OnePlus 2 update to OxygenOS 2.1.2 beginning roll out today

Posted on by

While we weren’t entirely sold on the OnePlus 2, we have to give it to OnePlus that they are remaining consistent with their updates.

Today’s update to OxygenOS 2.1.2 is based on Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop) and will arrive over the air for any existing OnePlus 2 owners. OnePlus cautions that it is a staggered roll out, so if you have not seen the update come through, please do not panic or incite a riot.

Here’s the full breakdown of features:

  • Improved UX for preview in Camera
  • Performance improvements on app install and launch
  • Individual icon customization support
  • Fixes for RAW format on 3rd party camera apps
  • Russian & Turkish language support
  • Lockscreen wallpaper support
  • Security patches
  • Bug fixes to System Update to improve OTA stability
  • General bug fixes and performance improvements

Perusing the OnePlus forums, it doesn’t look like there are any showstopper problems with the release, so you should be good to install when it appears.

If you are wondering when they are going to hit a Marshmallow-based version of OxygenOS, the latest word remains sometime in early 2016.

Bethesda Announces Massive $750 Million ‘Fallout 4’ Launch

Posted on by

We knew that Fallout 4 was going to be big, and now we know just how big. Bethesda announced today that it shipped 12 million copies of its signature post-apocalyptic open world shooter RPG on launch day alone, totaling about $750 million. Followup shipments, the developer says, have already begun. As point of comparison, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 sold-through “over $550 million” in its opening weekend. These are different stats, so they’re difficult to compare, but this definitely confirms Fallout 4’s status as either the, or one of, the biggest games of the year.
“A huge thanks to our fans that’ve made this all possible,” Game Director Todd Howard said in a press release. “After four years of development, it’s not complete until our fans get to play it and make it their own. We can’t wait to hear about their adventures.”
Bethesda also announced that Fallout 4 set a record for number of concurrent players on Steam with a whopping 470,000.
