US Court Orders Call of Duty Cheat Maker to Pay Activision Over $14 Million in Damages and Hand Over Domain Name

A video game cheat developer has been mandated to give Activision its domain name and pay over $14 million in damages for selling cheats to the masses including a few high-profile names in the Call of Duty community.

In addition to receiving $292,912 in legal expenses and $14,465,600 in statutory damages, Activision was also granted a permanent injunction by the United States District Court of the Central District of California to stop EngineOwning’s “unlawful conduct” and to take control of its domain.

Besides COD, sells cheats for several Call of Duty games as well as Counter-Strike, Battlefield, and Titanfall. While developers of the games as mentioned earlier are yet to join in on the lawsuit, suffice it to say they can pull a similar verdict based on what happened with Activision.

EngineOwning vs Activision

Ironically, due to International laws, the verdict from a lawsuit in the US is restricted to their borders, so the website continues to operate and sell cheats outside the region. Inexpensive yet effective cheats remain accessible to all players outside of the USA at the time of writing.

COD never managed to get rid of cheaters completely but this lawsuit might be a massive victory in their ongoing war against cheat makers.

What Is the Daily Reset Time for Wuthering Waves?

Wuthering Waves is considered to be one of the best games in the open-world RPG category. Early suspicions of the game being a copy of Genshin Impact were quickly washed away, as the combat mechanics set Wuthering Waves worlds apart. The best way to provide a boost to your early progress is by farming resources, enemies, and some quests. But what happens when you have nothing left to farm? Let’s take a look at Wuthering Waves Daily Reset Time.

You have already farmed all the resources and enemies around you, so how to farm more resources in Wuthering Waves? It’s simple, just wait for the daily reset time. Once the daily reset time has passed, all the resources and enemies you just farmed should return to the game in the same place.

As mentioned earlier, this is an important aspect of the game to make progress in Wuthering Waves. Without farming, you are bound to find yourself out of resources at some point.

Wuthering Waves

What time does the daily reset happen?

The daily reset time depends on the server you are playing on. At this moment, Wuthering Waves has servers in 5 regions. Here is the list of servers and their Daily Reset time:

    • CET: 5:00 AM

Some quests may not be available even after the daily reset time has passed as some quests are set to reset every week. When does the weekly reset happen? The weekly reset happens every Monday at the same time as the daily reset.

The best way to check the remaining time before the Daily Reset happens is by checking your Daily Activities in the Guidebook, you should see a ‘Resets after’ timer on the top left of your screen. So what are you waiting for, hurry up and farm as much as possible to maximize the resources you have before the server resets. Click here to read about the backflip challenge in Wuthering Waves.

COD Black Ops 6 Coming to Game Pass Day One

Microsoft recently made an announcement through a post on Xbox Wire, confirming the arrival of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 to their Xbox Games Pass and PC Games Pass. This is the first instance in the Call of Duty franchise that a brand new game is being released as a part of a subscription service.

In the same post, Microsoft has also shared a live action trailer released by Activision for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 confirming the speculations of the game being set during the Gulf War. The trailer also showed an appearance from the infamous President of Iraq, Saddam Hussein. At the end of the trailer, Activision reminded us of the game’s release being scheduled for June 9, 2024 after the Xbox Games Showcase takes place.

Activision touching a portion of history which is considered to be controversial is a big move making fans impatient for the game’s release. The possibility of Saddam Hussein being the main ‘bad guy’ has raised a lot of hype around the game. While we are yet to see any detailed info on the game’s plot line, we have a general idea of the game’s timeline to be set during the Gulf War. The live action trailer alone has guaranteed an increase in subscribers for the Xbox Games Pass and PC Games Pass.

While Xbox and PC players can reap the benefits of Xbox Games Pass and PC Games Pass, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will remain fully priced on the PlayStation platform. This has hinted at a possibility of Microsoft increasing the price of Xbox Games Pass and PC Games Pass. Even if the prices were to increase, some consider this as an excellent move by Microsoft due to the inclusion of a brand new Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Now all we have to do is wait for the game’s release on June 9, 2024. So stay tuned as we will be sharing a detailed review of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

When is Dr Disrespect joining Kick?

When is Dr Disrespect joining Kick?

Dr Disrespect is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, free agents currently available in the streaming market. Since he was mysteriously banned from Twitch in 2020, has grown to be a strong force on YouTube and since the emergence of Kick, he has been closely linked with a move to Kick.

Kick was reportedly in negotiations with Dr. Disrespect which went nowhere as Doc has continued to stream on YouTube. While he has flourished well on the Google-owned platform, moving to a more video game streaming-specific platform would result in significant economic benefits for him.

“He tweeted at us after we signed xQc that he wanted $50M, and yeah…” he said on a May Kick stream. “He’s an amazing streamer, but we need to ground things in reality.” said Kick Head of Strategic Partnerships, Andrew Santamaria.

“I love the Doc. I’ve watched him for years and years. I think he’s one of the most entertaining streamers in the business. But fifty million is fifty million,” said  Kick’s Head of Product Paulie Chianese.

As things stand, unless Doc is willing to give in to his financial demands, there is no way that Kick would be able to sign him to exclusively stream on their platform. The answer to whether Doc will join Kick anytime soon remains a “No” but only time can tell if either party can compromise.

How To Play Wuthering Waves Multiplayer?

Wuthering Waves, the captivating game that has caught the attention of many, is not just a solitary journey. It offers a multiplayer experience that allows you to explore its vast world with friends. Here’s what you need to know about diving into Wuthering Waves with your fellow adventurers.

Multiplayer Mode: Co-Op, Not Competitive

Wuthering Waves introduces a multiplayer mode that emphasizes cooperation over competition. Unlike games with a PvP (player versus player) focus, Wuthering Waves is designed for players to join forces and share the adventure. This co-op mode fosters a sense of camaraderie as you and your friends can explore the world, take on quests, and battle enemies together.

Joining Forces with Friends

You can form a party with up to three players, including yourself, to venture into the world of Wuthering Waves. To start playing in multiplayer mode, you’ll need to reach Level 22 in the game. This level requirement ensures that players have a grasp of the game mechanics and are ready for the collaborative challenges ahead.

Once you’ve reached the required level, you can invite friends to join your world or enter theirs. Adding friends is straightforward and makes it easier to connect and start playing together.

Exploring and Collecting Together

In co-op mode, players can gather materials, such as Pecok Flowers, from each other’s worlds, and hunt for shiny Phantom Echoes. This shared resource gathering adds another layer of interaction and teamwork to the game.

Limitations in Multiplayer

While multiplayer covers a significant portion of the game, certain areas are currently off-limits for co-op play. The Tower of Adversity and Depths of Illusive Realm are two such areas that are not yet available for multiplayer. However, as the game evolves, these restrictions may change, potentially opening up even more content for players to enjoy together.

Wuthering Waves offers a rich multiplayer experience that allows you to enjoy the game with friends. By working together, you can explore the world, complete quests, and take on challenges that would be difficult to tackle alone. Remember, to access multiplayer, you’ll need to reach Level 22, but once you do, a whole new dimension of gameplay awaits you and your companions. Whether you’re gathering resources or exploring new territories, Wuthering Waves’ co-op mode is sure to enhance your gaming experience.

Wuthering Waves Music Not Playing? Try These Fixes (2024)

The eagerly awaited game Wuthering Waves has finally arrived, captivating many with its engaging gacha elements. However, not all players have had a smooth experience. A notable number of gamers have encountered technical difficulties, particularly with the game’s audio. The most common issue reported is the absence of music during gameplay, which detracts from the immersive experience of exploring the game’s world.

Identifying and Fixing the No-Music Issue in Wuthering Waves

While the developers have not yet released an official fix for the music bug that emerged after the 1.0.19 patch, players have devised several workarounds to restore the game’s auditory ambiance. Here are some potential solutions to try if you’re facing the silent treatment from Wuthering Waves:

Adjusting Spatial Sound Settings

Some players have found success by tweaking the Spatial Sound settings on their PCs. To attempt this fix, right-click the speaker icon on your taskbar, select ‘Sound Settings,’ choose your preferred audio device, and locate the Spatial Sound option. Switching this to ‘Windows Sonic’ may resolve the issue. It’s recommended to toggle this setting on and off while playing to test its effectiveness.

In-Game Sound Settings Check

It’s worth taking a moment to inspect the in-game sound settings. Navigate to the Terminal and click the gear icon to access Sound settings. Ensure all volume levels are set to their maximum. Sometimes, game updates can inadvertently alter these settings, so it’s a good idea to verify they’re configured correctly.

Game Restart

Often, the simplest solution can be the most effective. Fully exiting the game and ensuring it’s not running in the background (via the task manager) before relaunching it can sometimes clear up the bug. This method is a quick and easy first step to try.

Exploring Alternative Fixes

Players have shared other methods that may coax the music back into play. Entering specific in-game domains or skill training sessions and then returning to the Overworld, avoiding rapid teleportation between locations, and refraining from minimizing the game with alt-tab are all strategies that have worked for some. Additionally, updating your audio drivers could be a beneficial step if the above solutions don’t work.

Patience for Patches

If none of the suggested fixes restore the music, the last resort is to wait for an official update from the game’s developers. Given that this is a widespread issue, it’s likely that the developers are aware and working on a resolution.

In the meantime, if you’re still experiencing the no-music bug, consider reporting it through the in-game bug reporting system to help the developers address it more quickly.

The absence of music in Wuthering Waves can indeed make the gaming experience feel incomplete. However, by trying the fixes outlined above, you stand a good chance of bringing back the game’s full auditory experience. Whether it’s a simple restart or a tweak in the settings, there’s hope for restoring the game’s enchanting soundtrack.
