4049 error. How to fix?

[Nupjook]

Ok so this happened, I looked it up and apparently it's quite a popular problem people have had 

 

Apparently many people fixed the problem by deleting the Gameguard folder in game directory and re-launching the game, but that doesn't fix the problem for me. I don't think Gameguard installs properly for me when I do that. A new Gameguard folder with file called npgl.erl (and nothing else) appear and I get same crash msg.

 

Can someone please help

Did you delete Bin & Gameguard these need to be deleted for gameguard to reinstall.

just want to add my input, game worked fine, nothing changed from last night to this morning, then started getting this error 4049 

 

you have to look in game installation ( default is c;/program filesx86/NCSOFT/BNS )

 

delete 2 folders here : " GameGuard" AND "Bin" then run the launcher as administrator and after file check it should redoawnload GameGuard , worked for me

For me the directory looks like this:

 

In the "bin" folder is the game itself as well as the folder "Gameguard", and the Gameguard folder I have tried deleting before re-launching the game

[WhoAmISc]

Delete that entire "Bin" 

 

just keep in mind the servers are all under mantanance now, so if it doesn't download the gameguard files right now after you launch the game, just wait it out
