Ahoy mateys.
So I tripped and accidentally installed the leak of *Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2* and then kept tripping (really fumbling here) and nearly started the game several times.
So here's a list of a number of the accidents that have befallen me:
- Whoopsie! I clicked on launcher_pc_retail, started up the server (set to hub_battle_barge.pak), and hit "start" on Client A. Saw the Ultramarines logo in the corner, loaded a while, got stuck, went nowhere. Tried again on Client B, no dice.
- Oops! I put the SM2 folder inside another folder in my C: drive, as I'd seen someone recommend online.
- Butter fingers! I hit the gear icon and clicked "load to main menu." Tried Client A and B again. I saw the opening logos and copyright but then got a crash. "Unhandled exception happened."
*No callstack presented*
*Click "Resolve callstack" button to show callstack*
*'Send' and 'Save' always resolve callstack*
*Warning! Resolving takes long time (around 30 seconds)*
*Set 'ShowErrors.AssertCallstackOnDemand' to 'false' in config if you want an old behavior*
I don't really know what any of that means. The config file in the same directory as the launcher doesn't have a parameter with that name and I'm not sure where I'd have to put it in myself.
- Damn it, not again! I tried opening the MagnusClientRetail launcher in client_pc/root/bin/pc, which launched directly into the logos and copyright, and then crashed again with the same aforementioned message.
I'm wondering, hypothetically, how the game might launch properly if I were to have another accident. My PC ain't so shoddy, though I'm no tech savvy guy:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10600K CPU @ 4.10GHz 4.10 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080
RAM: 16 GB
Would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks.
[Yes, I'm aware that this kind of "SWIM"-style obfuscating of me doing piracy doesn't make me less legally-liable, just trying to be "amusing" I guess]
I sent you a DM to warn you to avoid it. Let me know if it works for you so I know what NOT to do.
