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??

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?

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By Sekyal · Posted

      While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
