Patrik Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I remember that if i wanted to run Mad Max on pc, i had to change the time on my pc to the chinese timezone LOL, the game kept refusing to start and i kept searching in forums till i came across this solution that made absolutely no sense, but it actually works. did you encounter anything similar? killamch89, Withywarlock and Family sedan 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withywarlock Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I had an absolute ballache getting Mad Max to run. If I knew it was that easy, I would've done that instead! That made me laugh, thanks Patrik! Family sedan and Patrik 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that this joke actually helped you, not actually a joke, but one of many WTF moments you experience as a gamer xD Family sedan and Withywarlock 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family sedan Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 When an NBA Live game freezes, sometimes I'll press X. I don't know if it does anything or not. Withywarlock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m76 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Call of Duty infinite warfare wouldn't run properly, it kept crashing or running very poorly with stuttering. Turning off anti-virus software was the fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turning off anti-virus software was the fix. That's not actually that surprising. Some anti-virus programs can really hoard a computer's hardware resources. That can be especially true if that particular antivirus software software is, let's say, "paranoid" about a program accessing the internet to function like a game such as COD would. Truthfully, software like Norton and McAfee are far more trouble than they're worth Edited July 7, 2021 by Shagger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a specific incompatibility between certain anti virus software and the game. Probably because of the invasive DRM included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shole Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Turning off discord because it somehow messes up my nba2k online experience, I dunno why. Also not being able to play minecraft windows version due to windows update being bugged. Had to reinstall windows to play it....It's so stupid that it's so connected.

Empire Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Can be the same for GTA4 - We tend to break it more with mods and then people came out with mods to fix the game to run it far better so that mods can run better 😛 GTA was released unstable game in the first place. It run fine just that it was always not stable and made modding the game worse in that matter. Never did played Mad Max 😞 Just gave up trying to spoke it out of the window after 5mins of not running the damn game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change of timezone, really? This is very hilarious because I can't really link up how it helps to fix the problem of not starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is actually a serious problem that I have faced many a times. These antiviruses most of the times block the games from starting up. I previously had avast antivirus, and later shifted to Kaspersky, but both of them showed similar problems. At present, I don't have any antivirus and working with Microsoft firewall defender only. That works just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I kept wondering why such kept happening that way because under a normal circumstances, I believe the anti virus was even supposed to help the game play well.

Actually, those antiviruses unknowingly restricts the .exe file to execute. Sometime even after installation, my main exe files get auto removed by these AVs. Antiviruses actually just do their task to prevent any possible malware program from opening. And such third party games files are also a part of that.
