Gameguard error, won't let me play.

"GameGuard initialization error. Please restart and try again, or end any programs that may be causing a conflict."

I've tried with no extra programs running, and it still won't let me play. Any help for fixing this?

Two things to try:


Update your DirectX.
Delete the contents of your GameGuard folder, so that it'll re-download itself.


Try updating your DirectX, first. If that doesn't work, then probably your GameGuard has a corrupt file.

Its a problem with AVG... it detects it as a virus after the last update I assume it should be fixed soon.

Other than that disable the resident shield while you play I believe that works.

I went around the world and back earlier today trying to fix this exact problem. This guy's solution worked for me.

I had the same problem too, had to disable my AVG resident shield to get online! I hope this get fixed soon, I'm used to have my virusware run in the background while I play.

actually once you get the game loaded you can turn the resident shield back on without affecting the game. just means for the moment you have to turn it off then back on every time you start up the game
