Alright so I had a very odd problem happen to me. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit for reference I downloaded v4.2 full from kick ass torrents, and removed "AdditionalContentID 420" from the gameinfo.txt file, loaded GE:S and got the notification for 4.2.1. Clicked on the kick ass torrents link, opened the installer, watched it delete and write some new files, it then asked me to restart windows. Windows made it to the splash screen then went black. Had to force shutdown and reboot, same thing. Entered into recovery, tried to use a restore point, failed. Tried another, also failed. Ran a ram test, rebooted finally get to my login screen although its in like 240p. Windows tells me the restore worked so I try and open Word from Office 365, it gives me the cursor with the waiting circle for about 3 seconds then goes away and Word does not load. I made sure to choose a restore point after I installed Office 365. Tried to uninstall Office 365 also failed. It seems to be the only thing not working properly although having windows not boot is a bigger issue. I have not seen anyone else with this problem but is the KAT torrent broken or something? I don't see how the 4.2.1 patch could have done that much damage to Office. I am pretty much not going to take any chances and just do a fresh Windows install. I later saw that there are several 4.2.1 installs depending on which source was installed as well as some saying Steam needed to be closed. Could those have caused my issues? Any information is appreciated.
