SOFTWARE & DRIVERS

Steam had a slow start on Monday just like the rest of us
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/steam-store-issues-july-13-2026/
If Steam is struggling to load on your PC or phone, it's not just you. The store is currently struggling, with multiple issues shown on SteamStat.us.
Currently the store and community pages are reflecting a "Very Slow" status, with several regional servers overloaded and Deadlock's multiplayer API reflecting an Internal Server Error.
The Steam API itself seemns to be flickering between normal and offline. The store and community are also throwing some "Bad Gateway" errors, which means they may not load at all.
We get it, Steam: it's Monday.
Recent updates
July 13, 11:30 PT: After a rocky morning with intermittent downtime and errors across the Steam store, community hub and various game APIs, it's now showing all systems green.

MODS, EMULATORS & FAN PROJECTS

Demon’s Souls PC Fan Remaster Demo Available for Download
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/demons-souls-pc-fan-remaster-demo-available-for-download/
Demon’s Souls fans, here is something special for you today. Modder ‘fromsoftserve’ has just released a fan remaster mod for the PS3 version of Demon’s Souls that PC gamers can experience via RPCS3. So, let’s dive in.
The Demon’s Souls PC Remaster Mod modifies the game’s models to now react to light sources like wall torches and campfires. Moreover, it upgrades armor rendering to use cubemaps. Furthermore, the modder has added normal and specular maps for most surfaces. And, finally, player and object shadows will now blend properly with the baked shadows.
This demo version covers the first two tutorial levels. Fromsoftserve plans to overhaul the remaining areas via future updates. So, make sure to keep that in mind while trying it. This is a demo and not the final version.
Nevertheless, I’m certain a lot of Demon’s Souls fans will want to give it a go. If you are one of them, you can go ahead and download it from this link. If, on the other hand, you don’t have enough free time, you can watch the following video. This video will give a pretty good idea of the visual enhancements the modder has brought. I’ve also included three comparison shots.

New The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind RTX Remix Path Tracing Mod Released
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/new-the-elder-scrolls-iii-morrowind-rtx-remix-path-tracing-mod-released/
In July 2025, we informed you about an early WIP RTX Remix Mod for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Sadly, the last update for it was in August 2025. So, we can assume the project is dead. Thankfully, though, there is another mod that just came out. So, let’s take a look at it.
Created by Naeluk58, this new RTX Remix Mod adds real-time Path Tracing to Morrowind. Moreover, it comes with PBR materials. As such, environments and objects should blend better with the new path traced lighting.
Needless to say, this isn’t the final version of the mod. So, expect some visual bugs and glitches. Nevertheless, it’s in a pretty solid state, allowing you to play the entire game with Path Tracing.
Those interested can go ahead and download the mod from this link. At the end of the article, you can also find a video for it. This video shows off the new Path Tracing lighting. So, be sure to watch it as it can give you an idea of what you can expect from it. Furthermore, the NexusMods page has some comparison screenshots. These can give you an even better idea of what this Path Tracing Mod brings to the table.
>> The article also has the instructions to install the mod.
