Nice. Didn't Blizzard get into some shit over something similar?
Hunter Long
Why should i be worried though? You're just posting a bunch of buzzwords in caps.
Oliver Peterson
Not op but not many games need to put shit into your system32 folder, worry if you want to or don't.
Jose Williams
I have more than 15 years of PC gaming and I have never heard of a game that requires kernel access to run, this is dangerous as fuck, even if Capcom don't have malicious intents with their rootkit other people who do could easily hack that shit and have access to your PC, I recommend everybody to uninstall the game until Capcom does something about it.
Camden Young
it's not even meming. it's literally LITERALLY a rootkit.
>If you are unaware the new update of SFV (Street Fighter V) is wanting to access Kernel level just to play a game it is to be not trusted with these types of privileges no other game on steam does this and I own 80 steam games myself.
Benjamin Robinson
>ALLOWING IT TO SEE ANYTHING YOU DO OR WHAT YOU'VE INSTALLED I am not a pedophile so I dont care.
Luke Turner
A game having kernel access to your PC is dangerous.
That aside, it is also causing random BSOD issues. I doubt it's malware but it's certainly not doing any good for your PC.
Lucas Ramirez
MASTER RACE.
Connor Rodriguez
If you aren't cheating you have nothing to be afraid of.
Gabriel Young
It creates a backdoor for anybody who can hack into their rootkit to have access to your PC, if you don't think that's a bad thing then you shouldn't have a PC in the first place.
Isaac Reyes

No, it's embedded into your system startup. Unless Capcom releases a patch that safely removes it for you, deleting it will stop windows from starting.

make no mistake people are working on something this obvious as we speak. i dont play but if you value your shit get rid of it immediately.
Lincoln White
Remove it in safe mode otherwise it will tell you that its in use. If you're not playing the game anymore, you'll be fine after that. Otherwise, it will put the file back every time you start the game
Sebastian Green
Sucks for you then since consolefags already know what they're getting into and actually buy their vidya. If you want to play you got to PAY
Aiden Green
Really now got some sources for this or you just talking out your ass?.

No, it's not too late user, start your PC in safe mode and delete it from there.

Remember the Teamspeak hack, where passwords were divulged and thousands of users had their computer taken control of and used to purchase hundreds of dollars in gift cards? Did you know that Paypal did not reimburse anyone because "the purchases came from your account/isp"? It was absolutely insane and made everyone realize they should never install remote control software ever.
Granted, the odds are lower that it could happen with SFV, but based on the permissions there might be a chance.
Thanks for the (you), lad. That came in pretty fast. Also and

Probably not, if anything this is Capcom trying to prevent people from hacking Fight Money, but in their inconpetence they created a rootkit without realzing they would be putting thousands of PC at risk.
Adam Ortiz

Cooper Brooks

Yeah man, by me calling out Capcom on its horrible anti-tamper update that has bluescreened computers from multiple reports, I'm definitely part of the "Capcom Defense Force."
Makes perfect logical sense, excellent deduction. Real Ace Attorney we got here.
Adrian Green
Works on PS4 lmao
Aiden Gray
This was never a problem on PC though, SFV is the first game I seen that requires Kernel level access.
Camden Green
>Capcom.sys I don't have that. Does that mean you're lying, or is that why I can't get SFV to launch?
Jaxon Gray
this is their response. what this addresses is the fact that the rootkit is rightfully flagged by some antiviruses and they're explaining how to let the game bypass your protection so they can do god knows what to your system
for the record this is not paranoid conjecture, this is computers
Connor Richardson
You're fucked. It takes about 24 hours to dig into your system files then it deletes itself.
Leo Butler
Lol, I don't know what you are talking about. I just played the game on my PS4 and everything is fine
Jack Martin
It's only on the US/EU versions of the game.
The JP version of the game doesn't install it, feels glorious.
Carson Anderson
is this the same for the reloaded version?
Chase James
The file only appears when it's loaded into the kernel, if you don't try to run the game again you're probably safe.
Anthony Murphy
You wrote that like it wasn't something to worry about, tho.
Noah Barnes
You're fucking braindead, he was agreeing with you and calling the first retard CDF

Cooper Howard

Noah Robinson
Yeah if you can't launch the game that's probably why you don't have the file, the file is created by the game.
Elijah Roberts
Oh okay, thanks for clearing that up.
I hope they fix it and stop being retarded.
Aaron Morris
Man, this is some bullshit. I genuinely enjoy SFV, in spite of the flaws(Seriously, who whines about a story mode in a fucking fighting game? Why don't people whine that CS or whatever, doesn't have a story mode?), and they've been doing a good job at improving it, but this is just fucking unacceptable.
They'd better do something fucking serious, to make amends.

Aiden Sanders
If you didn't launch the game, yeah, you're safe. The file is created by the game itself when you first launch it, it asks for admin rights to modify the device, that's when it creates the capcom.sys and put it into system32.

Adrian Sullivan

I would uninstall the game just to be sure though.

You know why that happens? Because not even Steam has kernel access so it can't put files on the system 32 folder.
Dylan Evans
There gonna be sum fun if the shit that went down when Sony did something similar happens again.
Xavier James
So if I uninstall then I'm good? The system 32 file gets removed?
William Adams

I'm kinda bummed for Street Fighter on PC.
High level matches on PC are the same 4-5 guys every day. I haven't installed the new update on Steam. A lot of PS4 owners at the high skill level block PC players.
USFIV on Steam is pretty much dead with 200 average players per day. It's also the same small playerbase. I get bored fighting the same guys over and over.
3S and ST is on FightCade but again, the same people over and over.
I think I'll wait for Tekken 7. I'm a Tekken virgin so it'll be fun to learn a new type of game.
James Wood
>t. underage
Chase Mitchell
I mean, there's explicit proof that SFV acts similar to malware, antiviruses even detect it as malware. Granted it's obviously not an actual virus but the potential for abuse is high (plus there are multiple reports of bluescreened computers.)
Also, from what I've seen only people who've purchased the game are upset about this. Why the hell would a pirate be upset? Pirates have the older, untarnished version that has no issues.
I believe your argument is invalid in multiple ways as I've outlined above.
Brody Collins

Also, Garou isn't suitable for competitive play as well. Another broken game, it's still a very good and fun game.

Also Alpha 2 is superior to Alpha 3 for competitive play.

The Capcom.sys file causes BSoDS accidentally, not intentionally, and is a testament to Capcom's inability to do anything right. Not knowing how computers work and fucking up all over the place isn't malicious, it's retarded and inexcusable, but not purposely killing the OS.
Does anyone even know or have evidence of what it's SUPPOSED to do? Everyone says 'backdoor into your pc' but to what gain would that be? it seems like it's the most poorly executed anti-cheat/hack protocol ever, considering how pissy they got that people were playing Juri and Urien early.
Please tell me what Capcom's intentions are in installing malware?

There were very limited refunds apparently, but for the most part you're stuck with it. Either way the point of it is don't let a shitty and retarded third party dev dictate the quality of the platform, especially with as drawn out of a trainwreck as SFV

they do it all the time, and especially over things like scams or security/incompetence etc. I mean it's not frequent, but if something hits the press enough, they will offer refunds.
Besides, nothing says you *can't* get a refund past their stated restrictions anyway. It's just unlikely - if you don't often refund games and you have a large library you're more likely to get a refund anyway.
I bet if you put in for a refund as you read this, and for reasons you cite, "Security risk introduced by patch" or "Patch includes malware", then you'll get it.

go back there if you think it's any worth while. you won't be missed and you don't ever have to come back.

The game executable probably looks for some kind of flag set by capcom.sys in order to run. In a hilarious turn of events, it's likely possible to spoof the driver's existence via a third party program and carry on hacking, leaving the legit players with a massive security risk that blocks even innocuous game recording software.
Justin Richardson
>son, stop downloading games, they have virus on them, i saw it on tv My mom was right.
Parker Morales
You don't, or you do and put your PC at risk, since you know, the game now requires the rootkit to be installed in order to run.

Fuck off with your casual party game, tourneyfag

This is the shit that made me uninstall PSO2 ages ago because it kept crashing my computer. Is it in SF5 now?

I love the Alpha 3 shilling. I bet half of you shills haven't played the game or dropped it because it was too hard. Alpha 2 is balanced and actually a street fighter game instead of a shitty marvel clone.

Eli Johnson
0 actually, closest is that people were discussing whether alpha 3 was better or worse than alpha 2, and where USFIV should be tiered at. No one is defending this.
Nathan Cruz
>shit, that image makes valid arguments that I can't refute >I know, I'll call him a casual xD
Great job guys your case is very strong.
Meanwhile the whole rest of the world acknowledges Smash is a fighting game and belongs at Evo, and it will never go away. You will be mad forever.
Easton Johnson
Somehow nobody manages to implement them correctly. The best 3rd party implementation is hilariously, USFIV and that still requires 2 controllers to be on when they shouldn't need that.
Brayden Nelson
>doesn't know what a trainer is >that deflection >f-fucking betas

Catherine was at Evo as well. Stop trying to pick a fight for no reason. You know the only reason you said that is to trigger autists, which, why? They already have to deal with autism, leave them alone.

People should be contacting Capcom with high concerns about this, but I think it would be a good idea to go to big sites like SRK and Eventhubs requesting that an article be made about this issue. The word may be out, but there are most likely a lot of people who aren't aware of how serious this issue can be.
Asher Lee
Nope, still requires authentication and 2 controllers.
Damn pain in the ass too, usually requires a lot of finagling. Luckily the game is good enough to put up with that.
Wyatt Stewart
It hash checks the file and apparently not everyone's file is the correct hash causing the game not to run for them.
Isaac Morgan

Ok so basically, if I let Steam do the update but didn't touch the game, I'm fine ? Uninstalled already since I didn't touch the game since the story mode rolled out if that makes any difference.
Justin Hernandez

Oh Capcom know, you can be sure of it, they're usually quiet about complaints though.

There's also countless chinese mmo that come bundled with malware. And korean mmo with their rootkit "to disable hacks" which clearly doesn't do it's job.
Jack Adams
>Isn't there a nintendrone thread you should be in right now, smash babby? No, I'm in this thread because I'm into all kinds of fighting games, including Melee.
Calling me a babby still doesn't refute any of the points made in the image. Even the image you're referencing doesn't cancel out all the times Sakurai called it a fighting game or everything else it says. That is not nearly enough to make your case.
Cooper Collins
>Ok so basically, if I let Steam do the update but didn't touch the game, I'm fine ?
Yes, you're fine, the rootkit is only installed when the game is launched.
Noah Murphy
Yep. Steam doesn't have the permissions to install this kind of stuff. If you're unsure check your system32 folder for capcom.sys
Jeremiah Reed
KoF has weird implementation. You need to use a DS4 to go into the options menu and click a button to get it to register legacy sticks.
Revelator and CF are both plug and play. Revelator works fine, but it's registered as a second controller in CF so you need to either turn the DS4 off or assign it to a different profile to get the stick to be P1.
Mason Wood
Why is it asian devs that do this?
Why is there a link between chinks and scummy shit like this always

You can try to get a refund, Steam allows refunds on special cases (I'm sure this qualifies as a special case), no matter how much time you have played.

The general consensus tends to be that Alpha 2 Gold is the best iteration for competitive play.
I grudgingly tend to agree, though I have a soft spot for the "Hyper Street Alpha 3" PS2 version. Mixing Z-ism with street fighter 3-like paeey and the Alpha 3 roster? Perfectly broken, but pure gold.

Good thing I play fighting games on Consoles like any sensible person would, and filter PC users from MM.
Ryder Hernandez
Since this driver is so small, it's also extremely easy to tell what it does. After taking a look, I would never let this product run on my machine.
The driver first registers itself using a pseudo-randomly generated name. That's kind of suspicious. It also doesn't specify any security, so any user at any privilege level can attempt to open and control the device. That's bad.
It sets up custom handlers for opening the device object, closing the device object, and performing ioctls on the device object. This is pretty normal, although a driver that didn't set up basic security when creating its device should perform security checks when opening the device. This driver does not.
The ioctl handler is where everything "interesting" happens. It checks for control codes 0xAA012044 and 0xAA013044, does some buffer size checks, disables data execution protection and then runs the arbitrary code passed in through the ioctl buffer with kernel permissions.
In short, this driver creates a back door which can allow a non-privileged user to run code with permissions of the kernel.
Ian Jones
I thought teamviewer and teamspeak were two different things or is it owned by the same company?

Connor Price
I love all the blatant bait of people in this thread making this a PC vs console argument about how PCs are shit.
It's somehow working too. Something like this actually happening plus people not taking it seriously upsets me.
This is in the same vein as Sony having plain text passwords on their servers and then that huge data breach on top of it. This is a catastrophe waiting to happen. This isn't PC vs consoles, this is very bad practice and it can cause awful things to happen on any piece of hardware.
Wyatt Parker
Jesus fucking Christ Capcom this is literally the last time I will ever give you money. I got it for 30 bucks and I still feel extremely fucked in the ass for that and it's not like I can get a refund either.

Probably because of fight money. Early on release, things, trainers were prevalent and mods existed that would forego survival and make it one round, adding ridiculous amounts of FM to peoples accounts. This was logged locally and never server side, so the only thing capcom would ever see was an indication that survival was complete and then deposit the FM.
Liekwise, Juri and Urien have been playable for months with CheatEngine, and people were even dumb enough to throw that into rank. I'm assuming this is all some half assed attempt to control tampering with the game.

Both Capcom, and SNK basically stopped making fighters, ACS just kept releasing a billion rebalances of GG, and those were the big series. Sure, there was games here and there, and tournaments still continued, but things died down bigtime. Hell, I'm not even really a big Capcom fan, I'm a much bigger SNK fan.
Charles Stewart

Josiah Wilson
Maybe if they didn't make shit like survivor such a chore, or tell me characters aren't done but their complete files and move sets existed in an update 3 months ago, people wouldn't be so eager to hack shit.

>have 54 minutes played in sfv >ask for a refund and explain to them how this update is malware and its a security problem >NAH SORRY ITS BEEN OVER 2 WEEKS XD
Is this refund shit just automated? Should I try to contact support? This is really bullshit, I could understand not refunding 500 hours of game play but I have 54 minutes and exceptions need to be made for instances like this where updates are basically viruses.

they would ban you for rushing down with guile instead of turtling

Remember Vanilla Sagat and Akuma in SFIV? Imagine years and years of that not being fixed, because "It's good for competitive play", while they nerf mid-tier characters into the ground, because people aren't playing them the way that Riot wants them to be played.

Malware is software that's intentionally malicious, like a calculator program that steals your banking info when you multiply something. Incompetent garbage coding doesn't make it malware, it just makes it an incredibly poorly designed piece of shit full of security holes.

If you have System Mechanic on your computer, it has an unnecessary second layer of defence which has recently been showing false-positives for malicious software attacks. This is causing random files to be targeted, quarantined and possibly deleted, including files that may be important.
the process is called AVSDK5 and you should end those processes in your task manager if you have them until further notice from iolo tech.
Other Anti-Virus software is bringing up similar false-positives.
World of Warcraft and Steam are commonly targeted by these false-positives.

>tfw my friend has me in their family sharing >I'm the only one that even plays his games anyway Do I tell my friend to get a refund? he only has a mere 30 minutes logged on steam.

people that doesn't have it visible has it hidden
so not only you're not safe, but you can't delete it unless you reformat or use special software in safe mode to remove it.
