*IMPORTANT*
Idk how big of a deal this is, but I think it should be shared/discussed. Maybe
Cursed Atelier could shed some light.
I was doing some stuff in my GPU's settings for another game, then closed that game to test. When the game closed, VoidBound's .exe briefly showed in my GPU's interface as the active gaming program. I thought, "That's weird, I haven't played that game in at least a week, and I've played a bunch of other games since then, so why did that .exe show up?" I then opened my active programs and saw nothing out of the ordinary, so I opened my active processes and saw VoidBound was running quietly in the background. Again, I've not opened that file in at least a week, have totally shut down my PC since then, and it didn't show in my taskbar as an active program, only in Task Manager as an active process. Worst still, Task Manager showed it's used
20MB of network today alone and has been running quietly the entire time (and restarting itself)
since I first opened it over 7 days ago. I wonder:
-How/why is it
restarting when my PC starts? I never gave it startup app permissions.
-How/why isn't it showing as an active
program instead of hiding as an
process?
-Why on earth is it using
network? Who's it talking to and why?
-How long would this have gone on before it was noticed?
-How many other PCs is it doing this to?
Maybe there are perfectly logical answers to these questions, but I've never seen an H-game behave this way, and can't imagine what legitamate reasons it'd have for doing these things.
Give your Task Manager a look. It showed up as Japanese characters for me, so right click on it and select "Properties" to see the english filename and location. Remember, it's hidden in "Processes" not the more common "Programs" (if your Task Manager is set up the same way as mine).
