Helldivers destroyed my PC

[Sov]

Originally, I did not really want to play this game and only got it because my friends were all playing it. Its not because I find it offensive or anything, it's just not my cup of tea.

So... I installed it and played a couple missions before my computer started acting up. So I checked out the Event Viewer and found that Helldivers had fried my graphics card (My mistake right, the recommended is the minimum specs so I was running at my own risk).

I got a new graphics card (more powerful) and installed it again but my computer kept blue screening after about 10 minutes - 1 hour of use and not detecting my boot drive.

So I investigated and found that Helldivers Kernal-Level Anti-cheat had disabled my security processor for Windows 11 and completely corrupted my version of Windows 11.

I thought this might have been my computer and not the game that reacted badly to this so I installed Windows 10 on a separate hard drive and attempted to play again and was met with the same issues.

I am using an AMD Chipset and Helldivers 2 seriously screwed up my PC, losing me all my work and forcing me to wipe the computer completely and start again. Touch wood, this does not happen again but I am wondering if anyone else had similar issues.

My specs are;
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050
RAM: 16384 MB RAM

Yes, that fully sounds believable.

HD2's Anti-cheat has been documented accessing fan controllers and bricking them, forcing the fans into a non-operable state, so this isn't actually that wild. Ubuysoft and EA have already gotten sued over using anti-cheats which bricked people's computers so it's not that wild.


I'd be more annoyed that the anti-cheat doesn't work and still requires kernel level access to do it's job badly.

Dang that's on a Stuxnet level! Controlling fans?

Most are, yes, you should know "Humans".
They are Masters in blaming everything beside themself and for sure those Amazon Haters will jump the "claim False Stuff" Train instantly.

Fact is, the GPU Manufacture confirmed it was on them, not the Game.



Another part of the Lie: Haters going to make it look like it was MILLIONS of GPUs... just like you who picked that lie up....

Your biggest mistake was asking for help on a steam forum. Thanks for the entertainment though.

It probably stole your identity, too. Make sure your refrigerator and other appliances aren't acting up as well!

game broke your PC? Or maybe PC were not in state for gaming in lacking of cooling and fans? It's always someone guilty in your own mistakes to not think about your pc, to not consult with anyone or monitor your PC? Having a problems but not knowing about them or ignoring them... Yep. Sounds like game deffinetely destroyed your PC. Automatons did it!

btw idk how something can even fry budget cpu and low budget gpu...
temps there are not even like what on 12700k with rtx 4080.

Sounds like corruption of windows, disabling tpm is deed of the automatons hackers. We must fight them back for our comrade! We mush show them that they will not get away with this!

There is always a reason, but it wasnt the Game, and that is confirmed.

In other Words.... are you going to blame the Game when you are getting a Heart-Attack wile playing that Game...?

I mean someone is blaming water if they get sick cause it's cold. Fire when they burned getting hands in it, or work when money is gone with good sallary. Rain when they got wet. Air when it smeels like fart. Electricity when gets electrocuted.

i am not OP you know? XD

Ofcourse its Windows 11.
Because my Windows 11 corrupted itself without any help or anything a few months after a fresh installation.
Just completely destroyed the Updater, FUBAR.
So chances are Helldivers didnt do anything, Microsoft did.
Stay on 10 untill the public beta is over folks.

Yes, that fully sounds believable.

100% an electrical issue with your motherboard

Is your card and power supply correct for your system? If you are low voltage or have issues with the voltage it can cause all sorts of problems.
