GOA Pangya (Eu) is Crashed to Desktop by CFP 3.14.130099.587 X32

Ok I already tried to locate the problem in their forums http://forums.goa.com/showthread.php?p=404683#post404683 but I only got as far as to know it could be the Firewall.

Since this is the best Freeware Firewall I’m not gonna kick it for 1 game but hope for a fix.

I added nearly all files My Own Safe Files and Trusted Applications and to the Network / Security Policy

But it didn’t help. The game can update normal, when it starts the splash logo of the game comes up, GameGuard shows up for a sec to check its up2date status, then a few secs of loading and then the threads of both applications are gone from the taskmanager.

PC Specs:

Acer TravelMate 5270
Soundcard is a generic RealTek AC97 I think.
ATi Radeon HD 2600 512 MB
Windows XP Prof SP3 32bit
3GB DDR2 Ram

If I forgot something please point me to that.

I also got a CIS Report file but when I tried to post it in a code block I hit the character limit.

Mhm, didn’t think it would take so long to get a reaction to this. Can’t anyone here talk to me?

Maybe everyone is stumped lol.

Have you tried starting the game or whatever with Defense+ enabled?

I think Game Guard is in the way. You may want to read:

Let me be clear about what it is: It is ENTIRELY DISABLING CFP and any other security software in an illegitimate way. Never mind entirely disabling them, by unhooking, it is also endangering the OS stability. The operations it attempts are not such simple things. It is trying to disable kernel hooks set by CFP.

Your only option is to disable D+ permanently. Because there is no way to run D+ and such a rootkit in the same computer.

We can reconsider restarting requirement for disabling D+ permanently. But this does not solve anything. Really D+ is only to protect against such things. You should simply disable it permanently if you are OK with this fact. No other security software will be operational in anyway with those game protection hacks.

Wow…I need to remember to not get any games with GameGuard.

I assume pirated games usually don’t have it?

Game Guard could maybe be a reason, but I think I have other online games too that use it and work but I’ll investigate that.

Edit: OK, I don’t have any other Game Guard f2p games installed at the moment so I’m gonna download one now, I really wanna know if its this or Game Guard.

Edit 2: I just installed Fly For Fun which uses Game Guard too but this one was playable so I’m unsure if Game Guard is the problems cause >_<

Well, new problem here.

In the hopes the game would work with v4 of the Firewall Defense software I tried to update and let the installer deinstall my older v3.
But when it started installing v4 the installer keept crashing so I ended up without a firewall.
I now had to rollback to an old v3 to have atleast a firewall again.

I had two installers of v4, a 4.0.x which was a bit older and the latest one 4.1.x and both failed to install at the same point.

Wonder if I’m the only one with these problems, gonna try it again in a few months maybe.

Edit: now that I have the latest v3 installed it is possible to play Pangya, but now it crashes the firewall…

I have to restart the firewall atleast one time after starting the game.
