Bug Report Weird stuff

[johnsutton]

It's changing random Windows Control Panel stuff like my mouse pointer speed, my clock and drop down menus on Chrome browser. It's basically acting like malware. Thanks, but no thanks. I'm uninstalling.

 

[Harold]

OBS does not do that. You have something else changing that.

 

[johnsutton]

Sorry, but I wouldn't say it If I weren't sure. I ran it on Windows 7, which ran fine before. As soon as I uninstalled and did a Restore no problems at all. You tell me. I'm not saying the problem is malicious. But it gets into things I don't want to deal with. <shrug>

 

[Harold]

And I wouldn't say that it's not OBS if I weren't sure.
You can check the source code yourself, it doesn't fuck around with anything outside of its own settings.

 

[johnsutton]

Right on, bro. It sort of worked except for the weird stuff. I'm just not down with fixing the bugs. That's all. Don't be offended.

 

[Harold]

It's not about being offended.
It's about being factual

Just because the settings changed shortly after installing OBS doesn't mean that it was OBS that changed them.

Okay, please don't blow smoke up my ass and tell me my knees are on fire. I know better.

You can say 'it's not a bug, it's a feature' but please don't say that OBS changes my clock an hour ahead like Daylight Savings Time. Because that's what it did. And it affected a bunch of other settings. I'm not arguing any more. Done

 

[Harold]

Except OBS DOESN'T DO THAT.

Go take a look at the source code yourself and find the spot where it does. You'll be looking for quite some time because IT DOESN'T.

You do not know better, OBS does not do the things that you describe, period.

It's possible it was downloaded from another site and not directly from the OBS site and malware was packaged along with it.

You can check CRC manually.

Installers has self-CRC check and has digital signature. Only situation may happen if original is packed inside malware. Then you can compare exe to md5 crc posted above.
