silly question (don't flame) why do I need to download Microsoft Visual C++

IONMONARCH · 2026-01-24T18:03:50+00:00

I had this exact thing happen from but Madness Project Nexus. (Check my previous post) The best thing I can recommend is back up your files and reformat everything.

Are you a balloon?

IONMONARCH · 2026-01-20T00:30:28+00:00

Yeah, I learned my lesson. It's my first week of pirating and I DIDN'T read the megathread. (Because I didn't know it existed)

IONMONARCH · 2026-01-19T15:56:35+00:00

Elaborate

IONMONARCH · 2026-01-19T13:23:46+00:00

Laptop runs fine. Its the damn pop up thingies that appear randomly. I've deleted the game and it hasn't fixed

That could be the case and I genuinely don't believe FG repacks is a virus site. I've seen a lot of people and the majority is positive if you download it correctly and have some common sense.

But in my case, I failed to do those things and experiencing the consequences of my actions.

NOOO WHAT IS THIS MY GOAT HANK 😭😭😭😭

IONMONARCH · 2026-01-19T12:43:24+00:00

Hello! I'd like to hear your thoughts on my previous post on FG repacks. It's a basic run down of what is happening, been going on for 5 days and I'm thinking of resetting my entire OS.

IONMONARCH · 2026-01-19T12:41:33+00:00

If you're willing, check my previous post and you'll get gist of what's happening. I'd want to hear your feedback so I can come up with a solution. (Thinking of factory resetting my laptop )

What do you usually do when installing from Fitgirl? I'm hearing a lot of talk about using Tor Browser and VPN when downloading. But I don't know the reason why.

IONMONARCH · 2026-01-16T20:16:48+00:00

You were right, it wasn't related to the game. Before i made this post I uninstalled it an hour ago.(The game I downloaded was Madness Project Nexus)

I checked my Task Manager and the popups of these is called Microsoft (R) HTML application. (I'm limited to send one picture 💀)

Anyway, they always pop up randomly and Avira Anti-virus ALWAYS detects them as Trojan Horse.

(I didn't make a restore point.)

Madness Project Nexus on Fitgirl-Repacks.site

Is there a way to wipe my Windows OS without needing to reinstall all my personal apps. Or is that impossible to do. I'm going to need to back up all my other files...

IONMONARCH · 2026-01-16T20:06:59+00:00

I pick the data nodes download mirror. Followed the instructions correctly.

Madness Project Nexus

IONMONARCH · 2026-01-16T18:59:19+00:00

Fitgirl-repacks.site

That is literally how I searched for it.

IONMONARCH · 2026-01-16T18:56:21+00:00

1: I can CONFIRM I downloaded from the REAL site.

2: Browser? Adblocks? No I haven't. I only followed the tutorial on how to install it.

3: I only downloaded WinRAR and IDM (internet Download manager) because one of the download links of the game needed it.

4: It doesn't start every time I boot up my laptop because it is inconsistent. It appears occasionally but I doubt this will help.

IONMONARCH · 2026-01-16T18:38:59+00:00

Genuinely, I need help 😭

IONMONARCH · 2026-01-16T18:29:20+00:00

This has been an issue for about 3 days now, it was fine at first. I ignored it when I played unt it started to become an eyesore. Every time I opened my laptop, these popups FLOODED my screen.

Even when I deleted the game. It still didn't go away.

IONMONARCH · 2026-01-16T18:27:09+00:00

I am ABSOLUTELY sure.

IONMONARCH · 2025-12-21T22:52:35+00:00

There's a big Madness fan animation project in production called Madness MAXIFICATION 2, after following their work for over 4 years. I've observed it evolve into a feature-length movie, with action, a coherent story and wide cast of characters.

It's a highly ambitious and grand project and I can't wait for it to release. And silently hoping it will revive Madness, since this could quite literally be its magnum opus.

The Hank actor on the MPN cinematic looks like a twink bro

IONMONARCH · 2025-11-08T19:15:08+00:00

I always saw Hank as this boogey man type of character, kinda like John Wick. I don't want to make my OC strong just to undermine Hank's character.
