Evil Gameguard Update

[Ana-Chan]

my problem is not opening the task manager but the fact that myu computer goes shit when I try. I wonder what's the IQ of the asses working on that ptogram, seriously.

As I wrote somewhere way back on page 1. The new GG update installs a driver as it starts up and removes it as it exits. This driver is what is responsible for at least some of the BSODs and quite a bit of the other trouble.

My Steam overlay still works, but one time GameGuard did decide it'd be fun to kill my fan control program.

Fans: ALL POWER TO THE ENGINES! MAXIMUM SPEED, MAXIMUM NOISE!

My Steam overlay still works,

Keep an eye it that it won't suddenly kill it's process off for no reason, it seemed fine to me at first but then it vanished.

Can start up the game again to get the Overlay back but I'm not going to be doing that whenever it decides to randomly kill it's process off.

Well, I've managed to get a good look at some minidumps in regards to the BSODs for some friends of mine, and it seems like GG is managing to terminate processes critical to Windows running and these are some of the causes of the BSODs.
Oh, and just to mention, GG also managed to kill both my Windows Sound service and at least one of the processes required for my sound card to actually work too.

No change on my windows xp after gameguard update.

Ahhh, is this what's been breaking my dualshock3_tool from working? Guess I gotta figure out the ingame pad settings now.

Eng patch should have that stuff translated if you feel like using it

Gameguard's popularity is booming in Japan: LINK

Wow, they really screwed up this time. Wouldn't mind an Emergency Maint for this, but I'm somehow doubtful they're quick with this seeing how nProtect is a 3rd party software...

I've had to hold down the powerbutton to turn off my computer multiple times now after this GG update. For some reason when i click volume control the computer absolutely refuses to shutdown even after i close pso2... I tried bringing up task manager and i get the hourglass icon then nothing... My computer is only a month old... Intel i7 with Nvidia GTX 580 card, if GG screws up my computer then... well fuck...

Found out if I start motionjoy before starting pso2, it works. I've gotta fix ALL of my settings now though, goddamn I'm running in circles in the lobby right now.
