So, I was wondering about the HitSquadGodFather. Do you have to be a subscriber to win one of these giveaways? 🤨
Most names are in a format that seem to support this idea.
Has anyone won one of the HSGF giveaways? 🥳 If so, do you subscribe to his channel? 🧐
these giveaways for shitty showelware aint worth it. join his montly and weekly game heist where he gives 1250 hb choice game keys (first come first serve) for 250 channel points instead

This gave me some overly ridiculous DMC flashbacks, might have picked stupid upgrades over the fact :LOL:

In DMC Devil May Cry this move was pretty much

Ground pound with a first weapon...seems too have to small of a range to have the same usefulness as the version from DMC, sadly.

I played Influent recently, but I ran into a game breaking bug. The game has autosaves, you cannot manually save wherever you want. I think it saves every 30 minutes, so I played it like that and collected like 150 Korean words (3 word lists) IIRC. I would just close out the game when the timer reached a good number and I made good progress. Anyways, I went to load up the game (I think it recently updated too) and now they put ads for other products into the game, but the ads are game breaking. I can't close the ad, there's no little X to close it and it doesn't close itself. The game is basically "behind" the advertisement, the ad itself is an overlay on top of the game.

Here's some screenshots, at the bottom is the progress bar, it goes all the way across (fully loaded) then I hear the music to the game, if I press CTRL I can actually hear the game's "click" sound that you would hear when playing it and hitting that button. So what you see here is that I loaded up my savegame 3 seperate times, totally broken. :(

I pressed every button on the Keyboard/Mouse, none of that works. I tried verifying the files, uninstall/reinstall, the savegame is kept in the Windows Registry so it was found easily after the reinstall (it was still broken). I can start the game up in another Language using another savegame slot or just start Korean all over again, I'm willing to do it, but I'm afraid I'll run into the same problem again and I'll have to try savescumming my way through the game (backing up the savegame from the registry and restoring it every time it breaks).

This is what happens when I drag another window on top of the Game Window that's showing an advertisement, I can see the game behind the advertisement, but the second I click on the Game Window, the advertisement comes back immediately.

The game has no controller support, so I was working on a (nearly completed) Gamepad Profile using software I bought on Steam called Controller Companion. I spent a bunch of time just working on the Gamepad Profile, I'd like to test it in another Language anyways just to see if everything works the same in all Languages. I'm just curious if I should restart the entire game in Korean, or jump into Spanish or Japanese, any thoughts on any of this?

I assume you tried to Ctrl+F4 or Alt+F4 the Window? Windows task manager?

If I invested alot of time into it I might have tried to create a program myself to find the Window (using FindWindowEx API) and close it, you may be able to find a Window Spy or some similar program that could accomplish the same task...

I may even have one lying around if you'd be willing to trust a exe file from me that would do the trick, I'd obviously suggest trying the methods above first, but if your interested I know I made some programs to do things of this sort back in my Visual Basic days that could find any Window on the screen.

Adding a little option to close or more likely Hide the window shouldn't take more than a minute or two....whether it would return functionality as if the Window has been removed properly is another story entirely. Have you tried clicking the AD? It may require you to visit the site before closing as well.

EDIT:

I'd also look where you found the save games for some sort of AD timer or new registry key, maybe something like AdClickVisible or siteVisited

Spy++ (Microsoft download) may enable you to find if its part of a different process and terminate it, I doubt it will do what you need but its the same basic concept as the ones I've made...except missing the custom functionality of hiding or closing windows. If its a separate thread or process id it may just allow you to kill it using taskkill in DOS.
