Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor, an RPG released just after the turn of the millennium, suffered from an uninstall bug which could wipe out your system files. That’s a pretty shocking coding oversight, although sadly it’s far from a first in PC gaming. “Thus, when uninstalling the Launcher, the uninstall logic would simply delete that ‘Install Location’ folder, to leave no traces of program files created by the Launcher on disk.” Why on earth did this happen, then? That’s a good question, and Mojang’s Marcio Oliveira, who is Tech Lead for the Minecraft and Minecraft Dungeons Launcher, explains: “When a player selected a custom ‘Install Location’ in the Dungeons installation dialog, the Dungeons Launcher was taking that location and naively considering that only files written by the Dungeons Launcher would live there. Whatever you do, don’t uninstall the game if you aren’t on version 166 or higher, as you may run the above data wipe risks otherwise. To check this, go to Settings > About > Bootstrap, and if the version number is lower than 166, restart the Launcher. You can apply that fix simply by restarting the Dungeons Launcher, which should then grab it automatically.īefore you uninstall the game, be sure that the Microsoft Dungeons Launcher is running Bootstrap version 166 or higher. Note that this problem does not affect those who have installed Minecraft Dungeons from the Microsoft Store, and also there is now a hotfix available, as Tom’s Hardware reports.
