Slightly off-topic and throwaway for legal reasons.
While reverse engineering the network protocol for Genshin Impact, I found at least a couple ways to cause memory access violations. It's really a pity most PC games aren't well sandboxed.
- Craighead 5y agoIts a stolen game engine, not much in the way of confidence towards anything they do.
- mikevm 5y agoAnd then you have people claiming that security/safety in game engine code is not important, therefore Rust has no benefits over C++ for games. Nonsense!
- Ygg2 5y agoReminds me when Morrowind caused file corruption issues.
- kuroguro 5y agoReminds me when EVE Online deleted boot.ini and bricked player computers.
- rowanG077 5y agoThat's not what bricked means. These PCs could be trivially fixed by anyone who can follow simple instructions. A brick means a device is beyond repair. A literal brick that has no function
- kuroguro 5y agoYes, I picked a strong word to poke fun at them :) That being said I've mostly seen the word used in the context of bad firmware updates or ROM flashes. However that's nothing booting into recovery or a JTAG won't fix.
