Even after selling 4.5 million copies, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is settling in for the long haul, with its next big update due in December. It brings a significant change for those using mods, prohibiting them from playing in public online sessions.

Explaining the situation, game director Dmitriy Grigorenko revealed that he’s happy to see what players can create with mods and game files were left unencrypted for this purpose. However, they’re also causing stability issues with servers and even affecting those who don’t use mods, corrupting their save files.

As a result, mod users can’t enter public sessions. The good news is they’re allowed in private lobbies for Operations and will apply to Eternal War once it receiv…

Mario Gotze s agent Roland Eitel is adamant the attacking midfielder did not fail during his three seasons at Bayern Munich.

The Germany international joined Bayern from Borussia Dortmund in 2013, but struggled to live up to the high expectations at the Allianz Arena and returned to BVB ahead of the 2016-17 campaign.

Nevertheless, Gotze s representative has stressed his return to Dortmund does not mean he failed at the Bundesliga champions.

We have to treat players differently. Gotze has been playing at the highest level for five years. He deserves much, much more respect, Eitel told Eurosport.

Why are we talking about how Gotze failed at Bayern? He is only 24 years old and has already won five Bundesliga titles, played 118 games for Bayern and fired G…

Verdict: Holland win

Germany will be looking to get their new era off to the best possible start when they face the Netherlands on Sunday.

Holland

Starting with the hosts, while Holland may have failed to book their spot at both EURO 2016 and last year s World Cup Finals, the former European powerhouses appear to be refinding their form. Now under the guidance of former international captain Ronald Koeman, the Oranges find the mood in their camp the highest it has been in recent memory. Picking up a 4-0 win over Belarus in midweek and getting their 2020 European qualifiers off to a winning start, Holland really started to catch the eye during their exploits in the inaugural UEFA Nations League. Sharing a group with both Germany…

Harry Kane admits the season will be a failure if Bayern Munich do not win the Champions League.

Bayern host Arsenal on Wednesday in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final, with the first match last week ending in a 2-2 draw.

Bayer Leverkusen romped to the Bundesliga title at the weekend, ending Bayern’s run of 11 straight league trophies and leaving them with only Europe’s highest honour to play for.

While Kane has excelled individually, his wait to win a team trophy after more than a decade without one at Tottenham could well continue.

The England captain told a press conference: “Of course every player, every club wants to win trophies, that’s the ultimate goal every season, but there’s a process into winning, there’s a proc…

It ended miserably, but Borussia Dortmund are out to put 2014 firmly behind them starting at Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday.

Borussia Dortmund will be out to put a horror end to 2014 behind them when they resume their Bundesliga campaign at Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday.

In a scenario that few could have envisaged just six months ago, Dortmund who have finished in the top two for the last four seasons, including championship-winning campaigns in 2010-11 and 2011-12 start the year trapped in the relegation zone.

Jurgen Klopp s men have won just four of 17 league fixtures and a wretched record away from home, which has seen them collect four from a possible 27 points, has left them fighting to avoid the drop.

Dortmund s miserable league form becomes an eve…

Carlo Ancelotti celebrated a year in charge of Everton with a 2-1 win against floundering Arsenal at Goodison Park on Saturday evening.

A Rob Holding own-goal mid-way through the first-half saw the Toffees claim the lead. Nicolas Pepe equalised from the spot after a Tom Davies foul in the penalty area. Everton were not to be denied though and reclaimed their advantage on the stroke of half-time as Yerry Mina netted from a corner.

Here are three things we learned from Goodison Park:

Fortress Goodison

Everton have certainly been one of the surprise packages throughout the 2020/21 campaign, with the Toffees now bouncing up to second following victory against the Gunners. It was also another very positive result on home soil.

Only near neighbours Liverpool …

Kasper Hjulmand conceded he feels part of something he does not like after Denmark were among the European nations to backtrack on wearing OneLove armbands.

Denmark, along with England, Wales, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands, had planned for their captains to wear the armband – which promotes diversity and inclusion – for the duration of their campaigns at the World Cup in Qatar.

Yet under pressure from FIFA, the teams released a statement on Monday confirming the plan, which was in order to protest against the questionable human rights record of the host nation, would not go ahead.

Denmark drew 0-0 with Tunisia in their opening game on Tuesday, but Hjulmand s post-match press conference was dominated by the furore surrounding the issue.

Bukayo Saka saluted Arsenal s fighting spirit as they withstood a late Tottenham revival to claim all three points in the north London derby.

Mikel Arteta s side prevailed 3-2 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to extend their lead at the Premier League summit to four points over second-place Manchester City with three matches remaining, though the Citizens still have two games in hand.

The Gunners surged into a 3-0 lead before half-time with Saka and Kai Havertz on target after Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg s own-goal broke the deadlock.

The winger s 15th goal of the season his highest tally during a single term saw him become the first English player to score home and away for Arsenal against Tottenham in the same Premier League campaign since Ian Wright in 1993-94.

Twente coach Steve McClaren believes playing regularly in Europe is crucial to the development of the Dutch club.

Twente have made a strong start to the Eredivisie campaign, winning all of their five matches to top the standings, and will look to carry their form into Thursday s Europa League opener against Hannover.

McClaren steered Twente to the club s first Eredivisie title in 2009/10 before enduring unsuccessful stints at Wolfsburg and Nottingham Forest.

While the returning Englishman has labelled the Eredivisie as the club s priority he is not undervaluing the importance of European competition.

The competition (Eredivisie) is the most important, but Europe is vital for this football club, McClaren said.

I think it s vital for the deve…

Bolton Wanderers have completed the signing of Arsenal winger Wellington Silva on a season-long loan deal.

Silva, who joined Arsenal from Fluminense in 2010, has previously spent time on loan at Levante, Alcoyano, Ponferradina, Murcia and Almería.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is expecting the Brazil Under-21 international to impress in the Sky Bet Championship this season.

He s a creative, tricky, quick player, Wenger told the club s official website. He s absolutely stunning to watch and I believe Bolton will be surprised by his quality.

I believe he will do extremely well because he has gained a lot of experience in Spain, he has come back to England and I am confident he will have a big impact in the Championship.
