Hyakuto Kyoko Gives Up on Five Nights at Freddy’s After Repeated Game Crashes

HOLOLIVE — Hyakuto Kyoko, a Hololive talent, abandoned her second attempt at the first Five Nights at Freddy’s on Tuesday after the game crashed twice during an English-language stream. She said she would move on to the sequel and pretend she had finished the original.

She opened the stream by explaining that the game had kept crashing three days earlier and that viewers had offered fixes. One of them, running the game in Windows 7 compatibility mode, kept it from launching at all, and she said that worried her. Early in the stream she also hit New Game by mistake and had to restart.

“Guys, this game is refusing me. They don’t like me.” — Hyakuto Kyoko, after the second crash

Between scares she talked pizza with chat, comparing unusual toppings such as corn and mayonnaise, which she said Japanese diners are fond of. She had a rough time with the bunny and chicken animatronics but said she was playing better than before. The game crashed for the first time about 30 minutes in, then again near the end of the fourth night, when she believed she was close to surviving. A try with Windows 8 compatibility mode did not launch the game either.

After a third failure she said she would buy Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 and promised to come back to the first game if the crashes could be fixed. Chat told her the series has 11 games and that the phone calls carry important story, and she said she would listen to them next time.

With time left, she switched to reading Super Chats, something she said she had never done before. The reading ran about an hour and was prompted by congratulations on the channel’s monetization, which she said had opened the day before. The stream drew 123 paid messages. She told viewers she would work the next day and planned to return on Thursday to play Cuphead.
