same problem here...
i play "combat arms".....
or should i say "i used to"....
now i can't!!
troubleshooting with game's support team (by giving them the error message of hackshield/game error report)
concluded that the Hackshield/game can not communicate with my pc (connection problem)
i can do anything else through internet as always but i can not play/run that game
i turned off my "windows defender" -> nothing
i set exceptions to windows xp sp3 (original) firewall -> nothing
and the entire "nexon" folder (game installation folder) to avast free exceptions ->nothing
turned off sandbox -> nothing
turned of all shields/protection -> nothing
all above together and separate and in various combinations -> nothing
i even troubleshooted my adsl with my isp -> adsl ok
uninstalled avast -> i was able to play/run the game...
i exited the game with alt+tab and reinstalled avast, re-entered game and i was able to play and chat in-game normally....
exited/shutdown the game and re-launched it -> ok !!
i hoped that fixed it but
after the next pc shutdown and start up....
i -once more- can't run/play the game.....
ask any other info.if any needed - i will do my best to provide it to you....
i hope this thing get solved because i am just about to uninstall avast for good....
and i am not threatening anybody , i am just stating my mind....
( :-[i am just a free user ,so they don't have anything to lose if i stop using it....threatening in this case is useless
)
i will be sad if it comes to that though :'( (uninstalling Avast for good -that is). i have been an avast user since
- well i thing it is -
2007 (!?!?!?) and i was satisfied with the simplicity and effectiveness of the program....
lite and hard at the same time....
(sorry for any misspellings....
)
