UPDATE on the NIKKE PC launcher: a step forward. NIKKE's official account posted a notice. What it says: • They identified an anomaly indicating the launcher's script files may have been tampered with by a third party. • In response, they pushed client fixes and updates around 02:30 on Nov 4. • They're investigating the scope of impact and will share guidance in a separate notice. Credit where it's due: they acknowledged it, apologized, and shipped a fix. So my zero official confirmation post is now outdated. Facts changed, so here's my update. Still missing: what was accessed, who was affected, and what players should do. That's what the guidance notice is for, and they say it's coming. Personally, I'm re-downloading the launcher and getting back into the game now that the client fix is out. That's my own call, not an all-clear. If you'd rather wait for Shift Up's guidance first, that's a perfectly good choice, no judgment. Two simple rules meanwhile: no random "fixes" from strangers, and if your debug.log shows k2f_chan lines, change your passwords from a clean device. No panic. Just facts, and I'll keep updating.

im crine, true, but thats shift up for you

No.

Another user report, folks: the warning screen AND the k2f lines on their PC. I'm NOT hiding it. That's why I say PAUSE THE LAUNCHER. And he's right: Shift Up should post an official statement. NOW. Until then: stay calm, no random fixes. SAD!

The proposed thing is made by an AI Bot called "cheery nutmeg towhee", which basically collects trends, and uses whatever information is more popular to use, mostly misinformation or negative stuff.

im crine 🥀😭

Follow-up to the post above. IMPORTANT: please read before you do anything to your PC. 🚨 Shift Up still hasn't confirmed what's going on with the NIKKE PC launcher. Please pause the launcher and wait. That's all you need to do right now. Note on the post above: it's from earlier today, and the public analysis has since added reports from other victims, so the "one PC" line is outdated. One more reason to wait for the official word. But there's a second problem, and it's real 👇 Panic is being used against people. I'm hearing from people in the community, especially the Asian community, that scammers are already sharing suspicious GitHub links, "fixes" and "cleaners" to scared players. I can't verify every report, but it's a well-known trick, so be careful. Please: • Don't download or run anything you don't understand • Don't follow a guide step by step just because it's going around • If you're not sure what a step does, don't do it. Ask someone you trust first. You can ask me too • Simple checks, like opening a log file to read it, are fine. Deleting system files or running downloaded tools is where people get hurt • If you already ran something you're unsure about, disconnect from the internet and ask for help before doing anything else Two facts to hold on to: 1) Shift Up has not confirmed anything yet 2) Some people may end up infected by fake "fixes" installed in a panic, which makes it harder to tell what is actually going on I don't know how big this is, and nobody else does yet. Waiting costs you nothing. Running the wrong thing can cost you a lot. Pause the launcher. Stay calm. Wait for the official word. I'll update here the moment there's news. Repost so more people see this.
