Theres been a couple games that had this issue.

I know Myth 2 had it if you installed it into the wrong directory or something.

There was some not-mainstream MMO that had the issue too at one point.

but I cant remember the name of the xcom knockoff that had it.

and I cant find anything about it cause I keep finding 5000 pages of results about recovering uninstalled games.
