Vanishing Point aka Vanishingpoint

I guess its all over except for the prizes, well done to everyone and a big thanks to all who contributed to the fun and answers of the puzzles over the past four weeks.

A big thanks to Neowin for adminitering this forum and everyone who updated the posts as we went.

Hope someone from here wins the Meta Puzzle and remembers Neowin when naming a name !

And lastly abig thanks must to go to those from UNFiction and those on irc (unfiction's) for help, clues, answers and working with 'Team Neowin' throughout. Co-oprative teamwork got those puzzles done so fast at times, I'm sure we all impressed 42 and MS.

Of course thanks must go to Microsoft, AMD and 42 Entertainment for creating this game in the first place - Well Done.

Anyway too many pages bellow but keep up on the Meta Puzzle stuff from around 80 on wards and fingers crossed.

>> New York Launch Show had Seatle VPG Fireworks in high Res if anyone wants to catch a few more clues from it !

Box Four -- Close to vanishing !

:rolleyes: am I sure or :no: Oh well it will all be over soon enough unfortunately, its been a real fun chalange as I am sure you will all agree.

For those lucky enough to be able to go tonight - enjoy it, its well deserved, but please remember us all who can not be there and please try to get some feedback / clues onto the boards or into the irc asap - else we might struggle.

Tonight should bring a further 12 boxes, but only one event - how many clues will depend on event who knows !

Lets place anything in this thread and - hey good luck to all

Team Neowin - for the meta prize !!

Just a tip if your having trouble with the site - I did past few days, seems to me it may have been getting hit by some idiots trying to break it or just too popular.

Well clear your internet cache (check option in browser)

Try to use upto date Flash player (www.adobe.com)

Best to use Internet Explorer 6 or 7 ( for this site this is true -- realy)

Firefox 2 is OK but you could have issue with screen size (1024x768, clean FF, not all visiable !)

Opera Kinda Works sometimes.

Let it load up - be patient, take your time, visit each puzzle then go to begining and start to work, this will allow your system to cache many graphics thus making things a little more fluid when playing.

Good luck to everyone tonight.

I'm fairly new to all this, so bare with me if I'm asking something that has already been answered. But while waiting for the 4th box to open, I've been looking at the older puzzles. Did anyone else notice that the 2nd box is the only box with a phrase above the countdown times that says "Keep your eyes on these countdowns for changes". Am I reading to much into this or could this actually be something?

Yea... Weve noticed that early... It was because the texas even was considered for cancellation because of weather, And then it was, read back on the "Meta Puzzle" Thread for answers to that.

On a side note I am back and ready to go, am I the only pitiful one sitting there watching the countdown guys??

lol Im upset its going to end :(

good luck guys lets get it done

Don't worry about that.. that was due to the fact that some events had there locations/time changed on that particular day..:-)

Say goodbye to Loki :( . in 1 hr and 10 min, she will disappear :( . Good luck to everyone and let's hope that someone at neowin gets the meta puzzle! Pity i can't be there! Can someone upload the photo of the gasworks plant so we can stare at it and imagine what it will be like? That would be good. Why can't anything happen in Australia??!!! Is there a webcam we can look at live?

      Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • DuRoBo Krono Review: Portable E-Ink reader with great ideas that need a bit of improvement

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8

      Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
