NBA 2k18 crashing after Windows update?

Postby timmyd on Mon Oct 16, 2017 2:17 pm

Not sure if anyone else is having issues with the newest Windows 10 update, but it has been ruining computers around the globe, thousands and thousands of computers. Alot of us were stuck in a BSOD loop.

Anyways, ever since this update was rolled out, I have been having NBA 2k18 crashes. Specifically in MyLeague when I look at John Walls stats. Performance has also taken a hit, more framedrops during gameplay.

Anyone else?

FYI, I went back to an old restore point, and my computers overall performance became sluggish.
Willing to help complete rosters for season/my league use.

I still play on windows 7. I refuse to upgrade to 10.

All my games run amazing on 7. Sorry to hear of your struggles, I heard the same things about 10.

i agree, also many people refuse to upgrade because of this reason:

Not surprising. Not like our information isn't being sent out as it is, Christ... I don't even think turning off the "Send information" actually works, I think it is there for show.

Regardless, glad I stuck with 7. They were trying to force the upgrade on me for months, including getting prompts like "You will be upgraded to Windows 10 on xx-xx-xxxx", but with little tiny writing on one of the corners "If you do not want the upgrade right now, click here to postpone". So I just kept postponing FOR MONTHS until they stopped bugging me.

Gotta question the motives of a company when they are trying that hard, including tricking people, to get them to convert to a new OS. I don't trust it.

Windows 7 is not so much better on this point, it contains MS spywares too.

And even if you think are "safe" from MS, are your from hackers ?
Because they know about Win 7 unpatched vulnerabilities due to MS patches for Win 10, while Win 7 still await updates for weeks...

I don't think I'm safe with windows 7 from it.... I never said that.

My performance on windows 7 is what I like. I am absolutely not safe from it on windows 7. I still think it's fishy when a company is trying to force you to upgrade, even using lengths like trying to trick you, that absolutely is fishy.

I just wanted to say that you can't be paranoiac about MS telemetry, and can't be about exposing an old OS onlin, while ingame performances are pretty close.

BTW, in Windows 7 or 10, you have to use powershell and registry to fully disable telemetry.

The in game performance on my current games and older games is better on 7. A lot of people complain about performance and compatability issues with 10.

In regards to sending information, my post above says that I think regardless they send it anyway. But it STILL IS suspect when a company bludgeons you to death for almost a year trying to get you to upgrade, including trying to trick you.

I stand by everything I have said.

All these issues when windows updates. I have never once had any issues with windows updates. Never. Not sure why I haven't. Maybe it's the way I have my system configured.

Same with iphone. I always read of this and that issue when they update but I've never seen the problems.

while i agree win7 is prob able to send out the data just like win10 after the updates. at least on 7 we have the ability to disable it.
think like this... when windows 11 has the built in ability to take any file they want off your computer, are you going to be ok with that and make excuses?

if you really care, you filter incoming and outgoing traffic with a (real) firewall
