    I just discovered an interesting issue. After using the EO loader for BFV for better than a year my virus scanner suddenly would not let me load it. I deleted the loader files on my PC (Windows 10) and downloaded a different EO loader file from a different server. Then the software loaded and worked again. However, I shutdown my desktop every evening and reboot my computer the next day. I keep my BFV game files on a separate partition (from C drive). After rebooting I noticed the D: drive and the E: drive had swapped. I renamed the drives back to their original names. But, the next day after the reboot the drives had swapped again (I had used the loader the day before). The drives do not change if I don't use the loader. I have never come across this issue. Has anyone ever seen this, or have any ideas on mitigating this issue? Thanks.

    Interesting, I had two USB drives switch letters on me yesterday. I did not link it to EO nor am I convinced it is the cause, but the timing of your post is weird for sure. For me neither EO or the games files are on the USB drives that switched letters.

    I upped the sensitivity of my virus scanner. Cleaned a couple files in "downloads". Started the loader then BFV. Played for a few. Left the game. And rebooted. Everything was normal. Hope it stays that way. :)

    @Homie I noticed this followed the most recent Stellar update as well. Thanks for following up

    I have 4 disks and they all changed letters after using a spoofer and maybe a loader. But the fact remains.

    I also had two drives swap letters and didn't know how/why. This likely explains it.

    Did you try downloading a different loader? From a different server?

    I have been through many reboots and a recent Stellar update and not seen the issue repeat. For me it was a one time thing that happened 2 Stellar releases ago.

    This happened to me today with BFII, is there any way to prevent this?

    This happened to me again, same thing with BFII like the last time.
    PC crashed at some point and all the drive letters changed, Desktop became complete chaos after i changed them back.

    For some users installing the game on your C drive helps. We are looking into the issue.
