You joke but some malware actually keep en eye out for this and start behaving responsibly when it's open.

Not that I'm saying your game is malware

My game is GTA so it’s basically already malware 😎😎😭😭😭😎

I recently ran into an issue where running Civ V at 4K in fullscreen would just show a blank screen with whatever audio stream was active last playing.

Mouse, keyboard, Task Manager, Ctrl+Alt+Delete, all dead. Even the newish screen that's supposed to pop up when you try to force shut down didn't show.

All that to say, Sid fears nothing and no one.

That’s the Bethesda special though.

Every Bethesda game I’ve ever played, except Star field, has had at least one hard crash so bad it hijacked my system and refused to close.

Thanks Todd.

It just works

I've had various Fallouts refuse to close, but I've always still at least been able to open Task Manager and force the process to end.

I bring up my network performance monitor and glare at it when my ping drops. It helps!

You exit task manager and freezes again. Oh the joy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

But have you ever opened up task manager and the task manager freezes?

Yea, why does this happen?

System level interrupt must shake something loose.
