     This Lost Ark cursor bug can break the new legion raid

Players report that a frustrating new Lost Ark cursor bug is affecting the MMO game and can be game-breaking, particularly when undertaking the new legion raid that got added to the fantasy game as part of the May update.

As reported by aggravated players this week on the Lost Ark bug forums and on Reddit, this new bug - which doesn't seem to have been present previously, so most likely arrived in the recent May update - basically causes items such as health potions to get stuck to the mouse pointer. This isn't just a cosmetic problem, unfortunately, as it stops playing from clicking on anything too.

Players suggest the primary bug fix for this problem is either to reload or move to a new area, such as by teleporting - unfortunately, this doesn't help anyone taking on the Valtan boss in the May update's big new Lost Ark legion raid. If the bug hits, players are stuck in the battle with no way to escape or help fight Valtan. This is the way friendships are lost.

     Vampire Survivors patch 0.6.0 notes tease in-game merchant

The new Vampire Survivors patch 0.6.0 notes are here, with all the details on the update for the roguelike game due tomorrow - well, most of them anyway. The notes confirm new Vampire Survivors power-ups and a bonus stage, and the teaser reveals a clock weapon, an in-game merchant... and something weird about to invade.

The 0.6.0 update for the vampire game is due to release Monday, May 23, and the patch notes are now available on the Vampire Survivors Discord. As any fans will have realised by now, the patch notes are deliberately dry and non-specific, so "1 new weapon" could turn out to be swarms of angry cats.

Developer Poncle confirms an additional stage, two new Arcana abilities, another rank to the 'Skip' power-up, and "1 relic to access 2 minor gameplay mechanics". There's a lot unsaid here, despite Poncle suggesting the patch will have "less content than usual" as they prepare for the bigger update 0.7. They also say one of the new mechanics is for people "who simply enjoy playing the game even when there's nothing left to unlock".
