Installing Space Marine 2 has ruined my PC

[Singularity]

So as a lot of people experienced, I too had multiple issues and ran into a lot of bugs installing Space Marine 2 and getting it running.

I finally did, but that unfortunately hasn't been the end of the misery for me. The first time I shutdown and booted my PC after succesfully setting the game up, I'm greeted by a blue screen requesting I run system diagnostics (which I do) before being able to login. The process takes around 40 minutes to 1 hour to be able to boot my computer now.

Once I'm onto my computer and logged in etc., doing whatever I want to do on steam, things don't get any better. I can just about "play" any game for around 5 minutes maximum before it crashes and quits for one error or another.

I'm not sure what the fix is here apart from completely rebuilding my PC but thought I'd share just in case anyone else is dealing with similar issues.

if this game killed your PC it might be a sign of a previous issue, the game is quite taxing, it may have broke something that was already dying.

What are your specs?

[ZEONesp]

People really needs to get a job or do something. Your pc was trash or the maintenance. I have the same specs than people who complain using capital letters and honestly, I run it 2k perfectly, super smooth.

The game does cause crashes, including on PS5 and Xbox. But nothing to the level that it is corrupting a OS and preventing a restart. What you have going on is just coincidental to the issues the game causes. The games problems more likely than not just exacerbated them enough to get worse.

Could be this, some sort of hardware defect that was brought to light because this game is pretty GPU and CPU heavy. Utilization and temps can ramp up and stay pretty high. Almost like a stress test of sorts.

If you think it's a purely software issue created by Space Marine 2 (which is doubtful), you could try using Revo Uninstaller to remove all traces of it. Maybe reinstall your graphics card driver also.

It's hardware issue for sure. It's too widespread for it to be anything else, i suppose it could be corrupted windows but i've not encountered any to that magnitude, if i had to guess i would say it's some kind of storage issue, faulty SSD/HDD with corrupted sectors would make sense.

There could be a high chance that the OP has a 13/14 gen Intel cpu. Space Marine 2 might of just been the final nail in the coffin for it especially if they didn't install the latest bios for their motherboard.

I almost built a new rig when the 14th gen came out. I'm super glad I held out after hearing everything that's going on with them. I'll milk this 10900k for another year or so if I have to. I feel bad for all of the people having problems.

I don't think that's it - CPU instability causes instant shutdowns but he says it takes forever for him to login windows 40min - that's crazy and not really consistent with those 13/14gen issues.

Sounds like a you issue. Most likely your PC was already broken. Just installing this pushed it over the edge. Not a game issue. But a your pc issue.

Get rid of the hard drive get an SSD download Intel Extreme Tuning downclock by lowering the ratio. Done.

this game turns my high end 1 year old PC into a space heater for my office.

Did you upgrade your Flux capacitor?

The 9800x3d should be coming out around the start of next year. I would give it a few months to cook tho. You don't want to be one of the people who found out their mb was pulling too much power and melt your cpu (or other issues). Its always risky to be an early adopter.

For those who don't know.
