ShadowFalls is almost right.
Since the design was to make it so that no matter how you launch Renegade renguard starts (by renaming the executable).
Lets say you have a dialup connection and all you want to do is play a single player mission and you click on the Renegade shortcut on the start menu.
There is now no way to start renegade without expliciting running game2.exe
I am sad to say there are people out there who can't handle this, hence installing RenGuard stops these people from playing renegade.
Hence it is a flaw in the implementation (otherwise known as a bug).
Renguard should detect the lack of network connection and bring up a message box asking you if you want to run renegade anyway (without renguard).
