That was not Hailey, my Hailey rocks desert camo and blond shoulder length hair ;) (but the "nun" outfit is selectable for Hailey too )

16hrs to unlock Viessa (basic one, I got some components for ult lepic )

One thing I hate, getting extra descendants comp for those I already have :laugh: including ult bunny

I compensate by admiring my Ult Valby stats o_O 30k+ def and 11k health (which go up to almost 13k with the inversion buff)

Last day off and well spent (not only in game ofc ;) )
Valby' last 2 outfits red & white were awesome. they really know how to sell a product.

It's from GOG. Maybe it's my OS's fault for being something MS don't approve and missing stuff that most expect to be there by default. But I really tried installing everything it might need for that particular game, old net frameworks and whatnot, spent hours at the GOG forums, just to give it all up in the end. Just for the record, I'm not the only one having this issue.
I should probably finish my retro build and have that XP or Win 7 machine for such titles and stop whining about >20 years old game not running. But I'm really not into OS fresh install on my main rig right now.
Have you set compatibility mode for the game EXE? For that old of a game it should be set for either Windows XP SP2 or Windows 98/ME. If you're not familiar with what I'm talking about, see below.
CompatibilityModeExample.jpg

As you can see, there are a number of options to choose from. This is the EXE from Army Men RTS, also from GOG. It doesn't require anything by default, but I set it for Windows XP SP3 anyway.

Would you know did they fixed the multiplayer? If so, I might finally pull the trigger.
No, never played it mp.

Also they changed the map layout so my old save is useless. Oh well..

FH5 "Hide and Seek" is lame beyond belief if you are expecting - Hide and Seek.

What it ends up being is actually quite fun if for no other reason than the early days of this new game mode have been almost free of cheaters and exploits. Very much a get in while the getting is good situation. Effectively they have made an open world "Bangers" match with very little seeking out the target to drive behind and charge up (exceedingly lame mechanic) a detection meter.

Five highly skilled seekers against that rare inventive and equally highly skilled hider = impeccable.
Yourself and one moron against a shock frightened terrible driver = despair
Recognizing this the dev has implemented a penalty for quitting. Rewards/leveling are built upon a streak of games you complete. Except that one nearly impossible target.

Hide and seek and Manhunt are nearly a reverse of each other. Manhunt is everyone against a running target while Hide and Seek is one person trying to find numerous others sitting still.

Bit that annoys is the entire rest of the game is similar to Manhunt. This should've been Hide and Seek as claimed with ability to follow seeker in drone mode and quit at any point in either role.

My daughter and I are playing Cat Quest 3. It is very cute, kid-appropriate, and a lot of fun. Local co-op, so just plug up and extra controller and we're off. If you are looking for a good game for you and the kids to play, I highly recommend it.

I've been playing the new Test drive unlimited solar crown, so far the experience has been semi-smooth(despite a lot of initial issues).
The graphics are decent and again it runs well if you use DLSS, the sound design is great and the environment is cool too.
My only complaint is RWD cars just feel like they are on ice constantly no matter what setup I use for the car and the AI needs patching too which they are looking to do for their next patch.
Getting money in the game is rubbish as well.

It runs butter smooth although I haven't build glass buildings yet.

I remember from the early access that glass (buildings) would hog the system (back when I still used the 8700k).

Just hit level 300 in Fallout 76 so have finally unlocked that last legendary perk slot. Probably going to drop it until they add more quests, as I've finished all the ones currently on offer.

Waiting for The Forever Winter to hit Early Access in a week's time. From what they've showed it looks like a combination of Stalker, Fallout, Escape from Tarkov and Generation Zero and if it manages to be even halfway as good as the trailer suggests, it will be my next addiction.

Also, I know Generation Zero has been mentioned in this thread already, but I just want to give it another shout-out because in my opinion it deserves to be a lot better known than it is. It is an irritatingly buggy and unfinished experience, but it also has some of the best ambience I've ever experienced in a videogame because despite how experienced or well-equipped you are, even the most basic enemies can and will fuck your shit up if you don't take them seriously. Every fight feels like it's a struggle for survival, but it also doesn't feel unfair (well, except when the enemies teleport due to bugs), and that's something few games are able to pull off.

Or to put it another way, in Generation Zero if the shortest distance between two points is an open field, you go around the edges where there are trees. Because God only knows what nasties might be around, and if they spot you in an area lacking cover, you are going to have a very bad time.

For those interested, here's a current playlist, frequently updated, and in proper chronological order;
Love this series!
I was gonna link the StH from Forza...

Same channel has a series called Hunt the Survivors which sounds like where they got the idea for Hide and Seek.

It runs butter smooth although I haven't build glass buildings yet.
i also havent used glass walls yet but i've covered quite a lot around the map and i havent seen even one place where game will stutter despite foliage density or number of terrain elements.
i was expecting UE5 game to be much more taxing on my GPU.
I remember from the early access that glass (buildings) would hog the system (back when I still used the 8700k).
i am also at the beginning of building up the factory and dont have much stuff placed on the map yet, but i am planning one big mega factory. will see what will be performance like when objects numbers on screen stack up :)

Same channel has a series called Hunt the Survivors which sounds like where they got the idea for Hide and Seek.

I erased a post detailing the involvement of someone given access to Forza dev builds for testing etc. Someone who has been organizing convoys to stream private games of Hide and Seek for years. Scripted dialogue was also mined directly from these streams for placement into the new game mode. Very obvious lines can be drawn here.

Beyond that, both Manhunt and Hide and Seek are ages old games predating the wheel.
