Gameguard Error Fixes

You're all pumped up to play your favorite online game. You turn on your computer, double click on the game launcher, then boom! GameGuard Error. What are you supposed to do now?

*****The most common GameGuard error's and their solution*****

[Error Code:6 Type:405] - is related to Invalid timestamp or timestamp out of acceptable boundries, normally encountered when entering dungeons its a failsafe to stop bots entering dungeons with faked/forged packets.

All cases have been traced to either:
1.Multiple persons in a team all trying to enter a dungeon at same time, each person in team will get the error as the team is dc "Or"

2.The persons connection is unstable due to excessive uploading/downloading on the network, or In-efficient Networking Hardware (* Router/Wifi cards/Wifi Ariels *)
This can be resolved by checking connection status and identifying source of weak connection, and removing said problem, I.e. > Tell other users of shared connection to limit download/uploads

(* It is my personal opinion that this has only been affecting Wireless players and therefore is PROBABLY due to the distance they are from there router.... but I cannot 100% confirm this yet I am 95% sure this is the case, I have been able to reproduce this error by simply standing where my Wifi connection is at its weakest while still being connected, Ec06 405 reproduced on 3 occasions during this experiment *)


[Error Code:6 Type:421] - Is due to a gameguard error.

Delete the current gameguard folder and either let the launcher download a fresh copy, or replace it with one that works (from someone else).


[Error Code:6 Type:905] - Is related to animations and gameguard.

Re-installation and ensuring the client is functional will fix it.


Error: When attempting to log into the game I receive the following error - "an error has been detected by the hacking protection system"

Cause: GameGuard has identified a program or file which it believes is malicious.

Solution

* Run a full anti-virus and malware scan - if gameguard identifies any spyware it will automatically show this error message
* If your computer is clean, please check the forums (thread to be made shortly), for a list of programs which might be conflicting with GameGuard. Well known programs include Yahoo Toolbar and several anti-virus softwares
* If you cannot see any program which might conflict with GameGuard, and have scanned your computer fully for malware, please try deleting all processes with the exception of CABAL.
* Still not work? Contact CABAL Online technical support


Conflict between AVG and GameGuard
Since the latest update to AVG Anti-Virus, GameGuard has been mistakenly identified as a Trojan Horse software. This has prevented GameGuard from being able to load and has had the effect of stopping users from accessing the game.

INCA, the developers of GameGuard, have provided us with the following work around. They have also informed us that they are working closely with the developers of AVG, in order to find a solution as soon as possible.

The Solution:

1. Open the AVG Anti Virus Command Centre
2. Double click the option
3. Click the "Excludes" tab
4. Click the "Edit Excludes" tab
5. Add the path to the GAMEGUARD folder.

Please make sure no other processes are running while playing Cabal (upload process list from task manager), that your internet isn't having connection problems (run a tracert), your drivers are all up-to-date (update via provider's site), your PCs meet the minimum specs and that your clients are all cleaned of corrupt files.

Process explorer can be helpful when checking what processes are doing what, so it's advisable to download that and upload the screenshot from that if you need help.

Checking for connection issues:

# Press the Start button
# Select RUN and type CMD at the text box
# At the command Prompt (eg. C:windows), type this Tracert Tracetest.e-games.com.ph
# Wait for the test to be finished then expand the CMD window

Upload those screenshots when finished.

If you keep disconnecting can you please also perform a google ping and keep it running:

Start -> Run... -> "CMD /k ping -t www.google.com"

Leave this running while you play; when you next disconnect check the CMD window for any fluctuations in the connection (time-outs etc.).

If you receive time-outs frequently regardless of Cabal it could be a DNS issue. Instead, run the ping via IP:

Start -> Run... -> "CMD /k ping -t 216.239.59.104"

And leave that running throughout your next disconnection.

If it's not a connection issue it will be a hardware/software issue. So please make sure your drivers are all up-to-date by visiting the manufacturers website and downloading the relevant driver(s). If that still doesn't work you can also try rolling back and using a slightly older driver (no, a 3 year old driver will not do - I mean up to 12 months difference).

Please also check your PC meets the requirements for running CABAL Online (Europe). If not I'd suggest upgrading the hardware that fails to meet the standards.

Finally you can also reinstalll your client. The fail-proof solution would be:

1. Start -> Run... -> "msconfig" -> "startup" -> "disable all" -> Apply -> Reboot PC.
2. Uninstall your client
3. Delete from installation location (e.g. C:\Program Files)
4. Delete from Recycle Bin
5. Reboot PC
6. Install fresh client (do not open the launcher afterwards)
7. Apply all in one patch


NB I advised removing startup programs to reduce running processes that could interfer with the installation process. You can re-enable the processes once the installation task is complete.

Also, starting up programs in conjunction with Cabal may cause Gameguard to behave irrationally and treat any software being loaded as a hacking attempt - so take note of what you're loading incase you recieve an EC while doing so.
Starting up additional programs can also demand CPU resources that your PC doesn't have at hand because of Gameguard; in these cases the CPU refocuses its efforts on loading the program without regard for those already running - which can lead to broken uploads/downloads to and from the servers and desynchronization (which is then detected by Gameguard -> kicking you from the game).
