Microsoft Teams will stop working for all users on IE11 from today onward

Microsoft announced earlier this year that Microsoft Teams, a popular video conferencing application, is all set to lose support and compatibility on Internet Explorer 11. The move is set in motion to urge users to shift to the new Chromium-based Edge browser.

Microsoft has also announced that from 17 August  2021, remaining Microsoft 365 services will also be discontinued on IE11. This announcement states that just after ending the support for the legacy Microsoft Edge browser on 9 March 2021, it would be applied to the Microsoft 365 services.

The company on its official blog post announced that users will have a degraded experience or won’t be able to connect to the Microsoft 365 services or apps.

 “For degraded experiences, new Microsoft 365 features will not be available or certain features may cease to work when accessing the app or service via IE 11. While we know this change will be difficult for some customers, we believe that customers will get the most out of Microsoft 365 when using the new Microsoft Edge. We are committed to helping make this transition as smooth as possible.” was quoted by Microsoft on its blog.

We can see that support for IE11 has been greatly decreasing and support for legacy-based edge browser is also in its last phase. 

You can download the latest version of Microsoft Edge from here, it is now available for Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, iOS, Android, and macOS. So even if you are using an older version of Windows, you would still be able to upgrade your browser experience and continue working with Microsoft apps.

Google removes all fake FAU-G apps from the Play Store

It looks like Google has purged all fake FAU-G apps from the Play Store. As of writing, searching for ‘faug’ or ‘fau-g’ does not result in any apps being suggested. This would come as good news for the developer of FAU-G, nCore games, as well as the players in general. To recall, The Google Play Store was littered with fake versions of the apps that tried to cash-in on the hype surrounding the upcoming game. These games used multiple techniques in order to get people to download them. Some used the same acronym or sounded the same as FAU-G, while others used the same game logo. Most claimed to be a guide for the game, but considering the fact that the game has not been released yet, it’s not known who these guides were for or if the information in these guides was even accurate. 

Those who ended up downloading any of these apps could end up with a bunch of issues. If the user is lucky, they could end up with a cheap asset-flipped game that looks and plays terribly. If they were unlucky, the app could contain malware that may steal data. As such, players are better off waiting for the game to officially release.

Speaking of the game’s launch, FAU-G was supposed to release in November. However, it looks like the game has been delayed. The reason for the delay is not yet known as nCore Game’s Twitter account has been pretty quiet since releasing a trailer for the game on Dussehra. The trailer focused on the Galwan Valley, which seems to suggest that the game will be based on the clashes that happened between Indian and Chinese forces earlier this year. It also shows no firearms, suggesting that the combat will be melee-focused. You can know more about that here.

Vivo V20 Pro price leaked ahead of launch in India

The price of the upcoming Vivo V20 Pro has leaked online ahead of its launch on December 2 in India. The V20 Pro features a 44MP dual selfie camera and Snapdragon 765G processor and was unveiled in September in Thailand.

According to several reports online, the V20 Pro was spotted on Reliance Digital, Poorvika Mobile and Sangeetha Mobiles listed at a price of Rs 29,990. Interestingly, the price of the V20 SE was also spoiled by a listing on Reliance Digital just days prior to its official launch. In the case of V20 Pro, the said listing has since been taken down.

The V20 Pro is confirmed to launch on December 2 which is when the price will be officially revealed with the phone going on sale on Amazon India. As the phone has already been announced we already know its key specifications and features.

Vivo V20 Pro specifications

The phone measures 7.49 millimetres in thickness and weighs 170 grams. The back panel is made from AG Matte Glass that has a matte finish which makes it fingerprint-resistant.

The V20 Pro is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. It runs on FuntouchOS 11 which is based on Android 10. It goes up against the OnePlus Nord as it is also powered by the same processor and starts at Rs 24,999.

CD Projekt Red says Cyberpunk 2077s multiplayer will almost be a stand-alone game by itself

As we reported earlier, CD Projekt Red has said that Cyberpunk 2077’s DLC would be announced when the game was released on December 10. Well, we’ve got more news coming up as CD Projekt Red President Adam Kicinski has also said that the game’s multiplayer ‘mode’ will be an almost stand-alone game by itself. According to a transcription of an earnings call by SeekingAlpha, Adam Kicinski said, “So, first, we don't call it modes. It's a separate, dedicated production, a big production. We think about it as a standalone product.”

So what does that mean? Well, for one, the game could still be connected to the main Cyberpunk 2077 single-player world but will offer completely different experiences, missions and so on. The company has been keeping the multiplayer portion of the game under wraps for now, but we do expect CD Projekt Red to make an official announcement soon enough. The game is scheduled to be launched on December 10, so we should definitely hear more about the various in-game modes then. Although, Kicinski has also said that we should get more news about the multiplayer mode during Q1 2021. 

One thing to note is that the multiplayer portion of the game will have micro transactions but it isn't clear at all what kind of game economy it will follow. Rest assured that if you want a particular piece of gear, you may have to pay for it. But CD Projekt Red have also said that the company intended t deliver a value for money product even when it comes to micro transactions. 

Well, all we can do right now is wait for the game to come  out on December 10. Stay tuned to Digit for more Cyberpunk 2077 news and updates.

Call of Duty: Mobile to get new version of Nuketown map in Season 13 update

It’s the end of the month and pretty much like clockwork, Activision has started teasing the next big update to Call of Duty: Mobile's upcoming Season 13. The developers have teased a new map coming to the game, and as always, internet sleuths have already deduced that the next seasonal update will be the new version of the ever-popular Nuketown map. This time around, it looks like players will be treated to a Russian-themed version of the map that was seen in Call of Duty: Back Ops 4.

Bundle up! It has been getting quite chilly lately...⁣ ⁣ Coming to #CODMobile in the next season! pic.twitter.com/cEDQjb86Tm

The tweet itself doesn’t reveal much about what’s to come, but the house shown in the image is a dead-ringer for the one used in the Russian-version of Nuketown. This version of Nuketown is functionally identical to the standard version of Nuketown, which is a Russian twist. So you get Russian-style buildings and instead of trucks and busses in the middle, players will find Russian locomotives. The map in Black Ops 4 also features snow, which would match the overall winter theme considering that the Season 13 update will run through December.

It is not yet known if the new map will replace the existing Nuketown map, or will exist as a separate map. It is also not yet known if the new Nuketown will be a temporary addition or not, just like the Halloween-themed version of the Standoff map. It looks like we’ll just have to wait and find out.

However, the Season 12 ‘Going Dark’ update is still going on. As the name would imply, the update brought with it special night modes for Crash, Summit and the new Hackney Yard maps. The new mode makes it pretty much impossible to see anything without night vision goggles and as a result, colour and detail takes a hit, making it much harder to differentiate between friend and foe. Besides this and the aforementioned Hackney Yard map, players also got two new weapons. A new SMG and a new pistol. The SMG comes with the option to use 5.56mm ammunition, which lets users use it like an assault rifle, while the pistol comes with the ‘akimbo’ perk.
