Wont Launch?

[Dolo]

Was playing yesterday fine.
Now the game wont even open. I have reinstalled, verified and still nothing. Any one else having issues?

[Rikuto01]

Depends which issue you're having. If its error code 21, I have no solution. If its stuck on connecting, eventually it will work if you exit the game and try every five minutes or so.

Sometimes it doesn't, relaunching helps for me.

Ingame I have some serious sound issues, feeling like I'm underwater, or the enemis are underwater... That's a new feature. HAHAA

i think it is a file permissions problem or a token privilege problem. HELLO IRONMACE? talk here i dont feel like emailing. the two services, TAVERNCOMN_1_1 TAVERNWORKER_1_1 h ave likely been changed with the patch. they probably require privileges, though there are none listed in the service parameters found in HKEY LOCALMACHINE SYSTEM CONTROLSET001 SERVICES\
you can try to start>run>SECPOL.MSC and for EVERY TOKEN THERE (anti-spyware guys wont like this) type this as u add a 'user' to permission' how to add a 'service' which is a user actually, to permission is by typing NT SERVICE\SERVICENAME
so on a default meklin method u will not have a user name account on my windows so u will have to add SOUND to its own token permission such as increase working set, bypass traverse checking, these things are needed by services. im almost certain bypass traverse checking needs to be set on the taverns.
WINDOWS KEY + R > SECPOL.MSC > local policies > user rights assessment
this is where we are working.. and this refers to a file which CAN be loaded in regedit, in c:\windows\security\database\secedit.sdb there are also other locations this data is stored as its part of Group Police and a registry backup tool will NOT do this for you
other things needed to activate sound on a elite gaming os with no user account would be increasing sheduling priority, obtain impersonation tokens, etc. it says in the service what is required, and im sure ironmace doesnt have it right. so look at AudioSrv, AudioEndpointBuilder, the services i had to learn how to give permissions to and turn on myself, way harder than even windws98 installing ur own drivers... we have for audioendpointbuilder REG_MULTI_SZ type reg key, with data as SeChangeNotifyPrivilege, and that is for the value of 'RequiredPrivileges' (which is a reg_multi_sz, a multi-string value (list of things!)

now u can remove some privileges from the 'requiredprivileges' value if u want to start a service without them, but no guarantee it works (like ironmace background app tasks!!!!!)

because if it needs that, it wont have it, so for the ironmace services we can add:
RequiredPrivileges REG_MULTI_SZ SeChangeNotifyPrivilege SeImpersonatePrivilege SeIncreaseWorkingSetPrivilege
then in secpol, click those three things, click add user, and type: NT SERVICE\TAVERNCOMN_1_1
do it again add user and type:
NT SERVICE\TAVERNWORKER_1_1

now those two services MIGHT work! are we running as the wrong user, a 'users' group user, not an administrator? we dont know the problem yet but it seems many people have it. the anticheat is changing, this is why

[Eklipse1377]

Did they put a patch out today? Because I downloaded the update yesterday and played no issues. Now suddenly today it’s not working..

[Mr. Jericho]

Latest patch broke the game completely for me as well. Can't launch it at all.

[MeKLiN]

some say to move the game to another folder. some files are leftover when you delete dark darker. just use the VOID TOOLS PROGRAM called EVERYTHING SEARCH and open it as NSUDO .exe, which is a program to open things as trusted installer. u can find it on my github.com/meklin2/a1 kit which has various tweak programs for basically quake gamer masters who are 20 levels higher than fortnite players on their first gfaming pc. think monitor driver modifications, overclocking, etc. windows settings. opened with NSUDO.exe, the EVERYTHING.EXE program u should have downloaded, will let u delete things as u search, and u can search IRONMACE, TAVERN, ETC to delete all the remnant folders. id like to see if anyone fixes it this way than the peopole in the other threads i just bumped

Same here

Same here QAQ

[Vonrick]

Same, game gets stuck on loading after i find a match and accept. multiple restarts, uninstall and reinstall and still no luck.

[MeKLiN]

vonrick i think you would have some luck reinstalling windows entirely, there is something known as the MediaCreationTool google it and it should get you started. you can either download an ISO or let the automated thing go. windows 10 is easy to reinstall. i would avoid windows 11. you can have likely two OS's on the same drive, and DUAL BOOT will be automatically setup, and if you have trouble getting to the other OS let me know and i will post how to run BCDEDIT, DISKPART, and load ur UEFI and edit its boot data

this is the only known fix right now, is to entirely reinstall windows. i will me making a live stream on one of my youtubes later showing the process if you are on later tonight. you can watch it from a laptop or another computer to see it and make sure u do the things the right way as ill show, or u can wait until tomorrow and download the video so u can view it offline, maybe bringing it to a offline pc to view the proper method to format, partition, and APPLY A WIM to your hard drive, which style formatting of the drive MBR master boot record or GPT guid partition table. very easy stuff and if it fixes the game we shouldnt be here complaining anymore but playing the game.

windows will not delete your current files if you let it run the installer, it will move it to a folder called windows.old, though i have a way to just make it windows2 and have both windowses kind of mixed together which saves space (sharing program files, users folder, programdata, etc)

nevermind thought vonrick had errror code 21. try chkdsk your drive and increase the page file. system specs? did the game work fine before the patch 2 days ago?

I think increasing the page file worked, thanks MeK

[MeKLiN]

no problem dont forget to WINDOWSKEY+R+CMD
and
CHKDSK C: /f
if it is NOT an ssd you can do /f /r but that checks every sector and takes a while

[Eklipse1377]

I still can’t get in and I got my first error code 16
