if the explanation is supposed to mean a buffer overrun in RAM instead that's a little more plausible, but modern systems still have enough protections against that affecting the rest of your computer and i honestly doubt you could effectively put an RCE payload in an username

and the part about it "also working on console versions" really doesn't sit well with me, especially with how in modern consoles games are sandboxed to hell and back, and even then the worst i can imagine that could happen is your console could crash

but again, i don't want to say that there isn't an exploit. i just want to give my opinion as a professional software engineer that everything that's been massively shared around sounds like a lot of garbage

and like the OP i QRTed mentions, uninstalling the game is overkill. as long as you're not running a piece of software (and this means also background processes), it can't do any actions to your computer. if you simply don't run the game until something is confirmed, you're safe

i have no stake in this. i don't even know what genre of a game titanfall 2 is. i just can't stand FUD panic-sharing in social media about easily-debunked topics

if you think this is a confirmation that there is a working exploit, you need reading comprehension classes https://mobile.twitter.com/Respawn/status/1435740468327899139
