I’m sure there is a much better and more specific place to ask this, so please let me know if you can think of one. But i couldn’t, so I’m asking here for now. I have a program on Windows 10 (The game S.T.A.L.K.E.R Clear Sky via Steam incase somehow that matters.recently I’ve had this game freeze, and I can’t even get it closed with alt+F4. I know my OS is not entirely frozen because I can see the little window-switching animation when I use alt+tab. But the cursor is nowhere to be found, no matter what i do. After a few minutes, my game is a black screen on one of my monitors, and there is no way to free my cursor from its eternal damnation or even lay eyes on the little fella one last time
The question is: how else might i destroy a computer-wide problematic program, probably with only my keyboard.
I know it’s Windows, but there must be at least one other method that could work, right?
I typed this all while drunk so forgive any mistakes but goddammit i’m very curious what other solutions might be out there
Hell yeah I should’ve known this, i guess i’m just too drunk. That probably wouldve worked. The mouse wasnt working at all but CTRL+R CMD etc would have possibly worked (i solved my issue anyway but I’m still curious about it and I’ll try soon)
It’s a STALKER game. You are bound to hit problems in the future. Those games were so damn buggy yet fun.
Ive been using one or two mods to patch most issues, but yeah, this type of thing could always happen. It’s was a pretty random one-off thing with one messed up quicksave, but the thought/question of the post interested me anyway
