Its not, cause you give the game permission to perform file changes when you download it.
I suppose that would be their argument but it's incorrect. The issue at hand is not a breach of contract, it would fall under tort law.

Yes. And if harchas mixed them up and noel didnā€™t actually get it and it is instead flontier who did then my theory still holds.

first thing comes to my head of difference between english and american when coding is issues storing dates and including "colour"/"color" in functions. i assume this problem is not as simple as differences between english and american english

With a player base as big as it is, I am more surprised that German isn't the default language tbh ngl

Yup, products liability law (subset of tort law) for selling a defective product to consumers.

But even if this were to fall under contract law, Terms of Service wouldn't protect the seller since the effect of the product went outside what is normally expected or outlined within ToS. Giving permission to modify/download files doesn't give them total permission to nuke your computer.

Harcha mixed them up, it's Flontier. I had this theory too but I still uninstalled (having my windows in English). This bug does only seem to affect people who have their system language in a foreign language, but this isn't confirmed so I still advise everyone to be careful.

Grateful that this thread exists.

When everyone posted DE gameplays, I was jealous because I had not got my DE. I was planning to get it in Nov because did not have enough data left this month.

Guess what...now l will probably enjoy playing with the likes of Ibero and JugglerShu on RE instead of paying 400 rupees to fuck up my system.

Couldn't it be someone is just sending malware through DE? Seems ridicolous that a game is deleting sys files.
I mean it even seems rather obvious that it happens after matchmaking. Been playing single player vs the AI for a while and didn't get any issue.

the crashing problem for me seems to come with ai scaling. if its a 1v1 or where the ai doesnt have a large presence its fine but if its a comp stomp where 4 ais are trying to move around it seems to bug out and crash

Lol I do remembner JugglerShu. He was an annoying opponent tbh. I don't remember why his name has a negative connotation in my mind though :flowers:
