Division 5

---
Round 1 - Walking the Streets of a Former Hell
---

I barely squeaked by in this one given that all eliminations were people who didn't submit by the end of the week, and I submitted right before the deadline. Could have done much better, but I think I only tried the song one time and I don't remember it.

---
Round 2 - GLAZ
---

Barely squeaked by here as well, but with much more effort put in. I am horrible at jumpstreams, so this one plays against my weaknesses, especially at the buildup three-quarters into the song

---
Round 3 - The Friendly Wolf (Part 1)
---

This is my own song, which is kind of funny. This one more plays to my strengths. The hardest bits are the rolls, and there's lots of tricky bursts, but with enough attempts I was able to get a rather clean run.

I played out of my mind here and still ended up near the bottom of the qualifiers. That's concerning.

---
Round 4 - Evanescent
---

This song is very fast, and the more simple sections manage to make me struggle. And then there's that insane stream with the hands in it. I have not been able to manage less than a -30 on this section alone, which puts me well into last place for the round so far. Not feeling confident on this one.

Update:
I know I can technically clean FC this song now with my best PA on the buildup being a -15 approx. Unfortunately this means I have to play out of my mind throughout the entire song to get a last-place score. The thing is that I'm still not consistent outside of the very beginning. It's just so fast that it's a struggle constantly.

Update update:
I've played this song way too many times and I can't do the jumpstreams. I really don't understand why people say this song is easier. It's got a massive high-bpm jumpstream wall that is just a pure speedcheck from start to finish.

Update update update:
95 attempts and no pb. Pretty sure next time I see a jumpstream in a song I'm just gonna end the song and move on til I find a song without jumpstreams in it.

So, someone managed to figure out that bug and it has to do with Windows 10 and a legacy setting that needs to be checked for the engine to work. Also they put an old file of mine in the game and I have to play it for round 3 in the tournament.

If you've noticed I've quit the game, it's actually because the game decided to simply stop working and no logical (or as close to logical as you can get in this scenario) processes have had any effect on the matter. I am completely unable to play FFR on my computer.

So for the past six months I haven't been able to get FFR working and the professionals haven't been able to help me with my issue and the extent of it is "just download from the website," or "this is an isolated bug." I've wiped FFR and reinstalled it dozens of times with each version.

I've tried running it in compatibility mode, running it as an administrator, and I tried downloading the last version of Adobe Air separately and adding all the programs to the exceptions for Windows Firewall, and on top of that I've tried running all versions of the game with both firewall and antivirus disabled. The game is completely fucked and will never run again, and at this point no one can convince me otherwise. Until someone makes a half-ways decent rhythm game on the PC, you can consider me officially retired.

Fuck this broken-ass game. I don't need to spend thousands of hours not playing a game on a defunct piece of software when there are several worthwhile games out there, and quadrillions of more productive things I can be doing with my time. If FFR wasn't dead before, it most certainly is now. People won't be bringing this issue up to staff or the forums. They will simply give up much more readily than I have, and the few remaining will keep playing their broken game in their tiny little bubble until the heat death of the universe.

I'd like to play the fucking game if it actually started fucking working, but at this point I'm fucking done trying. Jae will let me know if there's ever a Steam version released.

I might try charting stuff for the 20 people who can still run this game since that is all I can do at this point, but it's clear to me that there is no way to get this program working on my computer, or probably any computer that's been made in the past 10 years for that matter. You'd probably have to be running Windows XP at this point to get it to work.

Yes, I'm serious. I have a lung infection and the doctors say I only have 27 years to live. Goodbye, cruel world.
