We are less than two weeks away from the highly anticipated release of the Mass Effect Legendary Edition. The remastered trilogy is going to feature a shiny and upgraded experience for players, but according to a recent leak, it would appear that there will be a day one patch.

Of course, this is fairly standard in today’s day and age and not the least bit surprising. This particular leak regarding the Mass Effect Legendary Edition and its possible day one patch was originally spotted by Twisted Voxel on Orbis Patches. Said patch includes the likes of improved stability, various performance tweaks, and more. It apparently comes in around 11.8GB in terms of size as well.

Here are the patch notes for version 01.01 of Mass Effect Legendary Edition, according to Orbis Patches:

• Improves performance
• Improves stability and fixes crashes
• Improvements to Ambient Occlusion (AO)
• Lighting improvements – both visual

The Star Marine Community

Unless you’ve been living on the edge of the frontier, there’s no doubt that you’re at least familiar with Star Marine. InterDimension Software’s red-hot ground combat simulation game has been tearing up sim pods across the empire. Since its release, countless appearances have made James Romanov the go-to face of the ‘realism in gaming’ debate, while technical mastermind James Vandyke has been declared the ‘Next Gaming God’ by Hitbox magazine. While the release has had its fair share of detractors, with complaints ranging from ethical questions about whether it’s appropriate to let players assume the role of outlaws in the Walzer Massacre to a recent spate of illegal hacks, the game has still managed to garner an impressively loyal community who’ve embraced Star Marine, flaws and all.

The group as a whole is hard to

In our continuing mission to share bits of Wing Commander history from around the world, today we have a review of Wing Commander from the January 1992 edition of the Spanish gaming mag Micromanía. This comes from the RetroManía30 Podcast. I used to love all those little insets describing the fighters and stuff like that. The little cuts on the corners of the screenshot boxes also give it kind of a spacey cockpit vibe. I'm not so sold on the pink background, but it was the '90s!

There goes the review of Wing Commander (1990), published in MicroManía # 44 (SE). It was the beginning of a long saga, which to this day continues to have a multitude of followers. A space flight simulator, with a spectacular cinematic setting. A great title!

As a double feature of Spanish content, The Game Abbey also has a Spanish language retrospective feature on the WC series. Language transition captions work on this

We like to share some details about the current status of the Linux port.

We were able to “hack around” some shader problems we had in OpenGL with objects very far away.

The most predominant OpenGL issue we have not solved yet is the dynamic directional lighting for translucent materials. For some reason all objects with this material are instead lit by non-directional light, which makes them way too bright.

We reached out to Epic to help us on this topic.

We are excited to announce the return of the Phoenix Prize Pack, which return to Star Trek Online on PC from July 18th at 8AM PT til July 25th at 10am PT. Just like Zefram Cochrane’s experimental vessel, the Phoenix Prize Pack blazes a trail into new frontiers!

Purchasing and opening this promotional prize pack will offer players the unique opportunity of obtaining many otherwise inaccessible items, ships and equipment, which were previously available from events or promotions, or as other limited-availability rewards.

The AI Team put effort into stability and optimization for the recent alpha releases and patches.

AI gunships gained new tactical options, including the introduction of a new behavior that allows them to circle enemies and use their turrets to attack from a constant distance. Designers can easily modify this behavior to change things like the optimal attack range and when to disengage the target. The ‘fly-by’ and ‘breakaway’ tactics were also amended to make better use of the predicted hit position and allow ships to better evaluate the

The Pilots Federation has reported that five independent ships have been attacked by terrorist organisation the League of Reparation, with the loss of all crewmembers.

No details have been released regarding specific names or locations, except that three of the ships were attacked in Alliance-controlled systems, one in a Federal system and one in Imperial space.

The Pilots Federation also confirmed that the message 'FOR JAMESON' had been etched by laser beam into drifting hull fragments from all five ships.

Captain Niamh Seutonia, a member of the tri-power taskforce investigating the League, released this statement:

"We are treating these incidents as terrorist actions by the League of Reparation, targeted against people with ancestral connections to the INRA. Analysts have been despatched to all five locations."

"Meanwhile, we have determined that League agents receive their orders via

Want to work with a star? Your dream could come true if you get hired by Steven Petrarca Events. While the delta variant continues to scourge across the land in my area and many others, California has taken a relatively modest hit and the fancy gathering industry appears to be booming. SPE is hiring, so the opportunity exists to pick up gigs working as "servers, bartenders, models/brand ambassadors, tray passers, scullery, and more!" I looked it up, and scullery has something to do with washing dishes. Mr. Petrarca has been doing this for almost fifteen years now and has garnered even more attention in the hospitality industry than in the acting business - where he famously starred Lance Casey in Wing Commander Prophecy!
