This error started with the December 27 patch. Has anyone been getting the same error, or has anyone been able to run the game on Windows XP 64 since that patch?
Bug Description : When Client_tos.exe tries to launch (either through steam or manually) it fails to launch and gives the error “A debugger has been found running in your system. Please, unload it from memory and restart your program.” There’s no debuggers or antivirus running, and the error still happens when Windows does a diagnostic startup with everything turned off.
Date and Time(Please, specify the timezone) : The first time the game tried to launch after the December 27 patch, a couple hours after maintenance ended. The game was working fine before maintenance. Last week I was logging into this computer remotely, so I didn’t get to reboot and turn things off until today.
Steps to reproduce the issue :
- Click on “play game” in Steam (or on Client_tos.exe manually)
- The error comes up and the game fails to launch
Screenshots / Video :
Here’s the processes running at the time (taskmgr.exe wasn’t running until after the error):
System
- CPU : AMD Phenom II X4 965 Processor (4 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
- RAM : 8190MB RAM
- Graphics Card : Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4830 DirectX 9.0c
- Mainboard : MSI MS-7641
- Storage : Without ToS installed, 21.1GB free (300GB total)
- OS : Windows XP Professional x64 Edition (5.2, Build 3790) Version 5.2.3790 Service Pack 2 Build 3790
- Internet Connection : Cable
- Country, Region : Eastern US
Google searches show people having this problem with other games (a lot of Nexon ones) due to AVG or Windows 10, but AVG isn’t installed. There’s no other antivirus running and no ToS addons, no Amdfix.sys file, no Creative Audigy, turning off windows firewall didn’t help, malware scans don’t find anything, and the same error still happens when the system is booted in diagnostic mode and all startup items and unnecessary services are disabled. Reinstalling the game from scratch didn’t fix it. The last maintenance didn’t fix it, but did give me pak update errors so I had to edit the release file to get debugger errors again.
Is this what they meant when the notes for that patch said this?
