[quote=valley172]See you all in Vanguard![/quote]
Oof. Oof to everyone playing Vanguard. You might be waiting a while for me so don't wait up... but, I wish you all luck.
That's all great news though and what I expected. You don't need to apologize though imo. I was pointing out earlier that run just as an example I meant nothing by it to the person who submitted it or verified it. I just was confused. Sorry if it sounded hostile that's my bad. I had to go through it in my head five times to make sure that I wasn't just being an idiot before I commented that. Wasn't meant for it to be malicious I appreciate all the mods here and mistakes happen on both sides. At the end of the day I don't really care enough about anything to get upset about it pretty much okay with whatever so long as it makes sense and stuff.
The event was just annoying having to put everything on hold. At least the giant pumpkin heads make it easy to spot the runs... so, it's pretty easily enforceable from your guys' side.
Is it safe to say that runs are no longer on hold? Sorry just want clarification because I don't see a post that they're no longer on hold. Want to make sure before I attempt anything. I have Discord and use it but I'm not super sociable so I apologize for asking for clarification here. If there's anything you guys need help with though I have a decent amount of free time and am happy to help out with whatever. Also happy to not help so no worries either way.
tl;dr: oof vanguard. <insert press f meme>. are runs still on hold or nah?
super tl;dr: runs on hold?
Nice :)
Congrats!
The formatting on this site is just absolutely abysmal. Markdown isn't that difficult to support so I'm not sure why this site can't implement it properly but I don't feel like try to guess SRC formatting. I just created a gist so it's easier to read.
I'm going through everything working on documenting stuff for a (much) larger post about the way the game is currently setup for speedrunning, but I wanted to share this while I'm working on that.
I didn't see this mentioned in any of the guides here, but as part of my aforementioned (much) larger post I just re-installed the game using the instructions in the guide(s) here.
The main problem with getting RE5 to run is that the G4WL installer that's included with the game (redist/gfwlivesetup.exe) will not work. When you launch the game, the BH5AE_install.vdf (source | depot) file will try and run the default gfwlivesetup.exe installer. This will fail since it's an online version of the installer and you'll get this error message:
If you look at the log files the setup created, you'll see this line:
(12:46:43) Download http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=201788 failed [Code:0x800c0008]
This is because the file that gfwlivesetup.exe installer is trying to download is no longer available from Microsoft.
To get around this, you'll need an offline version of the installer, which you can download from PCGamingWiki here:
Microsoft Games for Windows - LIVE 3.5.95.0
This package contains the following official downloads packaged together for convenience:
gfwlivesetup.exe gfwlclient.msi xliveredist.msi (renamed from XLiveUpdate.msi to xliveredist.msi to enable detection by gfwlivesetup.exe) wllogin_32.msi and wllogin_64.msi (this installation step is skipped automatically on Windows 8 and later)
Also, I'm not sure why there's two guides that just reference each other, but they could easily just be consolidated.
- Why your game doesnt say 1.1.0 in the bottom right hand corner of the title screen
- How to update the game so it says 1.1.0 in the bottom right of the title screen
This guide also mentions you could replace one of the dll files the game uses, but that's not recommended as you're not actually resolving the dependency.
What to do if your game isnt opening after a fresh install
Obviously there's a million ways to fix any problem, but personally I don't think that telling people to download and replace the game's files with ones from someone's Google Drive is the solution. This is just one part of a much bigger problem I have with the way things are setup for RE5 speedrunning.
Can't wait for the event to be over. Hopefully we can get everything resolved when it ends. Happy Halloween everyone!
