As an April Fools joke, the game developers of this flash game made it all pixelated. Soon all over the forum are threads about how this 'Joke' broke everyone and their mother's quad Titan X setup with their i9-6969X and their oil cooling systems...

 

(BTW this was fully harmless and could be turned off in the settings, don't see why it was an issue)

 

Decided to make one thread of my own:

Quote

Yesterday,

I log into the game only to find a pixelated mess. After a bit of flying around, my screens turn off! What?

Yes, that is what I was wondering...

So, I hold my power button, until my PC turns off, and then I proceed to open it up, only to find: - my graphicxs card is smoking! MY GRAPHICS CARD IS SMOKING!!! MY GTX 980Ti IS SMOKING!!! ***??!?!?

SO I go to take it to repair, and today I get it back with a unfortunate message from the repairer that it is forever broken! *** Dark Orbit team? I will now make support ticket and want all £600 back for my GPU!!!
 

I get these (and counting) people who think they understand tech x)

Well too bad you chose to not fix the "April Fools Joke" before trying to play the game. There were over a dozen threads opened dealing with the Messed Up Visuals in several areas of the Forums there were also directions on correcting the issues from the PRANK.

The fact that only YOUR computer was affected by the issue is going to be a hard case to prove that D O caused the Graphics card to fail. Other factors are age of computer/card, how many hours operating time is on it, temperature of computer at time of failure, how clean is the internal cabinet of the computer, and what the computer is used for mainly.

My graphics card failed earlier this year because it was OLD and needed a break. It is not D O's fault, it is not the manufacturers fault, it is a piece of electrical equipment and it does fail over time.

Note how this guy is trying to tell me that a GTX 980Ti is old xD

Today's tech was not made for 30 year old gaming resolution. Also, how many players ever look at forums much less check out what the latest (snicker) news update. I laugh because it takes a player to discover the issues.

Hahahaha flash player resolution can break your tech lolololol

 

Had way too much fun with this one :D

The developer team made the game screen pixelated for the 1st of April as it was April fools day, where you play jokes on people x)

 

The whole forum of the game was full of people saying that their PC was broken because of it as it is harmful and what not (they don't understand tech)

 

This first quote is a quote from the thread that I also posted as a joke saying that my 980Ti burned up :D and the rest are replies :D

Wait, let's go back to the part where you said 'flash game' - people still play these?

 

What is this, 2004?

In all seriousness, what game is this that you're talking about? I looked for a link but I didn't see one.

Game called Dark Orbit.

 

I have to agree with you, why do they still play it? 100m users and counting...

 

oh and btw my friend refuses to play Battlefield 4 with me because this game is 'better'...

 

all you do in battlefield 4 is shoot he says...

Haha lol no, it is all 3d and what not.

 

People have played it since 2006 when it first came out, as for me I've been playing it from 2010 but have been banned a million times due to personally made botting programs x)

The last time I played one was in school, so not in this decade :) I had no idea

 

Not that I'm about to start playing any now! I'd be wasting this 980 Ti
