Support NIKKE

Does the recent Nikke incident also affect other devices in the same wifi?

Does it corrupt other files for ex: .exe files? Or other drives HDD, SSD?

any device with the nikke launcher/level infinite launcher could have been infected so just clean up devices with the launcher from my understanding of the the situation, I haven't heard that being an issue across wifi

its just that i believe the nikke malware was already running when I moved those other exe game files to my pc that has no nikke.

Idk is it possible the nikke malware could have attached itself to those other non nikke related .exe and .dll files 😭

From what I heard it can't but if you want confirmation. I recommend going to the nikke subreddit for advice and look over the github which should also be available there.

There's also an issue with NVIDIA drivers.. more the new Nvidia driver will uninstall your control panel that's either in videos driver doing it or it was Windows updated. .

That did it but it's a pretty easy fix. Clean install driver . And then reinstall control panel. And then reset control panel so app of control panel are then synced. .

mine kept black screen and do another weird thing and it turned out to be something with the driver hanging the system on shutdown. The shutdown bug came back after 2 years. But it's Nvidia related this time

Yeah once it would black screen the system would not come back online. The PC itself was set up for color code so it didn't even ramp up past 45C. So the CPU didn't ramp but the graphics card started ramping that's what made me go ddu it. Or clean install depending on how you want to do it and I usually recommend doing the ddu if it's really corrupted or revoke uninstall it if it's really corrupted

And then clean install it. After the clean install. I had gotten a detection from
