Sitting in Uni whilst KZ2 is in your mailbox = fail :laugh:

I'll be home at about 6pm. Get some Neowin only games later tonight with however many people we can get. Just create a passworded server.

You still get exp in custom games as long as there is at least 2 human players.

I can't even connect. Keep getting an error (network error code: -931) when I'm trying to load the lobby.

If anyone is getting -931 error a fix for that coming shortly as well.

"Hi folks,

we're on this one and have a good idea why it is occuring. There will also be a new patch released in the next two hours to hopefully fix this. In the mean time, stay cool and normal service will resume shortly.

Seb"

This patch is solely for the network errors a lot of you are experiencing. We're deploying this one a lot earlier today and hopefully it will all go smoothly so I can go and enjoy the release party tonight

At least they are smoothing out niggles quickly.

Can't seem to get online atm, receiving some timeout error at retrieving the universe list - played yesterday for a while and damn it's hard! I managed to improve a little during the online games, but I still get killed quite a lot :p

Yeah, the servers are getting hammered again. They were fine earlier but our American buddies are waking up about now, so I guess that's probably adding to the already hefty load.

Probably not all that big of a load, we do not get the game until tomorrow.

I am not going to start a war with people on here, but *Sigh* why is it that when ever a game comes to the PSN it does not work out of the box?

I know and understand about the servers etc etc. I just feel that Sony should have been ready for this. The game is not even out until tomorrow officially and yet we are having problems already.

Time to switch on Street Fighter IV.

No War from me, I 110% agree and I think it is really a shame overall if this game does not work with little to no issues right away.

I mean I also know Sony uses Dedicated Servers, etc, and I commend them for that decision, but I also feel that after some time they just need to know it is going to get slammed and slammed hard.

Bad news is like I said, we Americans do not get the game until tomorrow, so if there are issues now, there are only going to be the same issues when we get the game.

It'll be just as bad, if not worse :(

I'm hoping things get better later on, but in theory they should only get worse with people coming home for the evening. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Another reason why client-servers > dedicated.

I hope you're joking :p

If problems carry on for days/weeks then maybe we can start moaning, but if it's a couple of minor teething issues day 1, or to be frank day -1 as UK/USA release is tomorrow nothing to get panties in a twist over. If you want to look at games with problems look at Socom or Gears of War 2.

Just home, I'll be on soon!

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors

      That made me laugh! Thank you
    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft's aggressive roadmap to deliver a commercial quantum supercomputer by 2029 has now hit a bit of a snag, and it's not because of a complex sub-zero dilution refrigerator, but rather because of a few lines of basic Python code. A new critique published in the scientific journal Nature argues that simple software errors effectively manufactured the breakthrough that Microsoft's foundational research claimed back in 2025 into Majorana-based topological qubits. Topological quantum computing, the path that Microsoft chose for its research, relies on creating and controlling "Majorana zero modes." These are exotic quasiparticles that theoretically offer vastly superior error resistance compared to the highly sensitive superconducting qubits currently being championed by rivals like Google and IBM. However, physically proving you have created these particles requires sifting through massive amounts of complex electrical conductance data to isolate a specific "topological gap." Because of the sheer volume of data, physicists rely heavily on custom software pipelines to process the results. This is where the Python scripts come in. Now, according to the critique, Microsoft’s data processing software contained fundamental programming errors that ultimately skewed the published results. By mishandling data arrays or deploying incorrect logic within the Python script, the software supposedly discarded "noisy" or contradictory data. Which is why it only highlighted the specific electrical measurements that supported the topological-gap claim. The researchers behind the critique argued that this makes the findings invalid, suggesting the heralded "quantum leap" was actually a false positive generated by bad code and not a product of groundbreaking physics. However, Microsoft is pushing back hard against these allegations. The Redmond giant has formally rejected the criticism, saying that it's just a minor anomaly rather than a fatal flaw. According to the company, while there may have been a minor oversight in the data parsing scripts, it does not alter the fundamental reality of their physical experiment. Just weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum processor, a milestone so significant that the company boldly accelerated its timeline for a commercial quantum supercomputer from 2035 down to 2029. But the new software allegations reopen an old wound. Microsoft's quantum division faced a remarkably similar crisis when a landmark 2018 paper on Majorana particles was famously retracted in 2021 after independent physicists discovered the data had been inappropriately cropped. That historical baggage makes the current Python-related allegations particularly sensitive. If the foundational math and data processing for the 2025 breakthrough are genuinely flawed, the highly anticipated 2029 commercial timeline could easily be delayed or, worse, cancelled.

      Because of what they have done to VMware I will never buy anything Broadcom again.
    • AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs by Taras Buria Earlier this week, AMD released an important graphics driver update. Version 26.6.2 brought AMD FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen Radeon lineup, the RX 7000 series, giving users better upscaling tech that was previously locked to the newest GPUs. However, the driver turned out to be a little buggy, with users reporting installation issues on systems still running Windows 10. AMD quickly acknowledged the bug and today released a hotfix to resolve the problem. The AMD 26.6.3 Hotfix update is now available for download from the official website. Given that it is a hotfix release, it has only one change in its release notes: AMD announced the update on its official X account and added that a WHQL driver update with the necessary fixes would be released next week. Meanwhile, users can apply the hotfix or roll back to the previous driver using the official AMD Cleanup Utility. You can download AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.3 Hotfix Preview Driver from the official website here. It is compatible with all currently supported graphics cards and 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      By Nick H. · Posted

      With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11! I guess we all need a good laugh now and again...
