 Attention! This post is old and the method described in it may not work anymore!


If you have installed Windows 8 and trying to run Lineage 2 - Goddess of Destruction, you will certainly have a problem running the game. An error message appears, saying that you are using hack programs and shuts down the game.

The solution:

Fixed and recompiled game guard disable dll for GoD & Harmony.
Based on original version made by Fyyre: http://fyyre.ivory-tower.de/
Dll is free as a original one.
Source is 'closed' as a original one.

This is beta version, tested it for 2 days and worked. If don't work for you, just tell... Will see what can be done...

Instruction:
1. Update client.
2. Put dll into lineage 2\system folder (replace original one)
3. Change name of L2.bin file to L2.exe (or copy)
4. Start game by using l2.exe, login into character selection window
5. Play

  4. With full version of Windows 8 (from MSDNAA for students and developers) i just managed to start L2 with that nasty error of gameguards. So i tried this library and just after login into game it says: "Gameguard Fail! Please Restart Lineage2"
    meanwhile when i am writing this message pops up Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error about path/System/L2.exe Request to terminate it in an unusual way. ouch so thats nothing then.

    So sadly it doesn't work. Can you contact me at biosek(at)email(dot)cz? If you are are going to help me :p
