Monday news, part two:

VVVVVV goes open source for its 10 year anniversary
https://www.pcgamer.com/vvvvvv-goes-open-source-for-its-10-year-anniversary/
VVVVVV, Terry Cavanagh's gravity-flipping platformer, is a decade old, and to mark the occasion Cavanagh has decided to make it open source. The news was revealed at AGDQ today, and you can get your hands on the source code now via GitHub.

Hop in your flying car and hunt down bounties in Blue Drifter
https://www.pcgamer.com/hop-in-your-flying-car-and-hunt-down-bounties-in-blue-drifter/
Sokpop Collective is a prolific developer of tiny games, releasing a whopping two of its wee experiments every month. The latest, appearing on itch.io yesterday, is the stylish Blue Drifter, a bounty hunting game set on a miserable, wet planet.

The White Door is a new, more 'personal' Rusty Lake game about memories and color
https://www.pcgamer.com/the-white-door-is-a-new-more-personal-rusty-lake-game-about-memories-and-color/
The Rusty Lake games, very loosely speaking, are point-and-click adventures, but it's closer to the mark to describe them as strange, interactive narrative experiences, with hypnotic music, sedate narration, and an aura of death and menace hanging over everything. (...)
A new game was added to the series yesterday called The White Door, and while it looks and sounds a lot like previous Rusty Lake games, the developers say that it's actually quite different from their previous releases, mechanically and in the more "personal" story it tells about a man named Robert, an employee at a bird seed company (which will likely prove relevant in some odd way) who's been institutionalized for... some reason.

Bungie is raising funds for Australian firefighters with a limited-edition Destiny 2 T-shirt
https://www.pcgamer.com/bungie-is-raising-funds-for-australian-firefighters-with-a-limited-edition-destiny-2-t-shirt/
In yesterday's This Week at Bungie update, the Destiny 2 studio revealed plans to raise funds to support firefighters and conservation efforts through the sale of a limited-edition t-shirt. The shirt will be available for pre-order on the Bungie Store from January 16 until the weekly reset at 9 am PT/12 pm ET on February 18. Bungie is still working on the design, but said that a "preview" will be shared early next week; anyone who purchases the shirt will also get a code for the Star Light, Star Bright emblem.

Fantasy air combat game The Falconeer is looking better and better in new teasers
https://www.pcgamer.com/fantasy-air-combat-game-the-falconeer-is-looking-better-and-better-in-new-teasers/
Who wants to ride a giant bird into battle, soaring into fantasy aerial dogfights against dragons, airships, and whatever a razor beetle is? I do, and so do you probably. We last saw some of indie game The Falconeer last year after Gamescom, but it has come a ways since then and only looks better.

GTA 4 is no longer being sold on Steam
https://www.pcgamer.com/gta-4-is-no-longer-being-sold-on-steam/
Grand Theft Auto 4's Steam page no longer lets you buy the game, though there's no explanation why. GTA Vice City did vanish from the marketplace briefly back in 2012 due to a copyright claim over its inclusion of the song Wanna Be Startin' Something by Michael Jackson, but Rockstar have been more on the ball with licencing issues since then. As recently as 2018, GTA 4 was patched to replace several songs from Vladivostok FM in advance of their licences expiring.

Legends of Runeterra, the League of Legends card game, begins open beta testing next week
https://www.pcgamer.com/legends-of-runeterra-the-league-of-legends-card-game-begins-open-beta-next-week/
We described Riot's League of Legends-based card battler Legends of Runeterra last October as having "more than a passing resemblance to Hearthstone and Artifact," while still being more than a straight-up clone of either. A few lucky followers have been able to try it for themselves in previous "preview patches," but on January 24 the game will become available to everyone with the start of the open beta.

First-person puzzler of lights and killer shadows, Lightmatter, releases this week
https://www.pcgamer.com/first-person-puzzler-of-lights-and-killer-shadows-lightmatter-releases-this-week/
Lightmatter is a devious-looking first person puzzle game set to release on January 15th where you manipulate light sources to get from point A to point B—mostly due to all the flesh-eating shadows in between you and the exits from any given room. This is definitely one for fans of Antichamber, The Talos Principle, Manifold Garden, or Portal. It has that story-driven twist, too, with a primary antagonist by voice actor David Bateson—that’s Agent 47 to the unfamiliar. I like how it looks—an attractive aesthetic with a thick-lined, high-contrast art style that really suits it and looks smooth in play.

AI War 2 has a huge new update making strategy’s toughest AI even harder
https://www.pcgamer.com/ai-war-2-has-a-huge-new-update-making-strategys-toughest-ai-even-harder/
Space grand strategy-RTS hybrid AI War 2 has a new patch which cranks up the difficulty by making the vicious AI even more vicious with stronger defenses and increased tactical acuity. With patch notes at nearly 15k words the 1.3 update, per the developers, “almost feels like a sequel in some ways, which is how we like it.” AI War 2 is the sequel to AI War: Fleet Command, a game with what is probably the most fiendishly clever and competitive AI opponents ever in a strategy game. AI War 2 is just as intense, and as the name implies the highlight of the series is just how good the AI opponent is.

The Borderlands 3 Takedown at Maliwan Blacksite event has been moved back
https://www.pcgamer.com/the-borderlands-3-takedown-at-maliwan-blacksite-event-has-been-moved-back/
Takedown at Maliwan Blacksite is an endgame raid in Borderlands 3 that's balanced for a full party of four maximum-level Vault Hunters. But for a limited time, it'll be set to scale down for your party size—though not your level. That means you'll be able to take it on with a small group or even solo, but even then you should be level 50 before you give it a shot. The rewards stay the same, so it'll be a good time for looting.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's Outback Pack profits will be used for Australian wildfire relief
https://www.pcgamer.com/call-of-duty-modern-warfares-outback-pack-profits-will-be-used-for-australian-wildfire-relief/
Infinity Ward has joined a growing number of developers and publishers raising awareness about Australia's wildfire crisis, an annual problem that has been made all the more devastating this season thanks to climate change. The studio has rebranded some Call of Duty: Modern Warfare DLC, the profits from which will be donated to support those affected by the fires.

Explore a cake-filled underworld in free Metroidvania Satan Loves Cake
https://www.pcgamer.com/explore-a-cake-filled-underworld-in-free-metroidvania-satan-loves-cake/
In a cartoonish underworld, Satan spends his days stuffing cake into his mouth, while a demonic version of The Great British Bake-Off plays on the TV. And then, in one moment, all the cake is gone. So, he has to get up and find some, filling his belly with treats that spew from defeated enemies.

https://www.pcgamer.com/failbetters-next-games-are-likely-to-play-very-differently-from-sunless-sea-and-sunless-skies/
Fallen London, the browser-based progenitor of Sunless Sea and Sunless Skies, is celebrating a decade of weirdness and wonderful prose. It's a big achievement given the declining popularity of browser games, and the trickiness in making them profitable. As well as concluding the long-running Ambition storylines, the Failbetter team hosted an AMA that hinted at the series' future.

https://www.pcgamer.com/gta-4-is-no-longer-being-sold-on-steam/
Update: Rockstar has released a statement confirming our speculation that Games for Windows Live is to blame for the removal of Grand Theft Auto 4 from Steam.

With Microsoft no longer supporting Games For Windows Live, it is no longer possible to generate the additional keys needed to continue selling the current version of the game," a Rockstar rep said. "We are looking at other options for distributing GTA4 for PC and will share more information as soon as we can."

Fallout 76 Wastelanders testing begins this week
https://www.pcgamer.com/fallout-76-wastelanders-testing-begins-this-week/
The Fallout 76 Wastelanders update promises to do big things for Bethesda's multiplayer survival sim through the addition of NPCs and companions, a new story quest, dialog options, and other options that will hopefully make it, you know, more Fallout-like. (...)
A "small number" of Fallout 76 players will soon have an opportunity to see what the big update will deliver, by way of a https://fallout.bethesda.net/en/article/6Q8uNfDvJ9ywNGKgzOH9gC/fallout-76-wastelanders-private-test-server-coming-this-month" target="_blank">Private Test Server that's set to go live later this week. The test will be PC only, and sounds pretty restrictive: Players invited to take part will be required to sign an NDA, and will not be allowed to stream, record, or even discuss the test sessions. Testing will take place on a Wastelanders-specific development build of the game, "and you should expect to encounter issues during gameplay," Bethesda warned.

Epic's weekly free games will continue through 2020
https://www.pcgamer.com/epic-confirms-that-weekly-free-games-will-continue-through-2020/
2019 came to an end a couple of weeks ago, but the Epic Games Store's weekly giveaways did not. In fact, it finished the year with a flurry and then started 2020 with a three-fer, before settling back into what appeared to be a familiar one-a-week pattern. Today, Epic finally made it official: Weekly free games are here to stay for 2020.

Is this a BIOS or hardware issue?

First my system wouldn't boot after installing new RAM, but now it does, except the RAM was automatically set to run at 2400 instead of 3200 MHz.

Mobo is advertised as 4400 MHz+ compatible, by the way.

What model motherboard do you have?

Msi gaming edge x570

I was going to complain it wasn't detecting my HDDs but then I realized by dumb ass didn't connect the cables to the PSU...

Wow that's an expensive motherboard. Yeah it's most likely BIOS settings, Enabling XMP in your bios may help.

Apparently it's pretty standard for DDR4 ram to default to lower clocks (2133mhz / 2400mhz)

Some dude on a forum - "RAM typically has several profiles built into it's SPD tables and will pick the default one automatically unless you go and enable XMP, my 3200 RAM set itself to 2133 initially. I enabled XMP and got 3200 but it was unstable so I set it down to 2933 and all is good."

Epic Games Store now has OpenCritic reviews (updated)
https://www.pcgamer.com/epic-games-store-now-has-opencritic-reviews/
Reviews were one of the most notable omissions when the Epic Games Store launched last year. While Steam features both user and critic reviews, the latter provided by Metacritic, Epic customers have had to do their own research. This has finally changed, with many games now featuring OpenCritic reviews.
Update: OpenCritic has clarified how the reviews displayed on the Epic Games Store are selected. It's done through Epic's algorithm, which determines what to display based on "publication notoriety," the disparity between the outlet's score and the average, as well as a few other factors like swearing (they're "generally tossed out") and if the review mentions non-PC platforms.

A sequel, The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters, will take the adventure out-of-doors and into the streets of the surrounding Sehwa District, where student Mina Park finds herself pursued by something "dark and sinister," and that also looks a lot like her teacher. Her hunter is not just some rando lunatic with a knife, though, but a demoness from "the shadow realm" who, for some reason, really, really wants to kill her.

Frostpunk's expansion is set before the freeze, but that doesn't make playing mayor any easier

Frostpunk is a fantastic city-scale survival game that takes place beyond the world as we know it, in a new ice age that puts a question mark on the prospect of human survival. Surprisingly, rather than deepen the cold in its upcoming expansion, 11 Bit Studios has chosen to melt some of the snow, turning back the clock to just before the globe was consumed by ice in The Last Autumn.

Fight real-time battles with a deck of cards in free Nethercard Kingdom

Destiny 2 players are trying to solve a new mystery in the Corridors of Time
https://www.pcgamer.com/destiny-2-players-are-trying-to-solve-a-new-mystery-in-the-corridors-of-time/
Something is happening in Destiny 2's "Corridors of Time," the monochromatic maze-like mashup of time and space that's occasionally accessible through Osiris's Sundial. It's not clear exactly what's going on, but as detailed in this Reddit thread over at r/raidsecrets, players can now acquire a quest to explore the area, through which you can gain access to a secret room and a "mysterious thing." There's also new lore cards to unlock and a bunch of symbols on the floor in a hexagonal pattern on the floor.
Update: Perhaps to avoid another Niobe Labs situation (although honestly, I don't think it's unreasonable for a major puzzle to take a week or so to solve), Bungie appears to be dropping hints: Codes are now appearing every hour on the in-game obelisks. That should get things moving fairly quickly.
