Game Release Dates Of April 2020: PS4, Switch, Xbox One, PC
If you thought March already had enough to keep you busy with big games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Doom Eternal, then you're mistaken. April is nearly upon us, and with it comes riveting dose of nostalgia in the form of top-tier classic game remakes, Final Fantasy VII and Resident Evil 3. Another notable standout this month is Microsoft's Gears Tactics, an XCOM-style spin-off of the Gears of War franchise, which comes alongside several other releases both big and small.

Resident Evil 3 (PS4, Xbox One, PC) -- April 3
Following the success of last year's Resident Evil 2 remake, Capcom is already giving us a remake of Resident Evil 3. As returning series protagonist Jill Valentine, you embark on a perilous journey to survive the early days of Raccoon City's zombie outbreak. All the while, a towering bioweapon known as Nemesis hunts you at every turn, making your struggle to escape that much more difficult. Like its predecessor, RE3 reimagines the events of the original to create a unique survival-horror experience that looks to defy the expectations of longtime series fans, while also terrifying and surprising newcomers.

Fortnite Dog House Locations: Where To Destroy Dog Houses
Fortnite's Week 6 challenges of Season 2 are now live, and like last week's batch, these are themed around the Meowscles skin. That means that you'll need to do some cat-like things to complete a few of the missions, such as destroying dog houses. If you're not sure where those can be found, we've put together the map and guide below to help you out.
Where Are The Dog House Locations?
Dog houses aren't exactly prominent fixtures, so you may have some trouble tracking them down. Fortunately, there are quite a few of them scattered around the map, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find three and complete this challenge. Many can be found by houses in big residential areas like Pleasant Park and Holly Hedges, so you'll definitely want to narrow your search to places like that. To make it easier, we've marked down some areas where you can reliably find dog houses on the map below.
Couldn't really find a tutorial on the net about installing Plugins/Mods on your dedicated server.
So further more I have you here!
First find some Plugins/Mods over at this link:

How to download to the server: A16 Valmod plugin has a Github download link.
So we will use Git to extract the link to Ubuntu/Debian systems.
How to Install Server Side:
Find 7 Days to Die Local Files (Ubuntu system first)
FILEZILLA Method:
Open the Ravenhearst zip. Open the first folder inside. Inside is a Data and Mods folder. Drag and drop these folders into the main game's directory.
From Terminal:
Valmod is a github link so we will use wget
Navigate to your 7daystodie folder. Usually inside /home/user/steamcmd/7daystodie.
Command:
Code:
cd /home/usersteamcmd/7daystodie_Data
wget https://gitlab.com/jaxteller718/ravenhearst_6_2_server_files/-/archive/master/ravenhearst_6_2_server_files-master.zip
unzip ravenhearst_6_2_server_files-master.zip
rm ravenhearst_6_2_server_files-master.zip
cd ravenhearst_6_2_server_files-master
cp -r Mods ../
cp -r Data ../
cp -r 7DaysToDieServer_Data ../
mv serverconfig.xml ../
cd ..
rm -rf ravenhearst_6_2_server_files-master
With these mods you have todisable EAC though. Just FYI
How to Install Client Side:
Right Click 7 Days To Die and select properties
Click the Local Files Tab
Click the Browse local files button.
Download Client files here:

COVID-19 is everywhere. In this article, I want to express my deep gratitude for the doctors, nurses, and medical personnel working 70-hours or more per week to mitigate the adverse effects of the virus.
Here’s a pic of Finxter user Albrecht, a “retired” medical doctor supporting a COVID-19 test station in Germany:
I asked the Finxter community to show Albrecht some support and encourage him in his fight against COVID-19.
Encouragements
Because the response has been huge, I decided to write this short blog article to collect some of the responses.
God Bless You
Dear Albrecht, This is Anugraha from India. I really appreciate what you are doing for us. I will pray to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ that you be protected from the virus and that the people under your care and the care of doctors worldwide recover. I salute you and respect you. Men like you are the reason I want to become a doctor. God will honour you and bless you.
Anugraha
High Fives
HIGH Fives to all the people giving time to help their community!
The Southland’s News Leader
Thanks
Thanks to Albrecht from our side!
Wajid
Desire to Help
Hello Doctor, I do believe that no amount of money would drive you to offer this service. It can only be in the desire to help humanity. I wish I could do the same, but I surely can’t. Bravo! Halliday Johnson Finxter user
Medicine to Immunity
If you want to take my suggestion then first make the medicine to increase high immunity power of people then only the search for the Corona treatment…… thanks for taking advice from me …

UK Should Do More
Hi from the UK,
my wishes go to Albrecht’s medical team. They are in luck—at least they have PPE (clothing) unlike NHS in UK who don’t as it is conveniently held up in a logistics mess up. Meanwhile celebs in UK have been busy buying testing equipment at £385 each whereas our front line nurses and doctors don’t have access to such tests. Other than that we are hoping that our UK government is mysteriously taken ill with some unknown illness as they are behaving in an appalling way to British Public. Finally our schools are closing BUT not until next Monday Wishing Europe all the best Oh we were once a part of that amazing place until a corrupt band took over our government and highjacked our press with such wonderful newspapers full of intelligent writings such as Mail and Sun!!! Keep up Pythoning!! Regards Nigel
Hats Off
My heartfelt thanks and regards to all the Doctors. We are very grateful for your contributions especially during these unprecedented events. May God bless You. Hats off to you all. Many Thanks. Gia
With such a great support, I’m sure Albrecht is not going to stop soon.
Participate in hackathons! Here’s an example from the German government initiated: https://wirvsvirushackathon.org/. Those hackathons start all over the world.
Be creative with your Python skills! Consider Albrecht’s question: How could we reproduce [the mathematical side of the outbreak] in Python code? Start your new coding projects now that solve real-world problems that arise because of COVID-19.
Code from home! (And reduce your physical contacts by half.) This mitigates the spread of the disease, keeps the health system intact, and helps the environment too.
NB: it might not thrill most of you to hear that the majority of deals are Uplay keys, besides the EMEA region. If you are interested in Steam only, Ubisoft is also having a sale right now.
EB Canada Reminds Us To Set Aside 24 GB For The XCOM 2: Collection On Switch
The Nintendo Direct Mini earlier this week revealed a lot of upcoming third-party titles for Switch. 2K, in particular, announced three of its major franchises were en route to the hybrid system. This had a lot of people buzzing until the huge download requirements for the physical versions were uncovered.
At the time of this announcement, a 2K press release said the total size of the XCOM 2: Collection would “not exceed 24 GB” and now a page listing for the upcoming release on the EB Games Canada website says a download of “at least 24 GB” will be required. Slightly different wording, but hey – it still mentions 24 GB.
Game requires download of at least 24 GB. microSD card recommended (sold separately). Storage requirements may change, visit xcom.com for details.
As stated in the official PR, the XCOM Collection for Switch is being released on an 8 GB cartridge, containing two base missions – with the rest of the content requiring a download.
Mini Review: Mystic Vale – Green-Fingered Players Take Note
It’s all well and good to want to save and enrich the environment, but is gardening really good fodder for a deck-building card game? Most such games we’ve experienced are about legendary battles between blade and magick, not cultivating plum trees. But keep an open mind and you’ll find plenty to enjoy in the digital version of John D. Clair’s Mystic Vale.
An inherent problem with digital card games is that an impersonal tutorial naturally lacks the ability to answer your questions in the same manner as, you know, chatting with a physical, extant human being. So your first pass through Mystic Vale’s tutorial may find you glazing over at the onslaught of information. That’s not to say it’s a particularly complex game, but the way it teaches you how to play is non-ideal. While the presentation of the game area is fundamentally well done once you know what everything means, it’ll take you a few games and re-reads of the rules to properly understand how everything fits together. Once you do, though, there’s a lot of fun to be had.
In an interesting twist, this is a deck-building game where not only must you build said deck, but you’ll also piece together your cards in thirds, each “slot” on each card potentially conferring you bonuses in each phase of the game. You’ll begin by drawing cards in the “Planting” phase, being careful not to draw too many and reveal too many Decay symbols – that’ll cost you your turn. Following this – in the “Harvest” phase – you’ll purchase Advancements to slot into your hand, with the ultimate aim of acquiring Victory points by crafting desirable cards from the selection of Advancements. You’ll also gain Spirit Symbols that you can spend to acquire Vale cards which grant longer-term bonuses to help turn the tide in your favour. As your cards are shuffled back into the deck and come back around, you’ll be able to bolt more and more Advancements on them until they’re truly formidable. After the pool of Victory Points have all been distributed to the players, the game is over. The Points are totted up and whoever holds the most, naturally, is the victor.
Clearly, it’s not the easiest game to describe, yet once it clicks with you it’s pretty simple. The important part here is how well it works on the Switch, and on that front it’s good news. As well as the expected (and easy to set up) hot seat and local multiplayer, Mystic Vale supports online play with iOS, Android and Steam players, which is an excellent feature. It works excellently on Switch both docked and undocked, with the UI easy to navigate so you’ll never find the controls get in the way of your strategy. As well as traditional controls, you can also play with the touchscreen, which works brilliantly and ended up being our preferred means of input.
Mystic Vale looks as good as it needs to, with no clutter to speak of and all the information you need to inform your decisions only ever a swipe away. It’s not a complex game but it is an involved one in which you’ll make a lot of choices and take a lot of gambles. We’d say that the biggest compliment we can give Mystic Vale is that after just a few games we were looking online for the physical version to get our friends involved. It’s a quick play (games generally won’t stretch past 20-30 minutes) and it’s a lot of fun to spend time with. A polished, playable way to spend any allotment of time.

Fixes for Beta and Delta
We’ve heard your feedback, and we’re happy to announce the following fixes have been implemented for this 2004 build:
Achievements
Fixed an issue where achievements would not unlock or track progress correctly.
Networking
Users should now be able to connect to network when password contains trailing space.
Note: Please submit feedback if you are unable to connect to network.
System
To reduce user confusion, changed the wording of the button shortcut labels in Guide from “System options” to “More options”
Various updates to properly reflect local languages across the console.
VUDU App
Fixed an issue that prevented the VUDU app from loading after being launched.
Known Issues for Beta and Delta
We understand some issues have been listed in previous Xbox Insider Release Notes. These issues aren’t being ignored, but it will take Xbox engineers more time to find a solution. We appreciate your patience at this time!
Audio
Users who have Dolby Atmos enabled and console display settings set to 120hz with 36 bits per pixel (12-bit) are experiencing loss of Dolby Atmos audio in some situations.
Workaround: Disable 120hz or set Video Fidelity to 30 bits per pixel (10-bit) or lower.
Home
Users who use Energy-saving power mode may see the dashboard showing no network connection on boot. We are aware of the issue and investigating.
Note: The dashboard will refresh once the network connection is established, but may take up to a minute.
My Games & Apps
Users have reported seeing black tiles instead of game artwork when browsing their collection.
Some titles in collection may appear with a “trial” tag incorrectly in collection.
Networking
Users have reported being unable to connect to network when password contains trailing space.
Workaround: Use a different network password without that character.
Profile Color
Sometimes users may encounter the incorrect Profile color when powering on the console.
Are you not seeing your issue listed above? Make sure to use Report a problem to keep us informed of your issue. We may not be able to respond to everyone, but the data we’ll gather is crucial to finding a resolution.
