PC won't boot after unistall
I tried launching the game, but it wouldn't work. So considering my skepticism about the game in the first place, I thought I'll refund and uninstall it and wait for more reviews, but during the uninstall progress my screen froze and after 2 seconds of blue screen my pc rebooted by itself.
Now I can't boot my windows, while pc tries to load OS it shows blue screen with options to repair OS etc., but after minutes of doing something it fails. I don't know what to do. I can't format my C: disk, there's important data on it that I cannot lose.

You are just here to blame the game for something that never happened. Why? Bored?

Guess I'm one of the lucky ones. Game uninstalled successfully, same with the anti-cheat, did a restart and windows booted without an issue, but now I'm scared to even try and reinstall the game.

Pretty sure some of these guys are purposely lying to spook people into not buying or refunding, and I'm saying this as someone that's sketch about Gameguard as well.

If it's the OS that's not booting, I don't think it would matter if two C:/ could boot, tbh. Without a functional OS the only way to access anythign is with an external tool.

If the OS files are identical in both C:/ drives, then you could perhaps replace the current C:/ drive with the new one if you have a rig that lets you swap out parts. That would at least give you a PC again. But that seems like quite long-shot as we don't know exactly what happened, where the issue is, or how.

It's the same at every new release.

Someone is saying "Game bricked my PC" and all the trolls are like "HELL YEAH THAT HAPPENED SCREW DEVELOPER".

Mostly these people don't own the game and if you mention it "REFUNDED IT, WAS INSTANT REFUND" which almost never happens.

like i said in one of my posts, this is whyt only chinees companies use nprotect because there cheap to use, but its garbage...

why even have anti cheat on a co-op game... just give people the option to enable/disable Friendly fire, its co-op anyway xD

I get what you mean, some will go to other lengths (lies) due to their distaste of kernel level anti-cheats, still doesn't erase my unease now, will just have to wait and see.

Hm? I haven't had issues with the game other than not being able to join people at times. No reason for me to be paranoid.

What happened is the uninstall process of the rookit (anticheat) got messed up, and it nuked his Windows, it's not rocket science.

Of all the things that happened, this happened the most.

And then they do, and then they're accused of profile stalking.
Can't win in these cases, people will move their flagpoles just for the sake of argument.

obviously thats more than possible and it happens everywhere on the internet, but it doesn't change the facts. the facts are that

nprotect gameguard always runs in the background the moment you start windows, that its known to create a lot of issues due to its use in other trash games.

i've made my personal experience with valorants vanguard a few years ago and after that i'll never install another rootkit that always runs in the background because valorants vanguard used 6-10% of my old cpu (which was a ryzen 2600x, which was a decent cpu a few years ago) from the moment i installed it to the moment i uninstalled it. the moment i started windows my cpu would be using 6-10% of all cores constantly even in full idle. thats just so impressively inacceptable, i can't even find words for it.

never again, especially because nprotect gameguard is known to be real trash

How helpful, thank you...

I'll try to install second OS or linux as mentioned to recover the data at least... I'm not sure if i can do anything else about it.
