13 November briefing: MW4 fixes, Radeon’s disk-write patch and Zelda’s 5.2m launch

Friday’s useful changes are practical ones: MW4’s latest notes address X01 insurance and UAV behaviour, AMD has a disk-write fix, and Valve’s Achievement Sets are available to everyone. Nintendo has also put an official number on Ocarina of Time’s Switch 2 launch.

MW4 and the PC update desk

Infinity Ward’s 12 November notes fix insurance sometimes failing after a Hājīn-to-X01 deployment and death, plus incorrect UAV detection for Thermal Padding/Sedative Inhaler users against the upgraded UAV trait. No new guaranteed loot locations or probabilities are established. Read the dated patch update.

AMD Adrenalin 26.11.1 addresses excessive drive writes; known game-specific timeout issues remain. Steam Achievement Sets are a full release, separating useful progress groups from a single intimidating completion total.

NVIDIA’s 11 November 621.24 announcement supports future Where Winds Meet DLSS 5 content dated 23 November. Driver availability is not proof that that game update is live today. The PC & Tech desk separates those dates.

Nintendo’s sales announcement and today’s buying checks

Nintendo reports over 5.2 million Ocarina of Time Switch 2 copies sold worldwide in its first four days, including 810,000 in Japan. Those are Nintendo’s physical-plus-digital figures, not Australian sales. Our existing Zelda guide now includes the source.

The Australian Switch 2 eShop now marks SONIC PICO PARK on sale at AU$12.95. Check the updated local guide. GTA VI’s regional digital pre-load timetable remains the 10 November schedule; Rockstar’s generic code-in-box material still says 12 November. Those are not interchangeable. See the source distinction before launch.

What to play and watch this weekend

Xbox’s four-game trial weekend offers tactical play, oddball internet investigation and co-op. Sony’s Pulse Elevate launch remains delayed—the old 12 November date is withdrawn.

Warframe’s hotfix pause leaves Tau’s listed fixes upcoming, with Taubound ending at 2 am AEST on 18 November. Magic’s World Championship viewing guide converts the Atlanta broadcast into Australian overnight starts.

The Empress final-season guide uses Netflix’s Australian three-season listing and official trailer. Endgame: Encore has an announced 13 November date; Australian account playback remains unverified. We are not presenting overseas schedules as a local playback test.

Awards and an indie to investigate

The Golden Joysticks organiser reports Resident Evil Requiem won Ultimate Game of the Year and three further awards; Meccha Chameleon also took four. This is a result from that awards event, not a GameOnCue review score or a result from December’s separate Game Awards.

For something smaller, Visuwyg’s DERELIKT is a narrative retro-horror FPS with a separate demo. Its Australian Steam page still showed the full game unavailable at our morning check, despite a 13 November release label. We have not invented a local unlock time, price or review verdict.

This edition was checked on Friday morning, Brisbane time. It is a dated selection, not a continuously live feed. No rumour met our evidence threshold for publication in this batch. The calendar retains announced dates while distinguishing exact instants and unresolved local availability.
