Oh man, I think you may have given me the clue I needed. On my second MSI X570s Max Edge WiFi board this year, because of what I believed was a UEFI/BIOS Rootkit. Strange things keep surviving complete wipes/reinstalls of my OS. Secureboot disabled/enabled, doesn't matter. Plagued (among other annoyances) with some 10s sound clips that randomly play, network usage monitor showing I'm downloading half a TB a day, uploading a 1/4th of that, etc. ClamAV finding some Unix.Ransomware.eCh0raix process running (first install)...

Could you have solved my headache? Switch motherboard vendors altogether? Is my board affected? I built this thing less than a year ago, and money is tight. Need to stay on X570 chipset, too much invested in this AM4 build.

And sadly, this game runs too fast on modern hardware. Back then the programmers used CPU cycles as a timing advancement technique. So like a Pentium 4's cyclic operation kept the game playable. Try it under emulation on a modern CPU and the game is unplayably fast. Yes I tried slowing down the processor speed in Virtualbox, can't find the sweet spot % so this game is lost in time. Like the dinos.

I had their former Soul BYRD headphones, they were an absolute delight. I love Beyerdynamic.

I see your post and I raise you Oostvaardersplassen in The Netherlands. A failed rewilding project fraught with culling starving herbivores. Scandalous and disheartening. Videos of lower jaws being shot off, headshots missed. Hard to find an article in English, but you can translate the pages.

And not using proper safety technique. Notice what's in front of the business-end of the silencer. Yup.
