market. However, it’s better to wait a few days, as new TOTW card prices usually drop a bit.
Making coins with the TOTW: To quickly earn coins with the new Inform cards, you should focus on TOTW trading. Here’s more information on that:
We present to you the top 5 exotic weapons for PvE in Destiny 2 Shadowkeep. Find out where to get these Exotics and why you should have them.
Exotic weapons are one of the hallmarks of the Destiny universe. Even some gamers who have never played Destiny have heard stories of the Gjallarhorn. Exotics are often very powerful, feature creative attributes, or break the rules.
Since you can carry only one exotic weapon at a time, we have put together a “Top 5” list for you. This should make it a bit easier for you to choose from the rather large collection to fight through the current content of Shadowkeep.
Please note that the selection reflects the author’s personal opinion, and the order is not evaluative.

The Huckleberry
What is the Huckleberry? The Huckleberry is a kinetic submachine gun and requires primary ammunition.
What makes the SMG so special? The longer you fire, the higher the rate of fire becomes. If you defeat an enemy, the weapon partially reloads. Additionally, you receive one stack of “Raging” for each kill, up to a maximum of three stacks.
Raging and other formerly powerful PvE perks were significantly weakened at the launch of Shadowkeep. However, the Huckleberry is an exception. In contrast to other versions of “Raging,” the exotic variant provides double the damage bonus. With a 3x stack, you deal a whopping 66% extra damage.

How to get the Huckleberry: The Huckleberry is a so-called “world drop”. This means that the weapon can come randomly from all exotic sources. There is no special quest; you have to rely on your loot luck.
How to obtain the exotic catalyst and what can the masterwork version do? You can randomly receive the masterwork catalyst for this weapon after successfully completing heroic adventures – for example on Mars or Mercury.
Thanks to the catalyst, the SMG reloads the entire magazine after a kill. Therefore, you no longer need to interrupt and can plow through hordes of enemies. The Huckleberry is also ideal for eliminating groups of enemies in Shadowkeep.
On the next page, we will show you truly heavenly support.

FIFA 20 is the first title in the series to feature a season progress system. The first season ends this week. How did it go – and what comes next?
This is the season progress: The season progress works similarly to the Battle Pass in Fortnite. By completing various challenges, players were able to earn experience points and unlock rewards. The highest reward of Season 1 was the so-called story players Zaha, Tolisso, and Vazquez. Players can choose one of these three when they reach Level 30.
When does Season 1 end? Those who haven’t collected all rewards yet should hurry. The first season of FIFA 20 ends on Friday evening, November 8!
Season 1 in FIFA 20 ends this week
Did you get all the rewards?
This is how Season 1 went: With the end of the first season, it’s worth looking back. It can be noted that obtaining all the rewards from the season progress is not that easy. On reddit there are several posts on the topic of missing XP – and whether it’s still possible to achieve it in time. User “ibbyk1708” wonders if the story players are even obtainable.
The way to Level 30 is long
The answer: Yes, you can get the story players during Season 1. There are also many players who already have over 100,000 XP and thus have collected all the rewards. However, it was not easy. The weekly goals in bronze, silver, and gold are each only available for two weeks and can be very difficult. Those who miss them have a lot to catch up on.
Events like Icon Swaps or Ultimate Scream brought challenges that also provided XP. However, if you missed several weekly goals, it becomes difficult to obtain the rewards. Especially the gold goals provided a lot of XP, which you ultimately need severely.
What players wish for: Since there is currently no official information from EA about Season 2, it is worth looking at the community’s wishes. One thing seems very likely: Season 2 will probably also feature 30 levels with various rewards such as badges, Choroes, and packs. How exactly this will look – the community is still undecided.
This especially concerns the story players. Will there be a new selection? This seems at least the most likely. An alternative suggestion from the community includes upgrades for the already existing story players. This could look like this according to user “moldylungs“:

Here, many users wish for a new selection. An interesting idea has also been proposed by user “RubioJones“. He speculates that Season 2 will simply be connected to Season 1 following the model of the Madden series. This would mean that players could continue to collect rewards – which would likely appeal to many players.
A problem with Season 1 was that latecomer players or those who only have limited time for FIFA couldn’t really catch up. The weekly goals were only available for a limited time. Some wish for the goals to remain available longer. However, this seems unlikely given the first season.
If you are currently looking for reinforcements, you will find them here:
The LoL Worlds final is set between G2 Esports and FunPlus Phoenix. The focus for the Chinese team is on Kim “Doinb” Tae-sang, who is the mid laner for FunPlus Phoenix. Somehow, G2 Esports can’t seem to get the “super carry” out of their minds, just before the World Championship final of the League of Legends.
What kind of game is this? On Sunday, G2 Esports from Europe plays against FunPlus Phoenix (China) for the world championship in League of Legends.
This is FunPlus Phoenix. They are the hope of China. Doinb is the third from the left.
FunPlus Phoenix is strongly positioned in every role. The jungler Tian is considered to be absolutely world-class. But the mid laner “Doinb” has made a special name for himself.
All the hopes of China rest on him.
Super Carry, Super Carry
What is so special about Doinb? Doinb is considered to be somewhat of a strange player.
Mechanically, he is supposedly not “that strong”; he is said to handle the mouse and keyboard less effectively than comparable world-class mid laners.
The mid laner for Fnatic, Nemesis, called him one of the “likely worst mid laners in the tournament.” However, he had to endure a lot of mockery and scorn for that.

Doinb is said to possess an incredibly good game understanding and make extremely good “picks,” meaning he selects champions well – he practically eliminated Fnatic in the quarter-finals with Ryze alone.
He is known as a player who hardly stays on his lane but instead moves freely across the map, unlike conventional mid laners. Such erratic behavior requires his team to support him, which seems to work at FunPlus Phoenix.

He explains that people don’t actually understand Doinb.
Doinb showcased his strong champion pool in the semi-finals of the LoL Worlds. In Match 1, he was simply irresistible on Rumble, before then contributing quietly to his team’s victory against the 2018 LoL world champions, Invictus Gaming, while on Nautilus.
FunPlus Phoenix is currently said to be showcasing the strongest “ban and pick” phase at the LoL Worlds 2019.

This is how it is going for Doinb during the LoL Worlds: Doinb has earned a reputation as a “super carry,” an exceptional player who leads his team to victory all on his own.
The lines between “awe” and “irony” have blurred since the hype around Doinb has grown so big.
Doinb has an average KDA of 6.1 at the Worlds with 8 different champions (via gol.gg):
Ryze, which he played in 5 games, has an incredibly high KDA of 21.7
with Nautilus, which he played 3 times, is more defensive at 3.8
he played Kayle 2 times
additionally, he also played Rumble, Renekton, Sion, Galio, and Malphite
In comparison: Faker has a KDA of 3.8 at the Worlds – Caps has 4.0.
Doinb on Rumble was the super carry in Match 1 of the semi-finals.
Doinb was considered “cursed” after the scandal
Why was he considered cursed? Doinb is South Korean but has been playing in China since 2015. After 2014, there was a wave of many Koreans moving to China because there was fresh money, and Koreans at that time were considered the best players in the world.
A Chinese team discovered Doinb in Korea’s Solo Queue, where he had already made a name for himself as a “high-Elo” player.
In China, however, his career was considered “cursed,” as DotEsports describes. Doinb’s time in China started well with the Qia Gu Reapers, as the team even qualified for international tournaments, where they were unluckily eliminated. But then disaster struck.
A conflict between Doinb and his then jungler caused the team to have to withdraw from a tournament in April 2016. Doinb accused the jungler of not listening to the coaches and wanting Doinb to be benched.
This “scandal” brought Doinb a career setback and a strange reputation.
Doinb then played for rather mediocrely successful teams between 2017 and 2018, which couldn’t accomplish much. The Qiao Gu Reapers were bought and became JD Gaming. With that team, he didn’t find great success. Later, he switched to the Rogue Warriors, which also didn’t go well.
Doinb was already considered a “failed import” in China.
But while things weren’t going well for his teams, Doinb managed to adjust his playstyle relatively late in his career and won individual awards.
Ryze, which G2 Esports will hardly let him play.
Now he is known for having a broad and somewhat strange champion pool in the mid lane.
The team “FunPlus Phoenix” recruited Doinb in December 2018 and apparently decided to fully back Doinb and support his style of excessive roaming. Because it only works if the rest of the team is on board.
With jungler Tian, he now forms a strong tandem and has earned a reputation as a “super carry.”

And bot laner Perkz has now posted: “My room is directly opposite Doinb’s. If I knock on the door every hour during the night before the match, we both can’t sleep – who do you think will win?”
How Doinb’s story ends, we will find out on Sunday at the final. At the moment, it looks like it could be the World Championship of the “cursed” Doinb – but Caps, Perkz, and the others are sure to have something to say about that.
Hearthstone has a new game mode that is currently available only to selected players. We will tell you how you can join.
One of the smaller surprises at BlizzCon 2019 was a new game mode for Hearthstone. The mode, called “Battlegrounds,” is strongly based on the currently successful “Auto Chess” genre, so games like Teamfight Tactics or DOTA Underlords. Similar to these games, you buy units, place them on the battlefield, and upgrade them gradually – just in typical Hearthstone fashion.
But how can you join?
This is how you gain access to Hearthstone: Battlegrounds: Basically, there is the option to “buy into the beta.” You need to have purchased one of two things:
Is it possible to join without spending money? Yes, that is also possible. In addition to the two paid options, there is the possibility to gain access to the beta on Twitch. You need to link your Battle.net account with Twitch and then watch streamers in the “Hearthstone” category. As a possible Twitch drop, there is the beta access for your account.
How long will the beta test run? Since last night (November 5) until November 12, the closed beta test for Hearthstone Battlegrounds is running. So you have just under a week to have fun in the mode and gain your first experiences with this game mode. Shortly after, an open beta is expected to follow. So if you can wait a bit, you can just hold off.
Have you already checked out “Battlegrounds”? How do you like the mode? Is it fun, or is it more of a flop?
The Division 2 is known for its many talents and skills that hopefully result in a good build when combined. However, combining it with an Exotic exaggerates the synergies a bit and can stuff thousands of bullets into your magazine. But see for yourself.
How does building work in The Division 2? The post-apocalyptic shooter Division 2 relies not only on its gunplay and the many missions and projects the game offers. Besides the active tasks, building a robust build is the primary goal of the Division agents.
It is best to proceed step by step, which is called Min-Max’ing. This minimizes unwanted values in the build and maximizes the stats that are the focus of the build.
Searching for loot, agents spare no effort.
The interaction of the many talents can sometimes lead to bugs. An interesting error has now sneaked into the game after Title Update 6 and fills the agents’ magazines more than to the brim.
Small bug leads to large magazines
Which talent combination gives the mega magazines? The weapon talent “Lucky Shot” currently works quite well with the exotic “Dodge City Gunslinger Holster”. A few shots, switching between the main weapon and the pistol, and the combo loads your magazine into entirely new dimensions.
Lucky Shot
Shots from cover that miss the target return to the magazine.
Dodge City Gunslinger Holster
Talent: Shooter
When switching to the pistol, all magazines are reloaded.
Enemies no longer find it amusing with the mega magazines.
The talent “Shooter” of the exotic weapon holder currently does not seem to register the bullets that land back in the magazine with “Lucky Shot”. Thus, the magazine is refilled even though it is already packed with cartridges.
Minutes of continuous fire shred enemies
What happens to the additional cartridges? The engine relies on the displayed ammunition value and allows you to fire the accumulated bullets towards enemies without pause.
Since “Lucky Shot” also returns all the bullets that went astray from cover, the excessive magazines are hardly emptied anymore.

In the video, you see YouTuber “Flufficatplayz Awesome” as he goes against the enemies of the following area of the mission with his magazine holding nearly 400 bullets and rains down minutes of continuous fire on the bewildered foes.
10,000 bullets in the magazine – Probably even more possible
But there’s more: In the picture below you see the agent “expect_nothing”, who has set aside thousands of bullets. Dedicated bug testers have filled magazines with over 10,000 bullets and went against pitiful bandits.
The talent “Lucky Shot” can also be found on rifles and sniper rifles. If reports are to be believed, rifles can also be overfilled, but snipers cannot. With a strong assault rifle, such a magazine would certainly not be bad.
The developers are working on it
Will it stay like this? In the largest thread on the topic on reddit, one of the developers has already responded to the excessive magazine sizes and confirmed that this issue is known and is being worked on.
Until then, the community is having fun with the bug and pushing capacities to new heights, so that even the magazines in bullet-heavy action movies only seem like small cartridge dispensers.
What do you think about this crazy bug? Ready to hunt?
Clever players have found a way to make the otherwise boring and unpopular reconnaissance drones more useful in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. They have transformed them into remote-controlled mines.
Here’s how the “deadly drones” are built: Players have found a way to upgrade the reconnaissance drones from Modern Warfare a bit. They combine the drones with Claymores.
The reconnaissance drones are a Field Upgrade that players can deploy after a short charging time. The drones are then remotely controlled and are used to mark enemies.
Other players on the team can place Claymores on these drones. These remain active and can also detonate. So when the drone pilot flies their drone towards an enemy, the Claymore explodes and kills them. In the embedded video at minute 9:30, you can even see a multi-kill with it.

Deadly Drones – Is this okay?
Here’s how players react: Most players find such actions more funny than disruptive. Even some victims of this strategy are not angry but surprised that players have found such a clever combination:

Is the strategy “broken”? The reconnaissance drones are one of the weaker field upgrades. Anyone who takes them has to forgo strong upgrades like Dead Silence, Weapon Drop, or the Trophy System.
Additionally, the drone takes a long time to charge – longer than most upgrades. Furthermore, there are some counters against the tactic, such as:
good sound settings to hear and locate the drone
the perk “Recon” that allows you to see drones and Claymores through walls
the perk “KRD” which reduces damage from Claymores
What do you think about these deadly drones? Cool idea or annoying exploit?
Pokémon GO is hosting an unannounced raid hour again tonight, November 6th. We provide you with all the details about counters, start time, and the event.
This is the raid hour: Regularly, there is a raid hour in Pokémon GO every Wednesday evening. During this time, there will be an increased number of legendary raids.
Everything about the raid hour with Cobalion tonight
When does the raid hour start? As usual, the raid hour starts at 6 PM local time. 20 minutes before, a legendary egg will appear at all gyms where no other raid is taking place.
If additional gyms become available by 7 PM, more Cobalion raids will also appear there. The exception is gyms that have distributed invites for EX raids.
The best counters against Cobalion: The legendary Pokémon is vulnerable to fighting, fire, and ground. The best counters are fire-type Pokémon: Chandelure, Blaziken, and Moltres.
For the raid hour, we recommend a group size of 5-6 players. This way, you will be quick at raiding and won’t have to wait for too many teammates.
Are Cobalion raids worth it? Cobalion does not change the meta of Pokémon GO at all. It is significantly weaker than other steel attackers like Metagross or Dialga. As a fighting attacker, it simply has too weak attacks.
From a usability perspective, Cobalion is therefore not important. However, legendary raids always give you important items like rare candies. Raids are always worth it.
Will there be more raid hours? Nothing is known about this yet. However, it is quite possible that another raid hour will take place next Wednesday.
The Rocket bosses have appeared in some countries. They even bring shiny Pokémon with them:
In the next WoW expansion, world quests are set to be significantly reworked. This makes sense when artifact power is no longer a reward.
World quests in World of Warcraft have become a staple of the endgame for every expansion. However, world quests are controversial in the community. For some, they are an engaging, recurring task that can be completed in a few minutes. Others find world quests annoying because the same tasks must be done repeatedly and grinding for important resources (artifact power, war resources) is involved.
What did the developers say? In an interview, the developers confirmed that the world quest system will be revamped. Specifically, the question was asked:
“What will the motivation be to engage in daily activities when artifact power is no longer in the game?”
In response came the somewhat vague reply:
There are other rewards in world quests that are not artifact power to motivate players to complete them. We are currently looking at the world quest system and will be overhauling it; we call it “World Quests 2.0”. More information will be available at the beta release.
World quests have been in WoW for a while – some like them, others do not. The “compulsory grind” is particularly annoying.
Why are changes coming? In WoW: Shadowlands, the developers have moved away from the artifact power concept. There will be no new artifact weapon that constantly needs to be supplied with AP to reach new levels.
The system was designed so that for a small advantage, one often had to farm for days. Particularly, professional players in large raid guilds felt compelled to farm artifact power from all possible sources (world quests, islands, raids) day and night before a new raid opened.
Especially professional raiders often farm artifact power all day for a tiny advantage.
What will the changes look like? What exactly these changes will look like is still unknown. However, if the system is referred to as “World Quests 2.0”, it is likely that significant changes are in store to address the biggest criticisms from fans. Whether world quests will then actually only be optional in Shadowlands or remain a necessity for many players is yet to be seen.
What would you wish for world quests in Shadowlands? How should innovations to the system look?
You want to change the language in Red Dead Redemption 2 and play in German, English, or other languages? No problem, it can be adjusted. We will show you how.
Which language can be changed? If you follow this guide to change the language of Red Dead Redemption 2, you will notice this in the subtitles and in the menu. The game itself does not have a German voiceover, only the English one. Arthur will not suddenly speak German.
How to change the language? Players have already noticed that there is an option to change the language missing in the game. You won’t find anything in the options. Now, gamers didn’t want to settle for that and have researched further on how to change the subtitle language.
Some simply do not want to read in German or prefer a different language than the selected one.
Some players report that a small change in the Rockstar Games Launcher already solved the issue.
Here you find the setting: Close RDR 2, start the Rockstar Games Launcher, and select “Settings” in the top right corner of the main window. At the very top, you will find the “Language” option and a drop-down menu where you can select your preferred language.
If you now click on the desired language, it will change throughout the launcher. It’s best to restart the program now.
When you now open Red Dead Redemption 2, the subtitles and menu items should be in your selected language. If not, then try step 2 from this article.

This is what players report: In some systems, the language of the Rockstar Games Launcher seems to have no effect on Red Dead Redemption 2. Changing the Windows language helps here.
How to change the language in Windows 10:
Click on the Windows icon and select Settings (the gear icon)
Select “Time & Language” and then on the left under “Region” choose the desired country with your preferred language
Then select the preferred language on the left under “Language”
The language pack will be downloaded, and you can select it under “Windows display language”
It is best to set the new language as the default among the preferred ones and then restart the system.
With the new system language, start your Rockstar Games Launcher, ensure that the desired language has also been set as in step 1, and then start Red Dead Redemption 2.
Now, your menu and subtitles should appear in the new language.
If you now have the game in your desired language, feel free to use these tips to ensure nothing goes wrong in the game.
Twitch streamer DrDisrespect expresses criticism towards Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. In one of his streams, he angrily quits the game and demands some changes.
There, he angrily quit his game and listed various things that are going wrong for him. He likely voiced the opinion of many players who think similarly.
These things are wrong for DrDisrespect
This is the scene: The streamer was just on the move when he was eliminated by an opponent. Right after his respawn, he jumps through a window and is taken out by a claymore again.

This prompted DrDisrespect to get really angry. He immediately ended the round and started complaining. He says: “I can’t play this fucking game right now, I just don’t want to play.”
What is he criticizing? At the center of his complaints are primarily two things: claymores and the 725 shotgun.
“You have fucking claymores at every single window and every single door – nobody wants that. If that’s not happening, then the 725 shotgun comes from the other side of the map. Nobody wants that.”
The streamer demands immediate changes so that he can finally play normally. He states that a patch should come the same evening that removes the claymores and weakens the shotgun. Currently, Modern Warfare is taking a completely wrong direction and needs to change course.
DrDisrespect also suggests that “Dead Silence” could be added so that players can move quietly without being heard directly.
In Fortnite, players suddenly received erroneous ban messages due to a feature that actually belongs to the game. Now, a few of those affected are being compensated by Epic.
What happened? Players who wanted to watch their friends during a solo match suddenly received ban messages. They were warned for allegedly breaking the “teaming” rule.
However, this was not the case, as the players had done nothing wrong. They were surprised when the warning appeared on their screen.
A few affected players have now been compensated
How are the players being compensated? Epic is reportedly giving the affected players V-Bucks as an apology. Players report that they have received 1,000 V-Bucks credited to their accounts.
Player Slqthy posted a picture showing how the V-Bucks were received in the game.
Next to it, there is a message from Epic saying: “We mistakenly warned your account. We apologize, and we will transfer 1,000 V-Bucks to your account as an apology for our error.”

Why are the players receiving compensation now? The error was clearly on Epic’s part and not the players. They only used the spectator feature, which was introduced by Epic.
However, the game counted the viewing as teaming and sent out these erroneous messages. The players were understandably shocked because they thought their account would be banned.
In the game, you can now watch your friends during a solo match
Epic seems to want to apologize for the shock to the players who received the false warnings. Therefore, they are giving them V-Bucks, which they can use to purchase an item from the item shop.
So far, not all affected players have received compensation. It might take a while until they receive the V-Bucks. However, some players report that they have already received the compensation for it.
Epic Games is known for admitting their mistakes and is quite generous when they want to apologize to the affected players.
The Destiny 2 raid “Garden of Salvation” poses a new challenge for you. We explain how to master the first challenge “Remnants”.
What is a raid challenge? The raids from the Destiny universe are among the highlights of the franchise. Raids are challenging group activities for six Guardians. Together, they aim to defeat tough bosses, solve tricky puzzles, and overcome dizzying jumping sections.
Raids are not that easy to master for most players. However, for those who find the challenges there insufficient, Bungie offers so-called raid challenges. These provide classic additional mechanics or restrict certain playstyles.
Challenges usually relate to a specific raid encounter or phase. In the “Garden of Salvation”, there are a total of four such encounters – the jumping sections are excluded.
This is how the Remnants challenge works
This is the first encounter: The current challenge “Remnants” takes place in the first phase of the Shadowkeep raid “Garden of Salvation”. Unlike the three previous raids, no extra bounty needs to be picked up from Hawthorne. The challenge is automatically active when the raid starts. You will see the relevant information on the start screen on the left.
To master the first encounter, the team divides into two equal groups of three Guardians. One team stays in the starting area and distracts the boss, who would otherwise execute his wipe mechanic (instant death for all players). The other team goes further into an area and opens a barricade (energy field that blocks the passage). Subsequently, the teams switch tasks. This is repeated several times.
This depiction is quite simplified, as of course a bunch of adds, special enemies, and a “door-opening mechanic” await you Guardians. For all players who are not familiar with the phase, we have here a detailed video description from Nexxoss Gaming that you should get acquainted with:

This is what the challenge looks like now: To successfully master “Remnants”, most Vex Cyclops must be kept alive in the first encounter. Some Cyclops must be eliminated, otherwise the Angel (a Vex Hydra) does not spawn. Only after the Angel’s death does the cube open – with which you open the barricades between the areas.
The rule is: If a Cyclops is alone in an area, defeat it. After its death, two Cyclops will appear in the previous area. These must remain alive if you want to successfully complete the challenge. So leave the respawning Cyclops duo alone in all three areas.
Once you have defeated all three barricades, you need to cross an open field. Here, a bunch of Cyclops await you. Do not hesitate, these enemies are no longer part of the challenge and can be eliminated without issue.
Tips for the challenge: Unfortunately, the Cyclops do not behave quietly and are not really grateful for being spared. On the contrary, you will often be under constant fire – and at the most inconvenient moments.
A general survival tip here is to keep moving constantly. The one-eyed Vex turrets fire relatively slow shots. By constantly changing positions, most projectiles should go astray. But be careful of splash damage, that is environmental damage. This can hit you even while you are in seemingly safe cover and has a huge radius.
Each of the three Guardian classes has special protective mechanisms:
Titans create their so-called “Bubble” (shield of the dawn).
Hunters become invisible through dodging or smoke bombs.
Warlocks place their “Well of Radiance” or throw healing grenades.
6 against 1 – a typical day of a raid boss
What are the rewards? If you successfully master the challenge, there is bonus loot. In addition to the standard chest at the end of the encounter, another chest appears after a short time. This one also contains top-tier equipment.
The bonus chest contains equipment from the loot pool of the first phase. Specifically, this means there are either raid boots, the Combat Bow, or the Fusion Rifle.
What do you think of the first challenge? Is the raid already challenging enough or are you doing everything for extra loot?Have you already mastered this challenge?
In Fortnite , the pro player and YouTuber FaZe Jarvis (17) was banned for life by Epic. His clan leader, FaZe Banks, calls this ban “fucking ridiculous,” totally absurd. Others also accuse Epic of double standards. We explain what the allegations are about.
Like many, he cites the case of Fortnite player XXiF to highlight the difference:
FaZe Jarvis used an aimbot and was banned for life. He did not hide this and only did it to entertain his viewers.
The player XXiF cheated alongside another player during the qualification for the Fortnite World Cup by making an agreement. However, he only received a 2-week ban and could still participate in the Fortnite World Cup. XXiF wanted to win money and “steal” a place at the World Cup with his behavior.
FaZe Banks says what Jarvis did was stupid – but he does not understand what it achieves to destroy the life of a 17-year-old and whether this is appropriate for the act.
xQc, Twitch streamer.
This is crazy – Epic loves cheaters
This is what xQc says: The Twitch streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel echoes this sentiment. He cites the lenient punishment of XXiF as a reason why the ban for FaZe Jarvis is now “insane.”
This is the problem: Epic is accused of “taking it easy” on an incident from April 2019.
The players XXiF and Ronaldo were banned from Fortnite for 14 days at that time for colluding to gain points to qualify for the World Cup through an agreement.

The 14-day ban was seen at that time as “too mild” a punishment. The streamer DrLupo called the ban a “kick in the groin of the community.”
Players demanded that the two should have remained banned for at least the tournament during which they cheated.
Due to the significant discrepancy between the two punishments, the defenders of FaZe Jarvis want to make it clear that the 17-year-old does not deserve such a harsh penalty.

What about the boy’s YouTube channel? Remarkably, FaZe Jarvis’s subscriber count has increased since the ban instead of decreased. The streamer has gained over 100,000 new subscribers on YouTube in recent days.
The video about the ban has now 6.6 million views and is the second most popular video on the channel.
The Twitch streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins mentions other reasons to lessen the punishment for FaZe Jarvis:
The player Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev (22) is regarded as one of the best players in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, but he seems to have been overplayed recently. After a tournament marathon, he momentarily forgets where exactly he is playing CS:GO and talks to a teammate who is not there.
This is the scene: On November 3, the star of Natus Vincere played games from the “Faceit Pro League” on a Twitch stream. He hits an opponent with a shot from the sniper rifle, then turns to the right and informs a teammate that he just got someone.
He then turns back to the game.
Seconds later, he realizes that no one is sitting next to him. He is playing alone in front of his viewers and is not at a LAN with his team at a CS:GO tournament.

“I looked to the right to see what my teammates were doing. I have played too many tournaments and too many games recently.”
“Too many games”
How much does he play? As reported by Dexerto , s1mple has played 11 matches in London, Turkey, and Copenhagen from October 17 until the day of the stream. There, Natus Vincere completed 18 maps.
So he was apparently still in tournament mode and his muscle memory took over. Now he has time to relax, as there is a longer break from games until December.
Who is s1mple? The Ukrainian is considered “the best CS:GO” player in the world or at least one of the best. He competes with the Frenchman ZywOo (Team Vitality) for this title. Currently, he ranks 2nd in the Player Stats on hltv.org – behind ZywOo.
The 22-year-old s1mple now has 981,003 followers on Twitch.
However, compared to professional streamers, he is relatively rarely seen live there. In the last 365 days, he has streamed 237 hours of CS:GO and 14 hours of Fortnite. Most of the time, he is at tournaments.
His streaming time has also been restricted by a ban on Twitch.
One of the funniest moments of BlizzCon happened during a panel that most might have missed. The WoW voice actors were joking around…
At BlizzCon 2019, the focus was mainly on the newly announced games from Blizzard (such as Shadowlands), but there were also some particularly interesting details to hear and see during the various panels. The panel featuring the different voice actors for the important characters – such as Anduin, Sylvanas, and Saurfang – stood out in particular.
What happened? In the last minutes, some outtakes were played, where Thrall and Saurfang were having a conversation. It was apparently about rehearsals for the recordings of “Safe Home” and “The Reckoning”.
During that, there is a dialogue with improvisation that becomes very humorous. You should definitely listen in (starts at minute 11:40):

Saurfang: “That’s true. If I… can spare these men, spare our families… then I will do it. That is my…”
Thrall: “… limitation?”
As you can hear from the laughter of the people in the recording, it was well received. The conversation then becomes a bit more absurd:
Saurfang: “I came here because of this madness, screw it! You see, I knew we shouldn’t have talked about it. I’ve thought about it.”
Thrall: “Let’s get a beer!”
Saurfang: “Okay. Let those damned idiots figure it out. Sylvanas! I’m pulling back. Have a nice day, see you, good night!”
This is only topped by the second scene:
Saurfang: “You know, Thrall, sometimes I think… I should have just let those two damned undead wipe you and your family out.
I walked 6 miles! Through damned grain! I’m gluten intolerant, damn it, you know that!”
Voice acting at Blizzard is special: What has been emphasized repeatedly is the fact that at Blizzard, voice acting is handled differently than in most other studios. Instead of standing alone or in pairs during a recording and simply reading the lines without much context, they take their time at Blizzard and bring the voice actors together.
They often perform little “role plays,” where they are supposed to behave just like the characters would. This results in funny dialogues and sometimes even really funny outtakes that drift into absurdity. They brought some of those to BlizzCon.
However, apart from these funny inserts, the panel with the voice actors was extremely exciting. They even reenacted two of the cinematics and spoke their now-famous lines. It even had a bit of theater atmosphere and brought a lot of cheers from the fans at BlizzCon.
Anyone who has purchased a Virtual Ticket should take another look at the “smaller” panels – it’s worth it.
Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC is having issues. Players report that their RDR 2 crashes, screen goes black, or they get kicked to the desktop – “has stopped unexpectedly.” For some players, it doesn’t even start. We’ll show you fixes here to resolve the issues.
What is the problem? Yesterday, on November 5th, Red Dead Redemption 2 launched on PC. However, the launch was far from smooth for some players. Many report crashes and black screens. Red Dead Redemption 2 then “exited unexpectedly”.
Some players cannot even start the game, while others get stuck on endless loading screens.
Reasons for these issues can include outdated graphics drivers, anti-virus programs, or the Rockstar Games Launcher itself. We will show you how to start the game.
1. Update Rockstar Games Launcher – against PC crash
What should you do? To fix some of the reported issues from the first hours, Rockstar Games has released an update for its new Rockstar Games Launcher.
You should definitely install this to ensure that the launcher runs smoothly. The update should automatically download and install when starting the launcher. The new version number is “v1.0.9.164”.
2. Exceptions for Anti-Virus Software
What should you do? If the launcher doesn’t start correctly or doesn’t download updates, it may be related to anti-virus software.
The solution is to add exceptions in the software for Red Dead Redemption 2. As a test, you can temporarily disable the software and try to start the launcher and Red Dead Redemption 2. If everything works with the anti-virus software disabled, then that is where the issue lies.
3. Update Graphics Drivers – for “exited unexpectedly”
What should you do? In some cases, an outdated graphics driver can cause issues while playing. Black screens or unexpected game crashes can be the symptoms. Make sure your drivers are up to date.
Download the latest drivers, install them, and then perform a restart. After that, try to play Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC again.
4. Run Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC as Admin
How to do that? A common issue with Windows is user rights. Some games or programs simply need to be run as an admin. The reasons are deeper, but the execution is quite easy.
Locate the Red Dead Redemption 2.exe on your PC. It is either in the folder where the game was installed or as a shortcut on your desktop. Right-click the file and select “Run as Administrator.” In the next dialog, confirm and then RDR 2 should start on PC.
5. Safe Mode of RDR 2
What should you do? If none of the solutions above work for you, then the safe mode of Red Dead Redemption 2 may help you.
After the game crashes with the error message “Red Dead Redemption 2 exited unexpectedly,” there is an option for Safe Mode. If you select this, the game will start with significantly reduced graphics settings. Try adjusting these settings piece by piece if everything runs smoothly.
Did any of the solutions help you, or do you have further assistance? Then feel free to write them in the comments. If Red Dead Redemption 2 starts on PC, use these tips right away:
