Popular Steam Wallpaper Program Removes App Over Malware Concerns

Popular Steam Wallpaper Program Removes App Over Malware Concerns https://ift.tt/ZxN0kBI Wallpaper Engine has been a popular wallpaper tool on Steam for the better part of a decade since its release. However, the tool's application wallpaper was apparently hijacked by bad actors months ago who used it to infect users' machines with malware as the desktop wallpaper program ran in the background. Now, Wallpaper Engine's application is going to be permanently removed from the program over those malware concerns. In a statement on Steam , the program's developers stated that users have a limited time to back up any wallpapers used from the application before the app is removed on Monday, July 6. The devs also note that removing the app only affects "0.5% of all wallpapers with actual user numbers being much lower than even that."

Baldur's Gate 3 Can't Enable Pre-Loading Because Of Early Access

Baldur's Gate 3 Can't Enable Pre-Loading Because Of Early Access https://ift.tt/nZUYq3T

Unfortunately for anyone wanting to get stuck into the full release of Baldur's Gate 3 as quickly as possible, Larian Studios won't be able to offer pre-loading for the release on August 3. As the studio explained in a tweet, this absence is due to a limitation on Steam's side that disallows pre-loading for games with an early access release.

As Larian explains, switching to pre-load ahead of the game's release would break the game for anyone still playing in early access. For what it's worth, early access players won't have it any easier when it comes to downloading the full game, as they have been instructed to to delete all saves and mods, and uninstall the game before the full version releases. This means they'll have to say goodbye to characters they may have been playing with since the initial early access release way back in 2020--though Larian promises starting from scratch with the full game will be worth it.

Baldur's Gate 3 isn't a small game, with PC Gamer reporting that the final game package that will need to be downloaded on Thursday is around 122GB. The game will drop at the same time for all PC players, with no early unlocks available. Check out everything you need to know about the full PC release here.
