Red Dead Redemption 2 launches on PC with a ton of game-breaking bugs and issues

Well, it looks like Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2 has hit a few snags with its PC release. The game was teased to be launched on PC for quite some time now and after it hit the platform, users have already begun complaining about game breaking bugs. There were a ton of problems reported such as launcher issues and game crashes. Users have also reported that even graphics cards like the 2080ti were being crushed under the weight of the game. Clearly, the company did not plan ahead for these types of issues and is now looking at patching the problem up. 

Even the usual fixes for these kinds of issues have been unsuccessful in fixing what can be termed as a broken mess. Players were excited to see Rockstar’s Western epic make its way to the PC but not in this manner. Rockstar have published an article with various steps to troubleshoot the myriad issues plaguing players but even that hasn’t seemed to help matters. Currently, the game is out on the Epic store and on Rockstar Games’ own launcher (which seems to be causing a lot of these issues). The game will hit Steam next month and we can only hope that these bugs and issues are sorted out by then.

Google partners with security firms to flag malicious apps before they hit the Play Store

Google is doing more to keep malicious apps away from the Play Store. The internet giant is partnering with three cybersecurity companies to flag malicious apps before they’re published on the Play Store. Google is calling this collaboration the App Defense Alliance.

With over 2.5 billion active users, Android is the most popular operating system in the world and Google claims that sheer number makes Android “an attractive target” for malicious activities. Android apps have been known to carry hidden malware or spyware an in some cases, even ransomware. The malicious apps have known to infect smartphones siphoning off people’s data to third party servers. Google has had to step in multiple times to take down these apps, but now it seems the company wishes to nip the bud before it’s even planted.

App Defense Alliance will see Google partner up with security companies ESET, Lookout and Zimperium who will scan for malicious apps before they hit the Play Store.

Google already has Google Play Protect, an inbuilt virus scanner that scans every app after it’s downloaded from the Play Store apart from keeping the device updated with the latest security fixes. Play Protect anyway scans the library of apps on the Play Store every day, but it seems the problem extends beyond the market place for Android apps.  

With more companies helping out Google to keep out malicious apps, you might just feel a little more safer using Android devices.
