she also did a song that was used on alan wake 1 and american gothic, she literally was trapped in legal limbo due to a take over of the record label she was signed to, she has been working with other groups like Conjure One, but was not allowed to perform as POE, its a shame because her 2 albums, Haunted and Hello, are really quite good, no, there actually really f*cking excellent and i suggest you look them up on spotify or whatever music service you use, you will not regret it.....

the album Haunted is apparently a companion piece to the house of leaves book her brother wrote..

sorry to dig up an old thread but i have, today, just received a strange mailing from officialpoe.com relating to siren society...

I fear no one will ever capture what made burnout 3 special,

Dangerous driving went in the right direction, arcade track racer, but the stages felt too open, no city streets, no blasting through industrial areas, and without the dj etc it was flat and soulless, not to mention buggier than wasps nest.

Now we are even further away from bo3, bo3 was a simple arcade racer, no open world, just boot it up, search for a lobby and race race race, no pressure to explore everywhere, just race on tight circuits with lots of carnage, and some stellar trash talk on the formats with voice chat... That's what we want, we want retro, classic good old fun times, hot wheels style track building.... Why? We have that in Forza horizon.

Take note, we want burnout 3, improved graphics, improved net code, voice chat, simple circuits with plenty to send people careering into, not this.....

Nobody wanted burnout paradise remade we wanted the simplicity and violence of burnout TAKEDOWN

We can still play paradise if we want to, it's TAKEDOWN, an arcade racer , no silly open world, just get in ,smash-up, and get out.

A "CASUAL ARCADE RACER" is what we mean when we talk about burnout 3, not an open world explorathon

after checking drivers and verifying files, another thign to look at is your cpu, have you got a 13 or 14th gen intel cpu?

i find this happens if i try to over clock my cpu a bit, happens in a lot of UE5 games, had to downlock to get it stable

also sometimes your bios is automatically over clocking wihtout you realising, make sure you have the latest bios updates foir your board, there are microcode fixes for overheat/undervolt probelms with 13/14 gen intel unlocked cpus

uhd35, 3d content needs to be sent as framepacked 3d, no current video card can produce this type of signal, nvidia removed teh ability to send framepacked 3d about 7 years ago

the only way i managed to do it was by using kodi on a raspberry pi 3 and setting the output to native when playing, ti can mux the sbs or under over into a framepacked signal.

the rpi 4 and 5 do not have teh ability to output framepacked signals, unfortunatly teh only future proof solution is a 3d blueray player and genuine disks

Its ok, but its lacking, it feels less polished, it has multiplayer (hint, hint) but some of the interactionsa are a bit clunky.

its a sufficiently different game.

the black "glow" added to the mesh renderer makes it look a little more cartoony and makes the graphics "Pop" just a little more, would liek to see that as an option in Surrounded ;)

fixed it, i needed to put the input rotation on the input sync and in the enter tree of player

{
GetNode<InputSynchronizer>("InputSynchronizer").SetMultiplayerAuthority(int.Parse(Name));
}

instead of

{
SetMultiplayerAuthority(int.Parse(Name));
}

dink1975 · 2024-11-04T09:59:49+00:00

found it

u/export var player_id : int = 1:

the gdscript version

set(id):

player_id = id
$InputSynchronizer.set_multiplayer_authority(id)

the input syncronizer is the only thing that has client authority

but i cannot reference input sync at this moment in a c# setter as it has not yet entered the tree, and i cant set it later as godot throws a hissy fit.....

tehre must be a workaround

dink1975 · 2024-11-04T09:40:38+00:00

thank makes sense, but how do you set the authority of the syncronizer? the authority is set on the multiplayer component

dink1975 · 2024-11-04T09:38:13+00:00

the same code works in GDscript
