Battlefield 1 received an update on October 22 that updated the game's anti-cheat and in the process removed any compatibility for the Steam Deck. This isn't the first EA game to adopt an anti-cheat that isn't Linux-friendly, but it's painful nonetheless to see another game disappear from the Steam Deck library. EA is using EA Anti-Cheat (EAAC) in most of its in-house published games now, and the system isn't compatible with the best handheld gaming PC. In fact, it's not compatible with Linux at all, and it's led to a discussion around just how large the Steam Deck user base is if large publishers are happy to remove compatibility without remorse. This also recently happened to GTA 5 on Steam Deck, where an update also added an anti-cheat that is incompatible with Valve's handheld.

Last year, Baldur’s Gate 3 started a CRPG reappraisal. That genre of fantasy adventure fell out of the mainstream quite some time ago, but the colossal success of Larian’s megahit brought it back to the forefront. From Ossian Studios, Pathfinder: The Dragon's Demand is poised to capitalize on that success. Built by Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter Nights veterans, the entire game is based on the Pathfinder module of the same name, which itself is a spinoff of DnD. If that sounds like a game you want to play, the team has finally reached its Kickstarter goal.

The Arc Raiders system requirements have been revealed with the first technical playtest taking place on October 24 and lasting four full days. These aren't the final specs, but they do offer a great insight into where the system requirements may sit come the 2025 release date. With technical tests, the listed specs can sometimes be inflated as the game isn't yet completely optimized and developers can often play it safe by selecting more powerful hardware to account for poor performance. This doesn't mean the best graphics card is required, but the Arc Raiders specs shouldn't be taken as final until specified as such by developer Embark Studios.

The Lomo’Instant Wide Glass features a 90mm multi-coated glass lens for sharper instant prints. | Image: Lomography Lomography has announced an upgraded version of its Lomo’Instant Wide Camera that swaps the original’s 90mm plastic lens for one made with multi-coated glass. The company says its new Lomo’Instant Wide Glass is the “sharpest instant camera on earth,” but while it probably outperforms other Lomography offerings, it’s up against instant alternatives like the Nons SL660 which is compatible with EF mount lenses. And in either case, it’s still going to be held back by the limitations of instant film. Those upgraded optics come with a much steeper price tag. The Lomo’Instant Wide Glass is available now for $279, where as the all-plastic Lomo’Instant Wide Camera Black Edition is still $169. Fujifilm’s own Instax Wide 400 is even cheaper at...
