ERROR 4044

[tinkerchel]

So before I made this thread I searched in the forum to find a solution. Unfortunately none of the stuff I read in previous threads could solve my problem.

 

My situation:
I start BnS, the NCLauncher opens and the game updates to latest patch. The game opens and I can enter my 6 digit password. After I agree with NCSoft terms I land on the beginning screen and I can choose one of my characters... the game closes and I get an error message (error 4044). 

I tried deleting the GameGuard folder, reinstalling it, and restarted my pc. I still get error 4044. I tried starting BnS in safemode (Windows 7 pro). I still get the error. 
Any another ideas on how to fix it?

Have you tried re-installing the full game?

[tinkerchel]

Oh I did. I just forgot to mention that.

[Aria Kyu]

Sadly, that's all I have. I've never encountered the problem, and I figured a fix was provided since the thread "died." Best of luck to you! Maybe Dojo has a fix on their forum.

[tinkerchel]

I'll see if I can find one there, thanks anyways.

It seems to ba a simple Game Guard issue. Try deleting the Game Guard folder in the game folder.

After you Log in to the game again it will "repair" itself and the game shoul work again.

He stated that he already did this.

Have the same issue,

Get online, can run around for 1-2 min and then white Blade &Soul Screen like when I normaly close the game. Tried PC restart, client repair and new installation of GameGuard. nothing helped.

Yesterday it was just fine.

Sorry I may have over read this.

Do you have any ASUS or Razer equipment attached to your PC, because it seems this can cause the error too.

Its happening to alot of people right now, can't be a coincidence, there's a thread somewhere in the forum for it

Yeah, i have the same problem.. the game will crash with 4044 error.. and i tried deleting the gameguard folder etc.

[Ave]

I have this problem aswell, game runed fine for the last 20 or so days.

[Hazor]

Yeah, just started with this problem too. I had to relog and my game crashed with error 4044 withing less than 30s, now it wont even open. Already tried deleting the gameguard folder and adding exception to the firewall as suggested.

[AquariusHaken]

This is a weird issue. I also got it. Deleted the gameguard folder and it wont reappear.
Ive tried playing with disabled firewall just in case. Same thing happens.
Definitely somethin that *cricket*ed up server or client side and there prolly wont be much to do untill a hotfix or maintenance patch. 

Ill be playing something else today and hope they either say something about it or some one finds a solution.

[Losko]

It's happening to me aswell, been playing with 0 problems til this evening, now I cannot even stay online for 2 minutes, weird thing, I was playing for nearly 2 hours til the first dc occured today.

[Ghostdog]

Wtf is this? .... Yesterday everything's fine, today game crashed after login, deleted Gameguard folder for repair, was able to get into the game, after a few seconds get disconnected again. Great work again! Getting tired of this incompetence again and again.

[NeverLucky]

nvm

[Ardaen]

Thx NCSoft for "fixing" your Gameguard so that it suddently kicks legit players for no good reason. Feels great paying premium and not being able to play all of a sudden. Played till 17.30 CET no problems, came back 19.15 and game closes up on me after 2 min...

[Ghostdog]

You even should get banned for admitting that u use this shit and it's no solution for regular players.

[NeverLucky]

ty for suggestion ... like it`s my fault the game is broken atm

[Neevato]

I have the same problem, get into the game for a few seconds, closes like i quitr and error appears 4044. Don't know what happened. I could play since half an hour before. Friend of mine has same problem, others not.

[Ardaen]

Try this guys: Seems to work. Longest time I have been on since this came up:

..tried deleting gameguard but no solution ..i'm really not in the mood for disabling my background problems to find out what gameguard doesn't like ..gameguard why u do this ..why u haitin'

[Ave]

I found a fix for my problem it seems. (error 4044)

 

I was using japanese voices for my game. Had to go back to english ones and now I can play again.

Deleting the d3d*.dll files seems to work!!!! .....I'm ingame since 5mins now.
