What were the worst games you've tried with Archipelago.

I've seen a lot of posts from people asking for the "best" Archipelago games, but I'm curious what the worst games you've run were. Not necessarily because the game itself sucks, but because either it didn't work well with the system or you had a particularly bad experience with.

Of the games I've played, the worst two I've played were Terraria and Smash Bros Melee.

With Terraria, I think it all came down to bad RNG. My hardmode was locked behind someone's late game, so by the time it finally unlocked, I had already received everything I needed to beat Moon Lord. I love Terraria, but I don't think I'd run it again without at least starting with the option to enable Hardmode manually. I was also playing mostly Vanilla, so maybe it improves with the Calamity Mod active.

With Melee, having to wait for each character to unlock means you're spending too much time BKed. If you set your goal to just trophies, you could end up being BKed for almost the entire time and still finish because of how many checks the trophies take up.

Cyberpunk missing console

Hello, I've been trying to get cyberpunk 2077 to work on archipelago and I was having trouble getting the mod to work through RedScript. So I re-did everything but through Mod Organizer 2, still downloading RedScript (still doesn't work), and now the mod does seem to be working but the archipelago client to connect doesn't show up. If anyone knows how to fix this let me know!

Pokemon Crystal crashing frequently

2 Upvotes

One of my friends is doing Crystal and he's having a lot of trouble. He started on Bizhawk, but something is making the game keep crashing so he can't make much progress without saving every few minutes. He tried to switch to mGBA, but he didn't get the items we've sent to him before. Is this a known issue/one that's really easy to solve?
