Anyone here have a problem with launching the launcher?

Everytime clicking SF.exe, something like this will appear:

dflauncher
Download Failure.
Yes - Restart Launcher - Please Retry Download
No - Start game - Download is not required.

Then if you click no, and try logging in, another prompt would appear:

fail : Launcher - connect.

From my experience, users using McAfee as their anti virus will have this problem. This problem is cause by McAfee firewall. Thus all you need to do is to play around with the settings to solve it.

Here's the steps to playing around with your McAfee's :

1st: Go to your McAfee's browser and click on Firewall, then its settings

Next: Click on Programs Permission. Then scroll down till you see DFLauncher MFC and DFLPatcher MFC.

Next: Ensure that the permission given for both are FULL and not BLOCK.

Here are the screenshots that you can use to compare with your McAfee:

By following these steps, you should not have any problem. If problem still persist, ask GMs or anyone who is pro in IT stuffs.

Hey,

It's my pleasure to help the community. (:

The McaFee problem has been fixed.
The GM's gathered some info off me to find out why mcafee has been detecting it as a fake trojan and has been deleting the 'DFLauncher.exe' via my help and my mcafee. They had contacted Mcafeee and have gotten it fixed and you can now play it without having to turn off any firewalls or anti virus.

Problem solved

Oh, yours is a different problem. This problem is different. McAfee does not detect trojan.

But thanks for the info.

Oh, thanks, this helped alot.

Oh? i thought this happens when my internet disconnects.
Whenever I restart the comp, it goes back to normal.
Great guide anyways.

Hi pijung123

Are you from the Philippines?
For your information, connection to our Game Server has been restricted to countries such as the Philippines and Thailand.

Please refer to this news announcement for more details: http://sf.dfigames.com/news/Article.aspx?id=92

Erm,I have seen the announcement,has it alreadly affect Singapore players?when i click on the df launcher,it says fail launcher : connect
And i do not own any anti virus software,I have also allowed my firewall to not block the game.So,is the maintenance thingy already affected singapore?I was kinda looking forward to play after watching some of the reviews.

Hi cyrusfoo

According to the announcement, the restriction of game server connection only affects users who are residing in the Philippines and Thailand.

If you are residing in Singapore, you should have no issues connecting to our game. Our game server maintenance is usually scheduled on every Thursday at 1000H (GMT +8).

Cheers

Thanks,but this means that my game is not working....

this is what is in my file,am i lacking anything that is not making the launcher work?

Hi cyrusfoo

We have found one file to be missing i.e. dflauncher.exe
Please check if the file is being blocked by any of your security programs.
We are unable to send you a dflauncher.exe directly due to some security issues.

Please confirm and ensure that there is no program on your PC that might prevent the installation of our game.

Thanks

Would places such as Hong Kong be affected with this limiting?

YouTube,

Hong Kong should not have such a limit. We currently have a few players who are playing in your country as well.


the_rocker and wong7308,

What country are you two playing from?

i have a same prob fail launcher recvsomething like that when im loggingning
im from ph but i want to play insg server ..

You guys got PSF already rite?
Why bother with SGSF?
You guys lag bad as much as the Vietnamese players , then later the community will be hating Philipinos (same goes when Vietnamese and Brasilian players was still here)
But if i remember what Millais said to me , you guys are banned to play in SGSF.

i love what you say <3

nice guide

Can u help me clearly?
My game guard often has erro 114 when launch and if i fix it by close some collision programs, launch again and see notice: game or game guard is corrupted!

Reboot ur com brahh

try deleting the content in the gameguard folder and let it patch again~!!
Also if you have AVG 2011, please make sure it is not blocking Gameguard.

Yo guys, I seem to have the problem when I press the "start game" on the launcher. It says that something about app crash. Can you guys help me? I'm using Windows 7 though.

Amirulectro, I've replied to your email. But do see whether the methods used here has helped you.
Remember not to panick, it's only a laptop that might explode in front of you.
