The Fire and Ice event (Solstice) in Pokémon GO ends today if everything goes according to plan.
Since last week, trainers in Pokémon GO can take advantage of various bonuses related to the Fire and Ice event. For example, there are more Pokémon of the mentioned monster types, higher experience points for various actions in the game, and discounts on Lucky Eggs in the shop.
If everything goes according to plan, the event will end today. However, the current login issues might cause an extension of the event.
Extension: Fire and Ice Event has been extended by 24 hours
Update 06/20 11:00 PM – The Fire and Ice Event has officially been extended by 24 hours and will now end on Wednesday, June 21 at 10:00 PM German time.

Last Tuesday, on June 13, the Fire and Ice event in Pokémon GO, also known to players as Solstice, began. During the event, you can find more Fire and Ice Pokémon, earn more experience points for good throws and hatched Pokémon, and buy Lucky Eggs at a 50% discount in the shop.
However, the event is only officially active for a few more hours. The event was scheduled from June 13 at 10:00 PM German time until June 20 at 10:00 PM German time. Accordingly, it officially ends tonight.
Since last night, trainers have been struggling with login issues, particularly affecting PTC connections. Login issues in the past have already led to events being active longer than originally planned. Niantic likely wanted to compensate players for the problems.
Due to the current problems, there could also be an extension for this event. But that is not officially confirmed, and is only a speculation from some trainers in the community. We will find out ourselves if the bonuses in the game are still active around 10:00 PM, or if the event really ends as planned. As already suspected, Niantic has now extended the event. More information is available in the update above.
The Steam rating of GTA 5 is currently only “balanced”. Players are showing frustration in negative reviews and collecting signatures to save OpenIV.
The ban on the popular OpenIV mod is still receiving negative criticism from the GTA 5 developers. And this is unlikely to change anytime soon, but rather worsen. So far, nearly 60,000 people have signed a digital petition to save OpenIV. The recent reviews on Steam are extremely negative, and the game now has an overall “balanced” rating.
Signature milestone approaching
Recently, Rockstar Games and Take-Two sent a cease and desist to the developers of the OpenIV mod. In this, they demanded that work on the modification cease. The developers complied with the request and no longer offer the modification.
This frustrates many fans, as with OpenIV they were able to incorporate and use new content or textures in the single-player mode of GTA 5. Entirely new game modes were also made possible through this mod. With OpenIV, it was expected to also allow playing on the Liberty City map within GTA 5.

Since the news of the cease and desist reached the public, signatures for the rescue of OpenIVare being collected on Change.org. Together with supporters, they aim to pressure Rockstar to “legalize” the popular mod again.
When we reported on this three days ago, there were about 28,000 signatures. That number has more than doubled as of today. The petition now has 60,809 supporters. The milestone of 75,000 signatures is thus not far away.
Since the ban on OpenIV was announced, players have been expressing their frustration with the Steam reviews of Grand Theft Auto V. The reviews of games there are divided into two categories: “Recent” and “Overall”.
Recent ratings are from the last 30 days. Currently, there are about 44,000 reviews for GTA 5, of which only 12% are positive. This results in a rating of “Extremely Negative”.
Overall includes all reviews of the game. There are about 234,000 of those, of which only 66% are positive. GTA 5 actually had a good rating on Steam but now only has an “Balanced” rating.
To make this negative trend in ratings even clearer, a screenshot of the reviews was uploaded to the Steam Spy Twitter account:
Most helpful review with a significant message
To ensure the negative reviews are clearly displayed, users vote that the reviews were “helpful” so that they don’t get lost. The top review was rated as helpful by 24,496 people. The message behind it is clear:
We are curious to see how the issue of OpenIV and mod bans will develop and will keep you updated.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the cover star of FIFA 18. Many fans are currently wondering: What happens if CR7 changes clubs? How will EA respond?
“When Cristiano Ronaldo is in your team, it starts off 1:0 from the beginning,” said Zinedine Zidane about the Portuguese mega-star.
This is likely what EA Sports was thinking in this year’s battle for the crown of virtual football when they managed to hire Cristiano Ronaldo as the face of FIFA 18. However, CR7 could now pose greater problems for the publisher.
For the past few days, rumors have been swirling in the football world: Cristiano Ronaldo is said to have intentions to change clubs. Several top European clubs have been mentioned as potential new teams – from Bayern Munich to PSG and Manchester.
Our reader BigFlash88 recently posted a question in the comments that likely interests many FIFA fans: “What will happen if Ronaldo really changes clubs – will he still appear on the cover of FIFA 18 in the Real jersey?”
Cristiano Ronaldo is more than just the cover star of FIFA 18
The potential problems are not limited to the cover: A change from CR7 would also pose challenges for the story mode and the marketing of FIFA 18. This year, EA is fully relying on the multiple world footballer:
Cristiano Ronaldo is the cover star of FIFA 18. He wears the white jersey of Real Madrid.
In the previous trailers, Cristiano Ronaldo was front and center as a Real player. In other words, the entire advertising machinery is built around a Ronaldo who plays for Real Madrid.
Parts of the gameplay were created based on CR7: His sprinting, running frequency, skills, and shooting technique were recorded using “Real Player Motion Technology” to provide more realism and new player personalities.
Additionally, Cristiano Ronaldo is featured along with other football stars in the story mode “The Journey: Hunter Returns”. In this, he is supposed to meet Alex Hunter early on and suggest that he switch to Real Madrid.

A transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo – how would it affect FIFA 18?
The FIFA series aims to bring real-world football action to the virtual field as accurately as possible. When a player changes clubs in reality, it also affects that player in the current FIFA edition.
If the cover star changes clubs before a release, EA Sports will need to respond. A player wearing the “wrong” jersey does not look good on an important cover.
Will the cover be redesigned? Will the story mode be rewritten? Could the release possibly be postponed? Some fans are already imagining the most adventurous scenarios.
If CR7 does indeed change clubs, it would certainly be “unpleasant” for the story mode – however, it does seem unrealistic that it would be rewritten or changed for that reason. After all, this mode only tells the story of Alex Hunter and aims lower than the other modes that aim to reflect reality.
Regarding the cover, an important question arises: What about the licenses? Presumably, there was not only a marketing deal with Ronaldo but also with Real Madrid that allowed the Real jersey to be displayed everywhere. If CR7 now changes clubs, previous contracts would likely have to be terminated, and new contracts would need to be negotiated with the new club. This is a problem that could cost EA time and money.
However, at this point a note: The possible consequences can only be speculated about at present. We have no insight into EA’s contracts. The colleagues at GameStar inquired with Electronic Arts, but they did not want to comment on the rumors regarding Cristiano Ronaldo’s transfer and possible consequences for FIFA 18.
Will there even be a transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo?
The rumor that Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Real Madrid has persisted stubbornly in the media. Every day, there are new reports about where he might go.
CR7 is accused of tax evasion and, as he misses the support from Real Madrid, it is said that he has fallen out with the club. Nevertheless, he has a valid contract until 2021, which includes a buyout clause of one billion euros according to Kicker – an amount that no club in the world would be able to pay.
However, some media are currently reporting that he could change clubs for a transfer fee of 200 million euros. This amount could be raised by some top clubs.
Ultimately, it remains: By September 1st at the latest, there will be certainty about Cristiano Ronaldo’s future. Because then the transfer window of La Liga will close. How a possible transfer would affect EA’s FIFA 18 remains to be seen.
What do you think? If Cristiano Ronaldo leaves the club – will EA respond or will they leave “everything as it is”?
In the sandbox MMORPG Worlds Adrift, players can create and upload their own floating islands in an editor. You can now admire the coolest creations in a video.
Currently, the MMORPG is in Closed Beta, but that doesn’t stop testers from having a lot of fun in the game world.
In Worlds Adrift, the world consists of floating islands. However, most of them are not built by the developers. Instead, you can build your own islands at will using your own editor, equip them with challenges and resources, and then upload them. If the developers accept your island, it will soon appear in the game and can be explored by you and other players via airship.
Create islands according to your imagination
When building your island, you have a lot of freedom in the editor and can let your imagination run wild, resulting in interesting and spectacular creations.
The developers from Bossa Studios are now showcasing these in a video. However, it’s not an official trailer, but one made by fans. Nevertheless, the scenes shown look fantastic. The stylized graphics of the game create a unique atmosphere that is enhanced by the lighting effects.
Join the Beta!
Admire interesting buildings, locations, and decorative objects that give each island a unique touch. This makes it so interesting to travel from island to island in the game and see what players have created there. Watch the video and see for yourself.
If you want to participate, sign up on the official website of Worlds Adrift. With a bit of luck, you will receive a beta key. Or you can purchase one of the founder packages, which will give you direct access to the testing phase.

“Boss Wars”
More Creatures, Gear, Armors, Weapons, & Structures!
DirectX12 Mode for Windows 10! Approximate +20% perf
Random GPU Driver crash fix: TrueSky
GPU & CPU rendering optimizations
[MORE NOTES TO COME]

As soon as official patch notes are available, we will keep you updated.
We have 8 minutes of gameplay from Strange Brigade (PS4, Xbox One, PC). The release is expected soon. Strange Brigade is a coop shooter that resembles Left 4 Dead but has a more relaxed atmosphere.
Strange Brigade takes you back to the 1930s. Players take on the role of – let’s call them – a group of “exceptional gentlemen”, a secret group of extraordinary agents fighting for the British government.
In Strange Brigade, they battle undead and magical beings, traveling the world – just as one would have done in the 1930s. They face mummies, zombies, and a huge minotaur.
Gameplay Video for Strange Brigade
Strange Brigade is described as a mix of “Left 4 Dead” and “Killing Floor”, more exaggerated and silly rather than genuinely creepy, with an atmosphere that one can cut with a knife.
The environment plays a significant role in the gameplay of Strange Brigade, allowing players to use traps. There are also “light puzzles to solve,” as it is said, and players can upgrade their equipment at workbenches.
Here are 8 minutes of commented gameplay from E3. The commentary is by lead artist Andy Pattinson and chief creative Tim Jones.

Today there was a live stream from Japan showcasing the gameplay of Monster Hunter World. It provides insight into a quest that features a spectacular hunt – both in a group and solo. The vibrant world, interacting with itself, will clearly be the centerpiece.
Monster Hunter World will be spectacular and brimming with interactions. Capcom has focused on the core of the Monster Hunter franchise and has impressively crafted the vibrant world.
In the stream, the producers of Monster Hunter World introduced themselves officially. The creator of the series Kaname Fujioka returns to the game and will take on the role of lead art director. Capcom has already confirmed that Monster Hunter World is a main title that is essentially “Monster Hunter 5”.
In the stream, the developers explained that they chose the name “World” because it is a completely dynamic game with a living world.
Monster Hunter World: Gameplay Video – Monsters also eat each other
The stream focused on the gameplay of Monster Hunter World, and we follow a player embarking on a quest. Naturally, he is hunting a dangerous monster.
The monsters also pose a danger to themselves. The food chain is observed, and a larger monster can easily eat what the player intended to hunt for horns, bones, or scales. It’s possible to use the environment to take down the monsters. Everything seems to react to each other. The environment consists of the “Monster Hunter”-typical jungle, featuring deep caves and grottos.
During the quest, a few other players join in midway and help with the fight.

Monster Hunter World will take place in a highly dynamic world where everything interacts with one another.
Monster Hunter World has a realistic ecosystem. Monsters adhere to the food chain and eat each other.
Monsters react “intelligently” and can, for instance, run away or chase the player. This allows for setting traps.
It is possible to use the environment to defeat monsters. An example shown was an exploding barrel that destroys a dam and sweeps the monster away with the player.
There will be “Scout Flies” to track monsters.
There is drop-in multiplayer. Other players can join the first player in the middle of a quest.
There are different weapon types. The gameplay stream featured: a large sword, a bow, a rifle, and a hammer.
It was also mentioned that PlayStation Plus is necessary if you want to play online.
Leya says: The stream unfortunately had poor quality, yet I was captivated while watching. The gameplay showcased exactly what I love about Monster Hunter: Epic, long battles with clever monsters that react to their surroundings.
The world seems, as usual, to be designed with great attention to detail. It is possible to interact with everything and devise a plan to take down the monsters. I felt the essence of classic Monster Hunter.
The gameplay stream was promising and leaves me with eager anticipation.

The update 1.11 for FIFA 17 is available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. It is the ninth title update. Here are the patch notes.
For nearly two weeks, the ninth title update of FIFA 17 has been available on PC. Today, on June 20th, the consoles will follow. On PS4, it is version 1.11.
The update 1.11 is approximately 580 MB in size.
Patch Notes for Update 1.11 – FIFA 17
The update includes the following changes:
Basic stability fixes
Additionally, an optimization in Ultimate Team:
A text overlap issue has been fixed in the FUT Champions leaderboard.
And a gameplay adjustment:
When using an offside trap, players could experience a freeze. This has now been fixed.
Good news for Pokémon GO players: You can now find more gyms and stops in Pokémon GO – maybe even in your area.
This summer is apparently going to be really exciting for Pokémon GO players. The announced gym update with raid bosses and co-op battles has brought a lot of joy to the trainers. But there is more good news: Players have noticed that many PokéStops have been converted into gyms and that there are generally more stops and gyms (even in rural areas).
More gyms and more stops
The gym update in Pokémon GO makes some changes to the gym system in the game. You will then be able to spin the photo disc of a gym and also find items there. Additionally, there will soon be six permanent slots for Pokémon that can be occupied by the controlling team.
Before the update, you could accommodate up to ten Pokémon in a gym. Therefore, four slots would be lost due to the update. Niantic seems to have taken this issue into account and has quickly integrated new gyms and stops into the game. In our Pokémon GO Facebook group, some trainers have already noticed the changes.
In some cases, former stops have now become gyms. This continues to provide opportunities to loot items and also more space for monsters that want to enter a gym.
More stops and gyms in rural areas
This good news also applies to players in rural areas. Trainers in rural regions are excited on social media about now having more stops or gyms in their vicinity.
On Reddit, user CanyonWrn writes that he finds two new gyms and a new PokéStop in his area. As a trainer in a very rural area, this is great news for him.
The integration of the new gyms is apparently not yet complete and is still being carried out. If you don’t see any changes yet, it might take a bit longer in your location. Keep an eye on your surroundings as you go on new adventures and watch for changed stops and gyms.
Additional spawn points added
In addition to the gyms and stops, there are also new spawn points in the game. These are the locations where wild Pokémon appear on the map. Many trainers report that these points have shifted or that new ones have been added.
Pay attention during your next hunt to whether Pokémon now appear in places where they weren’t before.
In Destiny, maintenance work is taking place today, on June 20th. Players may experience the LOGANBERRY error code.
A brief reminder to all Guardians planning to spend their evening in the MMO shooter: there may be minor issues.
Starting at 5 PM our time, Bungie will conduct server maintenance.
By 11 PM, the work should be completed.
No downtime is planned – so you can play as usual. However, Bungie states that you should not be removed from your activities – this is not completely excluded.
Towards the end of the maintenance work, LOGANBERRY error codes may occur, according to Bungie. These could happen to some players. If you are removed from the game due to this error, you should restart Destiny and log in again normally.
No changes to game content or gameplay are expected during this maintenance work.
Maintenance in Destiny 1
In recent weeks and months, Bungie has repeatedly emphasized that they will continue to support Destiny 1 – even after the launch of Destiny 2 on September 6, 2017.
The Age of Triumph was the last content delivery, but server work will continue in the future – or when significant bugs or issues arise. Players should have the opportunity to return to the familiar worlds of Destiny 1 indefinitely.
Recently, the developers announced that currently there are no more sandbox adjustments planned. In other words, the current meta in Destiny 1 will not change. Hand cannons, the Last Word, and the MIDA Multi-Tool will remain the top weapons in PvP.
You can save on these cool vehicles in the Gunrunning DLC for GTA 5 Online. Ocelot XA-21, Pegassi Torero, and Nightshark presented with prices.
The new Gunrunning DLC in GTA 5 Online not only brings you secure underground bunkers and mobile command centers but also stylish sports cars. More vehicles are expected to be released in the coming weeks, for which there is no official detailed information yet.
During datamining, images and prices of the new cars were found, which we present to you here.
Legendary Motorsport with XA-21, Torero, Vagner, and more
Some vehicles are not directly available at the launch of an expansion in GTA 5 Online. This is also the case with the current Gunrunning DLC. At the start, players had flying rocket motorcycles and heavily armored vehicles. However, more interesting cars will be added in the coming weeks and months. At least, that’s what the leak from FoxySnaps claims, which presents the following vehicles:
Ocelot XA-21 – Price 2,375,000 GTA$
Pegassi Torero – Price 998,000 GTA$
Grotti Cheetah Classic – Price 865,000 GTA$
Dewbauchee Vagner – Price 1,535,000 GTA$
Mobile Command Center with Ardent and Nightshark
In addition to the sports cars at Legendary Motorsport, there should be more new vehicles in the Gunrunning DLC. You will soon be able to buy the following new cars through the Mobile Command Center:
Ardent – Price 1,150,000 GTA$
Nightshark – Price 1,245,000 GTA$
Gunrunning – Tuning Vehicles
The shown vehicle leaks come from the experts at FoxySnaps, who in the past already leaked vehicles for the Import/Export DLC. They also published a video in which the new cars are modified.

Xbox players of Overwatch feel unfairly treated. Those who play their favorite hero receive a bad reputation – with consequences.
Those who play Overwatch on Xbox find it hard to enjoy the game when they favor heroes that the community does not recognize as the best choice. Those who do not play by the “meta” often receive many insults – completely regardless of how well they perform with their chosen hero. However, those playing Blizzard’s hero shooter on Xbox One face an even worse problem.
On Reddit, the player DriftingInTheFoam reports that he hardly has any fun with the game anymore because he enjoys playing heroes that he likes. Since players on Xbox cannot directly report others in Overwatch, teammates use the reputation system of Xbox One for that purpose. Those who play in a multiplayer game can receive a rating from these players afterward. Anyone who does not “dance to the tune” of the current meta quickly earns a reputation of “bad” or even “avoid me”.
This leads to the situation on Xbox One where players are mainly matched with others who also have a bad reputation – usually for very valid reasons.
Furthermore, the reported player is often insulted or even threatened, which is also not conducive to enjoying the game. Like in this example:
The post receives a lot of support on Reddit, and there is hope that Blizzard will decide to withdraw from this rating system with Overwatch.
What do you think about this system and its obvious exploitation? Should Microsoft and Blizzard distance themselves from it? Or is it just right?
The upcoming shooter Call of Duty WW2 aims to bring a breath of fresh air to the series – also in the multiplayer mode, which is enhanced by elements from Overwatch and Battlefield 1.
The developers at Sledgehammer Games apparently drew inspiration from the competition to give the multiplayer a fresh look – specifically from Overwatch and Battlefield 1.
Elements from Overwatch
Call of Duty WW2 adopts the Payload mode from Overwatch. In the shooter, you will escort a tank, which you can also enter to eliminate the attackers with its gun. However, there will be no “Winning Kill”. Instead, players will compete to be featured as “Play of the Game”. Therefore, those who contribute the most to the match will receive this special honor.
Battlefield 1 also served as inspiration
Dice’s Battlefield 1, on the other hand, served as inspiration for the “War” mode. This mode closely resembles the “Operations” from Battlefield 1 and will offer a kind of story. You choose whether to stand on the side of the attackers or defenders. As an attacker, you must accomplish a series of objectives, such as building a bridge or destroying anti-aircraft defenses, as well as destroying the enemies’ supplies. As a defender, you should prevent the attackers from fulfilling these objectives.
Call of Duty WW2 makes use of the class feature from Battlefield 1. The divisions in the game offer unique archetypes that rely on special abilities. One of these is the bayonet charge, which players may already know from Battlefield 1.
In The Division, a major YouTuber returns to point out all the bugs that Massive needs to fix.
The name “MarcoStyle” will likely sound familiar to many of you: He has built a reputation as a Division expert, especially in the English-speaking community, and we have occasionally presented exciting insights, builds, or theories from him here on Mein-MMO.
He was mainly known for uncovering and clearly explaining complicated mechanics in The Division. However, the emphasis here is on “was.” Because about three months ago, shortly after update 1.6, he released a video explaining his retirement as a content creator. Due to all the problems that Massive simply could not fix in the game, he lost motivation. He will not be producing any more videos for an indefinite period of time.
Yesterday, on June 19, motivation clearly returned. MarcoStyle mentions that he has recently started playing The Division again and is currently preparing for update 1.7. However, the game still has so many problems that the developers need to address in 1.7.
To provide Massive with concrete footage showcasing many bugs, exploits, and issues, he released this video. He hopes that this will make it easier for Massive to eliminate various annoyances with update 1.7.

MarcoStyle’s return is currently the top topic in the reddit forum, and many are celebrating in the comments that he is making videos again. A moderate tremor is going through the Division community, which has been yearning for pleasant announcements for months.
MarcoStyle addresses numerous problems, particularly focusing on inconsistencies with the healing skills First Aid and Healing Station. The Healing Station heals too little, and First Aid does not provide a “healing over time” effect in certain situations (for example, when burning). He also discusses the bug with the Hasty talent, which Massive already stated is just a UI bug: The talent works as intended, it is just displayed incorrectly.
The attachment skill does not work on all covers, the survival link does not provide a speed boost as intended, and the “One is None” talent causes serious issues when you reload at the same time the talent triggers. Then the weapon jams – you can neither reload nor shoot. This talent has been causing problems since the launch of The Division.
All problems mentioned by MarcoStyle can be found in the embedded video. However, this is by no means a complete list of the bugs.
It remains to be seen whether Massive will manage with update 1.7 to bring the game into a better state.

Last week, E3 was the focus of our reporting, and all the Guardians out there who get their information on Destiny (2) from Mein-MMO had a lot to read. You can find all announcements and statements from the developers during E3 on our overview page for Destiny 2. For many, the most important info was certainly: The beta finally has a date!
However, this testing phase is still a month away. Until then, you can warm up in the weekly activities. Today at 11 AM is the weekly reset.

Kaname Fujioka is the creator of the “Monster Hunter” series and was the producer of the first installments. He now returns as co-producer for Monster Hunter World (PC, PS4, Xbox One). Mechanisms like “Hunter-Styles” will disappear, but new ones will come.
Kaname Fujikoka is referred to by many as the father of the “Monster Hunter” series. He is the creator of the franchise and was the producer of the series from the first “Monster Hunter” to “Monster Hunter 4,” primarily responsible for its organization.
With Monster Hunter World, Fujikoka returns and will contribute as co-producer to the title.
Monster Hunter World will be the next main installment in the series
There were concerns and rumors among fans that Monster Hunter World would only be a side product of the series. However, Capcom has since confirmed that it will be a main installment. The working title of Monster Hunter World was even referred to internally at Capcom as “Monster Hunter 5.”
The same team that worked on “Monster Hunter 4” and “Monster Hunter Ultimate” is now working on Monster Hunter World. The title will be released in early 2018 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, making the series mainstream for the first time

Hunter-Styles and Hunter-Arts will disappear in Monster Hunter World
“Monster Hunter Generations” is the last title in the series that was released in Europe. It introduced the Hunter-Styles and Hunter-Arts, which are various move sets and particularly impressive attacks that hunters could learn. These will disappear with Monster Hunter World.
Instead, there will be other gameplay innovations, such as Drop In/Drop Out coop, grappling hooks, and more open areas.
Tomorrow, on June 20, there will be a live stream from Japan at 12:00 PM that aims to show more of the gameplay from Monster Hunter World.
