Look what rengaurd has done to my computer!!! I uninstalled it because it wouldnt let me log on ("Renegade could not be found") and now when i try to play on the gamespy server, it says " There was an error that prevented you from logging on make sure itsh the correct file path" or whatever, its a load of crap, rengaurd totaled it, and i also lost my first cd and serial, i can NO longer play renegade at ALL.
Is rengaurd ACTUALLY protecting me? Is it actually saving me from hackers? I doubt it, after it ravaged my folder like that.
Also someone i know decompiled it a while back, it showed that It scans things it doesn't need, it steals personal information (serials,...) and so on.
And sometimes it even skips code...
So how is it so safe if it does this? (Im sure my topic will be deleted/closed for exposing this..)

if you had problems before you installed renguard then you should have fixed them BEFORE installing renguard....
and whats that d4t4 folder all about? Other than that the screenshot seems to be exactly what SHOULD be in the renegade folder, don't know why your whining about it....

As for RG knowing your serial, it HAS to know your serial (game serials are a form of GUID) so it can a) identify you (even if you use GSA) and b) it's how people are banned from RG...

Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

Only after it wouldnt let me connect =/
It just said " rengaurd "
"Could not find renegade" so of course im gonna look for some kind of fix..
and though it feels kinda like an attack on regaurd, waay back, about a year ago when i used to play on the westwood servers i used to hate hackers, and enthusiastically waited for rengaurds release, im hoping for a fix from a staff of the rg client, not to fight about its authenticity.

Whether or not you tried to "fix" your game, you should of seen that the exe was an attempt to bypass renguard. It's your own fault.

If your renegade dir is not under c:\ it will have problems. Also you need to log into WOL once without rg after you install it.
It's no ones fault but your own that you lost the CD. Spend the $5 and get a new one, then install it properly..

| You are incorrect, sir! My game and RenGuard run perfectly fine, but it's all installed un "D:\Westwood\Renegade\". Though I will admit that when I somehow managed to uninstall Westwood Online/Westwood Internet Components" and reinstalled it, that somehow destroyed Core Patch 1. . . And my resolution settings. Bizarro, but not entirely unfixable.
