  1. It's a 5 minute fix. This new world order stuff is shit.
  2. When you click the download button it goes to downloads? Ever since the website came online again, I just get a hyperspin download.....perhaps a cache issue... then *update* .... No i just tried in another browser...definitely not correct....the download button should go to the downloads section...not download a file.
  3. Since the red coats took HS, I've gone full troll now
  4. Just checked my Hyperspin, It's working now also, I've been in process of switching to launchbox, but a lot of bureaucracy is still there (the shit i was trying to get away from). However, with a bit of tweaking and some willingness to do without a few features on my part, I think I could come out a little better by the time I have everything set up. Here is where I'm at so far with setting up Launchbox (note, Lb crashed on me in the first few minutes, but was fine afterwards) I'm in process of creating Rlauncher style loading screens and as far as the pause menu goes, I think the content deliver is a bit more efficient so most pause menus are actually not even required.
  5. This 8 way mexican standoff between the platforms is ridiculous. In its current state HS2 functions better as a media manager than a full platform. I tried it again last night and ran into a lot of clunkyness, artwork not showing up...things just generally don't make sense to me and i run into broken things almost constantly, no way to shut those stupid badges off etc. Launchbox is much further along, but I run into issues when I start connecting it to rlauncher because the rlauncher plugin doesn't parse subfolders for artwork for the fadescreen, and from what I understand Agent47 is less than willing to help with that. HS 1.5 is becoming outdated with no way to reverse engineer it for updates. Somethings got to start giving.
  6. Looking more into launchbox, I've had it mildly set up on the backburner for a while. I would rather go with an original idea that's established than a thieved mixture of several ideas. Until HS (classic can be reverse engineered and updated in a proper way this is just going to keep coming up again and again. I hope an update fixes this, but I won't hold my breath on it.....it's a damn shame, I've worked on this platform for the better part of 14+ years. Times are a changin, that's for sure.
  7. In my case that's quite an undertaking. It would be less effort to wait it out for a fix from windows or have the program updated if possible. I uninstalled 'KB5055627', still broken. I'll wait for the next round of windows updates and see if it gets sorted, if not...then it looks like I've got quite a bit of work to do.
  8. I have, still nothing. I have 2 hyperspins on my machine, both are not working. I'll note that I have Windows 11 Pro on my machine. I have found that when HS launches, some files are distributed to 'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\Temp' then immediately removed.... this 'feels' as if the program is just flat out being blocked from launching rather than an app crash, but i could be way off in guessing that. I do see 'KB5055627' installed on my machine I do not see these updates installed... KB5053598 KB5053656 KB5055523
  9. Tried this, no joy. Also according to a microsoft forum it seems that after 10 days of 24h2 being installed that rolling back to 23h4 is no longer an option and the only options are to reset the pc or to wait for a fix from MS...some spanish speaking folks on reddit claim that an update has fixed their systems already with a new security KB that has come out, that i assume is regionally distributed. Useless info, but I'll throw out that I happen to know that during mid 2023 Microsoft did a massive budget cut and operations restructuring.... I imagine because of trickle down economics that QA went out the window in the interest of time. Unless someone happens to find a fool proof fix for this, i guess i'll just have to wait for additional updates from MS for this to sort itself out. It does look like @jhabers has been updating this most recently and perhaps could provide some insight on how to reverse engineer the classic version of hyperspin to ensure continued support, or at least provide some documentation on how to support it so that someone else can take over. If hyperspin 2 is taking precedent, then Hyperspin classic should be de-licensed as "Open Source".
  10. I only have 3 updates available to remove and none of them are the KB's mentioned in this thread... I've tried removing them but then never seem to actually remove....starting to think my OS is f*cked. Trying to avoid totally wiping my PC and starting over because I'm pretty deep into configurations and such and unfortunately don't have a recent backup...not that it would help anyway if my OS is fucked.
  11. Posting a comment here, I'm having this issue just recently after some updates applied. I have tried searching for 5055523 to remove as previous suggestions have recommended doing so. I don't see that update installed at all, but still my Hyperspin, I can see it launch in task manager and close immediately. I've tried removing other updates, but nothing has worked thus far.
  12. Not sure where everyone is from but there is ALOT of political and economic turmoil in the US right now that could be driving it. That said. I've still been casually lurking on the forums with nothing much to say and seeing how this plays out for improvements. I still stand by my original ranty opinion that this new update has gone in a bizzare direction. There are some good things about the new update in terms of flash and flare, but from a functionality perspective...in my own opinion, it's unusable...and I am in WAAAY deep in the original HS setup to just dump it and start over...even if the setup wizard is allegedly easier. If the HS asset manager thingy aims to replace Rlauncher, it has a ways to go. I am not a fan of the Theme uploader system...I understand what it is trying to do in terms of reducing administrative overhead, but it's a bunch of extraness that i could really do without. I really just wanted smoother animation in HS and higher quality themes and to be able to somehow integrate it as a new/different frontend to my existing setup; which means connecting with Rlauncher. That's all. I feel terrible saying these things because i know it's an absurd amount of work to just poo poo...but then again, so was all the previously created themes by many artists over the years that to my understanding is now just obsolete, but It's really more overly complicated than i actually wanted and my current setup works fine for now.
