Obligatory Gameguard Thread


Recommended Posts

So your game was running perfectly smoothly again for the last 2-3 days after you disabled Gameguard (I was having constant freezes even though I'm at a steady 55-60 fps) but since tonight, when it launched again with the start of the game, the CONSTANT freezes are back.

At one point you guys will have to figure your SHIT out, seriously.

Still can't believe what a massive difference having GG disabled makes. How can I program be so incredibly shitty that it cuts framerates by 80%?

 

Turn the crap back off NC, I was enjoying my system running 11C cooler and smooth.

To be honest they probably shut it down again after all the error 4049 complaints as well as the fact the download was blocking players and breaking the game literally.

 

Now if they would only just admit its not working and stop beating this dead horse called GG...............

  • 3 weeks later...

Once again, NCSoft has decided to re-implement Gameguard and, once again, my game has become almost completely unplayable.  My game is reduced to low FPS and screen freezes every 3 seconds or so.

 

My ability to progress in the game has been hampered to the point where I can not participate in dungeon runs or 24-man content because I do not want to be "that guy" who can't iFrame correctly due to unplayable screen freezes.

 

Thank you NCSoft for re-implementing this useless rootkit that does effectively nothing at detecting bots, hackers and macro-users.  Those playing this game with malicious intent can already overcome Gameguard's restrictions so the only people this affects are legitimate players.

Unfortunately, I am also suffering from the "GameGuard side effects" as NCSoft staff calls it. I have posted about this in Bug Reports in the hopes that someone out there has a potential fix, apart from removing GameGuard entirely, which obviously we can't do on our own. The sad dark days of GameGuard returns... I am interested to see if anyone notices a difference in bot population with GameGuard activated, my server certainly hasn't seen a change.

Same here...I just launched the game today, and saw GameGuard pop up.....In the Login screen where u put Pin Code, got disconected like 2-3 times, then managed to log in, after 10 mins got disconnected again, it always generate a different error code/number, and it's like that since then, getting disconnets all the time now...sometimes after 30 mins, sometimes after 10 mins...

Running without a problem for weeks, today i was having some issues and crashes in the middle of a dungeon, not sure why until i restarted the game and seen the GG logo.

Now i know the reason why im having problems.

Bots and speed hackers still there by the way.

My FPS is still the same after the re-implementation of Gameguard. It might be a different issue.

There was no patch today so its not like they changed anything.  Its the same exact symptoms: a hit to FPS and the screen locks up for half a second every three seconds, on the dot.

No change to the bots and spammers.  They were up and running when I logged on.

Hav ya tried updating gameguard? Since rikiri said they optimized it. I hope that may help. 

Gameguard automatically updates when you launch the game, if they have it activated.  I noticed I saw it updating/running today when I launched the game.

got no lags or probs with the gameguard (unlike in the last time that kept getting weird errors every 5~15min x.x)

 

to those that experiencing FPS drops or random crashes due to the gameguard... I don't envy you :\

was really frustrating when the gameguard fked up my game experience :c

When was this gameguard thing, cause maybe just like 2-3 hours ago, the summoner teleport bots are still in SSP

This morning.  They announced Gameguard was re-implemented today and you can notice its being activated again when you launch the game now.

When will NCSOFT get off their lazy asses, use the metric ton pile of cash they pretty much scammed out of many players, and use it to, I dunno, create their own damned anti-hack program specific to the game they're using it on?

Something, ANYTHING BUT gameguard. What on this green earth can warrant using GAMEGUARD of all things to protect your game? It makes this already poorly optimized client even more poor for those legitimately trying to play the game, discourage so much as flinching because that's all you need for it to flag suspicious activity on you and close your client, and basically strips your own computer rights from you as it rootkits itself into your files. Not to mention bot and hackers still THRIVE even after a day or two of being cut off.

 

MMOs have bots, badly managed MMOs have thriving bots.
