![]() ![]() Hard-stopping kernel-mode services is not the way. Manually trying to unload the kernel-mode services immediately (using sc stop) crashes my system, even though they're marked as stoppable. The kernel-mode drivers get unloaded completely, you can verify this with Nirsoft's Driverview. The ACE-BASE and ACE-GAME services take a while to gracefully unload (about 2 or 3 minutes on my system), but also stop eventually.

Important: The user-mode service is not running when you're not running the game. If you're not comfortable doing that, the easiest way to get rid of everything is re-install Bloodhunt, run it once, then uninstall.
