If you’re picking up a new Microsoft Surface laptop, you could now indulge in a bit of retro gaming while waiting for Windows to finish crawling through the interminable setup and updates process.

Payday 3 has had, shall we say, a rough launch, and one of the main sources of player protest has been its progression system.

Microsoft’s Copilot feature is rolling out to users worldwide. You’d expect something like giving an AI assistant to a couple of hundred million users to have a glitch or two, and that’s what’s happening if you’re an AMD user with customized Adrenalin software settings.
