I don't know if this belongs in the actual article or not, but I was able to stop the game from loading online ads which appear at the bivouac and starting line by adding the following to my %WINDIR%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file.
127.0.0.1 anzusafeframe.azureedge.net 127.0.0.1 assets.anzuinfra.com 127.0.0.1 caps-server.anzu.io 127.0.0.1 emqx.anzuinfra.com 127.0.0.1 events.anzuinfra.com 127.0.0.1 l1-1.anzu.io 127.0.0.1 logic.anzuinfra.com 127.0.0.1 mgw-2.anzuinfra.com
I think this would've qualified for the article, in fact. Even more so, I could possibly submit those entries to AdGuard DNS Filter and AdGuard Base Filter.
Let's see how this goes: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/issues/134837 (Note that my wording in that issue report does not mean that I don't trust you 100%, it's just that I had no way of confirming most of it.)
Thank you very much!
One more detail I forgot to mention is that if the ads were already downloaded before blocking them with hosts or AdGuard, the cached images can be cleared by deleting the hidden %APPDATA%\Cache\ directory.
Okay, so they've added entries to block *.anzu.io thus far, but they seem to want to test the other 6 domains individually. The easiest way I can think of for how to do a test that'd meet their usual testing standards, would be to set the PC's IPv4 DNS server to AdGuard DNS Public, and then adding one of the remaining domains at a time to the Hosts file until the ads are blocked. More details can be found in the GitHub thread above.
