Outside of those things, you might also check the Windows Event Viewer to see if it has anything interesting to say about the matter.
Playing on ultima is totally free thanks to a motivated staff and a great community who make this possible. I don't know if the PSO2 server IP addresses are readily available on the PSO2 website for troubleshooting purposes, but you need to also try running a traceroute to the server IP(s) to see if you have any data loss. Welcome to the Ultima - Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst private Server, where you can enjoy playing this wonderful nostalgic game made by SEGA.
Make sure any and all software that you use related to your internet connection (proxies, VPNs, antivirus software/firewall software, etc.) isn't interfering.Ĥ. From time to time ISPs erroneously block things like GameGuard because they simply don't know what they are.ģ. You can solve this problem by rebooting your PC. If this is something your ISP manages for you, contact them and ask if there's been any changes, specifically regarding any ports/etc. There are cases when the game does not operate properly because GameGuard has not been shut down properly. Make sure your router's settings haven't been fooled with. I watched a couple linemen repairing my lines cut the connector off of one end of our line (running to the pole outside of the house), take this nifty little line squeezing tool, clamp it on the line about 1.5 feet away from that cut, engage said tool, and then proceed to pull it towards the cut, now an open end, and squeeze out a lovely stream of water.Ģ. This will obviously require a call to your local office to come fix their lines. This causes severe connectivity issues, and very frequent loss of connection entirely. I know old lines can certainly be a problem.įor example, if you use a Cable connection of any kind (Coaxial Cable lines), it's possible for WATER to collect inside the lines through loose connections.
Follow the next steps to see how to run the troubleshoot for GameGuard: Open the PSO2 Tweaker utility.
Make sure it hasn't dipped below acceptable levels. Fortunately, the PSO2 Tweaker has an option that solves this particular GameGuard problem. With that being said, check the following:ġ. As for WHICH issue, that I'm obviously not sure of since I'm not the one sitting behind your computer. Attempts to go through PSO2's site's support system has not been effective as it keeps booting me out when trying to login through Steam.ĭefinitely a connectivity issue.
If anyone has answers to why this is happening, plz let me know. This is the error site GameGuard gives when it times out, and I have already attempted each step's advice
restart PC (no change, same problem as reinstall) toggled Windows firewall (same problem as reinstall) reinstalling game from Steam (GameGuard initializes but cannot connect, give error codes in title) used PSO2 Tweaker to Fix GameGuard (guard doesn't initialize and PSO2 closes without error msg, needed to reinstall) I have done some research into the error codes and have tried the following: In addition, the launcher and Tweaker seems to take longer to load PSO2 news, and I suspect it's related. Solution 2 Disable any security software (e.g.Recently my PSO2 won't start and I have no idea why this is occurring. Solution 1 Hit ‘Ctrl+Shift+Esc’ to launch Task Manager. Try rebooting or closing possible programs that can cause a collision. Try this very, very, VERY last.Īlso, another site has this info about error 114:Įrror (114) - Failed to initialize GameMon. Try following some of the stuff outlined there and see if it helps! The person on there suggest doing a reinstall of Windows. This post in particular caught my attention. More digging brought up a thread for another game where a person was having the same problem. If not, then no worries! Just covering ground here. I don't think it will be possible to remove GameGuard for the retail launch but if things continue to be this bad I am almost certain NCSoft will remove/replace it. I know Game Guard has been an issue for a lot of open beta participants and in general a lot of players. Or, if you happen to have anything "malicious" open (like memory editors or certain cheat software), close it (and if it's specifically for PSO2, remove it). Sebastian 'Ayase' Streiffert just made an announcement about the official page addressing Game Guard errors and possible fixes. Is your computer up to date in terms of software and device drivers? Double check that your antivirus/firewall isn't messing GameGuard up (disable it and try launching the game). ( source)Īlso, is this the first time you have encountered this? The five ERL files ( npgl.erl, npgg.erl, npgmup.erl, npsc.erl, npgm.erl) which are located inside the GameGuard folder of the game folder are recreated every time the game is run. So some of these files it lists are apparently logs that GG recreates each time the game is launched.
