So, a friend of mine is attempting to run a game called Cabal Online. It randomly shuts down 1 to 2 minutes or sooner after startup. We contacted support and they said to type dxdiag in the run menu. We did that and under sound in the notes section it says something along the lines of "smwdm.sys is not digitally signed". I have done a little research on it and it seems as though it is coming form SoundMax drivers? They (help desk people) said that we needed to update our sound drivers. Im guessing this has something to do with it. Was simply wondering if anyone else had any input into this problem or have any knowledge of what "smwdm.sys is not digitally signed" would mean. If you need anymore information in order to give a clear answer just ask. Thanks alot.

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
