SCREAMER ON THE FIRST LEVEL! BEWARE!

[76561198132622988]

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SERIOUSLY. Literally was just greeted to this right now: I was just at the very beginning at the part where dexter falls into the wheelbarrow and you go to the character selection screen to customize your character. Then literally a screamer. Game closed itself - nothing else. Not like I'm going to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ open the game again if theres a damn screamer in it. Is this a joke?

I can't believe how many idiots actually fell for this lame trollpost.

I mean seriously it's at best a 2/10 on the troll-o-meter. You guys are pushing it to a 5/10 just from how many idiots he's got to believe it.

Its true I was scared ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Oh it does pass as trolling. And it's very depressing.

It pissed me off too, turns out there's another one right before you enter the Mansion in Majula. Good job From, this is why I bought the game; so you could throw cheap ♥♥♥♥ like this at me.

Well it woulds be a start if I even knew what they mean by 'Screamer'. It sounded like something in the gameplay at first.

In fact, no one believed it, they just didn't know what was going on.

Apparently the screamer triggers if it detects that your memory is faulty (similar to how the old version of VAC used to ban users for having the same problem).

It appears to be a form of anti-piracy, it seems to be badly coded because in the code the screamer function is referred to as AntiPiracyScreen() and displays a simple texture of a face onto the screen while playing a screaming sound from the game.

I managed to get the screamer to trigger for me by editing a few random bytes in the .EXE that is used to run the game.

I can safely confirm that this is not a trollpost.

There are screamers in the game, though. If I recall they were also the first common enemy to one-shot as well :<

Another interesting feature I must add about the characteristics of this screamer is that it manipulates the Windows volume and instantly sets the volume to the max. Even if the Windows tray's volume control is muted, you will still hear the sound fully. It's shares many characteristics to that of malware. I've e-mailed the Valve regarding this.

I've ripped the files from the game. I've found two files that I'm unable to explain.

FADE_2.WAV which is a VERY loud noise (I can confirm it's the sound of the screamer).a
a .HTX file. Don't know what this is. The file name is what attracts the attention, which is fickauf.htx. Presumably it's the screamer's face but I dont know how to view this type of file tbh.
