Game crash causing Windows restart
Hi guys,
Somebody I know was complaining that after he updated his mobo and cpu that the game Dragon Age: Inquisition wouldn't start for him. Obviously the computer runs, so he got that far, but his problem is that when the game starts to load, it doesn't just CTD, it RESTARTS WINDOWS. What do you think his problem is? |

Before the handheld "age" places like BestBuy had a spell where games were considered by the pre-assembled industry (HP, Compaq, etc.) - as either for "make or break 'em," sales/profit wise. Today 50%, at least, of households play games -- lots avoiding the build/pc hassles with a dedicated game console. Games indeed are demanding and may require extensive troubleshooting thruout soft and hardware. |

What do you think his problem is? http://www.loadthegame.com/2014/11/1...on-denuvo-drm/ "its latest title is protected by Denuvo's latest DRM system" It says here, the people behind it are DRM veterans, but that the scheme was cracked in two weeks of work. That doesn't mean a public crack is available though, to stop the system-affecting problems. http://news.softpedia.com/news/Unbre...t-466284.shtml http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denuvo "3DM... has suggested that Denuvo Anti-Tamper employs a "64-bit encryption machine" that requires cryptographic keys unique to the specific hardware of the installed system.[3]" http://www.incgamers.com/2014/12/den...s-been-cracked "needs to detect a variety of hardware information on your computer" So that's why changing the motherboard, upset it. The NIC MAC address will have changed. And the fact it is crashing the OS, tells you it's "more rootkit magic". No wonder paying customers install the cracked versions of games. It would be interesting to see if Denuvo is white-listed in AV or rootkit detection software. I don't expect it would get flagged, and it's probably a waste of time testing for that. If an AV removed the rootkit, it would only break the game. Computers don't crash, if they haven't been tampered with. Paul |
