AMD issues here, causing a full bluescreen. Due to kernal issues stemming from specifically GG. The game does NOT launch, only when GG starts to boot up will I get bluescreen.

The messages I get say: Kmode Exception not handled
and
amdppm.sys

Everything is updated. I've reinstalled everything. I've formatted and fixed hard drives.
There is no fix.
GameGuard is broken for a whole lot of systems. All we can hope is an update is pushed, or they change anti-cheat. I fully understand WHY they need an anti-cheat. Cheaters have reportedly spawned in samples and super credits (Specifically super credits).

Seeing as there ARE people who will do such a thing, then sell said account for real money, I can fully understand wanting to stomp out losers like that.

And don't whine about "They just wanna protect their microtransactions! Waaahh!"
Because this game's monetization is basically the best I've seen out of any game so far.

go look up what "kmode exception not handled" means, i don't have amd products so i don't know what amdppm.sys is.

Looked it up. It says: "The Kmode Exception Not Handled is a “System Crash” type of error mainly occurring on Windows 10 and 11. It happens when a Kernel Mode Program triggers an exception, but the “Error Handler” fails to catch that exception. In lay terms, the exception handler is unable to identify and address the problem or error."

A kernel mode program? That clearly is the GameGuard messing things up. And it more than reasonable motive to be concerned.

what I looked up it says diver issues so maybe you looked up the wrong info... and it's not your machine so I'm not sure why you're so concerned. :cupup:

Kernel exceptions are generally caused by kernel level applications.

Hmmmm.... I wonder what it could be :steamhappy: lol just kidding.

Yeah GG is causing havok on some AMD systems. Unfortunately, there's no way around it until the devs remove the malware. If it's not too late, I'd try to get a refund and just purchase again when/if they remove it.

My point was you made it seem I shouldn't be concerned with a machine that's not mine, and how it appears you don't understand irony since it's not your machine either, but are clearly REALLY invested not only in this thread but A LOT. Your inconsistency is really funny.

AND, why is my info wrong and not yours? I have more sources that say the same:

"The kmode_exception_not_handled stop code is one of the many BSOD problems of Windows systems. It indicates that a kernel-mode program raised an exception that the error handler didn’t catch." (https://mspoweruser.com/kmode-exception-not-handled/)

"The "Kmode Exception Not Handled" error occurs when a kernel-mode (Kmode) program in Windows generates an exception that the error handler did not catch. " (https://www.howtogeek.com/865206/how-to-fix-a-kmode-exception-not-handled-error-in-windows/)

"Kmode Exception Not Handled is a system crash. The crash happens when a Kernel Mode Program is causing an exception, which the error handler is not able to identify. Generally, there will be an error code 0x0000001E and sometimes the system falls into loop reboot." (https://www.iobit.com/en/knowledge-how-to-fix-kmode-exception-not-handled-error-on-windows-10-122.php)

But yes, I'm wrong and you're right, why? Because "trust me bro"

idk they would have to do some testing, why are you asking me?
if you google it they have plenty of suggestions that are available so it would be any of those if I were to make a suggestion, why do you require a list now? :cuphead:

I'm not asking you anything. Man, you really have trouble with irony.

To put it more clearly: you have no reason to believe it's an user error. The amount of people that have reported this issue points to the contrary. The error message points to GG, and even the devs said it presented errors. But you just refuse to believe it and your grand argument is "something tells me...". I mean, dude. You just can't be taken seriously at this point.

If any of you have The Asus gpu tweak try closing it down before running the game. Worked for me to get past The gameguard freeze.
