The REAL game starts... (Puzzle Box 1)


Recommended Posts

Sorry for the extra posting, but it seems Neowin forums doesn't want me to edit my own posts.

This is an update on the OTHER problem posted earlier. It only happens with Cuckoos, Pocket Watches, and Starfield (for me, at least).

I had already solved the easy puzzles, so I don't know if/how many of them are affected. I hope it's just a glitch.

BTW, my Austin countdown is still running: 18 hrs, 45 minutes, though I wish I could go but can't (no money for gas :cry: ) . The real shame is that I'm currently in DFW. Sooo close....--oh, well. I've asked a friend who lives down there to go for me.

If anybody has any ideas about the OTHER problems, my email is open: it1..SPLAT..cwazy.co.uk

Thanks!

Where are you seeing that events are canceled? The locations and countdowns still show up on the main Vanishing Point Game website in the Box 2 section...are you seeing something about cancellations on another website?

I agree with Moroz that Loki/Lorelei/Loreley wouldn't have to be wherever the events are if they are prerecorded like in Las Vegas. In that sense, she could everywhere and not even be physically at any of those locations.

That having been said, Azimuth would seem correct as far as the 5th (and true) location being the vanishing point and only location...IF, IF the other four are canceled.

If they do cancel the other four, I think that you'll have a boatload of enthusiast playing this game become eight shades of P'ssed Off, especially if they bought airline tickets and hotel accommodations.

Again, where are you seeing locations canceled?

Do you think that the white squares being clicked have something to do with the countdowns? Cause my austin location appeared cancelled after I went and found all the white meta squares that we know of.

Edit: Also, wasn't the old AMD building in Austin?

Editing yet another edit: ALSO, whats the point of five locations? WHY would they show five videos in five places at seemingly different times? If they are all the same video then whats the point, and if they aren't the same video that seems like alot of wasted time and effort to put in to a puzzle scheme considering by the time the first one ends the website will probably already HAVE the video uploaded.

Hello all... first post. Found the site after discovering the 9 white squares and searching for an answer. Anyway, thought I'd chime in on the cancellation... I imagine Austin is getting cancelled because I believe there is a major ice storm headed that way.

Also, while I'm posting, I should point out that there is a typo on the first page summary where it says:

Implying Loki's real name is Lorelei Kitsume & that's basically where we're at

that should be Kitsune, not Kitsume. Also may want to point out that Lorelei can also be spelled as Loreley

... also just noticed same typo in the summary here:

It also reveals Loki's name is "L. Kitsume"

Guys i swear i like the newcomers but this is getting out of hand. Maybe next next we could find out who made the clothes she's wearing or what color makeup she put on. Seriously the only one that looks like possibly anything is the stamps, but that was pregame stuff. if you haven't noticed everything else that was pregame is gone. You need to focus on what we're doing now and what we're going to do and be patient like most of us instead of writing down every thought that comes into your head. I can tell most of have read the previous pages but theres some that just stick out like a sore thumb. Go Back And Read The Pages. I agree with +Rich and that newcomers are welcome and yes we could use they're help but don'tgo and put crappy posts on here. I'm thinking about creating another forum or something and inviting all the guys that have helped out so far if anyone has any comments please tell me because i can already tell that come tommorrow when they unlock the next box we're going to get 20 posts a second on here and most of them won't be anything. I'm srry if you take this the wrong way but think before you post.

Well the only reason all of this is coming up is because all the puzzles but the meta one are solved. So people are trying to grab on to something and figure out if they can see anything else. I can see you agitation but really (me personally) an i think other people too cant wait to get the next puzzles so they do the next best thing: speculate about the only one that hasn't been solved. Its only natural i think

A lot of the images, spoted by the uses, look like the Windings2 images. Maybe i'm nuts...

Someone should probably take the time to "translate" those to real letters and see if that brings up anything. (Notice the interobang, and some time symbols, the same type of the "devil hooks as characters as the cooko-clocks

Windings.

GDESINR - U are right. There is a major ice storm heading for Austin. I live in Houston and was going to attend the Austin event but the ice storm is going to be in Austin and almost to Houston by then so I can't go. Dangit!!!! Anyway, I tend to agree with Boazer, there will probably be only one site. Like Loki said, "Things in my world disappear".... Maybe Austin was the first to dissappear?

Perhaps Austin was cancelled due to weather......(I'm in Texas, not too far from there, and we have Ice Storm warnings......just a thought)

Man I am glad I live in SOUTH Texas. Though we have rain this up coming week, it doesn't look any worse than the 60's. After you live down here long enough you actually forget that the rest of the country/world get's cold.

anyway I guess that saved me 11 hours of my life drive time just to watch a video :p

Amen to that THEQUESTOR, I can't stand the cold. Hope the ice doesn't make it as far as Houston. Do you think it is the ice that cancelled Austin? At first I thought it was going to be in one site since Loki said things in her world disappear and I thought maybe sites would disappear but now I have thought it through and it has to be the ice storm. Could you imagine people from all over the world showing up to a cancelled event? Not gonna happen. Too much bad PR.

Nasty stuff for sure.

And I just wanted to wish anyone in the storms path good luck and keep warm and safe.

my thought is that there will only be one real event. this would account for the different times for the countdowns- people dont know what time or place it will be- and what better event to cancel than one that already looks like its going to be nasty weather. on the other hand, it could be just an ice storm...

    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
