    I jinxed it, BeamNG just got stuck at "Spawning Player". Alt-U got rid of it, but then there's no UI.

    Hey DM, is your computer updated with all the drivers and Windows Updates? Hvae you tried restarting the computer, and cleaning it out from dust?
    If that doesnt work, sometimes performance issues and program crashes can show signs of a hard drive going bad. I had a friend who had a nice pc, and after a while the pc was really slow, and programs crashed, and eventually Windows wouldn't even boot properly because of a bad hard drive.

    I find its easier to blame Windows 10 and call it a day.

    My laptop has now developed an issue where it will open music in the "Groove" music player by default rather than my media player software. Yet I have the windows default in the settings app set to open my media player software. It also does not display an "Open with" option either. So I can't click on a WAV file to play it currently, which is fun. I shall pray to the M$ gods and hope that it starts to work at some point in the future, since that seems to be the general Win10 day to day operations guide :p

    KSP 1.3 crashes on me once every 20 minutes, but that's the only issue I have other than the computer freezing and requiring me to restart it, but that rarely happens.

    Midtown Madness 1.0 : Crashes and logs a stack trace to the log file
    Mditown Madness 1 XP Patch : Crashes with "Midtown Madness Executable has stopped working"

    Hmmmm... I wonder why the XP patch doesn't log a stack trace.

    A lot of arcade racing games don't support them. The main reason is because they tend to feel awful with a steering wheel. There are some exceptions though.

    PCars 2, Assetto Corsa, Automoblista, rFactor 2, iRacing (if you're a doctor), etc. Though, these are all sim racers, so you might want to go for something like, uhh... I don't want to suggest Need For Speed, because of NFS:2015... Sooo...

    "Test Drive Unlimited 2". You need to get your hands a little dirty in order to play it by installing a new custom launcher and kludging your way through Atari's totally broken login servers, however the game servers are still online and reachable the majority of the time. Plus you can play the game offline and it still works just as well.
    There is a pretty good steam guide that will lead you through the installation process.

    Honestly for all its horrific voice acting, and character animations (and levels of sexism that were borderline upon release, never mind by today's standards) that game has many things going for it. A diamond in the rough if you will.

    There is also "Burnout paradise" too if you haven't played that before. Its an exceptional game.

    "Midnight club 3 dub edition" ran through a PS2 emulator is quite a bit of fun (however mostly nostalgia me thinks)

    "1nsane " is a fantastic off road free roaming game, runs on pretty much anything too.

    As of right now I have a real craving for some "Project Gotham racing". To the point where spending £49.99 on an original Xbox seems attractive, especially if it comes with MidTown Madness 3.

    This puzzle was well worth the 1 dollar I spent on it.
    Who knew you could get Decent stuff at the Dollar store.

    I'm putting up a losing fight against a finely tuned American bureaucratic system.
    Trying to make an appointment to look at a Crown vic being auctioned by a small, rural sheriffs office. I emailed the contact guy last week and he hasn't responded. The phone number listed for him is apparently the office's main phone number, so I have to navigate through their dumb automated thing and he's nowhere to be found in there. Both of the people I have tried so far didn't pick up.
    Stunningly good at avoiding doing work, these people are. True professionals.

    Edit: I found my guy but I'm 3/3 for not picking up.

    I fear we may be waiting a while. Hopefully someone at Microsoft realises there are people with money who are willing to pay for nostalgia (providing it is well made) :p

    Ok, so I have never used Juno Download before, until I found an album I liked on YouTube and found they sold it cheapest. Now that I have started to explore some of their catalogue I feel they might be bankrupting me soon. There is so much incredible music out there (which is also available on other platforms too, I should add).
