Rickyh24 22 Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) I was finally able to log into a free port. Ran around for 10 minutes game froze. Hard reboot my pc and now the HD it was on just vanished. What is going on? Edited December 25, 2018 by Rickyh24 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boredaholic 39 Posted December 25, 2018 that's a pc problem not a game problem. never hard reboot unless absolutely necessary and even then let it go through all diags when you start it back up. i'd restart it again. If you dont know computers well. i wouldn't dig to much into it. Get someone else to look at it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magicthighs 0 Posted December 25, 2018 Bad luck. Few hundred thousand owners of the game, some of which will experience hardware failure today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was definitely caused by this game I’m sure of that I literally just had this HD installed. Unreal. Edited December 25, 2018 by Rickyh24 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It appears that I need to reinstall all my windows 10 games (gears 4, state of decay) but this game starts fine. I don’t get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you literally just had the HD installed, it could have been defective on arrival and didn't produce errors until it got some use. run a drive check- if it finds bad sectors or errors, just RMA it. Software isn't responsible for the data swapping conditions of your system. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeadMeat 22 Posted December 25, 2018 Things happen, likelyhood of something in game code causing it, nil.... Reality is there's a horde of components that make up the parts of a PC, the more complex is something is, the greater opportunity for failure. Get bored, research the odds of getting a mac address conflict... my 2nd contract, we're installing NIC's in a bunch of pc's and 'bam'. Likely there's a bad spot/sector, tried to write to that spot and tripped up... In that situation, you're better to try from a cold boot not a restart.

Rickyh24 22 Posted December 25, 2018 Everything seems fine now. The other games are working without a reinstall also. Like the HD just rebooted itself or something. I’ll keep an eye on it and run a test tomorrow. Thanks guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
