GAME JUST FRIED MY SSD!!

[TopShagger]

Stay miles away from this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of a game. I just now read, that there is a known issue that the game may break people's hardware - after it now just happened to me. Game crashed while in a loading screen, causing me to hard reset my computer and now it's kicking me right into bios saying no bootable medium found, which was my SSD.
How can this be "allowed" ? I'm insanely mad right now that I even bought this piece of ♥♥♥♥ game. I advise people that have the same game crashed as I do - stay away from it until this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is eventuallly fixed I guess

if it s a known issue why did you keep playing?

Microsoft takes some blame too if you were using Windows 11 Version 24H2.

What SSD was it?

I think it very unlikely there's anything wrong with your SSD, it's far more likely Windows broke during the hard restart. It happens.

Yes most likely. Games don't brick hardware. They can push them to the limits and if they already had preexisting issues they can fail. In ops case I thing that the SSD died resulting in the game freezing and not the other way around. Also 24h2 does have some issues with x3d cpu's. If you don't have one you are not affected.

Games can't do that

had this happen indeed, freaked out for a second, then restarted the pc and it just booted no problems

What you described isn't the fault of the game. You clearly had some issues with your SSD in the first place.
Considering that your game crashed while in a loading screen, means that there was a problem reading from your drive.

Don't blame the game for something that's clearly wrong on your end.

I bet you just tilted and smashed your laptop, now you are blaming the devs for your own actions, cool

Sure - one more of the million threads about how software destroyed their hardware ...

I honestly wonder how ppl like you even came to the conclusion that it was software XY - did you ask the dead SSD with an ouija board?

If you drive with your car and your engine dies - is your first assumption also that its the roads fault?

Exactly this. It's funny how the ones who don't have much knowledge about how computer systems work, are the ones that create threads and blame x y z.

To be at least somewhat helpfull:

A tip btw. SSDs die. Sadly differently from old HDDs - at least in most cases you knew that the end was coming - SSDs seem to die out of nowhere.

You can try some of the software offered by the company that made the SSD or contact their support. If its within warranty try that.


I also had a SSD die on me recently - it was the one on the back of the mainboard - since it was only once i cant say much but maybe it could be a heat issue that makes SSDs die even sooner?

How old was your SSD?

Same, a few months back in an unrelated incident. Was in a bit of a panic for a minute, but after a few failed boot attempts Windows itself detected that it was broken and took me to the menu where I could run startup repair, ran that and the PC started up as though nothing was ever wrong.

Not that a bricked Windows is the end of the world for me, I quite specifically have Windows installed on its own SSD, my storage on another drive, my programs and games on another. At worst I have a few hours of inconvenience reinstalling Windows and having to mess around sorting out all my settings and preferences again.

I read this about nearly every AA+ game that comes out with bugs.
It has never been true so far. What can be true is that a game taxes your system heavily, which depends on the system.
