Gamers gate is taking pre orders for Dark Souls - prepare to die edition at $39.95. It's very nice that they aren't charging $60 for this game. Does it make up for the almost certain bad console port? Who knows. I'm still looking forward to this game though, it's just a shame that it comes out on August 24th, one day before GW2's head start.

Dark Souls is out for the pc and there are already people hard at work fixing things for the port:

http://www.neogaf.co...ad.php?t=488240

If you're getting the pc version this is worth checking out. Makes you wonder if just a single dedicated fan can do this in less than 24 hours after the game is released how come the devs couldn't do it themselves in the months since they announced the pc version?

Whatever the case mods are what make pc gaming great and I can't wait to play this game in the next week or two after I get my GW2 fix out of the way.

When I had my 360 I enjoyed the game, almost bought it for PS3 but then heard about the PC version. All the subsequent stories of the bad port killed it for me though. Hopefully, like you say trag3dy, the modders can really make the game what it should be on PC. I just might get it.

Did you get the game already?

Yes it is a quick/bad port but it works.

I am glad they actually listened to fans and released it for PC (with new content). Right from the start From Software have said they don't have much experience with PC development and are struggling. So it was expected that the port wasn't going to be great. I am just hoping a lot of people still buy the game because you have to give them credit for having a go and listening to fans. A lot of publishers don't do that.

Also if people buy the game, it might make them invest more in PC development for future games. I'd love an Armoured Core on the PC.

Glad the mod cleans up the screen a bit but the game is still perfectly playable without. I'd rather have this as it is on the PC than no Dark Souls on the PC.

I am getting annoyed with people invading my game. I was in the depths and quite far in, had loads of humanity, lots of souls. Some guy came in and killed me. So i had to get back down there to retrieve it. Nearly there and i got cursed (no humanity) and died! So i lost all my original souls/humanity!

I know the game is supposed to be hard but i wish i could switch off people invading my game. I don't want to have to block the game with my firewall, just to stop it going online.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
