lulz...all of you having this problem(by this problem i mean the unfinished path through the program [i.e. missing files like gameguard.des]) are the very definition of PHAIL...its so easy to fix xD
usually i found that this has happened because you are using a sub-admin account on a computer...the solution is easy, and ill even explain WHY it works...
because the file is usually placed in C: (drive for you retards), it is counted as part of the "computer mainframe"in a way...which you are not allowed to edit as a sub-admin account(makes sense if you think about it)...all that you have to do, is copy the NTREEV(or whatever) folder, and paste it into "my documents" for your sub-admin account...if it doesnt fix the problem right there, find the missing file and paste it in several folders(grand chase folders, specifically) until the complete path goes through and starts the game
when you do this, it will only work if you run the on IN YOUR DOCUMENTS...the set of paths for the programs in C: are different from the one in "my documents"...so you still will not be able to run the copy that is in the C drive part of "My computer"
and if you cant play the game after an update(sometimes you just need to run the patch on an admin account, then it will work until the next patch), its not because of the programming...Ntreev is doing a fine job...the problem is the fact that there is no limit to human stupidity
anyone who knows what they're doing would agree with me...if you dont, you dont know what you're doing, and that's most likely why you're in this forum in the first place!
if people would just think for themselves, the world would be alot better off...i thought of this when i was 10 you noobs...
message me if you still have problems
ill help you as best as i can
