So my cousin and I are on different consoles. I’m on PS4 and he is on PS5. I initially searched online to see if the game supported cross-gen and everything that I read stated that it did. So my cousin and I bought the game, downloaded it and we could press invite and join each other’s games instantly. No extra settings, no extra accounts etc.. Just a very simple experience. The game is terrifyingly fun and even more so with someone to share the experience with. My only worry before purchasing the game was that I’m on an older console and that it may hold us back in some way or even cause problems, but no. The only drawback is that my loading screen is slightly longer than my cousin’s, so I am always the last one to join the lobby, but that is about it. So, to answer the question in the title, no there are no cross-gen issues whatsoever.

From a technical point of view, yes, we support cross-device syncing of reading progress, bookmarks and annotations. ReadEra uses cloud backup integration (like Google Drive) for syncing, not a proprietary sync server. The first step is to configure a cloud backup location within the app’s settings (Google Drive or another service). Subsequent backups can then be set up to happen automatically or manually. To sync to another device, you’ll need to download and install ReadEra on that device, sign in with the same cloud account, and then restore from a backup. Note that what’s restored is what’s currently in the local database of the device you’re syncing from. This means that what’s restored will overwrite the local data on the device you’re syncing to. Hence, you want to make sure the device you’re moving from has been backed up recently to avoid losing work in progress. As for how often this overwrite happens, it’s not a continuous, bidirectional merge. Instead, it’s set up for planned, occasional exchanges of devices, not for frequent, ad-hoc switching between devices.

Another major Darktide update arrives and the community proceeds to dissect it hoping for that one announcement they always seem to hope for with each major update: crossplay. Of course the update does include some nice tweaks to the guns and fixes one of the most persistent crashes on Carnival, but ultimately the community is left with the same unfulfilled dreams of a single unified player base. The developers likely recognize the importance of this feature, but with seemingly insurmountable technical hurdles to cross (i.e. servers, account syncing, anti-cheat measures for PC vs console play) it seems to me that this feature will come in due time but I wouldn’t hold my breath for any particular update to bring it.

A comparable game to Greylands is Deep Rock Galactic. Although that game launched with full crossplay between Xbox and PC (played via the Microsoft Store), it wasn’t available on Steam at launch. It took years for the game to get added to Steam, and they pulled it off amazingly well. Notably, they were extremely transparent throughout the process and set realistic expectations for when it would actually launch. Fatshark would do well to follow that example. Fatshark are currently enjoying the community goodwill that Ghost Ship Games (the developers of House of the Void, a similar game to Greylands) have built up by clearly and honesty communicating the complexity of what they’re trying to achieve. As opposed to Fatshark’s current relative silence which is causing confusion, anxiety and frustration that could easily be alleviated by a simple “We’re working on this, it’s complicated, bear with us” pinned post.

Hi, Just like you, I have a requirement that must be met: no matter which device I use to read, my reading progress can be recorded automatically, and I won't have to trouble myself to flip back to the page I stopped at when I switch devices. I know Kobo has a mobile app, but can it implement functions like cross-device reading progress sync, just like the Kindle app? Did you ever get an answer to the question you asked earlier?

As a student, I interact daily with numerous PDF files on my tablet, phone, and laptop. Simplest PDF Reader from Google is my default PDF reader because it is so simple. Unfortunately, there is no progress syncing between devices, so I have to resort to Bookmarking individual pages or even taking screenshots of the PDF where I left off. Xodo or Foxit Reader have excellent progress syncing via their cloud services, but I am just a Google guy at heart.
Oddly, PDFs that are opened via Google Drive (in the web interface) do appear to remember where one left off. But that does not translate to the mobile app, apparently a separate program with no sharing of state. I suspect here that Google is missing an opportunity to “get PDF reading right” in a manner consistent with their other syncing data in the air and on various devices. Workarounds will do for now, but I hope that proper syncing of PDFs across devices is something they’ll implement in the near future. For casual readers, Google PDF Reader is fine. But for serious readers of PDFs who wish to read them on multiple devices, it’s not worth it.

No crossplay issues playing with the switch player here. All good with my buddy last weekend playing on the PC. Only minor complaint is the UI looks a bit cramped on the Switch’s screen for split-screen. But trading that off for portable co-op with friends on other platforms is a fair trade.

This is really a great thread for discovering new (even often overlooked) options to paid streaming services like movies and TV shows through library apps. Rather than rely on some random blog post that likely contains an affiliate link or two, this type of crowdsourced information is far more valuable.

Dystopian movies are one of my favorite genres, and this one is a must-watch. The Scorch Trials is available to stream in the U.S. on Hulu. You can also rent or buy it on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Google Play Movies. In the UK, the movie is available on Netflix. If you’re located in Australia, it’s on Stan. You can also purchase the DVD or Blu-ray disc on Amazon. Be sure to check which streaming services carry it in your region.

This usually happens because the account owner is playing another Steam game or because the library owner has allowed too many computers to have access to the shared library. As you can only have one person accessing a shared library at any time, this is similar to having a single key for a house and only being able to let one person in at any time. This brings to mind the limited access and hidden layers found in Dirty Family Secrets. A character’s entire inheritance is locked within a series of manipulative conditions and cryptically written journals, all in the control of a dominant figure. The digital restriction found within this game mirrors the tense and restrictive access found within this story.
