Microsoft Says Id Tech Is Safe, Former Staffers Say They’ve Fired Everyone Who Could Save It

Microsoft Says Id Tech Is Safe, Former Staffers Say They’ve Fired Everyone Who Could Save It https://ift.tt/xFsVPMw Id Software was hard hit by the Xbox "reset" this month that saw scores of developers laid off--with more retrenchments on the way--and there's a big fear that the Doom developer could be reduced to a smaller role within the gaming division. Fans of the studio are also concerned with the future of idTech , id Software's proprietary engine that has powered its games through multiple gaming generations, with it possibly being binned in favor of Unreal Engine 5. Officially, Microsoft's company line is that everything is just fine at id Software even after it lost 136 employees--around half the studio--while the developer also posted a statement online where it said that it has all the staff it needs to continue building games and working on id Tech.

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.
