Friday the 13th: The Game - PC gameplay

Friday the 13th: The Game on PC in 2024? Is there any playerbase left? Are there only hacked lobbies?

I decided to try F13 on PC for the first time ever. Some may argue that this was a crazy idea, but I wanted to experience the notorious hacked lobbies myself. After all, I had finally bought the game on Steam, because it was about to be delisted.

 

The first thing that happened to me was that I spawned to a match which had just 17 seconds left. Easy first achievement for first multiplayer match.

So yes, there are hacked lobbies. The server name suggested some East European involvement. As did some players in the lobby. I don't know if there even are normal lobbies anymore. You could try hosting your own lobby, but from what I hear nobody might join.

Two Jasons or more in a same match? Yes. A funny thing happened to me when I was grabbed by two Jasons at the same time.

 

Countless counselors in a same match? Yes. If you die you can leave the match, start searching for a new lobby and end up to the same match again. Like "hi Jason, I'm back, kill me again!"

Too many strange things going on in hacked lobbies for this simple soul to understand...

Lots of experience and x13 experience bonus. Not that it is needed anymore, with the last update to the game which gave everyone level 150 and the best perks.

Lots of loot. How many pocket knives are there in one match in hacked lobbies? I know on normal matches the answer is 3: 2 in cabins, 1 on a campsite or elsewhere outside, plus of course Tommy's knife.

And how many car keys in the same match? How many Tommy houses? I saw at least three.

At least on one occasion there was no Jason's music when he was right next to me, grabbing me and so on? No, the reason is not stalk. Jason not in rage near the end of the 20 minutes? Car is shown as if it has left when it's ready? What a missed opportunity.

 

 

Here's the full stream of my Friday the 13th the game pc gameplay. I played like shit, but the hacked lobbies were shit aswell. I also had problems with the controls, and sensitivity.

Ps. My Steam name "ladyripuli" means "lady diarrhea" in Finnish... maybe I should be ashamed?

Friday the 13th: The Game not working?

The last time I was playing my all time favorite game, Friday the 13th, everything wasn't working as intended. This happened on Playstation 4.

I kept sending party invites, but despite of getting the invites my boyfriend wasn't able to join the party. The connection simply never happened. This of course isn't the first time this party problem happens with F13.

So my boyfriend's account couldn't connect to the party, and he couldn't even join any lobbies, because the quick play search was constanly in the state of "search cooldown". All he could do was to become the host himself. This kept happening despite of closing the game and even the console many times.

 

And what was even more worrisome, on my boyfriend's PSN account at one point the level went back to 0, and most of the counselors weren't available to play as. This was eerily reminiscent of the times when the hackers could reset any player's level. But the last update was supposed to fix this problem permanently, right?!

And on a third Playstation account the party invites from F13 didn't come through at all.

Some might think that all this could be caused by internet problems, but this was not the case. We were in the same room, with two different Playstations, and my account kept working fine. Except the game crashed twice in a row...

So I can't even trust the game working or the party invites working anymore. All this makes me panic because Friday the 13th: The Game is the love of my life, and I want it to keep working properly until the end of 2024, as promised.

If something was to happen to make the game not work, would they even fix it anymore? I don't think so.
