Game Installation Help

Q1: How do I install a game I downloaded from HDPCGames?
A: Most games come in a .RAR or .ISO format. First, extract the file using WinRAR or mount the ISO using PowerISO or Daemon Tools. Then, run setup.exe or the installer inside the folder and follow the on-screen steps. Easy peasy!

​

Q2: I’m getting errors like “Missing DLL” or “0xc000007b”,0xc0000142, 0xc0000xxx,… What now?
A: Don’t worry—it’s a common issue. These errors usually mean you’re missing some required system files. Just install or update:​

  • DirectX

  • Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables (2005–2015)

  • .NET Framework 4.5 or higher

You can find these on the official Microsoft website.

​

Q3: It’s asking me for a password when extracting. What’s the password?
A: All games from our site use this password when needed:
🔑 www.hdpcgames.com or 123​

Just copy and paste it if you’re having trouble typing it out.

Q4: “Corrupted file”, “Damaged” or “Bad password” error while extracting .rar files

Damaged File

A: If you encounter this error, ensure that your downloaded files are correctly sized and have matching names. Only the last file should be smaller in size.
​damaged 2

To resolve this issue, re-download the file that is smaller in size and make sure to rename it if its name differs from the others. Always avoid using excessive bandwidth while downloading games, as a poor internet connection can result in corrupted files.

🛠️ Cracks, Fixes & Launch Problems

Q5: Is this game safe? Does it contain viruses or trojans?

A: Don’t worry—it’s a false Positive. Game cracks often use techniques that resemble those used in malware, which can trigger antivirus software to flag them as threats. Even though they’re not harmful, your antivirus might still block or delete them.

Q6: Does this site have a virus?

A: It’s impossible to get a virus just by visiting my website Hdpcgames. You can only get one by downloading and running infected files. If some say Hdpcgames has viruses or your antivirus flags it, they’re wrong. Some programs mistakenly block ads, which may be flagged as threats. Cookies can’t carry viruses either. You can whitelist our site if you trust us; otherwise, feel free to use another one. For more info, you can look up how cookies work

Q7: The game crashes, doesn’t open, or closes instantly. Help!
A: A few things you can try:

  • Right-click the game and select Run as Administrator​

  • Try running it in Compatibility Mode (Windows 7/8)​

  • Temporarily disable your antivirus (sometimes it falsely flags the crack)
    ​

Q8: The game is asking for a CD key or activation code.
A: This means the crack wasn’t applied correctly. Make sure you:​

  1. Open the game folder​

  2. Find the folder named Crack or PROPHET/PLAZA/CODEX (depends on the release)​

  3. Copy everything from that folder into your installed game directory (replace if asked)​

That should do the trick.

​

Q9: My antivirus is flagging game files as threats. What should I do?
A: This is known as a false positive. Many game cracks are flagged by antivirus software even though they’re safe. To prevent this:​

  • Temporarily disable your antivirus during installation.​

  • Add the game folder to your antivirus’s exceptions list.​

Remember to re-enable your antivirus after installation.

​

Q10: The installation is stuck at a certain percentage or takes too long.
A: Several factors can cause this:​

  • Background Applications: Close unnecessary programs to free up system resources.​

  • Antivirus Interference: As mentioned, disable your antivirus during installation.​

  • Corrupted Download: If the problem persists, re-download the game and ensure the download is complete and uncorrupted.​

Q13: Can I update the game after installing it?
A: Nope. Cracked games usually don’t support official updates. Updating through a launcher like Steam or Epic Games will break the crack and make the game unplayable. Wait for us to upload the latest version instead.

​

Q14: Why is my download speed slow?
A: Download speeds can be affected by:​

  • Server Load: High traffic can slow down downloads.​

  • Internet Connection: Check your connection speed and stability.​

  • Download Manager: Use a reliable download manager to optimize speeds.


​

Q15: The game is not saving my progress. What can I do?
A: This can happen if the game doesn’t have the necessary permissions:​

  • Run the game as an administrator.​

  • Ensure the game folder is not set to “Read-Only.”​

  • Check if your antivirus is blocking the game from writing save files.​
