Oh my god I both do no don’t want this to be true
Theres been a couple games that had this issue.
I know Myth 2 had it if you installed it into the wrong directory or something.
There was some not-mainstream MMO that had the issue too at one point.
but I cant remember the name of the xcom knockoff that had it.
and I cant find anything about it cause I keep finding 5000 pages of results about recovering uninstalled games.
