Ahoy mateys.

So I tripped and accidentally installed the leak of Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 and then kept tripping (really fumbling here) and nearly started the game several times.

So here’s a list of a number of the accidents that have befallen me:

• Whoopsie! I clicked on launcher_pc_retail, started up the server (set to hub_battle_barge.pak), and hit “start” on Client A. Saw the Ultramarines logo in the corner, loaded a while, got stuck, went nowhere. Tried again on Client B, no dice.
• Oops! I put the SM2 folder inside another folder in my C: drive, as I’d seen someone recommend online.
• Butter fingers! I hit the gear icon and clicked “load to main menu.” Tried Client A and B again. I saw the opening logos and copyright but then got a crash. “Unhandled exception happened.”

No callstack presented

Click “Resolve callstack” button to show callstack

‘Send’ and ‘Save’ always resolve callstack

Warning! Resolving takes long time (around 30 seconds)

Set ‘ShowErrors.AssertCallstackOnDemand’ to ‘false’ in config if you want an old behavior

I don’t really know what any of that means. The config file in the same directory as the launcher doesn’t have a parameter with that name and I’m not sure where I’d have to put it in myself.

• Damn it, not again! I tried opening the MagnusClientRetail launcher in client_pc/root/bin/pc, which launched directly into the logos and copyright, and then crashed again with the same aforementioned message.

I’m wondering, hypothetically, how the game might launch properly if I were to have another accident. My PC ain’t so shoddy, though I’m no tech savvy guy:

CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-10600K CPU @ 4.10GHz 4.10 GHz

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080

RAM: 16 GB

Would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks.

[Yes, I’m aware that this kind of “SWIM”-style obfuscating of me doing piracy doesn’t make me less legally-liable, just trying to be “amusing” I guess]
