QuoteI'd like to plead for the two people who voted No to please comment. I'd like to hear why you don't want gameguard removed.
I voted "No" (current count is 6) cos it doesn't give me any problems.
I'm sure that it would at least prevent the un-determined and un-trained hackers from trying stuff. But of course, no system if fool-proof. (or determined-hacker-proof).

If anything, I vote "No" cos now that GameGuard is already up, removing it would send this signal to the wannabe hackers: "no more GameGuard? lemme try this hack I just found..."  :angry:

I voted no, mainly because it lets me float around on cloud 9 that the game cant be tipped into the favor of one hacker....

tweedles

voted no, because i really don't understand how it works, but it hasn't done anything bad to me..yet.

i'll vote yes when my programs start getting closed.

I voted yes.
I havent had any "problems" with gameguard, fact that its practically useless had me vote for its removal.
Gameguard gets periodically updated and its cracked by some uber geek moments later.  They need a better deterrent.  Or just get a better anti-hack program.

To cr0nik: Hmmm ok, I dont really know whats going down in the haxor community but I suppose the Gameguard is good for something if its proving to be annoying to hackers.

while looking for info on that aimbot, i discovered that gameguard does help; hackers are refusing to release copies of their hacks to the general public because gameguard will update against their hacks.  not only that, but if i remember correctly, a bunch of them were complaining about gameguard--definately a good sign.  i believe it's not so easy to crack through gameguard as you think.

-_- The only problems I've had with gameguard is it wouldn't let me turn on the gunbound avatar planner or screenshot utility...  <_<  I'll vote, for now, yes. Remove gameguardddd

GoodLad

Shinryu

andrewcleung

Check these out. That might give u an idea of what trouble caused by nProtect.

Problem caused by nProtect

Another nProtect problem

Okay it is nProtect.  nProtect is a scanner of files that is already oppened.  When you have a "hack" it runs a already "Turned on" .DLL file to do its job.  nProtect will search for these and make sure they are turned off.  

Its a great system, but the Alt+Tab issue with Gunbound it doesnt matter.
