Minecraft Dungeons' latest event is now live, offering six "winter-themed trails" from now until the end of the year.

It also introduces three new collectibles and two new trial modifiers, which includes a changing number of chests, artifact cooldown changes, and the ominous-sounding "invisible mobs".

Cyberpunk 2077

In the latest of a long litany of issues, reports are now coming in that Cyberpunk 2077 save files are becoming permanently corrupted for players if they exceed 8MB in size.

Though initially reported as affecting games across all platforms, some now suggest it's just a PC issue. However, without confirmation from developer CD Projekt Red either way, players have been advised to "keep a lower amount of items and crafting materials".

In a response posted on the GOG website, CDPR has confirmed that once corrupted, there's no way to recover the save, so it recommends you keep "a lower amount of items and crafting materials".

Cyberpunk 2077

A modder has done what CD Projekt didn't: added in-game haircuts to Cyberpunk 2077.

I was surprised to discover Cyberpunk 2077 does not let you change the haircut of your character beyond character creation. Night City is packed to bursting with food stalls, but there isn't a usable salon in sight.

Enter woodbricks, a modder who has created a working in-game haircuts mod for Cyberpunk 2077 on PC (grab it from NexusMods).
